aww man!

My worst fear came true: I can no longer use CocoButter or Olay Quench Body Lotion.

I somehow developed an allergy to them. Probably because I would use them 3+ times a day. hah yeah im obsessed with that stuff.

Think I can make it 3 more days without any belly stretch marks?? eeeek I'm SURE I can feel them coming on.

Guessing Game!

I love Anne Geddes pictures. My mom has a big Anne Geddes book at home full of adorable baby pictures. My sister and I used to sit and oooo and ahhh over the pages together. The names of the babies were listed below their pictures, and we would pick our favorites and say "oh, that is totally what I'm going to name baby." I wish I could see that book now, I am in dire need of a middle name for our sweet baby boy.

Just for fun, our family always has a "guessing game" to see who guesses the baby's stats the closest. Since there are only 6 more days until the big day....here are my guesses:

Length: 19 inches
Weight: 8lbs 14 oz
Eye color after the newborn blue/gray phase is over: Blue
Hair color: Dark brown, and a head full of it!

What are your guesses?

Time flies when you are....busy.

It has been a very busy last 2 weeks at the Antczak manor. Our poor puppy got sick, and we had to take him to the vet. He had a cough. Which might sound like nothing, but dogs don't just "get coughs" like humans do. We have no idea where he got it from, but we know it is contagious, because our neighbor's dog has the same cough now. Bauer is doing much better now that the antibiotics have kicked in. Here is the pooch styling his dollar store Halloween costume on the animal hospital table:

This week, I COMPLETED my internship!! It feels SO good to have it done. Here is me styling my preschool Halloween costume. Jared painted the shirt! He's so talented :) Our Preschool Halloween party wasn't on Halloween, and I felt stupid posing outside with all the neighbors watching, so I made Bauer sit next to me with a hat on, so I wouldn't be the only weird one :p

Did you notice how big my belly is now? That either has to do with the insane amount of Halloween candy and snacks and treats I have eaten these last few weeks, or it may have something to do with the fact that i'm officially FULL TERM now! whooo! but seriously, I wasnt kidding about the Halloween treats... This is just one of the many "snack plates" I enjoyed this week at preschool.


The Antczak Fam... how presh! Jared is styling his "Madison Memorial Hospital volunteer uniform" oww OWWW. My hubby is HAWWT :)
We had some friends over last week to carve pumpkins. Here is Ben and Kristen and their dog Koda.

us and Bow of course! I hollowed out the pumpkin, and left the carving part to Jared and his mad skillz.

Josh, Carley, Sophia and their dog Sadie.

Brint and Brittnee, and their dog Diesel (Bauer's brother)

And our fabulous pumpkins. Jealous of my Picasa photo collage? I'm pretty talented.

Here is just a random pic I took last week. Bauer thinks that he doesn't have enough toys inside, so he loves to sneak things into the house from outside. sticks, pine-cones, trash, rocks, broken sprinkler heads, leaves...ect I came into the living room to find this lovely mess:
How did he manage to sneak that huge stick in the house? I dont know.

Jared put Bauer in the baby's crib...and of course Bauer was TERRIFIED of it. This pic makes me laugh.

Welp, there are 10 more days until the baby comes! I have SO many things I still need to get done. Let's just hope these next 10 days go by just as fast as the past few have been going. :)

The Dream

Last night I had an interesting dream: Jared and I were visiting my parents in Georgia (which is weird, because my parents had already moved to NC by the time I met Jared) but anyways there we were in Georgia, and we were about to go swimming in our pool. I posted a few pics of our house/pool in GA so you can visualize my dream better. lol

Our pool in Georgia was pretty sweet. The lights in the pool changed colors!
Green...then blue...purple...pink, and back to white I believe.

Anyways, back to my dream. So the water was pink when I decided to dive in. As I dove under the water, I did a front flip, and the weirdest thing happened. I felt my WHOLE stomach literally turn, and I felt the baby flip up-side-down. Normally in dreams you don't feel anything, but in this dream I swear I did! I instantly woke up and put my hands on my belly. It felt rock hard, and I couldn't feel the baby's head poking out near my ribs on the right side like I normally could. I got really excited and thought "maybe the baby actually did flip!" I woke up this morning, and tried again to feel where the baby was, but I couldn't! For some reason, my stomach would not relax, and I couldn't feel any part of the baby.

I went in to the doctors for my regular check-up this morning, and I told the doctor I couldn't feel where the baby was positioned like I normally could. He pushed on my stomach (yes it hurt!) and he said "well, it feels like he is still breech....................wait let me feel again..............hold on a sec...... you know what?......I think he HAS turned!!" I got so excited and told him I had a dream last night that he flipped! and the doctor said "lets do an ultra sound just to make sure he turned."

We went to the ultrasound room. I laid on the table while the tec rubbed the warm goop all over my belly, and I happily told her too about my dream. She put the monitor on my stomach (on the top left side) I felt so special for knowing that my baby had flipped because of a dream I had. BUT to my disappointment..... she said "nope! There's the head right there, Baby is still breech." dang.

So, unless the baby flips on his own, which is very unlikely, but not impossible, OR if I go into labor in the next 2 1/2 weeks, which again is very unlikely, but not impossible...The date of the c-section has been finalized. It will be November 16th at Madison Memorial Hospital, performed by Dr. Allred.
