Death Cramp From HELL

So the other night I am staying at my parents house, lying snug in the bed and sound asleep with my dog Wyatt when all of a sudden I am awoken by this deathly painful cramp in my left leg. It felt like someone had cut open my leg ripped my muscles out and started digging around in there. It was truly horrible. The more I moved the worse it got and if I was still it was still painful. I am screaming at the top of my lungs, my dog wakes up starts freaking out, I am on the verge of crying and no one came to my rescue. Lol. I am suprised no one heard me I was sreaming so loud. It finally went away and I fell asleep. I hope I never have that pain again. I looked up my bedtime night pain and found out that it is common in pregnancy to get these wonderful cramps during sleep. Great. So I hope I never get another one this whole pregnancy.

Drum Roll Please...

And the baby is a......GIRL!! I can finally tell yall! So Erik and I went on April 7th to the doctor to get my third ultrasound done but my day started off on the wrong foot before our little visit. I was on my was home from paying the wedding cake lady and an 18 wheeler ran me off the road. I know right. So my brand new car my hubby bought me was wrecked and myself crying and freaking out made everything worse. The great news about this is that myself and the baby were just fine, just alittle scared and shaken. So after all that jazz was done Erik and I were off to the doctors for our ultrasound. So the doctor is like are yall ready to find out what the baby is and of course we are like yea. So she finds our little baby, which is not so little now and starts to look for girl or boy parts. She was like lets find out what this mystery baby is. So when she said this baby is no longer a mystery we were stoked to hear what she had to say. We are waiting patiently and then she says its a girl! Erik and I were both floored because we have been saying the baby was a boy this whole time. Now our little bun is a girl that we have decided to name Scarlett Rose. So pretty. I cant wait for our little girl to arrive. So the best thing about is that we waited to tell everyone till our rehersal dinner for our wedding. Everyone tried their best to pry it out of us before then. So what we did was we bought pink and blue baby cards and wrote a thank you letter in them thanking everyone for their support during our wedding process, and at the bottom was signed Erik, Ashley & Scarlett Rose. So everyone had either pink or blue and everyone was like aww its a girl I got a pink card and others had blue. Confusion everywhere. You didnt find out until you read the names at the bottom. It was great fun and it was Eriks idea. So now everyone knows and life is good. We go to see our little girl next Monday and we are excited to see how our little girl has grown.

Feel it on the outside?

Eww dont have a gross mind. LOL. Well today I was at work sitting watching like a million hours of Biggest Loser when I put my hand on my lower abs and all of a sudden I felt a big, hearty kick! And I felt it from the outside. So I sat there for like ten minutes with the show on pause like if I moved or made noise I would scare Bun. I felt like a loin on the hunt and if I made noise my prey way gone. Lol. So I had been debating that if the feeling I am feeling is Bun or gas. So today was definite confirmation that it is def the baby. I was so excited! Yesterday I thought I felt something right before I was going to bed, but I threw it out because I moved at the same time so I really couldnt tell if it was Bun or not. I am really excited for Erik. He will be so happy to feel Bun finally. That is the best part about it, he gets to share my experiences now and that is just awesome. So I cant wait to get home and hope Bun puts on a show for his daddy. I cant wait till tomorrow either, we finally get to find out if Bun has a taco or a bean bag lol!! Well if Bun lets us. So I cant wait for tomorrow!! Now I get to plan and buy things for our little girl or boy!!! I cant wait!

I have an alien in my uterus!!!!!!!!

So I have been feeling these weird things in my uterus/ lower ab area. So all week I have been trying to see if its gas, upset tummy, but it has not sank in completely that ITS THE BABY!! So this past week I have been trying to decifer if it is the baby or I need to fart. Sooo recently I was driving in my car singing to Bun and myself I kept feeling something weird going on in that region. I cant ever tell if it is the vibration of the car, me moving or other factors. So yesterday I was at church when again I felt this weird feeling in my uterus. So I tell Ashley (Eriks sis, my future sis-in-law) I swear I feel something moving! She tells me that of course I feel something im pregnant. Duh. So all day I concentrated and felt slight flutters and moving. But it was so light I thought it was gas. So last night I was lying down getting ready to go to bed and felt something moving. So now im at my work and there is definitly moving in there. I have noticed that after I eat Bun gets on the move, if it is Bun moving, and in the car when I sing. Its so exciting!! It kinda is a weird feeling like fluttering of butterflys or little gas bubbles. Truely it is the weirdest things I have felt ever and I know its going to get more intense and more alien like. I cant wait till Erik can feel. He will be so excited. He tries to feel Bun like everyday but he cant yet. He is so sweet, he is going to be a great Dad. So our little Bun is a mover and a shaker!!

Dreams of Starbucks and baby faces?

Last night Erik and I went to bed at like 10:30pm. So I crashed as soon as my head hit the pillow. When I got into my deep sleep I started having dreams of Starbuck and babies. Here is how the dream starts I think. I am with my cuz Jessica and we are driving to Starbucks to get some tasty treats. We leave the car and we go inside. All these people I havent talked to in a while were there that I had previously worked with at the Bucks. So we go on chatting and some lady comes in the store and is like, "Theres a baby in that car!!! I cant believe someone left their baby in a car!! Im callin the cops." So then at that moment I realize that my baby is not with me, I left it in the car! Baby had only been in the car for a few minutes with the car running. So I look at the baby and I see its face that is sleeping so soundly in its carseat. It is a baby boy with blackish hair and tan skin. OMG I saw my babies face. So while I am seeing this in my dream I am freaing out in my head. I just saw my babies face. So I grab baby and I go inside. The lady never called the cops and no one seemed to notice I had left the baby in the car except for her. I cant believe my cuz didnt notice, but then again I can believe it. Lol. So while I am still trying to get over that I may have seem my baby face before it was born I woke up. I was so upset because I wanted to see more of my baby. I toss and turn forever before falling asleep. When I start dreaming again I start right back were I started. Crazy I can never do that. So I am still in The Bucks drinking coffee (oh how I miss coffee) and I look over to the baby carrier and see babys face again same beautiful face that I left before I woke. My baby boy was so beautiful!! I just think its weird because in dreams I rarely can focus on things enough to describle the detail of things let alone go back to a certain spot in a dream. I dont know if I really saw Bun, but it got me so excited about our baby even more. I cant wait to meet this mysterious baby.

Snoring

So last night I got a hand in me face telling me to STOP SNORING!!. Lol. SInce I have been pregnant I have been talking in my sleep and now snoring quite badly. Eriks way of making me stop is to pock me in the face until I stop. On night he woke me up like 3 times and the last time he was like, "If you dont stop I am going to kick your ass!" Well thats just what a lady want to hear in the middle of the night it that, but he was totally kidding. In the morning he was like you were talking in your sleep so bad, I had to wake you. You were making no sence saying things like jibberjaber. If I had a recorder to play back the impression he did of me, I was the funniest thing I have ever heard. So he went around mocking me all day. I have always snored but I think it has gotten worse since the pregnancy and the talking in me sleep thing it totaly new to me, but quite funny. Maybe its Bun trying to talk through me, weird huh.

Pants

So Im at work, sitting minding my own business when suddenly my Superior comes up to me and is like, "Ashley you have to wear a uniform!" AHHHH. My worst nightmare. For 2 1/2 months I have been wearing flip flops, jeans, hoodies, all of my comfy clothes. He said the reason being it that the Chief that is over us wanted everyone to look the same. :) So non of my work pants fit me let alone will button. So I have to ask my sweet fiance if I can us his pants. Yea he wears a 33-34 in pants and I am almost to big in my tummy that they wont last long. Sucks. So Im walking around in man pants and still not comfy. And i have to wear my boots and uniform shirt. Its like I am in Hell. Aww so I dont know what I am going to do when his pants dont fit me anymore. I can walk around with a rubberband holding my pants together. Its just a thought.
