Annoying? I don't think so....

My dear husband has been so busy lately I sometimes wonder to myself if he just plans to purposefully be gone 24/7 because I tend to get on his nerves when he is around. What can I say, I get excited to actually spend time with the dude that I follow him around like a puppy dog! 
I bring this up because I just read a blog of a woman which I believe we could share tactics on how to drive our husbands CRAZY! I do believe I do a great job and he definitely tells me and calls me a punk almost on a daily basis haha, but sadly those times have dwindled down to almost nothing which means... I need to step up my A game because I am pretty sure he truly misses it. Like this one time he told me tickling is the WORST kind of torture and then a couple months later I asked him what he would miss if something happened to me and in that list was tickling... hmmmm a little suspicious don't you think? He and my sisters bash me almost every Sunday dinner saying how annoying I am and that I just need to leave them alone, don't they know any better it just makes me want to bother them even more? 
 While in Wisconsin my LLC *Long Lost Cousin* Kendall and his wife Kaytee were in the car with us and Amanda asked Kaytee what are some of the annoying things Kendall does. Mind you people that Kendall is almost my twin in this way and we are pranksters and love love love you know messing with people, we truly were meant to be related! Well Kaytee said it drives her crazy when she is yawning and Kendall sticks his finger in her mouth, People that is one of my signature moves!!!! I do it almost any time he yawns but he has turned into a feisty little guy and is now biting my finger... that stinker! 
I often wonder if he was around more if I would like to bother him as much as I do. I'm almost positive I would because I lived with my sisters for you know 20+ years and it still doesn't get old with them. With Amanda I still sometimes go in her room and if she is watching tv I turn it off and tuck her into bed and hide her remote, she loves it, she told me herself that she misses it sometimes. With Brandi all you have to do is grace her foot with your hand and she flips out like a crazy person, I may have taught Shelbie and Carston this!
I love the bonding time I get with these individuals and how they "Put Up" with my annoying habits as they would call them. Really the only reason I like to do it is because they laugh hysterically while I do these things and it brings me true happiness knowing I have made them laugh that day. So here is to you people of my life, thank you for putting up with my awesomeness!

Dear Baby Shumway 1

To My Little Girl,
I just wanted to document these last couple weeks we have together, just you and me. When people ask me how I like pregnancy I can't help but be honest and tell them that I don't like it. It hasn't been the easiest thing for me to adjust to that is for sure. Just to name a few; gaining weight that I don't want to, crying all the time to dad, having trouble rolling out and getting into bed because I just had to have a tall bed, peoples opinions on if I have gained to much weight or not enough and the list goes on and on. BUT I have come to realize that every time I feel movement I smile and it brings me happiness.I like to think I know you already and that you like to play jokes like me. I like to think you are crazy active like your dad. I can't help but think you are the cutest girl around town... well besides your cousin. I get excited to see all the cute little clothes you will be rocking in no time. I think you have helped me get over my need for 8 hours of sleep because I definitely only get about 4 to 5 a night now but somehow I manage with a good attitude. Even though this has been a crazy hard time for me I know I already love the result! I told dad the other day that I want to tell you that you are no longer welcome in my belly and you need to come out, he didn't like that and didn't want you to feel unloved so he said Baby Leightyn we love you but you are more than welcome to come out! I guess he is a lot sweeter then me. 
We are finally starting on your room! I had a dream the other night that your crib was made out of cardboard and your dad told me I couldn't return it because "It would do", I woke up an emotional mess. Lets make note your crib is not made out of card board and pretty soon it will be put up and ready for you! 
Little Girl there are so many people excited to see you, especially your cousin Shelbie so lets stay in as long as needed but hopefully not to long, her heart would be crushed just as much as mine! Make note little girl that Shelbie loves you a ton already and wants to start teaching you the ropes right away so be prepared to start learning!
I sure love you a ton and am counting down the weeks until I get to share you with everyone! 6 weeks to go!!!
Love mom
