I was at a stop light, they were at another one and as they passed they honked their horn a few times. Here's the sad part. Its been a while since this has happened so when I got to where I was going I got out of my car and walked around it multiple times looking at it intensely trying to find out what was wrong with it. I thought maybe I had a flat tire, left something on the top of my car, maybe shut something in the door so it was dragging. After deciding nothing was wrong I thought "well what the heck was wrong with them? I was scared half to death!" It then hit me that they maybe thought I was cute ( I was without kids after all :)) Am I really that out of touch with flirting these days that if a man honks his horn at me my first reaction is "Oh crap whats wrong!?" I will admit it did give me a little skip in my step all the way threw target. At least I didn't embarrass myself like I did once in college by assuming someone was flirting. I was checking out a movie at blockbuster and the guy checking me out asked for my phone number I then looked at him..poor poor boy...and said "Oh im so sorry im just not giving my phone number out right now" to which he said "um its not for me its for our system" whoops.....Lexi Wallishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06713901398641687098noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550712327622352098.post-57790533589188497112013-05-08T12:06:00.002-07:002013-05-08T12:06:32.566-07:00The One Where My Costco Membership Expired<br />
I love Costco. So much so that when I die an idea for my tombstone might be something like<br />

I think it all started when I was little. Santa Barbara got its first Costco and it was a BIG deal. I remember going with my mom making sure to be really close by her side as we walked in because I felt <strike>still feel</strike> like they wouldn't let me in if I wasn't clearly with a cardholder. It felt so VIP. Then there were the samples... like h'ordeuvres at an exclusive party. I had no shame as a kid trying all the samples that didn't contain meat. Now I at least try and pretend I'm interested in the product. "How many grams of fiber did you say?" "So these seaweed chips are located just over there? (just out of your sight so you think I'm going to pick them up when really I'm not) Great!" Fast forward to college. I got my very own card. It may or may not have been more exciting then my drivers license. I was the coolest roommate. Big confidence builder. Later when we found out we were moving to Toledo I probably waited all but a good minute to google "Costco, Toledo, Please" Thank goodness they had one. Its a good one too. Sometimes Zoë and I go and two hours later walk out with just bananas. I would buy more but I probably went a day or two before. Fast forward even farther to last Monday. Which I now refer to as black Monday. Just a typical Monday at Costco, had a grocery cart filled with bulky goodness about to check out when we scan our card and it says membership expired. My heart sank. My face felt slapped.</div>

was getting her shots, but it looked similar to this<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> I thought we had more time....You see, Milwaukee....doesn't have a Costco. I thought there was one for a second. I asked our realtor if they had a Costco to which she replied "yes we do!" me = relief "its about 45 minutes away" me = your fired. And before you tell me to see if they have a Sams Club. I refuse. I'm sure its great and no offense if you go there. Its a loyalty thing. Like Backstreet Boys vs. N*sync (obviously N*sync rules) So we knew we would just ride our current membership out and then let it expire. But I wasn't ready. If I had known the last time would be the last time. I would have done another lap, I would have savored every sample, I would have pumped my tank a little fuller and bought 2 of everything. I maybe even would have let the old ladies touch my girls chubby cheeks. Whats the point of this post? Love your Costco. Hold it a little tighter. Because you never know when the last time will be the last time.*</span></td></tr>

<br />
Hello Blog World (aka family and probably only mom)<br />
It has been a long time since I have blogged so to update you...Zoë is not potty-trained...not even a little and oh yeah I had another little baby named Quinn Betty. The birth story is a pretty normal one. I decided to be induced a few days early which I felt a little weird about at first because I really wasn't induced for any reason other then plain old convenience. I wanted my Dr. whom I am slightly in love with, I wanted to plan for my mom to come and help, I wanted a plan for Zoë, and I wanted Brad to deliver her which he totally did like a rockstar and we needed to be with my Dr. for that to happen. My Dr. felt like I would be totally good and it really was only a few days early so we decided to go ahead and schedule it. It felt weird to schedule it. "I'll meet you for lunch at 12, go to the store at 2 and then have a baby at 4." like its no big deal to schedule having a human come into this world forever. Long story short, I was in labor for 8 hours..watched a lot of property brothers, ate a lot of popsicles (so basically a typical tuesday) I did have a crazy nurse though... she was a little older and kind of backwoodsy (thank you Toledo) just to give you an idea of what I was working with here, she told us all about her sex life after having kids..Barf.. and she pinched my naked bum. Yes you read that right. And the worst part of it was I was so helpless. I was deep into my epidural at this point and was being moved from side to side to help the baby move down. One of the times she was moving me my gown opened in the back exposing my bum and she said "oh look at you no stretch marks..so not fair I'm going to pinch you!" and she did. And I could not move or do anything to stop it. It was weird. And violating. And I wanted to say "um please don't pinch me" but I have this thing about being nice. Once I was getting ready to push Brad suited up and we waited for them to check me...when she came to check to see if I was ready to push Quinn was already coming; Diva waits for no one. So 3 minutes later we had our little Quinny and we were instantly in love and obsessed. The recovery was much better the second time around and I wasn't afraid of bothering the nurses with basically anything. When I had Zoë I would have rather bled out then push the call button.. I'm not even sure why I guess I felt like they would be annoyed because they were in the middle of something. But this time, Oops my charger fell and I cant reach it, nurse...Oh no! Im all out of ice, nurse...I am 5 minutes away from my next allowed dose of pain meds and I want to make sure 2 seconds dont go by without them in my system, nurse. They probably hated me but I always complimented their hair and shoes and that has to count for something right? I also thought of making those thank you bags you see all over pinterest for the nurses but then I was 9 months pregnant and thought "who the h-e-double hockey stick are these women?" They were great though, the hospital was great, Brad was great and Quinn is amazing!<br />
Here are a few snapshots of the day<br />

100th post! which probably would be impressive if it wasn't over a 5 year span. Oh well I feel good about it! It has been a fun couple of days lately...i have been attempting to potty train Z. I put her on the potty almost every morning (on and off) while we read books since she was like 11 months old and she would usually go no problem... The main reason I did this was to not really train her but just make the potty a normal part of life for when we did want to train. Of course as of late going on the normal potty is scary so we got a little froggy one that she loves to sit on...day one was yesterday and basically we didn't have a lot going on this week and it was super crummy out so i decided we would at least give it a full throttle go...she had thee accidents....and just when i was about to give up she said "Potty" and went over to her potty, sat down and actually went! So we're continuing...although im not sure whats going on b/c its almost noon and nothing....and she's been bare bummed so trust me i would know if she had gone....anyway I know this is a very exciting 100th post. Hopefully you'll see a post from me saying YAY! We are diaper free!! (at least for a few more weeks) but its ok if we dont do it...it was a little ambitious of me to try and get my 25 month old potty trained while a few days shy of 9 months in pregnancy.</div>

SO obviously its been a long time and no I'm not going to say its a new years resolution to blog more because it isn't...looking at my e-mail more is my resolution (baby steps) But I feel like it is good to have a little journal going to remember all the things going on in my life. Also I feel like sine I am so far away from my family and most of my friends excluding the ones I have made here it probably would be nice for them to keep updated on our crazy wild and super exciting life (maybe I'm exaggerating) As to what we have been up to lately..just a whole lot of organizing and taking it easy due to my body shutting down (I feel like im 98 years old these days) I am so excited for this baby to come so I can feel simi human again...and so i can start loving this child. We are also anxiously awaiting march for the baby and also because of match day!! It is so crazy how the next five years will just be sitting in a little envelop for Brad to open on March 15. Wish us luck! Here are a few pictures of life lately</h4>

It was my idea. We needed to cut back on a few expenses, but lets be honest I wasted way to much time on that boob tube. When in social gatherings, it was borderline embarrassing how much I knew about every show, and every celebrity (thank you E news) Also I watched way to much teen mom. I hate that show. And yet, I would watch it. And I would feel angry at Brad after watching it for some reason. ( teen mom is only one of the stupid shows out there, i just choose to use it as my example) Anyways I cancelled cable. Now we have more money, I waste less time, and Brad no longer gets called my baby daddy. I should add we have netflix and hulu plus streamable threw our T.V so if your thinking I must be an advid reader by now your wrong. I have been on chapter two of Graceling for over a month. </div><div><br /></div><div>Two:</div><div>I cut my hands three times in two days, and not by doing hair. Once was on the stove while scrubbing it, another was on a freshly opened can lid, and the other was from a knife in the dishwasher. All three require band-aids so my hands look like something out of a Tim Burton movie. Whoever said homemaking is an easy gig is on something. I have scars to prove it. Mostly burns and cuts from cooking but its no walk in the park. The third time I cut my hand I left the sponge on the stove and just walked away. Im currently looking for a new job that isnt so dangerous. Maybe a Navy Seal.</div><div><br /></div><div>Three:</div><div>I am off of sugar. Its going well. Notice the word well. Not good, not great, not terrible, but well. I have a sweet tooth that (sorry honey) definitely grew after meeting my husband. Also nursing didn't help. I decided to cut sugar and all other artificial sweeteners out of my diet for 28 days and hopefully after that I will just enjoy it on special occasions, not for things like "I am planning on working out today so I can have a cookie for breakfast" A friend of mine introduced me to a website called chocoloatecoveredkatie.com and that has been a life saver. It is all natural sugar free desserts. I made the German chocolate date balls and they were good! Anyways Brad is at the the hospital until tomorrow morning so I am alone for the night (dont tell the murders and the sex traffickers) and these things were on my mind...random but C'est La Vie</div></div>Lexi Wallishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06713901398641687098noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550712327622352098.post-18359449314847463842012-02-15T11:05:00.000-08:002012-02-15T11:05:37.507-08:00TMB Announcement!!!<iframe width="480" height="270" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/alKWA6dvbTs?fs=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><div><br /></div><div>Cant wait to watch this season...also isn't my sister a total babe?</div>Lexi Wallishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06713901398641687098noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550712327622352098.post-42543542255379157622012-02-08T17:26:00.000-08:002012-02-08T17:54:52.224-08:00Wish List<div style="text-align: center;">Since I can't just go to Sephora and </div><div style="text-align: center;">drop it like it's hot</div><div style="text-align: center;"> I am going to make a wish list of sorts to remind me of </div><div style="text-align: center;">why it would be nice to have money:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P230200&categoryId=B70">This</a> is the most amazing lip gloss I hear... It supposedly plumps your lips up, goes on clear then reacts with your personal skin chemistry to turn your lips into your own custom shade of pink ( deep breath) plus I hear it really does.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P104006&categoryId=B70">This</a> is my favorite thing. If my house was on fire and I only had two seconds to put on some make up to greet the handsome firemen it would be blush and bronzer(especially this stuff) Some people love their mascara some people lipstick...I have NO color in my face therefore I need my duo.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Need <a href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P9889&categoryId=B70">it</a>, want it, love it.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I love <a href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P280525&categoryId=C17780&shouldPaginate=true">this</a> stuff!

It was... how do you say... Not good. Which got me thinking.... I am so sick of bad movies. They have like a what 50 million plus dollar budget, lots of crew members, months and months of writing, editing, acting etc and...thats what you send out to the world? I'm not just singling out I am number four. There are plenty of dumb movies out there. I saw some of Jar Head on tv the other day ( technically I'm not even sure if I'm aloud to not like movies about war because I do love my country, and Jake Gyllenhall but come on) I could list some more but my brain is busy trying to forget I am number four. I should add that if you liked I am number four please do not take offensive from this post...even though I like to think of myself educated and at times "with it" I also like to entertain myself with such choice programs such as The Bachlorette, Teen Mom and although I try to resist Jerseylicious, so don't feel too bad.</div><div>
<br /></div><div> I would like to add that I saw The Help last week and that was excellent.

I've done alright but not as good as I want. It all started when I got Zoo Zoo's mattress. I researched and found s couple fo coupons for it and I took it from full prince 150 and after the coupons purchased it for around 46! I just remember when the clerk scanned the total down I seriously felt such a rush. After that I really just wanted to get into it. So last night I watched a couponing show that I cant think of the name right now on TLC and it like electrified me. They were getting things for free! Its not even a money thing (although who doesn't love saving money) It's a game. How much can I save and how much can I get. But I still don't really GET IT!!! Its frustrating because I know theres a crazy coupon lady inside of me just waiting to be released. I can just see my self with a binder full of savings a fanny pack with emergency back up coupons, a camel-back water back pack and a calculator watch. I just need to figure it out how to get those amazing check outs. So if anyone has some knowledge in this area, please help a crazy out!Lexi Wallishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06713901398641687098noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550712327622352098.post-45508961645925444992011-03-22T06:41:00.000-07:002011-03-23T07:05:54.390-07:00Little Update!<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV6pjt41_Rt8z8sozgGUyaMtuBKz0gpDmfUIcVAdSVMwG8h3fWnXsz9YhyphenhyphenDDaDy-_YtOQZbM95cUcGkyOjzeqpL2NpuqPy5J5VL7sIAq3t8pNEDqya4waifYkxu011Fui7H7YH5xI41kU/s1600/IMG_0055.JPG"></a><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6xcd9Bv-9sok-nyCEMQgjwUqYKr1y8TTXeBYuLK37UIiFf0uaBy28gLzhxWgjKdGDFgZMdXOO76YsOfcgIOm8DsUku0T86TuSWeZqt1rKZWat0fuHRffouLEZ0QXmbaIJ4L1S-gWPiAg/s1600/IMG_0044.JPG"></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEighVPV0ueVzRG6Ah8mOIxmXUZ7ejDB1iXXE5xCWYR6y-v92aMv6PalSvk8Jnrzg7Ja_jSCtE46JvB04j2qW_ZvLguVKN73LJCdpSTj1Ll-piZczNe5EcbDL5wZIQ8ZeYr39HSnnKuk5Ew/s1600/zoedress.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 285px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEighVPV0ueVzRG6Ah8mOIxmXUZ7ejDB1iXXE5xCWYR6y-v92aMv6PalSvk8Jnrzg7Ja_jSCtE46JvB04j2qW_ZvLguVKN73LJCdpSTj1Ll-piZczNe5EcbDL5wZIQ8ZeYr39HSnnKuk5Ew/s400/zoedress.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587272610708760482" /></a><br />We went to Mexico earlier this month for a fun family vacation with Brads side. It was during his spring break from school so it was much much needed. It was my first time traveling with <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Zoë</span> so naturally I was very nervous but she did awesome! I don't know what it was about that place but that girl could sleep!! She loves her sleep here but he like really loved it there! It makes me a little less nervous to travel with her when I go to California next month...by my self... It was so nice to spend some time with Brad's family who I love! It was beautiful there and it was so nice to be back in the ocean again. I've been away from it for so long that I forget how much I really just love the beach. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Zoë</span> not so much....we tried to put her little <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">feets</span> in the water and she lost it...oh well. We also had a fun day of jet skiing and snorkeling. That was fun. It was also my first time leaving <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Zoë</span> for more then a little bit. Luckily my mother-in-law was willing to watch her and she slept most the time. I missed her though. Speaking of my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">lovie</span> she was blessed while we were in Mexico! It was so amazing! Brad has a lot of brothers and a brother in law so it was so fun to see her encircled by all of them as Brad blessed her. He did such an amazing job. She is so lucky to have him as her father. She did really good for most of the blessing but cried a little in the end. She looked so beautiful! I jut couldn't believe that I was the one with the baby getting blessed. Here are s few pictures of our time there it was truly a trip for the books!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6xcd9Bv-9sok-nyCEMQgjwUqYKr1y8TTXeBYuLK37UIiFf0uaBy28gLzhxWgjKdGDFgZMdXOO76YsOfcgIOm8DsUku0T86TuSWeZqt1rKZWat0fuHRffouLEZ0QXmbaIJ4L1S-gWPiAg/s1600/IMG_0044.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6xcd9Bv-9sok-nyCEMQgjwUqYKr1y8TTXeBYuLK37UIiFf0uaBy28gLzhxWgjKdGDFgZMdXOO76YsOfcgIOm8DsUku0T86TuSWeZqt1rKZWat0fuHRffouLEZ0QXmbaIJ4L1S-gWPiAg/s400/IMG_0044.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587275804366921746" style="display: block;

Be careful and not turn away the small still voice; it will teach [you what] to do and where to go; it will yield the fruits of the kingdom. Tell the brethren to keep their hearts open to conviction so that when the Holy Ghost comes to them, their hearts will be ready to receive it. They can tell the Spirit of the Lord from all other spirits. It will whisper peace and joy to their souls, and it will take malice, hatred, envying, strife, and all evil from their hearts; and their whole desire will be to do good, bring forth righteousness, and build up the kingdom of God.

The top pictures are sweet Z baby this morning when she was just happy as a lark....so young....so innocent...so trusting...she had no idea what was headed her way. As you can see in the pictures on the bottom (which could basically be part of a rated R horror flick) she was not happy, and slightly out of it on the car ride home. She has been sleeping the rest of the day so I think she'll survive...I don't know if i can say the same about me...I think I'll be fighting off nightmares of elephant sized needles breaking my perfect little baby's perfect little chubby perfect thigh skin. The only good part was when I was able to pick Zoseph up from the torture table and cuddle her until she calmed down, which she did shortly thereafter. In that moment I realized, <i>I</i> am the one that comforts her. She calms down while being in <i>my</i> arms. <i>I</i> can do that better then anyone. I really felt like a mom for the first time. Now, I might not be able to program electronics, reach anything over 5'6", bake a perfect pie or get through a book over 200 pages; but I <i>can</i> comfort my baby and I'd rather be a pro at that then anything else*. Boy o boy, do I love my little jelly bean.<div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">*maybe with the exception of being a pro at making money....but it would have to be mucho mucho bucks, like Oprah Winfrey dough.</span><br /><div><div><br /></div></div></div>Lexi Wallishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06713901398641687098noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550712327622352098.post-37839368106454927152011-02-26T14:32:00.000-08:002011-02-26T14:44:14.027-08:00I need to have a word with you, Self Control....You Suck.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I'm planning my lesson for church tomorrow and I had a little hankering for something sweet....Well the problem is I got rid of anything sweet once Zoë turned 6 weeks and I started working out.

I have now gone back into the pantry for my 4th "this is the last" handful of chocolate chips. I was about to throw the whole darn bag away, but what a waste....

I had a lot of fun putting together Zoë's room and still have a bit of work to do. I thought I should share some pictures of it so if you ever happen to be wondering "I wonder what Lexi is doing right now?" at 3 in the morning you can now have a better visual. Because that is what I am doing. Sitting in that chair. Feeding my hungary hungary hippo. And playing on my i-pod to pass the time. (It's ok to call her a hippo because she's a baby right?) <div><br /></div><div>First off the crib.....can someone please explain to me why it is so difficult to find baby bedding that isnt covered in cartoon butterflys and the word princess or diva all over it? Luckily I found this bedding on target.com and it worked perfectly for our shabby chic theme. I wanted something feminie but not too over the top. I think it turned out nicely and feels very calming to me even at 3-6 in the AM.</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline;

She has already changed so much and although its exciting to see all the advancements and changes I can't help but think slow down little lady! I feel like I want to take time every month and write down some things about Zoë so that I wont forget each and every cute stage. <div><br /></div><div>At one month old, Zoë is: 9lbs 6oz. She is in the 75% for height and weight (go baby go!) and she is in the 25% for her teeny head. This I thought was weird because she seems to have a big head to me but nevertheless I am grateful for that teeny head for obvious reasons. Zoë love to snuggle. She will instantly be calm just by being held especially when her head is by your heart or neck. She is the cutest at stretching I'll try and get a picture of it someday but she sticks her little bum out and balls up her fists and makes the cutest little pursed lips. She is great at smiling only shes camera shy because the smile is quick to leave once we have the camera out. She also just started to smile while she nurses, which is cute and weird. She loves looking at her Dad. Which sort of bugs her Mom because he always wins in a "look at me competition. I think its the beard, she finds it fascinating. She also loves it when he burps her. She is almost out of newborn sizes :(. She has slept threw the night a few times but mostly only wakes up once in the middle and then again around 7 in the morning. She just started making these pretty weird grunting noises which is totally contradictory to her constantly crossed ankles. Shes not a huge fan of being swaddled and she sometime sleeps with her eyes a little bit open....She loves dancing with mom and also when mom sings to her, (ironically not nursery songs but pop songs that I will change the words to such as the always good oddly superfly: Come to me baby, come come to me baby, your my sweetie pie, sugar, Zoë. Unfortunately I've got a million of these) She loves her thumb. She hates it when she falls asleep while mom is rocking her and then mom sneezes and wakes her up even though mom really really tries to hold it. She loves to skype with her family and can't wait to meet all of them. She hates being naked, as soon as you take off her closes she acts as if she just jumped out of a plane, arms and legs sprawled. Zoë is such a sweet baby. We have yet to hear her really really cry, she does however make the cutest little pouty face ever that just breaks our hearts. she is so sweet and we love her very much. Zoë, thank you for choosing our family to come to. I am so proud to be your mama. Oh and I should mention, your Dad is pretty much obsessed with you. </div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggwsAVSCE1EyDsZnjteBwOeV5y02-sZAFlRK8Dx5Vkp24WLNBxAe-3NxIRaxHP7PJkZQyvWhV1TYTI2ON87niUYuyWDwfDO_TrqCqYSHscPkwazgWui2EA1k5D-QdtedQG8ZReNDbKX4g/s1600/IMG_7639.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggwsAVSCE1EyDsZnjteBwOeV5y02-sZAFlRK8Dx5Vkp24WLNBxAe-3NxIRaxHP7PJkZQyvWhV1TYTI2ON87niUYuyWDwfDO_TrqCqYSHscPkwazgWui2EA1k5D-QdtedQG8ZReNDbKX4g/s320/IMG_7639.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568837525677300226" style="display: block;

It happened rather recently actually. Dec. 31 2010 at 3:16 pm to be exact. We named her Zoë. She's now apart of the ever exclusive Lexi and Brad club, which is just really impossible to break into but with a face like that we couldn't resist.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here's how it happened:</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>It was April, and I was in love. His name was Bradley Wallis. He was as handsome as they come. Ironically he loved me back and sometimes when two people are in love and they are married they hug each other real tight and.....wait...sorry maybe thats going back too far. Let's just fast forward to 40 weeks later and get to the really interesting stuff. My mom was in town in anticipation of the babes' approaching arrival. Unfortunately at my appointment two days before my due date they seemed rather positive I would need to start picking the date of my induction because the baby was more then likely going to come well after my due date. I cried. I was big. I was tired. I wanted my baby without waiting and inducing. But we tried to make the best of it and that day took some maternity pictures:</div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_j0lD3CcUaKa1spEniCrPQhBlUlQcmfC1ER_470GGwXvX-4qWSgNyBGFWjgwpEHdzxgrZ_rOOf2-15NVAZE3LCJ8R8T2f3SNUKCluoOSsxgJsQ5dzcGw_eiDpHJDV20qgGNKxBRppygM/s320/IMG_7268.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563272068090142834" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBhC7691C4nAXgoBUJys3VhFMZlnr2llzYF9iiVsPW0Cmrto74jpELNGKAIZEEFfU5nQvenkqVVdlr8cvVU10sydf6EPl3xHMxED3u1i6Tc1Np33xBtObXe2swdwa_IszoQWj57dDJqgc/s320/IMG_7265.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563272061988527842" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDUdcgie20Q1igZODfjEjc-V9bASXqJhg9gPuaUj3kcPb2RQfQOI9gdx6DG8bXzIx4HKHWZ2a3BMzjYktmkw_nIXTtBQAIoopKrc1R6_n4218PlhuObUkkSDG8fetqQpV6cQ2EcGj1iZs/s320/IMG_7244.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563272053420307026" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3uiiE43mHoqgFWALFT4qTg6GPj4M6MAUbx7iS5W9500JXAYnCf-GdYq9vgcqdURpRUuNxhpb_OR6yWtW0k2VZbTBym3p-r5QJ8f4mnefKva2AIVfQCJ5dLXkcfm3YXByJUkgWwG5wrWs/s320/IMG_7206.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563272051732011218" />So that took up some of our time and I'm really glad we got that in. That was on Tuesday. On Thursday we started out running errands and we even went to lunch. I split a veggie burger and bottomless fries with my madre (a highly recommended last meal) and had been experiencing random contractions all threw out the day. Around 7:30 I was in a lot of pain. I tried taking a shower hoping the hot water would help but no dice. We started timing my contractions and they were about 5 minutes apart. Brad said "Lexi, I think we should go to the hospital right now" I responded "Why yes dear, I think we should go too, I dont want to stress you out because my contractions are getting closer and closer" Well thats a lie. Thats what Brad wishes I would have said. In fact I said " Are you crazy? I just took a shower and my hair is naturally frizzy, curly, and if you think im having a baby and taking pictures looking like the long lost sister of Doc from Back to the Future you've got another thing coming" I am not proud of this, but i have no regrets. As I continued to do my hair by contractions became 3 minutes apart (its very frizzy) so I decided to put Brad out of his misery and go. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiql3VOrk5DAfjLe7jBImOdsGbGMlzJ04R4A2nt5ifRF_Hjtgux7-mYB-F3kAswWQsU2l69Gug5EJ9ef6IXcMYGssQaw9d6Fkqu8RxRKdLqQKY6OxXbs52-guIZ58UzUWhQ7hvP2xspMWI/s320/IMG_7293.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563291331147494290" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px; " /></span>Once at the hospital we were put in the triage room to make sure i was in fact in labor. I guess they dont trust you anymore when you tell them you feel like your insides are being ripped to shreds by a hungry rabee infested bull dog. Really they just didnt have a room for me. New Year party at the hospital!

What happened 10 minutes after I got into my room you ask? My water broke! Now that was crazy! The contractions got much much worse after that but luckily the man of the hour Dr. Feel Good as I like to call him came and did just that. Made me feel good. Or at least stop feeling, which works for me! I just want to take a second to say, I love epidurals. To each her own but for me it was awesome. I tried talking Brad into doing anesthesiology just so I can be around them more. </div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUn4LiJiufy89Or75Fe1CBtW0oyEXk2-gNRRZjkqM4j25Duw6Lx7sKrOLe_flJjfWGfM0QbOBfrp1bq7Uk413bYyIYASfbF_gKWMb0yqux1nZeIAdOu8q0ljm0oT0bcA6grAhwdGuS8es/s320/IMG_7317.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563291322380876514" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px; " /></span><div>Anyways...After that everything seemed like a breeze until i started feeling contractions on my left side and absolutely nothing on my right ( they think my needle had moved and thats why) dont worry Dr. Feel Good you still can do no wrong in my eyes. So instead of having him come back and fix it they told me to push and 45 minutes later we were listening to the cutest little cry I've ever heard. Zoë Jo Wallis was here. Our lives are forever changed. They are better. We are a little family now. And we couldn't be happier. Well once breast feeding stops hurting, then I couldn't be happier. Thanks for reading all that. To award you here are some pictures of our little lovie, Zoë and other random pictures from the hospital.</div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1refvUydEHd1bYe7KRO3bUJcNGNEub4CPw5q4689RuSKY4CM0jk2X0xcrT2qM5baUt8tbR_KHmBFRZz67R5JKr2_04UDoiWhGQnMqK_HIKRKypOI5fw3w8lyPwMH5l15QfIgITEPmoC4/s1600/IMG_0131.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1refvUydEHd1bYe7KRO3bUJcNGNEub4CPw5q4689RuSKY4CM0jk2X0xcrT2qM5baUt8tbR_KHmBFRZz67R5JKr2_04UDoiWhGQnMqK_HIKRKypOI5fw3w8lyPwMH5l15QfIgITEPmoC4/s320/IMG_0131.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563578191151775346" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 239px; height: 320px; " /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSnqIh77J0J1GPB0O1Ug7eNHwOfCZOp-8_eRX93YkT8o2vEvRhUbTPsw-e1cj5QeM1jHo0hB351JZBHkWyW6pk0-FgUgHZvxeisY4nySN4cBP63WrOuv22qPBQlZfxi7gwLeoJrXax8w0/s1600/IMG_0141.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSnqIh77J0J1GPB0O1Ug7eNHwOfCZOp-8_eRX93YkT8o2vEvRhUbTPsw-e1cj5QeM1jHo0hB351JZBHkWyW6pk0-FgUgHZvxeisY4nySN4cBP63WrOuv22qPBQlZfxi7gwLeoJrXax8w0/s320/IMG_0141.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563578187689691186" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 239px; height: 320px; " /></a>Texting out way too many pictures of Z baby and not looking too happy about getting my picture taken.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9wuc0uwanFWsf-CdDJ-gA2P0sVf-JRNw8Pv22-0VMNLXia7YOqTZan5lDrDhE_APtFsBTH-F5awA1q0_tZKHdP81tE24kXxbrI1mDS0cZB578sBSBa8F0pyAJaukouNWaMvapsduIbpk/s1600/IMG_7397.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9wuc0uwanFWsf-CdDJ-gA2P0sVf-JRNw8Pv22-0VMNLXia7YOqTZan5lDrDhE_APtFsBTH-F5awA1q0_tZKHdP81tE24kXxbrI1mDS0cZB578sBSBa8F0pyAJaukouNWaMvapsduIbpk/s320/IMG_7397.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563578185027035074" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px; " /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4vTFkLOQhM6usQrSJcvJLN1QzyEryU-T1SZSPNkI1mkwEQ-Shgn_ou9hN8hKyMswU71I0hFSNQAuCU0EsheDvCRRKjbDfqXxZDyv6PBXuDMAPUeKEJpbDwLA4UCcuLJz_GP5Pjk-imTA/s1600/IMG_0151.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4vTFkLOQhM6usQrSJcvJLN1QzyEryU-T1SZSPNkI1mkwEQ-Shgn_ou9hN8hKyMswU71I0hFSNQAuCU0EsheDvCRRKjbDfqXxZDyv6PBXuDMAPUeKEJpbDwLA4UCcuLJz_GP5Pjk-imTA/s320/IMG_0151.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563578173725338818" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 239px; height: 320px; " /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidzbfIAgvgRoyidw8Uv1LDdyYR2lLNrEEedDDmRaAPnTc68DFS2AJKwN1Po2IS_5GXQHlGMdMvDTJGgRF7UiZrQ3M9lspbjDx_JIMkWxunhB1by_0yENNDUeZtPLzyAPMi8hwaCeMWmF8/s1600/IMG_0162.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidzbfIAgvgRoyidw8Uv1LDdyYR2lLNrEEedDDmRaAPnTc68DFS2AJKwN1Po2IS_5GXQHlGMdMvDTJGgRF7UiZrQ3M9lspbjDx_JIMkWxunhB1by_0yENNDUeZtPLzyAPMi8hwaCeMWmF8/s320/IMG_0162.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563577400952987234" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 239px; height: 320px; " /></a><div style="text-align: center;">The End.</div><div style="text-align: center; "><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiql3VOrk5DAfjLe7jBImOdsGbGMlzJ04R4A2nt5ifRF_Hjtgux7-mYB-F3kAswWQsU2l69Gug5EJ9ef6IXcMYGssQaw9d6Fkqu8RxRKdLqQKY6OxXbs52-guIZ58UzUWhQ7hvP2xspMWI/s1600/IMG_7293.jpg"></a><div style="text-align: center; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: center; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: center; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: center; ">PS: Zoë's getting some pictures done today so much more to come.</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUn4LiJiufy89Or75Fe1CBtW0oyEXk2-gNRRZjkqM4j25Duw6Lx7sKrOLe_flJjfWGfM0QbOBfrp1bq7Uk413bYyIYASfbF_gKWMb0yqux1nZeIAdOu8q0ljm0oT0bcA6grAhwdGuS8es/s1600/IMG_7317.JPG"></a></div><div><br /></div>Lexi Wallishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06713901398641687098noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550712327622352098.post-91048544808806900372010-12-14T19:47:00.000-08:002010-12-14T20:16:08.540-08:00I need to know something...<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Has anyone really listened to the song "take you there" by Sean Kingston?
