Patience...

I have PLENTY of patience. Granted, I use most of it on my husband so that we don't argue as much. Not that we argue a lot but the pregnancy hormones make me crazy and I have to take a breather and think about how I'm feeling and what I want to say before I say it just incase it's my hormones talking and not actually me. Bless his heart for not moving into the shed in the back yard just to get away from me.

Anyways, my whole point about this is people telling me that I need to be patient while waiting for Abigail and that she will come when she is ready. Umm, DURR??!?!?!? I know that. I'm just extremely excited to meet our little girl and I don't know what to do with myself so the time passes by. I don't want her to come earlier than when she's ready, I'm not stupid.

So annoyed. Please don't tell me I need to be patient. I'm fully aware that she will come when she is ready. I just can't control my excitement while waiting.

Disgusted

I had a post up a while ago about entering to win a free pair of Petrol Jeans from their give away on Facebook. First of all, Thank You to all who sent my name in :-) I really appreciate it. We should know next week who the winners are.

Secondly, why do people feel that they are owed things? Let me give you a little info on this give away. It started off by the company saying that anyone who received 20 or more nominations would win a free pair of jeans. I am unsure if it was stated in the beginning that they had to post the names under the Win A Pair! tab or not but that was part of the rules. They then changed the rules to only the first 1,000 people with 20 or more nominations would win a free pair.

People are actually getting angry with this company for this now. First of all, the company had a link right on the contest page with all of the rules listed. They had it listed that the company has the right to change the give away whenever and however they so choose. They also have all of the rules stated such as having to post the name under the Win A Pair tab and NOT on their wall.

So as far as I can see the only real issue SHOULD be that they are now only giving out 1,000 pair instead of an infinite amount. I mean can you blame them though? Yes, it was poor planning to not expect a lot of people to enter this contest, BUT they can't go out of business because of this either.

My problem is not with the company at all. I am still very thankful for even an opportunity to get something free, especially in this economy. What really bothers me are all of the comments people are leaving on this page because of the rule changes.

People are getting angry saying that they got their 20 nominations and they DESERVE the free pair of jeans. Or even worse, saying that they better win their pair of jeans. People are bad mouthing this company simply because they MIGHT not win a free pair of jeans.

It is really sad. It would be one thing if they had to pay to enter this contest and then later the rules were changed that not everyone would win. Then they at least have a little equity into it that they MIGHT lose. But to get angry about something that barely took any effort and will gives you a very good chance at winning something free is beyond me.

The worst part is that Petrol Jeans has made remarks back to all of these complaining people that if they have their 20 nominations, and they are posted in the right spot, that they will receive their jeans because they have no yet reached their 1,000 pairs yet. AND PEOPLE WERE STILL ARGUING ABOUT IT!!

I'm so disappointed in humanity sometimes. Please remember that none of us are owed anything. Everything we receive is a blessing and a gift.

For heavens sake, take your eyes off of Facebook and your mind off of a free pair of JEANS and avert your attention to what is happening in Egypt! People are dying. They actually have something to fight for and you're wasting your time acting like a child over jeans. Seriously, ashamed.

If you have no idea what I'm talking about in Egypt then I highly recommend doing a simple google search or turning on your television. It's devastating and is actually something that deserves attention.

Baby Update

I had my weekly appointment this afternoon.

Abigail is growing right on schedule. My doctor said that we will be scheduling my c section at my appointment next week! She wants to schedule it for my 39th week but I am going to try and push for my 38th week at most. I don't have a good feeling about Abigail being in there for too much longer.

I'm uncomfortable and in pain all the time and it worries me that the longer she stays in the same position all squished up that she is going to have something wrong with her.

If we are going to schedule a c section I would much rather it be scheduled at 38 weeks. Plus that would give Mr. Sykes just about 2 weeks with her. I would rather have her all ready to move home when he leaves then have her the week before he goes and still have to stay here longer.

Ugh. Even when her birth is planned it's stressful! Give me a break already!

Here is my 34 week photo for you guys. I decided not to wait until week 35 since there is still a chance of preterm labor and that means I could miss my opportunity to take one next week.

True Love

I was watching American Idol tonight and the last contestants story was heart breaking.

He has been with his girlfriend for 8 years and they were engaged for 2. Their wedding was 2 months away when she got into an accident. She now has severe brain damage and needs to be taken care of 24/7. She has to be in a wheel chair and needs everything done for her. I'm not sure if she can talk or not but it doesn't look like she can communicate very well if she can.

My first reaction was how amazing this guy was for standing by her through all of that. Then I realized I was thinking he was amazing because in the back of my head I was thinking how awful it is that the love of his life is like that and he has to take care of her forever.

I don't know if I had a blonde moment or what but how stupid of me to think that. Of course he is going to take care of her. He loves her.

I immediately put myself into the situation and without a doubt I would take care of my husband. No hesitation. He is my world and no matter what I'll always be by his side.

I think that is the true test of true love. If you can put yourself into a situation like that and know without a doubt that you would to anything for the person you love. Leaving would never be an option. Just thinking about it makes my heart break. I couldn't ever be without my husband.

So I turned on American Idol tonight to get a good laugh at all of the ridiculous people trying out. I ended up getting an amazing message and a wonderful reminder of how much I love my husband.

Revelation

I don't know how many people in the world have actually read the bible front to back, but I am not one of them. Until now. I have been wanting to read it for a while now I just haven't had the motivation to sit down and do it.

I started it yesterday and reading the story of Adam and Eve made me want to knock Eve upside the head. God cursed all women to have painful child births because of her actions. I knew there was a reason we were being punished.

Now I can't wait to get further along and eventually finish the bible. I feel like I've been missing so much by not reading it. I want to have a closer relationship with God and I know I can't do that unless I read the bible.

I kind of wish my bible wasn't of the smaller stature making the words super tiny. But I do love how adorable it is and easy to take with me! I just need to pull out the old reading glasses and stop pretending like I don't need them.

Anyways, now you know what I'll be doing the next couple of weeks. Reading, reading and more reading. When I finish one book I'll pick up another. Hopefully all my books can keep me occupied until this little girl decides to make her appearance!

Question

Me: "What are you up to?"
Mr. Sykes: "No more texts. You got me in trouble."

Has anyone ever gotten this text? Is it just me or would that completely urk you too?

How is it that I got HIM in trouble when HE is the one who keeps HIS phone turned on and in HIS breast pocket when HE shouldn't be texting?

I"m not physic. I don't know when and when he can't text.

Sometimes I feel like he's trying to push my buttons. He should have said "No more text. I got in trouble." How simple would that have been?

I hate my buttons being pushed. Then again I don't know anyone who does. I don't know why men can't ever just get it.

Ok, jokes over.

Seriously, pregnancy takes for everrrrrrr.

I don't think I normally have a patience problem but at this point I'm just done with being pregnant.

I have all my preparations done which is one less thing to keep me occupied. I seriously don't know what to do with myself. I've been reading to stay busy but I can't finish a book and start a new one in the same day. I need at least a day to rest my eye balls.

Yea, there is always television but I feel pathetic when I sit around watching tv all day. PLUS, there is hardly EVER anything on during the day worth watching.

I keep telling myself that she's worth the wait and everything you want is worth waiting for.

I Love You Abigail! I'm sooo anxious to meet you!
