Merry Christmas, Happy Birthday and everything in between...

So I have been way slackin when it comes to blogging, and everything else for that matter! I hope all of you had a fabulous Christmas. We sure did. On Christmas Eve we went to my parents had dinner and Santa came to see us. Now this is no ordinary Santa, he has been coming to the house every year since I can remember.He is 'my' Santa. I walked in and he looked at me and said- Wow what have you been doing prego? I just looked at him and asked- if that is what you are referring to then do you want me to say Scott?
On Christmas day, we did the whole both family thing. It was such a good day
.Anyway, this picture pretty much describes how I am feeling- LARGE!! While we are on the subject, why do people think it is ok to say rude things to pregnant people? Let me tell you about this stupid lady. She use to be a client of mine, she was one I would have to mentally prepare for. Anyway, I saw her the day after Thanksgiving shopping. I was headed back to the bathroom(which I do quite often) and there she was- unavoidable. So I was talking to her- and she looked at my belly and said- Wow, are you pregnant? I was like- nah, I have just gained weight in my mid-section, they can't figure it out!! Yes, I am pregnant. She said to me- I didn't think you were gonna have kids... what? Why would you say that?? Even if I 'wasn't' I obviously am now!!She then asked when I was due- I told her and her mouth dropped. She said- OMG are you having twins? You are HUGE! that was the point when I wanted to tell her how ugly her hair was and walk away. But I didn't... too bad. Moral of the story, pregnant people know they are getting large, they feel it and see it everywhere. We don't need to be reminded in such a stupid way.. Sorry for the rambling. Going on... Me and Scotty with Santa


I had a picture of Scotty sitting on his lap, but it just disappeared. I don't know what I pushed!!
And now this is for Melissa...
THE BABY'S ROOM!!







I am so glad that it is all done. It was alot of work getting everything made, but it's done!! Now I am just so excited to have her and get her home.
I have been in alot of pain lately. Back pain and contractions, the whole thing. Nothing is comfortable anymore. Sorry this might be an overshare, but, I feel like someone kicks me in the crotch everyday, my insides are going to fall out, and I waddle really bad!! Other than that I am feeling Awesome!!! I have about 4 weeks left. That seems like a really long time.. I honestly don't think I will go that long. But who knows? i'll leave her in there to bake as long as I can--(unless she is 10 lbs or over like the doc has threatened)
Sorry for the long post- but last but not least it is my mom's 50th birthday today!!
We had a way fun surprise party for her. She said she had no idea until on Christmas day, my stupid cousin went up to her and said- Happy 50th Marc, I just got the invite I was just puttin in my RSVP! I was gonna kill him- it said SURPRISE all over the invite- Did he not see that?? I was so upset. Oh well it was still a hit.
I just wanted to tell my mama how much I love her. She is the best mom ever. She has taught me so much in my life. I hope I will be half the mother she has been to me. She is so fun, loving, hilarious and everything else good in this world. We have some great pics of the party that I will have to get from Chel. If you are still reading- Thanks- you get extra stars in heaven!!?!!

I can't beleive how cute the room is!! I'm also very impressed, that it is soo ready allready!

Sharli said...

I love the baby's room!! Are you still thinking Scotland? I love it! You are so cute Shawni! Anybody that has been pregnant can emphathize with you! I know exactly how you feel! Keep us updated on your baby progress I am excited for you!

The Walkers said...

Your babies room is adorable! I know the feeling of being uncomfortable! It will be over before you know it!

Megan said...

I am LOVING on that room. Seriously. I might be stealing the whole color scheme and idea...you know, one day when I can paint.

I hear ya on the rude people when pregnant. When I was prego with Anna I managed a Curves, so I worked everyday with middle aged women. They ALWAYS had something to say. I am sure Chelsie could tell you a few good stories. If not those than what a mean old lady said to my sister the other day about how big she was. Most of these people have been pregnant before - shouldn't they know what they should and shouldn't say?!

Stephanie said...

The room looks so so cute! I want you to come decorate a room for me. Not for my baby but for me :) I'm not looking forward to those last few weeks of being in constant pain. I hope you have her early too!

Kari said...

Shawni, your babie's room is amazing! It's the cutest thing I've ever seen! Where did you come up with the colors and decor? Love it!

Pyper said...

Thanks for updated us on you life friend. Its soo fun to here you talk about what you are goin through with all of the fun pregnancy stuff. You really do have a glow about you and i'm so happy and excited for you guys.

THat is terrible that your cousin screwed up the surprise! WHich cousin was it??

Oh and you should've slapped that stupid lady that said those things to you- You could just blame it on the crazy hormones.
The baby's room is darling- The colors really do look so original and cute together. I really would love to come see it in person though.

Lori said...

Could it be, a post from Shawni? Love the room scheme, very cute. Now you just have to wait and wait and wait! And you have a name, very cute! Keep us posted with progress, you know we all check in. Tausha said the same thing about "her santa" - what is up with you two? And who is the cousin who told Marci Happy Birthday - the nerve? Glad you guys had a good Christmas and "surprise" party!

Pyper said...

Hey friend- Give me a call when you have a sec- I just need to know what dates will work best for your shower :)

Dave & Shauna said...

Oh good I'm glad that Pyper wants to have a shower. Pyp let me know if you need any help. I'm so excited to get together with you and for you to have your baby! Yeah what are you thinking name wise?? I love the room as well it's adorable. Well if I don't see you before, good luck and I love you.

Clint and Sheri said...

Your room is adorable! So different. Love it. Thank you for your "over share" It's good to hear someone else felt that kick in the crotch too! It felt like I was getting a little shock or something, I hated it. Can't wait to see pics of your baby girl. Hope all goes well good luck!

Chelsie said...

oh shawni lyn i think you're fabulous and you've heard all my comments before, but here goes. i heart her room, i think it's so stinkin cute and i love the wall color, i might steal it in the future. i'm sorry you're feeling so ready to be done....i wish i could take some of the pain away...i would offer to bring you some brownies and hot fudge, but i think you already have some if i'm not mistaken. :-) i'm sorry about the lame people...and i agree...they should not be allowed to speak...i wanted to smack people when they would say stuff like that to me...i did yell at a lady once..haha, ok well not yell, but did tell her it was not ok to say that kind of stuff...have fun at your festivus tomorrow, love ya dear

Shawni-
I jut want to apologize since I know who you are talking about! I love you and it is to bad that in order to make others feel good about themselves and their ugly hair they have to say something rude. I love you and hope you won't hate me forever for the people who associate with me! You are beautiful so don't even give it another thought. Mean people suck!

Lori said...

Okay, I was just admiring your room again - where did you find that bookcase? I need something like that! And, please don't tell me D.I.
