I hate the cliche that it all goes by in a blink of an eye, but its so true. I seriously feel like I was just pregnant with her! She's grown up so much though! She makes us so proud! She started walking at 10 months and has kept us on our toes ever since! Shes a total mommas girl... I really cant even leave the room without her melting down. Oddly enough though, she doesnt do too badly with babysitters. Shes an amazing sleeper! She knows that once shes put in her crib, that its sleep time, and she closes her eyes and goes right to sleep. Sweet girl! What an angel! Shes still nursing daily, but we are weaning. She never took a bottle and HATED formula. Now that shes super into big kid food, shes wanting me less and less. (*FREEDOMMMMMMMMMM*)<br />
<br />
I tend to go all out for the kids first birthdays. After that, they can plan their own parties (That means I'm off the hook for at least the next 4-5 years...hahahaha). So heres just a little peek at the pink, gold and roses theme I did for Harper!<br />
<br />
Heres the birthday girl getting ready for her party! I made the skirt with some cute fabrics and gold sparkle tulle!<br />

I think I kinda come on here for the theraputic act of typing and putting my thoughts into words. If I didnt get hand cramps from writing so much, that may actually work for my dusty journal too. <br />
<br />
so, whats new? Well, this is not news to anyone, but I'm due with baby number 2 in August! August 16th, to be exact, which is my baby sisters birthday, so its definitely not a bad day to come into this world. However, I kinda feel like he/she is going to join us around the 9th. I guess we'll see how close I am and how accurate a mothers intuition is (in the small scheme).<br />

Oh man, doesn't that face just kill you? Ugh, I swear I could just eat him up most days. Its getting to the point that I have to try not to laugh when he does something naughty. Its cute, but I know I cant encourage him. Boy is life gonna change for him! haha! <br />
He can say a few words, mama, dada, ball, all done, this, whats that..<i>.however</i>... most of the time he chooses not to. It is a rare day that I will hear him say anything that resembles a word, not to say he doesnt talk. oh man, this kid is going to be a motor mouth. Maybe he just enjoys our confused looks when he rattles off a bunch of gibberish for 5 minutes straight. lol<br />
Oh ya, so back to the topic, I'm 24 weeks, and I feel great.... now. The first 13 weeks were plain misery. I couldn't walk down the stairs and get near the kitchen without starting to dry heave. I'll tell you, it is not fun hating the thought of food for that long. But now things are good, I'm making up for lost time, and this baby must have a serious sweet tooth! In my gut, I feel <i>girl</i>, but we'll see. We're keeping it a suprise. I am starting to have moments where its driving me crazy, not knowing, but I only have 15-16 weeks left, so I can do it!<br />

The newest venture for me, is I am now part of the Jamberry nail wrap business! I always swore I'd never even give those things the time of day, but I guess when you love something enough, you cant help but get into it and want to make a little money from it. I'm doing well, and loving what I do, so its a good thing. Jamberry nail wraps are nail designs that adhere to your nail with heat, so it creates an air tight and water tight seal. They dont chip and last forever, so its really fun! And there are so many fun designs... I just love it! Some people have had bad experiences and think it doesnt work, I used to be one of them, but those people guaranteed missed a step, or are doing something wrong, like I was. Trust me, they really work!<br />

7 days later...<br />
<br />
I'm going to be very very very busy these next few months before the baby comes. I just got back from a trip to California to visit friends. Its tough cause I don't have a home to stay at so I have to go in spurts of time, and I can never see everyone that I want to see. =( but I'm always grateful for the good friends that I do get to see. Its always a wonderful reminder of what amazing friends I have been given in life. I truly have been lucky in that department.<br />

<br />While we were in California, Greyson got to ride on the Carousel for the first time ever... he LOVED it, and I cant wait to take him on another one!<br />
<br />
The end of May, we are going to the great land up north (Canada). It'll be my first time, and I'll finally get to see the farm that Rob grew up on! Greyson can visit with Grandma and Grandpa up there, and see various aunts, uncles, and cousins! I'm super excited! I'm even going to be all touristy and wear my Canada Jamberry nails! lol.<br />

And what you eat, usually gets cut in half cause you are the one to share with the little one(s). Sometimes you forget to eat breakfast/shower/pee cause someone else is a little more demanding than the need to eat/be clean/pee. The songs that get stuck in your head are songs from Sesame Street, baby einsteins, veggie tales, etc... and you don't even know who the latest popular artists are. Going somewhere after 8:00 is impossible because thats after/just before bedtime. And we are never, ever, ever, ever in any of the pictures, cause we are ALWAYS the one taking those pictures. That being said, I am extremely grateful to my friend Liz for taking pictures of me and Greyson! I so treasure these sweet pictures!<br />

Most of my favorite pictures that I would post on here, are usually posted on facebook first. Well, in case theres anyone new...<br />
The year is almost over. I am still trying to come to terms with the fact that it is 2013... so 2014 is kinda unimaginable for me at this point. This year, we bought a home, celebrated a first birthday, celebrated family weddings, cheered on first steps, and made lots of new friends!<br />
<br />
Now, some cute pictures of Greyson by a christmas tree(thanks molly for having such a cute tree!)<br />

<br /></div>
1. Don't worry so much about boys. Don't worry about if you're not dating, don't worry about if you are dating. Boys have nothing to do with your self worth, and in most cases will end up damaging your sense of it rather than lift it up. Nothing is more important than finding a quality boy, not quantity boys, and making good decisions when that quality boy does come around.<br />
<br />
2. Keep up your good grades. Apply to more than one college. It doesnt matter if its near or far, just give yourself options.<br />
<br />
3. Money comes and goes, and most often, it goes when you need it most. That part time job you have... save ALL your money from that to put towards college. Books are mighty expensive, and you don't want your only option to be a community college.<br />
<br />
4. If someone offers you a car, and its a stick shift, DO NOT turn it down simply because you don't know how to drive stick shift. You will learn anyway, and you will kick yourself for not taking a free convertible.<br />
<br />
5. Take a photography class. You love photography, you have a collection of the magazines, and you have a nice camera. Why in the world haven't you done it yet? Do it now while you have the free time.<br />
<br />
6. Keep spending time with all your friends from church. You will look back with the warmest of memories from those summers together. Those will be some of the best carefree days ever!<br />
<br />
7. Boys in uniform sure look nice, but don't fall for one. Seriously. That has heartbreak written all over it... more than once! Let me say it again. Boy in uniform. BAD.<br />
<br />
8. 4 years goes by fast. Remember that. Improving your mind is the most important thing you can do. You may not know what you want to do in life, and going to college for 4 years seems tedious and hard, but you have the brains for it, and you will survive it and not regret it.<br />
<br />
9. Grow up and stop acting so dang spoiled. Someday you'll have a boyfriend. Don't expect him to pay all the time. Pony up, and foot the bill every once in a while! Be more conscious of other peoples feelings. You have a lot going on in life, but that's no excuse. You are very blessed, take a step back and see that.<br />
<br />
10. Don't grow up. Stop wanting to be 25 and mature already. These are the days to smile and have fun. You live at home rent free, you don't have to work, you can see your friends and do pretty much whatever you want. Use your time wisely and have fun, because these days won't last. If spending 6 hours a day at school for part of the year, doing your homework, and following you mothers rules are the worst things you can complain about, then you have it made. Seriously, if only I could have it so good again! Enjoy being 16 and a teenager! And again, don't worry about the boys.<br />

Well, there you have it. Greyson is 8 months old now. Crap. Time is not slowing down at all. He is getting so grown up! He's well on his way to crawling, though he prefers to stand if you give him the choice. He'll look at the cat if you say cat or meow, and he throws out the word da da da da da like its candy. Once, he even looked me right in the eye and said "dada". Little brat was rubbing it in my face that he hasnt mastered the "M" sound yet. lol. I had my first mothers day, and I know every single mother said the same thing, but I am so so so grateful for this little creature that made me a mother. Its hard to believe and accept the fact that we are now responsible for someone so tiny who looks up to us. I remember being tiny, and thinking my parents knew everything and could do no wrong. Looking at it from their point of view, now that I'm in their place, they were just two humans, doing their best, making mistakes like any other human being might. </div>

Anyway, my point is, I love being a mama, and I love this little child of mine. When he sleeps, I just want to kiss those little lips, since hes starting to get fed up with kisses now. Seriously, stop growing up little boy! And now for the picture overload. Since I post so many pictures of Greyson, I realized I hardly have any of him and I together. So, heres a couple. The first one kinda looks like he's having a jolly good time, but I'll tell you a little secret. He was actually throwing a fit. lol. The second one was us getting a mothers day picture together just in the nick of time. He was obviously ready for bed, but I couldnt NOT document my first mothers day!</div>

Given the opportunity, I can charge into any situation with a "fake it till you make it" attitude. I could move across the country (and I have) and have to make all new friends without batting an eye. Start a new job? I'll wow them. Experiment in the kitchen? How bad could it be? Have children? I was born to be a mother. Have my mother move down the street from me.... well....yikes. haha. But then I look at myself from an outside point of view, and I have some pretty intense (and probably pretty irrational) fears. So here are 3 legitimate fears that I have, in no particular order.<br />
<br />
1) I fear the death of a beloved pet. When I was a child, when one of my pets died, s/he got a kings burial. I wore black for a week, and cried for days on end. My pets weren't just animals, they were some of my best friends. As I got older, I don't know if it was a conscious act or not, but we'd end up giving our pets away for one reason or another, before they died. My bird Tweety was given to my vocal coach. I think it was cause my cats kept trying to scare it to death. My dog Zodiac ended up living with my mom when I moved out, and she ended up giving it to a family on a farm when she had to move. My cat Zoey ran away in the middle of one of my moves. We have 2 cats now, and the thought of finding one of them lifeless terrifies me. I don't know how I'll be able to hold it together, and especially if Greyson is older, that's going to be especially important. And if anyone knows Rob, you know that our kitties are more family than pet...lol<br />

<br />
<br />
2) Sharks. Not just in deep ocean water, but mid calf ocean water, ankle deep water, lakes, backyard pools, and ANY body of water in the dark. If I cant touch the ground and I'm swimming, I hear Jaws music. I panic! I love to swim, but you won't catch me in a pool by myself, and snorkeling and especially scuba diving is out of the question. Totally irrational, and I know in my mind it is completely stupid, but there you go. <br />
<br />
3) Ghosts. I don't even want to talk about it. The rational part of my mind says that even if a spirit in this world existed, and hey, ya, they probably do, they can't hurt us, and probably aren't even aware of us. Then theres that dark part of my mind that pictures them watching from a corner of my house with evil eyes. Just imagining that anything is there and aware of me and may possibly have sinister thoughts, is terrifying. I have the eeby jeebies now. This is why I can't watch horror movies. Now I need to go watch some stupid sitcom to cleanse my mind of this so I can sleep. lol<br />
<br />
So theres a look into my jumbled mixed up head. 3 of my legitimate, though probably irrational fears.<br />

My baby boy is 4 months old and growing like a weed! It seems like every day he's learning or doing something new! Now he's about 4 1/2 months old actually, and the thing he does the most is stick his little tongue out and squeak/squeel. It is really quite adorable! He was pretty unbearable for about 4 days... crying constantly, very grumpy, low fever, wanting to nurse all the time, not sleeping very long at all... just being a general stinker butt. I think he was starting to teethe, and going through a growth spurt at the same time. Lucky for me, my happy easy going baby came back. I swear, for those 4 days, he hardly even smiled at me, I coulda swore he didnt like me anymore. =( But now, hes smiling and laughing again! I missed that so much!<br />

Greyson turned 3 months on January 18th! We don't have another doctor appointment until he's 4 months, so I don't know his stats, but here some new stuff about him!</div>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="text-align: center;">He's still exclusively breast fed. I can't believe I made it this long, considering the start we had!</span></li>
<li>He's still consistantly sleeping through the night!</li>
<li>He's discovered his hands, and thinks they taste mighty yummy! He'll even hold onto his toys if we put them in his hands.</li>
<li>He can laugh! Oh can that boy laugh. And then I laugh too. I can't help it! It's the sweetest sound in the world!</li>
<li>He got to meet his Auntie Seville, and he loves her so!</li>
<li>He got lots of quality time with Grandma this last month!</li>
</ul>
Which of his 3 month pictures are your favorite?<br />
<br />

This post is 20 random facts about myself.<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>I cannot do scary movies. Not even a little bit. I will have nightmares and have to sleep with the lights on, and do that awkward run and jump into bed so that nothing under the bed can attack me. And if by chance I do watch something a little scary, I have to watch a happy, funny movie after to dispel the feeling of terror and gloom. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtRUDLjGG7ZoZdoGEv2OIcUhyphenhyphentN2_nGR_Xorny8BgiJ2zwcNW3r1V7G56gx2treDx5_-Z5r4Thu_KMBDD8i37vVjlp2wpashz52xRkHUIrMfPrCW53sDkejsQx8tNrs1d9vnXWiiqKTK33/s1600/monster_under_bed.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="319" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtRUDLjGG7ZoZdoGEv2OIcUhyphenhyphentN2_nGR_Xorny8BgiJ2zwcNW3r1V7G56gx2treDx5_-Z5r4Thu_KMBDD8i37vVjlp2wpashz52xRkHUIrMfPrCW53sDkejsQx8tNrs1d9vnXWiiqKTK33/s320/monster_under_bed.jpg" width="320" /></a></li>
<li>I rescued a baby kitten when I was about 5 or 6 years old. I remember he didn't have a tail, and for days, we heard him meowing, but thought it was a crow cause he meowed kinda funny. We named him Crow.</li>
<li>My parents were baptized LDS (Mormons) when I was 4 years old. I remember my first Sunday school... I was scared to be in my own class, so I went to the older class to be with the one little girl I knew there.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiY5YxTL3zhyphenhyphen3K8aYh960w7Ba9fYhHxebchVv2eh6x9eWd9ZruxFa3Hz-UfepKyTGLjmQ2bKUJKvgw1xa5AZ8ByDpNVyEKiijS0gY3q3zucvNiJFJYoWrOhexlefQWHbPkn5osID3hFbTbj/s1600/IMAG0100.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiY5YxTL3zhyphenhyphen3K8aYh960w7Ba9fYhHxebchVv2eh6x9eWd9ZruxFa3Hz-UfepKyTGLjmQ2bKUJKvgw1xa5AZ8ByDpNVyEKiijS0gY3q3zucvNiJFJYoWrOhexlefQWHbPkn5osID3hFbTbj/s320/IMAG0100.JPG" width="320" /></a></li>
<li>Technically my first kiss was when I was 9 years old... The boy tried to kiss me, but I turned my head cause I was shy, and he got my ear. Then he ran away very fast. LOL! No one tried that again til I was 17. </li>
<li>My first real kiss was when I was 17. It was underwater. Cool, huh?</li>
<li>When I was a baby, our family dogs, two German Shepherds named Tico and Fancy, guarded my crib and wouldn't let anyone but my parents near me. They were my best friends til they died. I remember both of those days. I cried my eyes out.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtwDJX_6zcHs13rbTW4PoQY-MryPFAIFCfFmqT5-FrDgLzUv-To5IYJtXgHHRqvJw7FbBwUHkyGxuSJFxB2nNNCWt6oJPPn4hmB4YzaEdN4SdUj3Fy7FmByedaDaBb2wlECt05bJiW_Fs-/s1600/Pictures+119.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtwDJX_6zcHs13rbTW4PoQY-MryPFAIFCfFmqT5-FrDgLzUv-To5IYJtXgHHRqvJw7FbBwUHkyGxuSJFxB2nNNCWt6oJPPn4hmB4YzaEdN4SdUj3Fy7FmByedaDaBb2wlECt05bJiW_Fs-/s320/Pictures+119.jpg" width="320" /></a></li>
<li>Not much made me cry harder than when an animal died. I remember sobbing for days whenever a pet died. I also remember watching The Never Ending Story, and when the horse sunk in the mud, I asked if he died. My mom said horses cant breath under the mud, so what did I think. I cried uncontrollably until the end of the movie when I saw the horse come back...oh, I guess that was a spoiler alert if you're 25 years behind...</li>
<li>I was a member of the Pony Club. I loved riding horses.</li>
<li>When I was going to ride my horse Ebony in my first parade, she spooked at the fire truck and reared and fell backwards onto me. I missed the parade, but got to wheel myself around the hospital for a while. It was just a sprain.</li>
<li>As a freshman in high school, I tried out for Concert Choir, which was the most advanced, and first semester became one of the 3 first freshmen to ever be accepted into it. That was pretty awesome.</li>
<li>I was quoted in my junior yearbook as saying I wanted 7 kids when I grew up. They left out the part that made it clear I was being sarcastic and funny, saying it was just cause I wanted to name them all. I looked like the crazy octomom lady.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipY6Ln8mz8WcmzmGnNccv77RT40iKME_7xRFWCarHk69OET-GQhHQ4FrXUS4Pf2_sVBRewWt5DHjQyvH7Rqm22EbhiIWfIlTHk5lpHoeBhNrkahn1dYLm2G833Sxi2ViZnf6DVcI_RPT4k/s1600/lots-of-babies.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipY6Ln8mz8WcmzmGnNccv77RT40iKME_7xRFWCarHk69OET-GQhHQ4FrXUS4Pf2_sVBRewWt5DHjQyvH7Rqm22EbhiIWfIlTHk5lpHoeBhNrkahn1dYLm2G833Sxi2ViZnf6DVcI_RPT4k/s1600/lots-of-babies.jpg" /></a></li>
<li>I went to Japan and China when I was 11, and was an exchange student to Spain and France when I was 16. Those trip sparked my intense love of traveling to new places. I am dying to go to Scotland, Ireland, Greece and Italy.</li>
<li>Ages 19-23 I made a lot of mistakes in life. There's a lot I would do differently if I could back then. I can't say I was always the best friend, or the best person, but I'd like to say those experiences refined me and turned me into a better person. To all those I wronged back then, I am truly sorry.</li>
<li>I've lived in several different locations in California, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico, Nevada, and The Caribbean.</li>
<li>I was deathly shy when I was little. Then I forced myself to grow out of it for a while. Since I've been married, I seem to have reverted back to being really shy. It's so weird...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBzqoEo2GN_w752S5vfBTeMI6NEEtfpRaRM3B2Sx8kNGGVKvTJ9DS81pDTXAyKfEQinJc6gliH2yWc225R8gO38Me0HP9prbswFU2fNC_2VM29v2rndaHZZBZm5nKFx26aFNKqgbEB6-fJ/s1600/Shy-people.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="311" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBzqoEo2GN_w752S5vfBTeMI6NEEtfpRaRM3B2Sx8kNGGVKvTJ9DS81pDTXAyKfEQinJc6gliH2yWc225R8gO38Me0HP9prbswFU2fNC_2VM29v2rndaHZZBZm5nKFx26aFNKqgbEB6-fJ/s320/Shy-people.jpg" width="320" /></a></li>
<li>I don't talk about ages 24-26 anymore.</li>
<li>We had to try really hard to bring the apple of our eye, Greyson, into the world. The couple of years we went through infertility were pretty painful, but worth it. We feel intensely blessed it wasn't longer than that.</li>
<li>Las Vegas isn't as bad as I thought it would be.</li>
<li>Every time I swim in deep water (even a swimming pool) I hear the Jaws music in my head and panic.</li>
<li>If I could do anything as a job, I would be a traveling photographer. People would pay me to travel to different countries and places to take pictures and document different ways of life and histories.</li>
</ol>
<div>
So there you have it. You now know me a little bit better, whether you be friend, acquaintance, or stranger. I hope you don't think worse of me.</div>

I also got to go on the Santa Train with mommy in Boulder City, NV. It was so much fun! I got to meet Santa Claus and one of his elves! I tried to suck up to Santa by dressing just like him! Hopefully he'll bring me a extra special present this year! The train ride was fun too!</div>

I can't believe how fast my baby turned one month old! I also cant believe how much you can love such a small little person! And I also can't believe how someone so small can make so much noise, have so much stuff and completely change everything you know about life so completely!<br />
<br />
At one month old, Greyson has/can...<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Started to gaze at things a little further away from him. Especially lights</li>
<li>Looks like hes almost smiling! It'll happen soon!</li>
<li>Has been to church once. It was a little too much. Mommy had to go home early with a screaming baby</li>
<li>Has discovered that he loves to be rocked by daddy</li>
<li>Has peed and pood on both mommy and daddy. Though his favorite was when daddy was rocking him and his diaper didnt do his job causing daddy to jump up in shock... what a fun ride!</li>
<li>Peed in his own face</li>
<li>Stopped his super high pitched screech and started to cry a bit more like a regular baby sound</li>
<li>Put up with mommy taking lots and lots of pictures!</li>
</ul>

Ok, I figure that's a good enough resolution list. Its actually pretty long, which increases my likelihood of failing and disappointing myself, but you gotta shoot for the moon if you want to reach the stars... That saying never made sense to me, by the way... the stars are further away than the moon...*SMH*<br />

Welcome to the world, Greyson Robert! Born on October 18, 2012, weighing 7 lbs and 19 inches! I seriously still cannot believe he's finally here and that he's all mine! I mean, I guess I gotta share him with his dad too, but they actually let us take him home like it was no big deal! Here is Greysons birth story! It's really not too long!<br />
<br />
On October 17th, I woke up to my bloody show, which gave me this nervous feeling in the pit of my stomach, cause I know that means labor is coming soon! I went to my doctors appt, which I already had scheduled, and he said I was at 2 cm, and my cervix was softening, so he guessed I'd deliver within 5 days. I went grocery shopping for the week, and went home. I was feeling tired, so I laid down for a bit, and then got up to start dinner. I was in the kitchen in front of the stove when I felt a POP-GUSH, and just like that, my water broke. I was a bit in shock before I sprang into action to avoid having big puddle in the kitchen to clean up. My jeans absorbed everything before I was able to jump in the shower and change. I called my doula but told her I'd wait and see if contractions would start soon before I'd head to the hospital. Rob said he would be home soon when I called him. This was 6:30pm. Within 30 minutes, my contractions started. Not too bad at first, but after the first 3 contractions, they were 4-5 minutes apart and killing me! <br />
<br />
Rob got home, we grabbed my stuff and headed to the hospital. In L&D they checked and I was at 3cm and they got me a room. My doula got there and tried to help me breathe through the pain, which helped some, but I was seriously climbing the walls. I don't even remember anything but blinding pain, which she said was cause there was no more water in there cushioning the blows. After every contraction, I felt drained, I was soaked in sweat, and could barely move. And then another would come 2-3 minutes later. I felt like I was not getting any time to rest in between. At that point, I asked for an epidural, which actually was able to get in there really fast. Really, like one contraction later, he was there. I was at 4 1/2cm at that point. Hallelujah, praise God, that epidural was amazing. I could feel when I was having a contraction, but without the pain! I could feel my toes and move my legs too, so I felt like it was the perfect dosage for me! No bad side effects, thank goodness. Labor sped on, before too long I was at an 8cm, and about an hour later 91/2cm. 30 minutes later I was 10cm, they called the Dr, and he said to start pushing and call him when they became productive. After only a few pushes, they told me to stop cause apparently I was doing really good at pushing. They called the Dr. again, and he was there 10 minutes later. I felt calm and collected during everything, I had Rob on one side and my doula on the other. At 1:29am, Greyson was born! After only 6 1/2 hours of mostly enjoyable labor. He came out peeing (all over me, thanks to my humorous doctor) and with a very healthy set of lungs! Really, he was a loud loud baby according to...well, everyone in the room. He was born with a full head of dirty blond hair, and if I hadn't been there for everything, I might not have believed he belonged to me! That kid is all daddy!<br />
<br />
I did have a second degree tear, which sucked during the healing, and I did bleed a little more than they liked right after, but all in all, everything was perfect. And I highly recommend having the "magic hour" right after. I really felt connected to little Grey during that! I love my forever family so much!<br />

Lora Knight, @<a href="http://loraknightphotography.com/"> Loraknightphotography.com</a>. She just opened up a studio and is great! I'm really happy with how they turned out, I just wish Rob could have been there for some photos too! I'm feeling a little weird with the idea of printing something up of just me to hang on the wall. Maybe I can incorporate one or two into a collage of the baby or something ;)<br />

I just love how long my hair looks in the last one! That will be one to save for the future when I have old haggard hair! lol.<br />
<br />
In baby news, no baby yet. This week I will be 39 weeks, so really, it could be any day now. I'm really crossing my fingers its sooner than later. I really don't want to be induced, though my doctor hasn't said anything on the subject. I really don't know what his policy on the subject is. He hasn't even checked me to see if I'm dilated at all, which I am completely fine with. It kinda gives me the impression he's more hands off about birth until labor starts. I've been pretty proud of this pregnancy though! Here's why!<br />
<ul>
<li>I have not thrown up even once! Yay!</li>
<li>No stretchmarks to be found! I've seen some pictures of the stripes some women have earned during their pregnancy and they look downright painful! I mean, it's not like I'm going to be going around in a bikini anytime soon, but still, I'm secretly pleased that I was able to escape the stretchmarks!</li>
<li>I had a few rounds with heartburn, but on the whole, I did not have to suffer from that too much!</li>
<li>I can count on one hand how many times leg cramps woke me up during this pregnancy! As as awful as that was, I seriously can't imagine it being any more than that!!! I seriously feel for the ladies who had that happen all the time!</li>
<li>I can still drive, shave my legs, and get to the gym! Though putting on my lace up shoes is getting to be a little too hard to do, so I've been wearing my hiking sandals (Chacos) to the gym lately. he he</li>
</ul>
So this was my bump last week! <br />

As of right now, I am apparently the size of a watermelon. Feels about as heavy too! Officially on my BabyBump account, they say he's about 7.25 lbs. He used to kick and move around like crazy, but in the last week, that's slowed down a bit. Its more rolling and really uncomfortable stretching, with an occasional jab here and there that take my breath away. I do get worried when I haven't felt him move around in a while, but that's usually when he'll pick it back up. Now here's the things I'm looking forward to again!!!<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Bending over/down</li>
<li>Breathing</li>
<li>Not waddling</li>
<li>No more pain in my hips/ribs/back</li>
<li>Losing weight and not having a "Wide Load" sign on my bum!</li>
<li>Seeing this little ones face!!!!</li>
</ul>
Its funny how hard and long you pray for something to come into your life. If I complain about anything these last weeks, I've been feeling a little guilty, cause I think to myself, that I wanted this with all my heart and I lost tears and sleep over wanting a baby so badly. The last thing I should be doing is complaining. Especially when there's so many other people I know who are still struggling and it just isn't happening for them. But dang it, a balloon can only stretch so far before it pops! ;) I'm grateful, and no matter how uncomfortable I may be here at the end, and ready to have this baby, that doesn't change that fact at all!<br />

So I was grabbing something at Whole Foods, and right at the front entrance, there were these Dragon Fruits, and the sign said "Last of the season" so I figured if I wanted to try them, now was the time! I've never tried them before, and they're just so dang pretty, don't you agree? (I had to look up how to eat and serve them, cause I had NO clue!)</div>

Next up, I wanted to share my super easy crockpot beef stroganoff. Like, super easy.<br />
All you need is:<br />
1 can cream of mushroom soup<br />
1 can beef broth<br />
8 oz of sour cream<br />
1 lb beef cut into strips (I used chuck medallions)<br />
1 box pasta of your choice (ie egg noodles, rigatoni, etc)<br />
<br />
First sear the strips super fast, toss into the pot.<br />
Then toss the soup and broth into the pot on cook on low for around 4-6 hours<br />
When you're ready to eat, mix in the sour cream, and the cooked noodles and you're ready to go. Add some salt if you'd like. It's ok, no ones looking ;)<br />

Next up, Rob finally went out and got the vacuum cleaner he's been lusting after. He did, like, 6 months of research, wanting a Dyson first, then a Kirby, then he decided the Simplicity was his vacuum of choice. Since he vacuums, he can get whatever his dear heart desires! Anyway, he brought it home, and it totally looks like the vacuum cleaner that grandma had for like, 20 years, right? So the cute adorable vacuums are the cheapo-ish ones that break down after 2-5 years, and if you want a great vacuum that will last 10 + years and is "top-rated" then you get grandmas vacuum. Eh... It sits in the closet anyway, who cares what it looks like!<br />

I've seen other people explain the way they do it, but its so hard to figure it our for your own family. The only way I could get it to semi make sense for me was to work it out myself. I'm sure I'll get it down over time...probably as soon as I have no time due to a crying baby...lol. So here is my goal.<br />
<br />
Once a week I want to try certain things. So, Mondays I will try a new breakfast item. Preferably one that is a little more time consuming than eggs or cereal, and preferably one that makes enough to cover and have stuff for the next day or two, or three. Like Cinnamon rolls, or muffins of some kind.<br />
<br />
Thursdays will be my shopping day for the week.<br />
<br />
Fridays I will try some sort of new bread roll, or bread loaf. I have NO talent whatsoever making things that require yeast, so I'm hoping that by trying and trying again, I might get it down a little better. Or at least find one out of a hundred that I can actually make well.<br />
Also, every other Friday, Rob and I will have a date night, so I get a freebie night! Over time, that might change into takeout night when getting a sitter gets more expensive or hard to find ;)<br />
<br />
Saturdays I will try to make a new kind of dessert, or a tried and true one. And hopefully we'll have enough leftovers for Sundays dinner!<br />
<br />
I'll try to make Sundays the special dinner night. You know, the meals that take a little more planning and time to make.<br />
<br />
I want to try to have some sort of sandwich for dinner at least once every two weeks. Like tomorrow, I'm planning BLT's, and I have French dip sandwiches planned later in the month.<br />
<br />
At least twice a month will be leftover night too!<br />
<br />
I want to try to work in more freezer meals over time, but right now I A) don't have space in our small freezer, and B) need more time to plan those out. I've tried to work in at least crock-pot meal a week, but I love using my crock pot, so it'll probably be a lot more than that. And when I cook things that will freeze well, I want to try to remember to make a double recipe to freeze for later. Like casseroles and soups and stuff. I'm more concerned about doing that closer to my due date so I can build a store of stuff that I can just take out and cook =)<br />

Theres just so many recipes I have pinned on pinterest, that look SOOOO good, that I've been meaning to try, but I just haven't gotten around to it. Hopefully this will help me make my rounds. With any luck, by the end of the year, I'll have tried most of the recipes I have on there! Ok, wish me luck, I'll let you know how it goes as it goes. =)Danicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03240104058933844480noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4276909462970386014.post-64874971048594910252012-07-28T22:26:00.000-07:002012-07-28T22:26:33.174-07:00Foot in mouth...So, today I was talking to some new people from church(as in new to me since I'm the new person), and somehow the topic of working at Wal-mart came up. I mentioned how I had worked at Wal-mart through massage college, but in Utah, its the college place to work. I then mentioned how where I'm from, its very different, as its the "special" place to work where you have to be either missing a limb, or have half a brain. The girls then start laughing as one of them says that Wal-Mart wouldnt hire her, and she did in fact have half a brain...it was removed when she was a child. I really could have died right there. How often does an off-the-wall comment like that actually end up being true?!? What a beautiful spirit she must have though to be able to laugh about it instead of getting offended or hurt. But really, not one of my finer foot-in-mouth moments.<br />
<br />
(I swear, the absolute only time Rob talks to me and expects responses is when I am writing a blog. I could surf the web all day in peace, but the minute I start to write a blog, he starts yapping away! How does that happen?!?)<br />
<br />
In other news, I am now experiencing the joys of little feet in my ribs. Lots of fun... =P And if anyone wants to volunteer to help me unpack and organize these last few boxes and the babys room, that would be fabulous. Cause my organizational bone got broke this week. Lots to get used to as I am no longer working. You'd think I'd use all this extra time to get SUPER organized (especially since my mother-in-law is coming to town on monday), but I cant seem to get all that motivated. Then I feel so unproductive at the end of the day. Any suggestions on what I can do thats not to exerty (is that a word? It is now) that can keep me busy and make me feel productive while I'm waiting for this baby to come? Granted, I know I can clean and organize, but A)that only goes so far before you are done and done, and B)That can just get boring. I also know I can read a good book, but sometimes I feel guilty doing that by the end of the day. Maybe I can make Freezer meals for after the baby comes and I dont want to cook... but I still got at least 2 months left... would they last that long? Some freezer meal stuff says to make it within a month... and also, we have a <span style="font-size: xx-small;">SMALL</span> freezer...<br />
<br />
Ok, now that I'm rambling, I know its bedtime! ta ta for now internet-land.Danicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03240104058933844480noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4276909462970386014.post-20087272975625113432012-07-26T11:34:00.000-07:002012-07-26T11:41:48.769-07:00Leaving California and the 2nd trimesterI really admire those people who have a regular blogging schedule! Hopefully now that I have more free time, I'll be able to blog more... thought the catch of having more free time, is that I end up having less to blog about...hmmm. Anyway, for now, I'll catch you up on the Winberg household! (moving, Tim/Kenny concert, pregnancy update)<br />
<br />
We last left off right before we were about to move all our stuff out to Vegas and I was gearing up to be homeless for a few weeks. This is about how our apartment looked at the time...please ignore the annoying baby talk I was giving my kitties... I promise I do not do that all the time. That's Rob. =)<br />

<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Then the big day came and went smoothly, apparently... I was at work, and came home to an empty apartment! Thank goodness for friends and family who helped with everything! I didn't even have to clean much, most everything was done! And I will say, it was left as clean (if not cleaner) than when we first got the apartment, and we were still charged a cleaning fee!!!! I swear, apartment complexes feel their main goal in life is to rip everyone off just cause they can! Anyway, back to the story...Goodbye beautiful apartment, we will miss you! =(</span></div>

I spent the next few weeks here and there, living out of a suitcase. I'm so grateful to the families who let me stay with them... the Greer's, the Neely's, the Fardads, everyone was so kind! I got to visit Rob in our new home for a few days, and while I was here I got started on the unpacking process... let me tell you, I couldn't even wrap my head around where I would start! Everything was everywhere! And there would be times Rob would go looking for something, so he'd rifle through half a box, and then open another, and rifle through half of it... I don't even know why I bothered organizing things within boxes! but I managed to at least get the kitchen mostly unpacked so I could cook while I was here.</div>

The last day of work at the Four Seasons was especially hard. I made a lot of great friends there, and I didn't feel like I was ready to leave them behind. I still feel (mostly) able to work, so I still feel like I should be working, and the thought of not going back was tough. I can honestly say, I have never worked somewhere with so many women and had that little amount of drama. Oh, I'm sure there was a ton of drama I didn't see since I was only there part-time, but still, the fact that when I was there, no one was spreading the gossip, badmouthing others, or letting it obviously affect their working relationship with others, speaks volumes. I will miss you guys, and please, please keep in touch!</div>

My last full day in Cali, I got to go the the Tim McGraw/Kenny Chesney concert with my Winberg family! It was so great! I loved it! Jake Owen was the opening act, and he was awesome! I loved him! I have no idea why they put him before Grace Potter and the Nocturnal's... they weren't even country and they honestly didn't get that great of a reception from the crowd. I loved the one song she sang with Kenny, but that was at the end of the night. If anything, she shouldve gone first. But still, great concert overall! Music from 4:30-11:30...it was exhausting!</div>

And lastly, according to my phone apps, and What To Expect When You Are Expecting, today is the first day of my 3rd trimester! Yay, so exciting! 13 weeks left until my due date. New things I am experiencing...<br />
<ul>
<li>Heartburn. yuck. It was bad the last few days in California, then it calmed down and I've only had it a few times here in Vegas, but when I have it, I have it bad!</li>
<li>A few leg cramps here and there. Mostly when Rob wakes me up to say goodbye in the morning and I do my morning stretchy legs and arms. You know what I'm talking about...anyway, not a huge thing since its not all that often yet, but painful when it does happen!</li>
<li>Bending over to reach things, pick things up, or organize things (like under sinks...ugh) is getting really uncomfortable. I'd much rather deal with things up high now. That's a first in my life. I was talking about it with my mom yesterday. She was saying all husbands should be required to wear a fake prego belly for an extended period of time to make them appreciate what we live with. I said it would only work if there was some way for that belly to jam something into their lungs and make it impossible to breathe every time they bend over. Seriously, I cant wait to breathe normally again!</li>
<li>We have a name that I think we have decided on. But we're not putting it out into the Internet world just yet since its not 100%, and even if it were, we still haven't decided how we're going to spell it. Funny how much difference one little letter can make, huh?</li>
</ul>
<span style="background-color: white;">I'm entering the "uncomfortable stage". I thought this whole pregnancy thing was going smoothly as a dream, and sometimes even forgot I was pregnant. I can say now, that I never forget I'm pregnant, and between the back aches, not being able to breathe, weird uncomfortable pains, skin stretching and burning, and kicks to the bladder and internal organs, I'm a bit uncomfortable. Luckily I'm not sick on top of it all. I'm so grateful for my maintained good health, so thank goodness for small favors.</span><br />

I think about it a lot, and then it never gets done. I figure I should do it now while I still have a computer to do it on. <br />
<br />
First and foremost... by the end of this week, I will be homeless. A sad, sad, pregnant, most likely barefoot, homeless girl. Awww :( Ok, maybe technically not homeless. I guess we can let the good news out, Rob got a job in Las Vegas and this Saturday we're moving all our stuff to our new place out there! (technically I should be packing or resting so I can get up early and resume packing) Yay! We get to live in a two bedroom, and I get to be a stay-at-home mommy! I really feel so blessed! The homeless part comes in when we are legally out of our apartment (this Saturday) and I get to stay out here until middle of July to finish up work and a bit of the busy season while I can still work! Then I get to join my hubby in the hot hot desert and finish out the summer and start and end my third trimester in the blistering heat... boo. If you need me, I'll be in my air conditioned apartment...all the time. So I say goodbye to beautiful So Cal, which has been my home for all but 5 years of my life, on July 15th =*(<br />
<br />
Exciting second trimester news:<br />
1) I got to go to the Ellen Mothers Day show! It was really amazing, and I love how generous Ellen is! We seriously got a lot of the big baby stuff I was worried we wouldnt be able to afford for quite some time! I won a contest, so I not only got VIP seats, but I got to take another new mom, pregnant for the first time! I feel so humbled and grateful for the experience and opportunity! Thank you Ellen!!!<br />

2) It's a boy! We found out the gender at 19 weeks! So exciting! I was going to be thrilled no matter what, but a small part of me wanted a boy first so that he could be the protective big brother for future siblings! Though, I couldnt tell you it was a boy from looking at the ultrasound...she said "see that there? It's his boy parts!" and I said "if you say so". To be honest, what she pointed at looked exactly the same as everything else around the baby, so I'll just take her word for it!</div>

3) The day before the Ellen Show (On May 9th) I felt my very first baby movements! They were super super light and I had to be lying on my back with my hand on my stomach being very still, and then I felt something. Gradually over time I started to feel the same thing more often, and stronger, and then I could feel it when I would sit down, and now (almost 21 weeks) I am starting to feel his little movements when I'm standing up! Its so odd... I can definantly feel his mass move from my left side to my right side, and he definantly favors my left side. I couldn't tell you what body part is where yet, and he doesn't seem to move more when I eat certain foods... he definantly seems to move more when I sit down though... I get the impression he prefers when I stand up. Too bad baby boy! Mamma has gotta rest!</div>

4) Still feeling great! I feel a little guilty when some of my friends just feel like crap through their pregnancy. This really has been a dream pregnancy for me! Karma says that if I have a great pregnancy, the child will make up for any suffering I missed out on...life just wont work out THAT perfectly for me! lol. And now I'm starting to show! Yay for photo proof!</div>

In other news, we got to go to Reno the beginning of April for my brother-in-law's and my sister-in-laws temple sealing in the Reno temple. It was beautiful! And Sean and Tarilyns son, Porter, was just too cute! He totally stole the show! It was like a giant family reunion too, so it was a lot of fun! When Rob left to get back to work, he got to take his sisters private jet back to Cali with their family cause they had an extra seat! What a spoiled boy he was that day! <br />

Lots of newly pregnant moms there. Lots of information; what to eat/not eat, expectations, possible symptoms... I think I was one of the more further along moms of the group, so some of the things were geared to early pregnancy and the first trimester, but still, lots of useful information. We also had to fill out a form with SO many questions! Then came time to do the one hour glucose test.<br />

First couple sips weren't so bad. Kinda like an Orange Crush. But cause you have to drink it fast, the more you drank the nastier it got! About halfway into it, it was burning the back of my throat so bad, I started coughing! So gross! Then an hour later came the blood work, which I usually detest, so I had to work myself up to it...I sat down, looked away, and then realized a minute later, she was already in! I swear, I hardly felt it. Chalk one up for Kaiser! I usually left Facey with bruises where the needle went in =(<br />
Anyway, all my blood work came back normal =) yay! Kaiser also wants to put me into this specific group called TIP, where a group of girls meet together with a midwife once a month and there are speakers and we get little goodies and do prenatal yoga...only catch is I have to go to Panorama City, but still, sounds pretty good... Anyone heard of it?<br />
Other than that, feeling great. Felt a little muscle spasm in my lower belly. Made me think it was a random little kick, but at 13 weeks tomorrow, I'm sure its too soon, and for now will blame it on other bodily things =)<br />
<br />
Oh, and we had a sort of family reunion/Robs brother getting sealed get together for the Easter weekend in the Reno, NV area. That was a lot of fun to be with the whole family!<br />

That's just Robs parents, siblings, their spouses and children. We're a big group! I'll post more about that later ;)Danicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03240104058933844480noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4276909462970386014.post-19045363005398229332012-04-10T15:04:00.000-07:002012-04-10T15:04:23.756-07:00Oh Happy DayWell, I've made the big reveal already. Perhaps a few days earlier that would be "socially acceptable," but I couldn't help myself! From the minute I found out I was pregnant, I wanted to scream it out to the world! Today I am 11 weeks 5 days pregnant! It feels almost like a miracle, there were times that I really thought it might never happen.<br />
It all started on Valentines Day. I knew it would be a little early to test, but due to the special day, I thought I'd try anyway, just in case.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS5Q2EOh0D3yxb-RxncpORLCoRfoVETmt0XM_cnkuIwnhLp6ZilHMXcOvfFf5wRU3KUqCH-rIpDxI861-eFFv77QpLzZgbelRx0Czz216J0Bi-9piJBIi1VZ0jG_rL6BSEvEp_nBOGKdSR/s1600/IMG_1429.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS5Q2EOh0D3yxb-RxncpORLCoRfoVETmt0XM_cnkuIwnhLp6ZilHMXcOvfFf5wRU3KUqCH-rIpDxI861-eFFv77QpLzZgbelRx0Czz216J0Bi-9piJBIi1VZ0jG_rL6BSEvEp_nBOGKdSR/s200/IMG_1429.jpg" width="150" /></a></div><br />
I tried a cheapo test first, and when I thought I saw a second line, but couldn't quite tell, I almost went crazy. I dug out my special test I was saving for when I really thought it might be possible, and tried it right away. When that "pregnant" sign came up, I clapped my hand over my mouth and stood like that for about 10 full minutes. I didn't know what to do, and my mind wasn't processing anything in that moment.<br />
I decided that it was the perfect day to tell Rob in some sort of special way, so I went to Target and grabbed a pack of diapers. I was looking for the perfect onsie, but couldn't find it there, so I went over to Buy Buy Baby, and waited outside the store for about 15 minutes, and got the cutest little onsie.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0ERB3vV5v7ZJ2HJaKRNRXcwb6h1ptOKmujr9VRwLL0jRz-pljT3bzMT0OQQuBlguQ0F1ViJrP-pSFbyWQF_WIN05zOJ-frue8YR8Tk3KbA6EFeQgmr1Do2AWjCmJIlnlisIleX9Aeq9tv/s1600/IMG_1430.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0ERB3vV5v7ZJ2HJaKRNRXcwb6h1ptOKmujr9VRwLL0jRz-pljT3bzMT0OQQuBlguQ0F1ViJrP-pSFbyWQF_WIN05zOJ-frue8YR8Tk3KbA6EFeQgmr1Do2AWjCmJIlnlisIleX9Aeq9tv/s1600/IMG_1430.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I wrapped up the diapers and onsie and gave it to Rob that night when he got home from work, and boy was he surprised!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">When I went for my first Dr. appt, I was about 5 weeks. We had to make sure that the baby was in the right spot, and that it wasn't another ectopic pregnancy. Unfortunately, we couldn't really see anything yet, so I went in the next week, and we were able to find the gestational sac, but that was it. At this point, I was starting to feel very anxious and after searching on google, I was convinced I had a <a href="http://www.americanpregnancy.org/pregnancycomplications/blightedovum.html">blighted ovum</a>. When I was 7 weeks we did one more ultrasound and we were finally able to see a baby and the yolk sac! They told me I was a week behind and moved my due date to 11/2/12, but I was convinced that wasn't right and that I was not a week behind.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimnpC4_wDLHJA0yFZ3NZrD7DjO92eG6N17FeGCcWoAGCeOQUVmRzZFehKLn8AlIFKRV1iqLForXBWOvseYcOVkoYiVBikAU-7BbeT4yIKOzxtXO4ySSaIzW65xLYTrdpn738qqrhazArOL/s1600/IMG_1516.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimnpC4_wDLHJA0yFZ3NZrD7DjO92eG6N17FeGCcWoAGCeOQUVmRzZFehKLn8AlIFKRV1iqLForXBWOvseYcOVkoYiVBikAU-7BbeT4yIKOzxtXO4ySSaIzW65xLYTrdpn738qqrhazArOL/s320/IMG_1516.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div>I had another ultrasound at what the Dr.s said was 10 weeks, and at that ultrasound, they then moved my due date back to a day before what they originally said. 10/25/12! Rob got to be there for that one and he got to see the little peanut dancing around and doing somersaults. Seeing his huge smile was priceless!<br />
<br />
As far as symptoms go, I've been feeling great! The whole first week I took the test, I could not sleep for more than 4 hours, which really started to wear me down, and I was happy to see that phase pass. I've had a few bouts of dizziness, and lately I start to feel a little bit nauseated in the afternoons. Especially if I haven't eaten in a little while. I have been exhausted in the early evenings, and if that wasn't my busiest time at work, I would totally indulge in naps.<br />
<br />
I haven't had any major food aversions, but once I have a meal, the thought of having it again, makes me feel icky. Like, I had a bunch of rice that first week, and the thought of eating it again makes me want to vomit. It makes it really difficult to plan meals now. I hope it doesn't last much longer. The only things I can have over and over again are Hamburgers, Tacos, Chicken, and Oranges. Yum!<br />
<br />
In the last week, week and a half, I've just started to notice a little roundness in my abdomen starting to take shape. I know its probably more bloat than anything, but its still exiting to see! Its especially bloaty after I eat, but I just pretend I'm like, 18 weeks pregnant, and I feel all pregnant. lol.<br />
<br />
Best part so far (other than seeing the ultrasounds) was taking our announcement photos! Lora Knight did them for us, and I love how they turned out!<br />

The same bookcase that I made our <a href="http://danicamichelle.blogspot.com/2011/10/inspired.html">refurbished frame</a> out of from one of the old glass panes that was on it. I have just been thinking that it looked a little grandparent-ish hand-my-downy, so I wanted to give it a face-lift! Here is our before:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6ifrUuc4D3KcM763OhbFaG8HsZFCO1z4FR-wHNUn0XPS0gFCIsxUAEpy-3QdPiUCN7WRNvQ_88vxDA2yRNYnE1xo5cIwnzC3obMJFKO1BrJwb_eQASDLKEcjAZJyMfqBJwq0X0_abs-1L/s1600/DSCN0613.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6ifrUuc4D3KcM763OhbFaG8HsZFCO1z4FR-wHNUn0XPS0gFCIsxUAEpy-3QdPiUCN7WRNvQ_88vxDA2yRNYnE1xo5cIwnzC3obMJFKO1BrJwb_eQASDLKEcjAZJyMfqBJwq0X0_abs-1L/s320/DSCN0613.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br />
Once I took out all the books, I had no idea that I had a small bookstore on my hands! And this doesnt include cooking, or old schoolbooks I've kept! Or the books that I knew I'd never read again, so I gave them away!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ9dPhNSGizhvZbDZP4zZypjU95Kkdv2Q0FfuM8XTckdx6BXMNwbNFlMhc2xG4IKr8WTXRF0RbqIHyWB0tPf7AZX_X4crHEhKI3FTGHMFOWT8-7PSEvuawc040eqslAll_oX8AI1WwlnT9/s1600/DSCN0629.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ9dPhNSGizhvZbDZP4zZypjU95Kkdv2Q0FfuM8XTckdx6BXMNwbNFlMhc2xG4IKr8WTXRF0RbqIHyWB0tPf7AZX_X4crHEhKI3FTGHMFOWT8-7PSEvuawc040eqslAll_oX8AI1WwlnT9/s320/DSCN0629.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Then I bought some semi-gloss black paint from the hardware store and gave it 2 layers of black paint EVERYWHERE except the back wall. I probably should have sanded/faux sanded, but I really had no interest in adding another step messy or not. Just the painting alone killed my wrists (massage therapist, they're already abused, didnt need more), so I crossed my fingers and prayed it would be alright without that little step.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwendDdDO0IpmiwKjbpVZZuFXU_ayxmAH9Vu2B7DZlcMgdL2xVQuMUlGk2Gjr4KLR1cvq5KCIH0_ZrRDd6QURM7NPqltsDD4NHxdyGuID73fWug8JyxufcjDpD8-D1esGsk04Utwy2WOPF/s1600/DSCN0628.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwendDdDO0IpmiwKjbpVZZuFXU_ayxmAH9Vu2B7DZlcMgdL2xVQuMUlGk2Gjr4KLR1cvq5KCIH0_ZrRDd6QURM7NPqltsDD4NHxdyGuID73fWug8JyxufcjDpD8-D1esGsk04Utwy2WOPF/s320/DSCN0628.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br />
I thought it turned out quite lovely! Then I went to all the local hardware stores. I wanted to find either a damask or striped wallpaper to put on the back wall in some sort of shade of green. Wouldn't you know it, I couldn't find anywhere that carries wallpaper or wallpaper samples anymore! Maybe I missed the only store that does, but everywhere said the same thing: "We only carry it online now!" ARG! So thats what I did! I found a ton of wallpapers I LOVED... that were $36/roll with a min. 2 roll purchase. Um, not really in my budget. In the end though, I found something that I loved that also worked for my wallet! =) TaDa!<br />

I'm in love! I put the books back in and almost took them out again cause I felt like not enough of the green was showing through the books!

So we had a little "last hoorah" at Dimples, the Kareoke bar. On a Monday night. Obviously, it was packed. Ha. But it was nice, cause all of us girls's microphone hungry husbands had (almost) total domain over the stage for a majority of the night! It was a lot of fun! I sang "leaving on a jet plane" (even though they drove), and the boys sang every off key hard rock song they could. lol. It was hilarious... aside from the brawl that we almost started... lol.

I don't know what those boys are gonna do without each other! lol. But we'll keep in touch as they raise their adorable growing family! Malia just had her second little boy this morning! We're so happy for them!<br />
<br />
Other than that, I know I'm a bit behind! Thanksgiving was great...I cooked! Christmas was great... I cooked! Robs birthday was great... I only cooked some appetizers, and some really hard brownies. Note to self: When accidentally pouring the batter into a too large pan and deciding to go with it anyway, remember to cut the time in half! For christmas, Rob got a TV, and I got a Kitchen-aid mixer, so that pretty much means, we will NEVER be able to top this christmas! Then Robs birthday came around shortly after... luckily I plan for that... I hope to never give him a present and say "Merry christmas! Oh yeah, and its your birthday gift too!" Boo! I got him a nice sports coat, a fireproof safe, and I framed the ticket stub I saved from our first date to the movies. Aw, right?<br />

New Years was great. I made one resolution. I will run a half marathon this year. Maybe I'll do a 10k first to get warmed up. I decided against the little things that I'd break right away, like losing 10 pounds, or working out every day... I figure if I get that big one, all the other little ones will follow =) And if I don't, at least I only broke 1 resolution instead of 5 ;) hehe, no but I will do it!<br />
<br />
Last year I made the resolution to find out I was pregnant before christmas 2011. I was thinking I didn't make it, but then I remembered that <i>technically</i>, I did. We found out I was pregnant... right after my ectopic ruptured... but still, we found out, so resolution accomplished. Now to do it again... this time with a better outcome. This whole thing is such a rollercoaster. Right now, is definantly a heartbreaking time. Like one of those moments when you just want something with all your heart, and nothing you can do will get you there any faster. I mean, if I am just DYING for a certain pair of shoes, I can just drive over to the store and buy them (and then hide them in the closet and hope rob doesn't notice the first time I wear them...which he ALWAYS does). But you really can't do that with a baby. Nope. Appearantly the life lesson I need to learn is patience right now. If you pray for kindness, God gives you the opportunities to be kind. If you pray for patience, God gives you the opportunities to be patient... OK God! Lesson learned! Moving on! Sigh. I know, I know. Gods timing. Not mine.<br />
<br />
Well, if you made it this far, you are a rockstar! Happy New Year, and if anyone needs anything at all, please let me know! We really want to find more opportunities this year to help others out. Plus, the more people we help move, the more help we can expect when the time comes for us to move! ;) haha, jk.

I read this through after I was done, and it is anything but short! sorry!) little update for those who are interested, or are just trying to figure out just how successful certain fertility treatments are. Sorry in advance if I bore you =)<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">So about 2 1/2 months ago, Rob and I got the go ahead that we could start trying again, and I got the prescription for <a href="http://infertility.about.com/od/infertilitytreatments/a/clomid101.htm">Clomid</a> (or in my case, the generic Clomiphene). I was told to take it on day 3-7 of my cycle (5 days) and then do my thing, and do a blood test on day 21 (or 22 if needed, but it is a very time sensitive test) to see if I ovulated correctly. That test apparently is very important because if it turns out that I did NOT, then my dose needs to go up the next month. If the dose is not increased, the whole next month is a waste, and that is no bueno considering you can only take this med for up to 6 months at a time, and there is a lifetime max, but I don't know how much it is... anyway, I digress... If I did ovulate, then all is good and I stay on the same dose for the following month.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">So, 2 months ago I started my first round! I was so excited. I know it's only a 7-10% of twins, but here I was half expecting the first shot at it to work, and not only that, but it would be twins! That first month was the longest month ever. Though I was happy to say that I did not have ANY side effects. Well, at work for two days I seemed to get a little hot, but who knows if that was just a lack of A/C... cause it was definitely not the "hot flash" that they said was possible. So good news people! Not everyone has awful side effects with that stuff. Anyway, here's the quick version of the results so far... *Updated*</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Month 1: I ovulated! yay! Not pregnant =(</div><div style="text-align: left;">Month 2: I ovulated! Not pregnant =(<br />
Month 3: I ovulated! Not pregnant =(<br />
Month 4: I ovulated! Not pregnant =(</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">And now we are in month 3. I won't do these posts regularly cause if it does work, I don't want anyone thinking "oh, she didn't post this month...she must be pregnant..." Gotta keep the mystery alive, right? Truth be known though, every month that passes increases my discomfort about the situation. I heard, though I didn't confirm it with my doc, that every month you are on Clomid, it is less and less likely to be successful. I try not to think about it though cause everyone says "Just stop thinking about it. If you don't worry, then it'll happen." Which, just so you all know, is a slap in every woman's face who is dealing with infertility. Basically you are telling her that it is her fault she can't get pregnant, which most of the time is completely not true. Sometimes, no matter how stressed or relaxed a woman is, it just will not happen for them due to physical issues beyond her control. And these women know that too. So hearing that phrase just will not help and will only make her feel worse. Sorry...didn't mean to go all preachy but it just had to be said...</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Infertility is hard. I recognise that. I know it could get harder... I really haven't been forced to deal with it for all that long yet. I also recognise that it could get easier as well...I could be one of the lucky ones. However, I have not lost hope nor do I intend to. I'm not getting depressed...sad, disappointed, impatient, at times heartbroken, yes. But not depressed. Because I know that there is light at the end of the tunnel. There may be a perfect little spirit out there made just for us... we just may not get him or her in the conventional way... they may need to come to us through someone else. One day it'll happen... adoption, or naturally...it will.<br />

There is no guarantee for future success because I had a failed pregnancy in the past. Its a really hurtful thing to hear. And I know it is only meant with the best intentions and comes from a good place... or maybe the person just doesn't know what to say to help...I'm happy to have friends that care... it's just hard to know what to say when you havent experienced it... heck, it's hard to know what to say even if you have... its a hard situation and everyone is different in how they deal with it.</b></span></div></div></div>Danicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03240104058933844480noreply@blogger.com2
