Matt & Me & Margaritas Make 3

Merry Christmas Bloggers! We had a fantastic holiday, and are getting into the swing of our week. As as you may be able to tell from the title, our biggest news over the holiday was that Matt and I will move on from a 7.5 years as a couple of two, and add a 3rd. We are having a baby Kajewski due July, 3rd, a little firecracker! We are very excited and I am absolutely terrified about taking this plunge. I have been backing out of the starting gate when it came to this baby business for almost a year now, well I said oh let's try one month, and hence I am now 13 weeks pregnant today! Thank god I never played Russian Roulette in HS or College, or god knows whose baby I would have right now! I really should stand outside High School's and Dorm's with Ben & Jerry's and tell these girls, "It only takes one time! Your mother and health teachers are not lying to you!" But I would probably be arrested for being creepy, instead of informative! Humor and Terror aside, I am excited.

Well Matt and I have kept the big news all to ourselves over the last couple months. I did tell my law school girlfriends, because I was dying to tell someone, and I told my UNI girlfriends a few days before my fam, but needless to say our parents, siblings, and Holstein friends were pleasantly surprised. When we found out we were having a baby, we decided that we wanted to use Christmas to our advantage to tell our families in a fun way. We draw names on both sides of our families', and Matt got Riley so we got him a "World's Greatest Uncle" t-shirt as part of his gift. We got baby Whitney a toy, and asked her to share it with her baby cousin. Everyone was extremely surprised and happy, as you can see in our videos!!





So here is the story of how I found out, like the Virgin Mary, that I was with child. No, an angel did not come to me in the night, but pretty close. I knew I was off a little so I took a test on a Monday, and nothing. No big deal, I moved on and figured my best friend would be here soon, I mean she always is! On Friday I was starting to think I was sick or something was wrong, there is no way I could be prego? I mean it was only one or two times then right? Well I took the test, went along getting ready for work, went back to look at it and it said "PREGNANT." Those digital things don't lie. I then walked around and muttered, "No Way, it can't be, this is a joke." Then as I drove to work, I began to hyperventilate and called my Bestie Renee (Ray), she talked me off the ledge and reminded me that I was married, and that this was totally normal, and this is what married people do. I came home from work and took another, and sure enough the god damn thing still said prego! I instantly thought, fuck how am I going to tell my parents. Then I remembered that though that was my fear for a decade, I had been with the same man for 7 years and married for two, so they would probably be pretty understanding about the whole thing.






Telling Matt was another thing, I didn't want to tell him while he was at work, how boring. So I sat on the couch with the evidence waiting to greet him and when he saw it he started running through the house, doing line drills, and saying what a man he was, and how strong he was. He finally stopped to see the look on my face and asked me if I was okay. I just said, "Yes, I am very excited, but I am fucking terrified. Do you know babies come out your VAGINA?!??!" He just said whatever, I am such a man. I can see how this supportive husband thing is going to go.

We went out to eat and celebrated, and I have slowly stopped freaking out. It comes upon me, and then I relax. But then I see something on TLC or Lifetime, and images of big, fat, sweaty beasts of women giving birth and I want to sit in the corner and rock back and forth. I have kept up my spin classes a few days a week, and walk and elliptical to stay fit. My morning sickness consisted of feeling extremely hungover, which sucks when you don't get to drink or have the after fun night giggles with your girlfriends. Lot of food aversions. Generally, I eat everything, but I have wanted a lot of fruit and cereal, and though I eat fruit a lot, I am eating it like a zoo animal. I also don't eat a lot of cereal, but I have been raiding the cereal aisle lately. But I think I can do it, and I am excited, but then I remember that children NEVER GO AWAY. So though I think I can commit to stuff, this is the biggest commitment EVER! I mean I call and bug my mom about stuff all the time, I mean she has to get annoyed,but I don't care because she is my mom. Well, shit, now I am going to be someone's mom and they are going to call and bug me with dumb shit, like mom how do I make mashed potatoes, mom what was that movie with Mary Tyler Moore where she loses a kid and is a mean mother to the other kid ( Ordinary People), mom why is my vagina burning from a yeast infection and does it mean I am dying... I mean, I need to brush up on a lot of stuff..

I was on the phone today with Meghann, and Lillian asked her if we were talking about the baby. Meghann told her the baby was fine, and went on to tell me what Lillian did that day. When Meghann went to pick up the kids from Sue's, she asked Lillian if she told Sue and Ray the big news she got over Christmas about Aunt Mo. Lillian and Sue started to talk about Aunt Mo having a baby, and Lillian said, "Mo is having a baby, but I don't know how I feel about this!" Meghann and I died laughing. We don't know if Lillian is afraid she will lose her reign or that Matt and I won't pay attention to her or love her anymore... So I better make sure and give Ms. Lillian a little extra love the next 6 months and keep her involved!

But, even with all my funny quips on all this we are so excited, happy, and feel blessed. So far, everything is good, and we pray we get to enjoy the rest of this pregnancy with as much ease as possible. Matt will be a great dad, and I will be sober most of the time, so we should be fine. We are not planning on finding out if it is a boy or a girl until the birth. Matt and I both want it to be a surprise. We figure you only get to go through this for the first time once, so let's go all out. I will be taking drugs, lots of them, and Matt will be apologizing for the things that come out of my mouth, but he is used to that. I guess this is what true love really is! So hang on bloggers, cause I have a feeling my blogs will be full of the ups/downs/ and get this the fuck over with's of pregnancy over the next 6 months! Hope you are all in.. below are pics from Christmas, Enjoy!!

Matt at the 2nd Annual Kajewski Classic


Kajewski Classic, Sidenote: We had the same teams as last year, but Jo was added to our team, and Jess to the other. Since I am prego and needed to stay away from the rough aspects of the game, i.e. Chris "the Tasmanian Devil" Kajewski, I stood in the same 3 foot spot to play offensive and defense. But as Mike pointed out, I still scored 8 points, had a couple assists, and a block, but best of all I made the winning shot. It is first team to 40, and it was 38/39 and I made the shot to put us at 41.. I am awesome!! Can't wait for the 3rd Annual Kajewski Classic!
