blogger trouble

Oh there have been so many blogger troubles...

First, trouble with pictures and the layouts and where I wanted pictures, in what order, and if I wanted the words on top or on bottom (because it is now impossible for me to post words-then a pic-then more words, etc.). The enter button doesn't even seem to work correctly.

I couldn't get the "publish post" button to work. After being frustrated for quite some time, I finally googled my issue and found a weird, but simple, solution. I must click "SAVE" then go to the homepage to "edit posts", click on the "edit" box, then "publish selected" at the bottom of the page. It's a roundabout way to get the job done. So there you are, if you are having the same problems as I am with blogger!

So :::sigh::: I'm finally back. But hopefully not for too long b/c Noah will be here SOON! :) I can't even think about what you need updated on! While in Indiana, we had a very nice baby shower and maternity pics done around Thanksgiving. Did I even get to post about this? I don't know because I'm really that far behind!

Then we made our way back to Jackson and had our 3rd and final baby shower hosted by the Lovell family. We've been to Dr.s appointments, work, work Christmas parties, friends' Christmas parties, etc. etc. etc. You know how December is! Busy, but a fun month. We've had a few snow showers, which are unusual for this time of year in Jackson...But no worries, the temp is back up into the upper 50s for Christmas.

Michael bought a used Toyota Sequoia from his boss, so his Volvo is empty and spit-shined with a price tag on it to sell. The Sequoia will allow more room for our growing family...not to mention that my husband is happy to have an SUV as opposed to a car again.

The nursery is completed and I will be posting pics soon... Michael is contemplating buying a 5 foot tall stuffed giraffe from his hospital's gift shop. :-D It makes me giddy when I think of him doing "Daddy things" and going into the gift shop on his break with his son in mind.

He touches my belly and asks about Noah every day. Although lately I've been more of a frightening encounter than a loving wife/mommy. I have constant heartburn, am never comfortable, constantly sore, tired, and verrrrrrry irritable. My moodiness is out of control and even I wish I could get away from myself sometimes. So that's when I just take another nap, because that way no one has to hear from me and I don't have to hear from me! HAHA (I laugh, but it's totally true.)

Our pets are ready for Christmas...they even got smaller versions of our monogrammed stockings. Our Christmas is a little different this year due to Michael's work schedule. We are planning on having our Christmas in Jackson on Friday night. On Christmas Eve, Michael will be working a 24h shift and getting home on Christmas morning. On Christmas morning we plan to drive to Nashville to see his dad, open gifts with the family, and head back to Jackson mid-day. I'm a little BAH-HUMBUG this year! Next year will be "the bomb.com" though---I'm looking forward to the many Christmas traditions with our little crew. (Riley, who is lying next to my feet as I type, concurs.)

Now I need to get off of here and pick up the house. I'm forever in fear of going into labor and having empty McD's cups and dirty clothes lying around the house. I'm also in fear of going into labor in my current state: A mess of a human being in a XXL Native American shirt, pants from the 8th grade, and unshaven legs. Maybe I should solve this problem?? Or maybe I should think about writing some baby shower thank yous.... Or better yet, maybe I should reclaim my spot on the couch and eat another spoonful of rainbow chip icing. :)

One more thought...WHY ARE ALL OF MY LITTLE PARAGRAPHS RUNNING TOGETHER?! It isn't allowing me to put spaces between them, even though they appear on my draft. If you have a better solution for blogger or a better website to use, PLEASE SHARE! :)
