Kick kick kick!!!!!

This morning as I was just laying in bed, contemplating on sleeping more or getting up I was resting my arm gently on my stomach.  Well, a fee minutes in, I felt the baby kick!! It was like a really really really soft poke. I've been trying to feel the baby again, but have been unsuccessful! I told Greg tonight and he sounded so excited about it! So now I know that it'll be just a few more weeks before I actually feel the kicks even stronger. Baby boling has been very active all day today. I kind of like it :-) I just wish I can feel it from the skin too but I keep missing it.

Well, 1 more week and we find out the gender!!! I can't wait!!!

Oh no!

So the past few days when little one is kicking up a storm (the few seconds that I can feel it), little one is kicking me pretty hard. It seriously throws me off completely. Most times it catches me off guard that I sometimes lose balance (shuddup, don't laugh!). Last night I was hanging with some friends of mine and they were talking about Greg and his strength. So today as little one was being active and kicking mommy, it dawned on me... little one might take after Greg and his tree trunk, super strength, all muscle legs... I sent him a text earlier saying " I hate you.... I hate you soooo much! I think lil one is a lil you with your frikin tree trunk legs! It's quite uncomfortable to be kicked so hard on my empty bladder!" Even though the experience is quite the memorable experience, sometimes it's annoying!

Partay!!!!

<p>Wait, what?!?!? 2 Blogs in one day?!?!</p>
<p>Well! I am quite excited about our Party! For those who have RSVP'd, i'll be sending an email out to everyone this week. The place has been booked, it has been decided to be indoors. And we found a place that's perfect!</p>
<p>The cake is all set, I have an Aunt doing the cake for me. And no one can contact her to find out the gender. Neener neener neeeeeener!

I also already have a theme in mind too. And for those wondering, yes lil children are allowed to attend. There will be some games and prizes. Of course food food food!!

Everything is falling into place!

If Heaven wasn't so far away

So there's this song that I absolutely love! It's called "If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away" by Justin Moore. And at times it makes me cry. I don't know why, but I've been thinking about my grandparents a lot lately. They were a big part of my life and they have passed on years ago. My Lolo (grandfather) passed away when I was 12 or 13. He was the one who taught me how to play the piano. I remember being a little girl, sitting next to that baby grand piano and my Lolo playing it. Both my Lolo and Lola (grandmother) were such great pianists! They both had the eye and ear to play. They both knew how to read and make their own. I grew up with classical music and black and white film featuring Shirley Temple (a lot). I remember watching a lot of Jerry Lewis (still one of my favorite actors) with James Dean. I remember watching The Wizard of OZ in black and white. Before I go completely off track, My grandfather used to play New York, New York a lot with me. Every time I hear that song, I think of him. I remember he would pick me and my sister up from ballet class and sometimes take us to baskin robins or even Ralph's! I remember being close to him. I wish he was still here.

My Lola passed away when I was 21 years old. Not only was she great with the piano, she was an amazing seamstress, designer. She used to work for General hospital as their seamstress. I remember seeing all her "badges" to Emmy awards hanging from the window sil where she put her sewing machine. She had an album of dresses she made for the actors and actresses for General Hospital (even for Demi Moore and Elizabeth Taylor). Her album even included a telegram of her being nominated for best seamstress. Even it being her job, she made a lot of clothes for me and my sisters. I dont' know why, but she always dressed me and my older sister like twins. For a lot of family gatherings, we wore matching outfits. The last dress she made me was my prom dress which I still have. I plan on using that when Greg and I have our wedding (which has been pushed back to 10 year anniversary). When I think of my grandparents, I think of how much fun they would have with Baby Boling whether it's a boy or girl. They loved us all. I just wish they were still here.

If heaven wasn't so far away, I'd ask my Lola to teach me how to sew. I would love to learn her tricks and I would love to learn how to sew just like her. She really knew how to fit your clothes like a glove! If heaven wasn't so far away, I'd ask my Lolo to play just one more song with me and show him how my vocals have improved since I was a kid.

I miss them. And sometimes it's hard to let go.

Ultrasound!

So yesterday I had my anatomy ultrasound. Greg was able to make it home to see the ultrasound (US)! Our US tech was awesome and fun to talk to. We told her if she can put the gender of the baby on a piece of paper and seal it in an envelope for us.  She was happy to do so for us!  The whole experience was amazing. We had so much fun talking about the military, the baby. Asking questing on what part of the baby she had on th screen.  As you can tell on the pic, the baby was smiling for the camera. The baby was very active yesterday but baby didn't want to flip over!  It's amazing how baby boling started off as something so little and now the size of a heirloom tomato.  What's funny is Greg kept commenting on how the baby is already a Marine. Practicing his MCMAP since the baby kept kicking and moving around.

When we first started, the US tech asked us if our baby had a nickname yet. Greg started saying Jar Head, Marine, Leather Neck, etc. Like I said, he swears the baby is already a Marine. The whole experience was so great! I might have to go in a second time because she said she couldn't get a clear sound of the heartbeat and she couldn't get a clear view of the umbilical cord. And baby wouldn't flip over. Greg was laughing at the fact that the baby seemed to keep kicking the US tech away. At the end of it, she gave us a bunch of pictures! She sealed away the picture of the gender and wrote the gender down. I can't wait! It is now pinned on my cork board until we send it to a baker of our choice. Just a few more weeks away!

Yay, Heartbeat!!!!

So on July 1, I bought Baby Sounds B Fetal Doppler. For those who don't know what a doppler is, it's an ultrasound that the DR or NP uses to find the heartbeat of the baby. No image, just get to hear the heartbeat. Well, I got it on July 6 and have been trying since then to find the baby's heartbeat. So finally last night as I was playing with it (like i have been almost every night), I finally found the heartbeat! It was the coolest thing ever! Of course I've heard my baby's heartbeat at the Dr's office. But now, I get to hear it every night! I did video tape it:



Sorry it's so quiet. I was having a hard time getting a loud and clear sound of the heartbeat. But ti seemed like everytime I tried to move the doppler just a little, I would lose the heartbeat. And of course as soon as I put my phone away I finally found the heartbeat. What was cool that time was I actually followed the baby move from my right side of my tummy to my left. Must have done a sumersault. haha!

Greg is supposed to be home Wednsday night, but he's not quite sure. I really hope that he does! Our Ultrasound is this Thursday. And I really want him to be a part of it. If he can't make it home in time, I'll just videotape it so that he can watch it. His driver Manager is awesome though. She always tries her best to get him home on time. But I know that things happen and doesn't go the way we want.

Update on the party, it looks like we may have it at the William B. Ponds. Right next to the river. I'm going to have to double check on alcohol rule. But even without alcohol, I know it's going to be so exciting!!! I'll be sending out invites on July 21 when I get all the RSVP in to determine where exactly it will be.

Well, i'm off to bed now. I'm really tired! Goodnight all!

trust...

Definition of trust:
Have faith or confidence, allow without fear, believe: be confident about something,faith: complete confidence in a person or plan etc, confidence: a trustful relationship

Once upon a time tonight, I was very tired and was ready to sleep. And now... I've got something bugging me and need to get it off my chest. As I've stated before. I am a trucker's wife. It's a hard job, but really and truly its easy to deal with. One main and big factor of this relationship working is TRUST! I can't even explain how huge of a deal this is! A buddy of ours just got on the truck with Greg to team drive with him. Well apparently his GF called me up crying hysterically saying that someone called her from HIS phone saying that he's been cheating on her with other girls while he's on the truck. You're probably wondering "well that's pretty easy to believe" but you don't know our buddy AND Greg! FYI, there's programs on line and on the smart phones where you can "mask" (change) your actual phone number. I proved it to her as soon as I found a website that did such a thing. A while later our buddy got the exact same call, but it was a guy saying that she's cheating on him. Greg answered though and gave the idiot some trivial questions that the idiot couldn't even answer. So after telling her to calm down and constantly telling her that she needs to trust him and not that girl that called her, I called Greg to get things straightened out. I have trust and faith in Greg. I know my husband VERY well! he would NEVER let a thing like that EVER happen near him, let along in his truck. So I told him "hey, she's crying hysterically, can you let him kno. It sounds like someone masked their number." I'm not going to accuse Greg of cheating. He's never given me any reason for me to assume such a thing. I'm highly aware that it happens, but I'm also highly aware that Greg would never cheat on me. Oh and same with our friend, he has never given her any reason for her to assume he's cheating on her. Unfortunately, as you can see, their relationship is leaking into our relationship. It's not messing our marriage, but it's most definitely pissing us off and stressing us out. Because of her, Greg was basically told that he was a liar and have no morals. Really?!?! Do you really think that I would be married to someone who is a liar and a cheater?!?! Thanks for saying "F-You" to me too! Greg was livid, and still is! I am too!, obviously because I can't sleep!

She needs to grow up and stop listening to her friends and family that DO NOT know who we are and who DO NOT know who our buddy is. We have morals and we're all not dumb enough to frikin' cheat on our significant other! Greg and I have a GREAT marriage. Do you really think that he would jeopardize what we have? In other words, do you really think he would allow his buddy to cheat on his GF?!?!? When Greg's home, he wants to be with me! He hates leaving me home when I am too tired to go anywhere. He hates men and women who cheat. We call them pussies, morons, idiots, no back bone, no frikin' balls, weakling, etc. I HATE drama... I hate it with a blooody passion! But unfortunately, unless she starts changing and starts realizing that she has a really great and trusting guy, we're stuck with stupid ass f*ing drama almost on a daily basis! Grow up! You let that skank win because you couldn't trust your own BF who has given you no reason to assume that he would EVER cheat on you. You would have won if you laughed and left the skank some clever remark like "oh, we must be having a threesome at the moment then." and hang up!

You know what my dad and mom would say to me when I was told something OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER again and each time I would not listen or believe them??!?!?! "ma Tigas ng ulo mo!" Translate that yourself, that's how she is!

happy 4th everyone!

It got too warm in the laundry mat. Yesterday I ad a blast! Like a pre-4th bbq at a friends house. It was a lot of fun. Got to meet a couple of other people. Her friends. And it was an all around fun time.

Greg called me today to tell me his truck broke down randomly. Poor greg. So now him an kevin are stuck in Nebraska till tomorrow or someting. Gonna have to take it to peterbuilt. Well, get it towed to peterbuilt in colorado. Its hot as hell out there too apparently. So I gave him the ok to book a room for the night at one of the hotels nea by.

Jealousy? No, don't think I have it...

OK, maybe a little. So tonight Greg called to tell me he's having dinner at Hooters. I was actually kind of jealous that he was there! Why??? Because I haven't had hooters wings in like FOREVER!!!! But, he promised me he wouldn't order wings :-) what a sweetie!!!

What, did you all really think I would get Jealous of the girls at Hooters??? Please, I used to go there a few times a month with a few friends of mine. Not only that but I know he talks about me. He tells me his night or day and it's really cute! He was telling me he was flirting with the waitress, but initially told her that it's just friendly flirt as he's married. haha, I really do love that man! And no, I didn't even get jealous at that either! Probably because I know what kind of flirting he was doing. He does it all the time when we're out and it cracks me up. Plus it kind of gives us an idea of how much the waiter/waitress deserves a tip. So, why would I be jealous? I have no reason to. Because the end of it all, he comes back to me. Not to boast or anything, but I think we have a pretty strong marriage. OH! And he bought me a shot glass from hooters!!!! Damn, now I'm craving hooters wings......... Maybe tomorrow? or when greg is home. Just a few more weeks and I get to see the hubby and have the Ultrasound!!! yay!!!!!

So, I had an interesting afternoon... I took Mr. T out for him to potty and to play with him for a little bit and took out the water balloons. Well, I filled about 20 water balloons but was only able to stock up 7 of them. Mr. T kept going after them and popping them shortly after I tied them up. And one of the balloons as I was tying, he decided to jump up and pop it. So I ended up getting splashed in the face... Thanks bubbas... thanks...

I'm trying to think of what else to put here, but I just can't think of any... So until next time... Goodnight!
