I'm Not Erich Hagen...

Oh my goodness best sleeping conversation I have EVER gotten out of him!!! I kept asking questions and he kept responding! 

It started as most of these things start. I was in bed reading a lovely story recommended by a friend and...

Sleeping Russell says:

I'll get the bottom half and you get the top, that way it will be easier okay?
I ignored him at first thinking he would just go back to sleep but he repeated himself. 
"What?"  I finally asked, curious to see where this would go.
"I'll get the top you get the bottom." he repeated.
"Of what?"
"Of your car" he replied.
"What car?" I asked. I drive a big Ford Flex and it doesn't come apart, there are no halves or anything so how was this supposed to work?
"Your race car" He replied. .... Oooohhh.. that explains it....
"I don't have a race car" I said.
Yeah you do" He said. I was intrigued! I wonder what kind of race car I get to have in his dreams!
"I do?" I asked "What colour is it." I'm all about colour I was already imagining since it is his dream it must be a 240. I was hoping for pink and turquoise.
"Yellow and green" he said.
"Yellow and green?" I asked disappointed now realising he wasn't even dreaming about my race car.
"Uh huh" he confirmed
"So.... am I Erich Hagen?" I asked. He didn't hear me.
"Huh?" He questioned
"Do you think I'm Erich?!" I asked again.
"Uh Yeah!" he said as if I were the idiot.
"But I'm a girl!" I said as I began wondering if I have a man voice.
"Okay" he replied before rolling over and going back to sleep.

Sigh. I am so disappointed.

Better Late than Never, Adventures Involving Fisticuffs and Hair Ties in the Face.

Okay so I have a horrible cold and I am almost 6 months pregnant so I didn't really get this one all down. It is a few days late and I was in the middle of a really good book when it happened soooo... yeah... but it's here now!

So the other night as I was reading...

Russell had been asleep for nearly and hour. My back was to him and I hear him jerk up in the bed and he says "Put up your dukes!" Well I turn around and he is doing this.

Yup! He was ready to fight me right there in bed! I jerked back not sure if he was having a playful dream or what. He had bitten me in his sleep in my first pregnancy so I am a little wary of his sleeping shenanigans while pregnant now.

 I yelled at him, I do that in the hopes I will scare him awake and it will be over fast, "Stop that! Lay down and go back to sleep!"

He looked at me so sadly as if I had just crushed his hopes and dreams and said "But I was preparing to engage in fisticuffs."

"No, you are sleeping now lay down!" I replied and that was that, thank goodness! 

...Until about an hour later.

I have my back to him again still reading my book and all of a sudden he reaches across me and puts a hair tie in my face, so close I go cross eyed trying to see what the hell it is and he says almost accusingly "What is this!?" 

I was kind of angry at this point. I was trying to read and this was the second time he interrupted me! 

"I don't know!" I yell, "Go back to sleep!"

"What is it?" he asks again.

"Shut up and lay back down! Go to sleep!"

"I was asleep! Why did you wake me up!?" he yells back at me angrily

I was like what in the world!? "I didn't wake you up! You woke up and were sticking crap in my face and asking me what is was!?"

"No! You woke me up!" He yells again.

"Whatever Russell, I'm trying to read I did not wake you up! Shut up and go back to sleep!"

And he did. And I gave up trying to read and went to sleep myself.

Pregnancy in One Dress (20+1 weeks)

Failure again! There was soooo much going on last week that we never got around to my 20 week post and it is so important! For those of you who are mathtarded like I am, 20 weeks is the halfway mark! I am half way through this pregnancy! 

(Since this post is a week late, baby (at 21 weeks) weighs around 11oz, and is about the size of a large banana)

So much happened at 20 weeks too! It became undeniable that I was pregnant. No more of the is she fat bloated or pregnant business. I am totally pregnant!
I felt baby hiccups for the  first time. So did Lumps. He was laying in the bed with me his little hand on my belly feeling baby move and I said "I think baby has the hiccups!" He looked concerned and then said to me in a very serious voice "baby needs to drink water" he then grabbed my water bottle, handed it to me and said "here you drink this". I swear, this is the sweetest smartest 3 year old ever. Not only did he want to help baby get rid of the hiccups but he knows water will fix that and that baby eats what I eat (I think he got that one from the movie Ponyo) it only makes sense that I be the one to drink the water!

I had my 20wk ultrasound July 31st. I don't have my next appointment until the 13th so I don't know exactly how that went but the ultrasound tech didn't say or do anything to make me worried. Do you want to see!? This is my baby!

We had the tech write down the sex of the baby on a piece of paper and sent it to one of my best friends all the way back in NC where I'm from! So WE don't even know what we are having!!! 

She is a pretty awesome seamstress when it comes to baby clothes and best of all cloth diapers! She didn't want everything to end up gender neutral but still wanted to get it all to me before baby was here so once she is done, some things will be put in a special "do not open until 12/17" bag and I will get to ooh and aah over the rest of the cute baby things! I am super excited!

So what do you think!? Is it a boy or a girl!?
