A birthday, the flu, and a Punkin'

I decided to spruce this thing up a little bit because I was tired of seeing the same background over and over again.  I think it looks much, much better--don't you?

Since I'm 23 today, I thought I'd write a little something just because.  Not really..it's because I spent so much time on this stinkin' background, someone other than myself was going to see it dadgumit!  Today has been pretty uneventful to say the least, but I'm so thankful that I've had the past couple days off of work because poor Steven has been sick with the flu.  I imagine that 2 days in a row with a fever of 103 can be pretty rough on your body, so he's pretty much been passed out all day on the couch.  Luckily, I think his fever has finally broken so I'm hoping he'll actually be able to get a good night's rest (like, sleep all through the night instead of on and off and scaring the crap out of me when he trips over the laundry basket and almost face plants into my bedside table while he tries to get the thermometer to check his temperature..good gracious, you could just wake me up the normal way goober!)

Since the last post, nothing has really changed all that much.  I finally got Steven to let me put his desk the way I wanted it to be in our 2nd bedroom so that we could have room for Punkin's crib when we get it.  He was really enjoying his little set up in there, but quite honestly, it was driving me up the wall.  Normally I'm not much of the planner, but I've been itching to start getting things in order in our guest room/office/nursery (bahaha..ridiculous..).  I'm ready to put things on the wall and fill up Steven's old dresser with little Punkin' things instead of it just sitting there empty. Hopefully we'll be able to get the crib within the next couple of weeks, or I think I will drive Steven nuts from talking about it so much.

I've had a lot of people ask if I've had any cravings lately, and I'm sorry to disappoint y'all, but I'm pretty boring.  If I have any type of "craving" it's basically like a one time thing.  It took Steven  a couple of times to figure that one out.  If I really want something, I have to have it pretty much right then, or else I won't want it any more.  For example, I had my heart set on a bologna sandwich one day.  Like, I could seriously just taste it all day long, and when I got home I went to make said sandwich.  But alas, Steven had eaten the last of the bologna.  It was so sad, but I didn't make a big deal of it--I just ate something else like any other normal person would do.  The next day, Steven came in the house just beaming at me and told me that he had a surprise for me.  Yes, you guessed it!  He went out and bought me some bologna because he felt bad he ate the last of it and he knew I really wanted it.  Well, he definitely didn't get the reaction he wanted--far from it actually.  A wrinkled nose, a fake smile, but a sincere thank you kind of wounded him a little I think.  I felt pretty bad, but I thought it was super sweet of him to think about me, and he did get a hug even though he didn't really want it after all that..haha.

Punkin' will get his or her photo taken again next Wednesday though, and we'll see if it's still the crazy nut baby it was all the past times I've gone in for a scan.  That child basically looked like it was pushing off the wall in some swimming race, and then immediately went into a standing position.  I'm going to assume that this is a good thing, and wishful thinking, this kid will be a hardcore athlete.  I felt my first real Punkin' kick last night and I was so excited!  Actually, it scared the poo out of me at first, but then I got excited and grabbed poor sick hubby's hand to let him try to feel the kicking too.  Nada.  Punkin' apparently was not thrilled with sick daddy touching not sick mama's belly.  All kicks immediately came to a halt, and I think Steven probably thought I was just going crazy (I mean, it's possible).  But there have been lots of kicks today, of course mainly when Steven was passed out for hours on the couch, but he finally managed to feel a bit of one.  I think he thought that it was going to be a super strong kick and was a little disappointed when it wasn't.  Um, excuse me, but I don't think you would want an intense kick inside your belly, sir, and neither would I!  I'm sure though that he'll get some stronger one's to feel within the coming weeks.  I just want to see his face light up like I know it will when he really feels one.  He's such a little cutie when it comes to Punkin', and very protective of my stomach when it comes to Cos, who likes to use my belly as a launching pad of sorts.  Speaking of Cos, I'm not sure if he knows yet or not, but he did have his paw on my belly for a while this afternoon, and it almost looked like he was trying to be like daddy waiting for a kick to occur. He'll find out eventually..dun dun DUN!

I just love my sweet little family to pieces :)
