So I went to work Sunday, not looking forward to the night. I just did not want to work and I fekt uncomfortable and weird. About an hour in, I started having some serious pain. Turns out I started having contractions! I sat in steak and shake for an hour and a half having contractions...all about 15 minutes apart. They continued til about 2 am when I was finally able to fall asleep.
I got called into my doctors office Monday morning once they heard I experienced contractions during the night. Turns out Leilani has dropped into position, and I am getting close to ready. I am not dialated, but my cervix is thinned out and the next step is dialation...which is what happens due to the contractions. I can be experiencing these contractions for a week or more until she comes...in which I have - EVERYDAY! LoL I have had a few hours a day where I experience contractions, and they havent really been any closer than 14 min apart. So its going to be a long time. Unless she pushes her way out quicker LoL
So we shall see... 4 weeks to go!!!

Stay at home mommy
So I am so excited to announce I have a new stay-at-home job!!!!
It was a fantastic idea I had one night while thinking where my life will go.
Melissa, my amazing friend who shot the Baby Bump photos is restarting her photography business - new name and all! However, she has a full time job as a property manager and cant really quite get started. So I figured I could help! I will be marketing, answering emails, checking out inquires, updating the blog, and just jump starting the business so all Melissa will have to do is meet the clients, be amazing, and shoot the weddings. Im hoping that with more business, I will learn the editing and be able to help her there too.
I wasn't sure if she would be up for it. But she loved the idea as much as I did. I am super excited, because its something I feel I can make a nice little career out of! And I get to work with an amazing best friend. More so, I can do it any time day or night, and it can all be done from home! So no need to worry about what we will do once Leilani arrives. Another added bonus is the fact that Josh and I have been living off me working part time, so I can either do just this, or eventually go back to work and have a double income. Either way. I hope to make this my full time, one and only job that I can stick with.
Now im not sure if you can sense it, but I am so0o0o excited! Its a fantastic opportunity and I hope it works out well =)

siga siga
So I went to the pool today with Hilary. it was nice to see her, and have someone to hang out with at the pool. We talked about lots of different stuff - especially since some things happened in her life recently. But its got me thinking these days
- As Leilani soon arrives, I realize there are people I want in her life, and people I dont. And thats sad to me that it took my daughter to clear these toxic people out of my life. When I text you with a medical question I know you have an answer too and you dont text me back for days, and just ignore the question...Obviously your not someone I need around. I was scared and needed someone to talk to and was depending on you - and I saw tht Im not important enough to even get a response.
- I absolutly hate not having a car!!! I wish I had a car because I would probably see more of my friends. And Im just missing them, especially now before Leilani arrives. Because I know life will change when she comes, and I hope I can still see them. Now dont get me wrong, I am so excited for what life will bring with Leilanis arrival. And I know the change of my life will be for the better...but I hope I ahve my friends to enjoy it with. And I know I will, but a baby is just something that changes everything.
- I miss spending time with Hilary. She is busy, and Im just to tired these last few weeks. But ever since 2004 weve been friends, best friends; and we went through alot together. And we may have our good times, and we may have our bad times - but she is still my sister and I miss her!
- I miss being apart of the sorority I met Hils in - Phi Sigma Sigma. I wasted to much time trying to fix thing with my terrible mistake of a boyfriend that I missed out on so much fun with those girls. I miss so many of them, and wish I was still friends with them like I am hilary
Im currently watching True Life - Im in a Jealous relationship and it just reminds me of my relationship with that "big mistake". It makes me mad that I stuck with him, almost settled, and ruined my life at the time being with him. However, it gave me a prespective on life. It taught me what I do and do not want in a relationship...and it lead me to Josh. I cant believe how my life is now. I am happily married and about to have our child - which I didnt see happening at any point in my life. I honestly thought I would not find that person for me, and that I would probably end up settling. All the while, if I had not been so scared of mr mistake - I could have gotten up the nerve to talk to my sexy neighbor and I would have had Josh to save me from mr mistake! We would have been going on 5 years instead of 2. But either way, life still lead me to Josh and I am rediculiously happy.
Things are tough and Life keeps changing. Nothing is the same as it once was. But as much as I miss my friends, I do not miss my old life. I am happy with Josh, excited for Leilani and content with life.
6 weeks to go =)

Leilani means Blessing
Happy Independence Day!
Its almost over, but it was a fun day. We didnt have plans since Josh has to work tonight. But since we had hot dogs and hamburgers we decided to break in Joshs fathers day gift - his mini grill. Well I knew my mom didnt have plans so we called her and my dad, and ended up making a little party out of it. I made deviled eggs (for the first time) and a cake. And I cleaned up a bit. I was so excited to host a party. Josh went and got drinks and stuff and it turned into a fun experience. Josh was amazing on the grill too =)
Ive started to "nest" as the books call it. Im cooking and cleaning like crazy. So my sudden idea to host was no suprise to Josh. And he did everything possible to help me and make me happy. It was very nice. Plus he got to do his "manly" thing - grill and drink beer.
Mom, Dad and I had some interesting conversations. They all resulted in how lucky I am to have such a great family. As Nick and I grew up, we kinda grew apart. Not completely apart, but definatly different from how close we once were. Now as we start our familys, we have become closer. Nathan definatly brought together a gap that was once there. And now, Leilani will bring together all of us. And that includes my dad, who has always been somewhat distant from us. I believe Leilani is going to bring us all together and keep us very close. I see her looking at Nathan as a brother, and them being very close. And that will keep Nick, Lynore, Josh and I close. And that is something that will definatly please our parents and keep us all close as a family. Today, showed me of our holidays to come. I was told over and over how happy I look, and how any mention of Leilani makes Josh light up. She truely is our blessing, just like her name means. And I cant wait for her to be here and bless our lives
Happy fourth =)
