Road Rage and Pregnancy makes for an interesting mix

I have a serious road rage problem, I always have, and since being pregnant, it has gotten SIGNIFICANTLY worse. I have noticed for the past three days in a row now, no matter where I drive I get behind or around an IDIOT! Now, these people might actually be driving perfectly fine, b/c anyone who rides in my car is usually bracing for their life, putting thier feet down on the imaginary breaks in the passenger seat, or if it's Chris telling me to watch out for everything, and when to brake, and moving around all my trash that I acumulate in my car. Thankfully, he drives more often then me, and no one else seems to be followed or surrounded by psychotic drivers. Here are my problems with drivers on the road currently:
1. Just because you put your signal on to get over doesn't mean you have a free pass to get over whenever you feel like it!!! This guy (a missouri driver) put his signal on to get over, when i was right in the middle of his car length, and he just flies over into my lane, practically taking out my whole entire front end, then proceeds to drive AS SLOW AS POSSIBLE and if that weren't enough, sit in the right hand turn lane during a green arrow, and the red light, and the next green arrow. I am sure b/c i had the nerve to honk at him!
2. Stop signs do NOT equal Stop lights, i have to go through 3 four way stops on my way to and from work and at least twice a week I am stuck behind some crazy who i swear is waiting on a green light, and then when they realize they have missed about 20 turns to go, they step on the gas and almost kill everyone in the intersection b/c they went out of turn (what is this?)
3. Not driving the speed limit. This is something I seriously have NO PATIENCE for, why on earth would you drive any slower than the speed limit?!?! Especially in the left lane?! I like to drive about 10 over, and I have no clue why you wouldn't want to get somewhere as fast as you could. Again, this could just be me, because I am usually always late for absolutely everything.

Anyway,

This was my rant for the day. I am sure I will have much more after this weekend, me and Chris are moving into our new house!!! Yay!

49 Days Left....

The end is approaching and I couldn't be any more excited! I currently have a heel permanently lodged either in the dead center of the top of my belly (like right in my clevage, not joking in the slightest) or under my left rib. I think she is trying to break out and it is SOOO uncomfortable... and all I can think about is 49 days until I can taste a DIET COKE!!!
Chris thinks that after I am done being prego I won't even like the taste of Diet Coke anymore, but I am seriously dying for it, I mean it did use to be my number one source of hydration, not kidding even a little bit. No matter what time of day... Diet Coke was the first thing I would think of to drink, it is like my water.
Anyway, 49 days until the little bit comes and even though I CAN NOT wait to drink my Diet Coke, I am getting a lil worried about the whole labor thing, pain just really isn't my thing, and I am afraid I will turn into the exorcist and just be a raging animal for the whole thing :( But after all that nonsense, I can't wait to see my lil kiki (my sis really hates this nickname) but i love every nickname in that genre, I secretly still want to name her Rocsi (but everyone thinks it sounds like a stripper I think it sounds adorable.) I would also love to name her Zsa Zsa, Gigi (or a name that goes with GiGi) or the best of all Coco, but Chris is like an iron fist and will not allow it... at least i still get to call her Kiki.
We move into our new townhome this Saturday and I can't wait to get all the baby and wedding presents unwrapped. Seriously, I have been dying to use all the great new wedding gifts and they have just been boxed up in storage calling to me, I must be going through the nesting phase. I have already decorated everything I possibly can before we get settled, except painting the crib, which Chris vetoed, eventhough I think a white crib is waaaay cuter than a boring old oak wood one. He might change his mind once he sees all the baby furniture together. (keep your fingers crossed)
On the leopard front, I found leopard print infant sheets at USA BABY, which will be purchased IMMEDIATELY!!! I also FINALLY found leopard print baby bedding that is acceptable and I can't wait to get it!!! Also, I made a leopard print car seat cover trimmed with pink ribbon (it is the most adorable thing ever, I can't wait to show it off with her in it!)

More to come... after I finally get my life organized and moved into the new casa :)

Can't Wait!! The only nesting I have been able to do so far is clean my office.haha.

Pregnant = insomnia + bad clothes + cranky kati

So up until this week I was doing pretty great through out my pregnancy. I was never sick, never uncomfortable, smells didn't bother me, it was pretty much life the same as always minus the drinks and my body was expanding rapidly. This week, marks the turn to hell. I feel so huge, I can barely stand it, I can't sleep because I am hot NO MATTER WHAT. Seriously our bedroom is like 45 degrees and I still kick off the covers, and to top it all off maternity clothes just DO NOT cut it for me. I feel like I am shopping at Wal-Mart but paying GAP prices. Seriously, the clothes are hideous, why don't buyers get a clue and realize that when you have a ginormous baby belly you absolutely DO NOT want ruffles anywhere on your body! Nor do you want itchy wal-mart fabric pants or anything that makes you look like a grandma/infant at the same time. I officially hate all maternity stores.

I have resorted to only wearing dresses in regular size clothing, which is fine, but annoying that you can't buy a decent prego shirt ANYWHERE. To top this all off i have a serious case of insomnia, all i want to do is lay down and sleep next to my hubby, but I can't i get all fidgety and restless, then i keep him up... it is just not good. All in all, I am COUNTING down the days until lil Keirah can just get on out and cause me a different kind of insomnia and days of fashion woes. Currently I am cranky, hot, uncomfortable, and absolutely NOT looking forward to August.

That is all for now,

So one year later, I have found my "sole" mate and am expecting a lil diva in September....

So, almost a year later, and it seems like on my last post, I knew where my life was heading. The previous post was inspired by my husband!!! Who would've thought that last year when we reunited (on this exact day July 3rd) we would already be married and bringing a new little bundle of joy into this world?! Well obviously Chris was and still is just like my favorite pair of wedges, which I haven't been able to wear all summer due to swollen feet. Oh the sacrifices I am making :). Anyway, this has definitely been a whirl wind year, and I have been neglecting my stalkers for an entire year!! Well to catch you up a bit, Chris and I got back together around the fourth last year, then I left my glamourous KC life and headed to the sticks to move in with my one and only. We had a super cute bungalow in Manhattan that I absolutely adored. I had my own personal dressing room and sewing room, chris had his "office." And life was more than perfect! Chris proposed in December, and wanted to get married at the courthouse immediately, but I just kept thinking how much I really wanted that "white dress." Then, in January we found out I was prego, so we decided not to hold off on the wedding planning anymore. In Febuary I got offered the marketing manager position at my old office (where I used to be a lowly assistant) and me and Chris made another crazy move back to the city! YES! YES! YES! It's hard to believe how much you miss 'a city' not a little cowtown. We made it back to KC in March, we found out the baby was a little girl... and definitely a diva, in April. We had a small wedding ceremony in May which was a dream come true. Then at the end of May we held our wedding reception!!! Which was fabulous minus I couldn't enjoy all the wonderful sangria, champagne, and beer:( but C definitely enjoyed it for the both of us. Now we are just getting prepared for the little one in September. I can't wait, and don't you worry, I have picked out as much leopard and pink as possible! Just can't wait to meet her...

More next time...
