Parker Lawrence Walworth is here!

a week past due and hoping the end is in sight....

Well, Parker's due date has come and gone and he still hasn't packed up and moved out. Not that he hasn't pulled a few false alarms on us in the past week. We have a doctor's appointment this morning and HOPEFULLY, the doctor can help us serve him an eviction notice. If we hear "Oh, I think you can go any day now" one more time I think I will scream. we have been told that for the past month! I know I know, I probably should cherish the quiet time and use it to relax. There is nothing relaxing about waiting for something while also being in early (and painful) labor for a week straight on and off. Plus, I can only go mall walking so many times without buying anything. let's cross our fingers that this is the LAST pregnancy complaint post and the next one is a happy announcement with lots of pictures! If not, hang in there. If I have to, you do too.

I WANT TO BE DONE!!!

Please bear with the pregnancy complaint blogs for now. I know I am not the first lady to be pregnant and miserable but it's all I can think about! Today I am running on a bit over two hours of sleep and I don't even have the joy of being kept up by a newborn. Nope, just my squished bladder, discomfort, swollen hands and feet and anxiety to blame for that! I am a lucky dame to have Josh though! he has been the picture of patience and I can't thank him enough. I am sure the next worse thing to being nine months pregnant is living with someone who is!

I had a great weekend though! Shauna, her husband, Trask and her son, Taylor came down on saturday and I was having such a good time I was distracted from all my complaints. I didn't realize having Taylor throw an apple wedge in my eye at subway would make me laugh so hard. Don't worry, I took his cookie back. but he did not care. I guess it would be worth it to me too.

I actually have some things I need to get done today so I better get crackin'. too-da-loo.

already I am slacking!

I've only had a blog for a few days and i have already sort of lagged behind in posting. Being 9 months pregnant is a good excuse for being lazy, right?

what does a typical day look like lately?

5:45 A.M.- get up and eat breakfast with josh

6:30 A.M.- subject josh to an episode of baby story on TLC. (who doesn't want to watch a birth when you are eating waffles?)

7:00 A.M.- joey and I situate ourselves and go back to sleep

10:00ish-   i get up and drag joey off the couch so he will eat his breakfast

10:00-? ANYTHING I FEEL LIKE

I'm gonna enjoy it while I can!

It only took a little bit of encouragement...

Well with some gentle nudging from my friend, shauna, I have opened an Etsy shop. my shop is called MarieLou and it is in it's infancy stage so far. So right now it keeps me up at night and i have no clue what I am doing. It doesn't poop though. Eventually, I will be adding more than just jewelry. my dream is that it will one day turn into a hodgepodge of fun stuff...Go check it out! The smart ass product descriptions are worth the trip alone. enjoy.

Come see the stuff I made when I was busy making stuff...

Every once in a while I use my hands for good, not evil. This weekend I went on a little crafting binge and whipped up a few baubles. I haven't attempted this type of craft in depth before and these are the result of my first good ol' college try. In the process of making these I almost poked my eye out and I got stuck on the floor at the coffee table (my temporary workspace until the desk gets delivered). I would love some criticism...good or bad. I can take it. I am a big girl. Both literally and figuratively.

sistah....

I got to enjoy a leisurely lunch with my sister, Christa today. It was nice to catch up on sister stuff and, since she is also one of my co-workers I also get the latest gossip from work...lot's of juicy stuff going down. Thanks sis'!

Let's get this motorboat in the water....

My name is Marie Barcellos. I am 25 years old.

I live with my WONDERFUL boyfriend of 3 years, Josh.

 We share our home with Our 2 year old dog, Joey and multiple cats that I am sure everyone will hear about later so I will not make any individual introductions quite yet.

Our house isn't quite complete though.... We are expecting a baby boy, Parker Lawrence Walworth in just a couple weeks (if not earlier)!

I started my maternity leave from my job as a preschool teacher about a week ago and I have to admit that it is really nice to be able to relax and do some things I enjoy before my life changes completely! I have always wanted to be a mom and I am extremely excited for parker's arrival.  At this point I am VERY done being pregnant and I just want to meet the munchkin that has been kicking me in the ribs!  I am not so sure about people who say they love being pregnant. I suspect they may have a few wires loose. or maybe it is me with the loose wires. 

well...there is my VERY short intro to my life. Don't worry, there is more to come.  I just thought I would hit the major "bullet points" today. I am off to tackle some dishes and a major headache!

midnight in the living room of good and evil....

well...it has been a few hours of turmoil (o.k. maybe an hour at most), but I have managed to start a blog.  I am bleary eyed and drained but my sense of accomplishment remains. Unfortunately, I am unable to post anything of substance due to exhaustion. Thanks to a recent surplus of free time more will come soon.... goodnight all!
