My bags are packed, I'm ready to go...

Except that my bags aren't packed yet because I fell asleep last night before I could get that done! Brad and I are heading to Atlanta this afternoon to watch the Tide kick some Virginia booty! He's so excited! And I'm all decked out in my Alabama gear today!

The Pasak girls...April, Mom, Me and Kim! (My hair is flat and I look a hot mess in this picture! Sorry!)

And here are some old pictures of Brad and I during football season throughout the years!

This picture was taken in Arkansas, maybe in 2006? When we got to Arkansas, a tornado had just blown through and our hotel was damaged and had no power! So luckily we found another hotel down the interstate that had a room!

This was in 2002 or 2003 I think.

A-Day game in 2007.

Last year in Atlanta.

Bella's first time to get to go tailgating!

2007...I've definitely put on a few baby pounds after looking at this picture!!

Have a safe and happy Labor Day weekend everybody! ROOOOOLLLLLLLLLL TIDE!

Gender Ultrasound Update

So....I'm going crazy. I'm about to POP with anxiety to know what this baby is! My original appointment was at 9am on the 25th. I called my doctor's office and told a liiiiittle white lie (bad Allison, I know) and said that I needed to reschedule my appointment because my husband wouldn't be able to make my original one. Hee hee. I said, "Do you have anything like....the week before??" Sneaky sneaky! So my appointment has been reschuduled to....the freakin day before. 3:30pm on the 24th. Not much of an improvement, but it's a few hours shaved off, right?

Then I have a friend that went up to Virginia College in Birmingham to have an ultrasound done. The techs in training will perform an ultrasound on your for FREE. But...they only perform them during the day on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Birmingham is an hour away from where we live, so that's out.

THEN my very very lovely hair dresser, Rissie, has a friend that works somewhere that performs ultrasounds (a radiology clinic maybe?) so she's going to try her best to get my an appointment soon!

So I'll update as soon as I find out more information!

Our child has bad hair

I went to one of those "What your baby will look like" websites where you submit a picture of yourself and your spouse and it morphs them together to show you what your child will look like...and here she(?) is...



Cute kid, but what's up with that hair??!?! And Brad has dark brown eyes and mine are green sooo....I have no idea where the blue eyes came from! Interesting...

16 weeks

This week I've been feeling great! I'm finally used to being pregnant. I have a lot more energy than I usually had. AND I decided to steal this little weekly survey from Erin...

How far along? 16 weeks!

Total weight gain/loss: I'm up 3 lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight

Maternity clothes? Almost exclusively...I can still wear a few of my old shirts.

Sleep: I slept pretty good this past week. I'm still trying to get into a really good sleeping position.

Best moment this week: Hearing the baby's heartbeat at the doctor!

Movement: Sometimes I think I might feel it....

Food cravings: Anything sour, especially fruit and candy.

Gender: We still think boy, but maaaaybe girl.

Labor Signs: Nope

Belly button in or out? In, but definitely stretching it's limits.

What I miss: Two words...Red Bull

What I am looking forward to: Taking baby to his/her very first Alabama football game next weekend!

Weekly Wisdom: If you want to touch the belly, touch it. Do not scratch at it like it's a dog.

Milestones: I finally sorted through alllll my donated/borrowed maternity clothes this weekend! I don't think I'm going to have to buy ANYTHING!

Cause I'm super cool, that's why.

Boy or Girl?

I stole this from Erin's blog. I've highlighted all the items that apply to me....so let's see!

It's a boy if:
You didn't experience morning sickness in early pregnancy
Your baby's heart rate is less than 140 beats per minute
You are carrying the extra weight out front
Your belly looks like a basketball
Your areolas have darkened considerably
You are carrying low
You are craving salty or sour foods
You are craving protein -- meats and cheese
Your feet are colder than they were before pregnancy
The hair on your legs has grown faster during pregnancy
Your hands are very dry
Your pillow faces north when you sleep
Dad-to-be is gaining weight, right along with you
Pregnancy has you looking better than ever
Your urine is bright yellow in color
Your nose is spreading
You hang your wedding ring over your belly and it moves in circles
You are having headaches
You add your age at the time of conception and the number for the month you conceived and the sum is an even number

It's a girl if:
You had morning sickness early in pregnancy
Your baby's heart rate is at least 140 beats per minute
You are carrying the weight in your hips and rear
Your left breast is larger than your right breast
Your hair develops red highlights
You are carrying high
Your belly looks like a watermelon
You are craving sweets
You are craving fruit
You crave orange juice
You don't look quite as good as normal during pregnancy
You are moodier than usual during pregnancy
Your face breaks out more than usual
You refuse to eat the heel of a loaf of bread
Your breasts have really blossomed!
Your pillow faces south when you sleep
Your urine is a dull yellow color
You hang your wedding ring over your belly and it moves from side to side
You add your age at the time of conception and the number for the month you conceived and the sum is an odd number

What the crap, right? That's what I said!! April said, "I told you so!" I still think it's a boy, but we'll see in a few short weeks!

My involuntary donation

If you live in Alabama, particularly in Tuscaloosa, I'm sure you've seen the pretty new state trooper motorcylces around town.



They've been patroling Tuscaloosa like ants at a picnic lately. Well, this morning as Brad was on his way to work he called to warn me about the 2-3 state troopers on the highway. "You better not get a ticket!!" he says. If you don't already know, I'm a notoriously fast driver. I always speed and always have...and have never gotten a ticket before! I think you know where this is going...

So...guess what you never want to see through your back windshield?



That's right. A pretty little state trooper on his pretty new little state trooper motorcyle. I tried my best to be cute and innocent yall. I even stuck my belly out and rubbed on it so he would see that I was pregnant. Who would give a cute, innocent, pregnant lady a ticket?? Especially when I've never had one before! THAT LITTLE PRICK-THAT'S WHO!!! He clocked me going 74mph in a 55mph zone-which honestly is just stupid because it was the interstate and there wasn't even any construction going on!! UHH!!

So you know what? When the state trooper's office calls my house asking for a donation, I'm going to tell them that I've already contributed $162 to the new motorcycle fund and they can SHOVE IT!
