31 weeks pregnant...The countdown is on!



So here it is, i am now 31 weeks pregnant, so im almost there. I like being pregnant for the most part. I enjoy every little hiccup, jab and kick. But what i don't like is when im trying to get a descent nights sleep and my legs cramp up and to go along with it my husband kirk and our dog buster are two of the worlds biggest bed hogs, every night they seem to get me pushed up against the wall and believe me that is not comfortable at all. As each week goes by and I get closer to my due date I seem to get more nervous and anxious. I think im more nervous of the whole labor and delivery part, if you get my drift. I kinda know what to expect, thanks to my sister, always having me in the delivery room with her when she had her children, but i know that doesn't prepare someone a hundred percent. Hopefully kirk won't pass out or any thing like that. But I can't wait to meet my little Aiden, I already love my little boy so much. I honestly think that between Kirk and I we should be some of the best parents!!! Also we have been working on Aidens room! Its bright green, it will be a jungle theme, we have been doing it surely but slowly, this past week we got the crib put together, also have a bunch of little accesories from Michelle and Dustin, my brother-in-law and sister-in-law.

Oktoberfest


Oktoberfest ended on Sunday so we decided to head up on Saturday, which was super crowed because of a German holiday which is similar to our Thanksgiving. For a pregnant women the scenario pretty much sucks, we went with our friend german Lidia. Ever since i found out we would be coming to Germany i wanted to go, therefore, i was excited. But when we got there i found it to be a little too crowed for a 7 months pregnant woman with an expanding belly that gets in the way of everything. There was a lot of rollercosters, some which you would never see in the states. But I did get to go on one ride which was super slow but ultra scary, it was haunted and i was screaming so hard i almost peed my pants, which has to do with having a weak bladder. To my suprise there was a never ending supply of drunk dumb people who were past out in the streets because they could'nt handle their beer and ambulances coming to their aid. But for the most part it was fun. Kirk bought me this big ginger bread heart shaped cookie to wear around my neck, It said " Ich Liebe Dich" which means i love you in german, it was so stylish every one had one or two, some times more. You would never think finding a beer at Oktoberfest would be such a difficult task, but it was the hardest time finding Kirk a beer, we were there for three hours and he only had one. All the Germans wore the traditional German clothing which was pretty cool. On the way home we stopped at a German KFC, which tasted nothing like the one back home, it didn't taste too bad just not the same, i don't think i will eat KFC again while i am over here.
