Announcement

So I totally know it has been FAR too long since I've posted on here but now I actually have something to blog about. Me and hubby are expecting our first baby! We could not be more excited and I can't wait to chronicle the second half of my pregnancy. I totally meant to start blogging about all of this sooner but never got around to it until I started reading the blog Little Baby Garvin and totally wish I was as artistic as her so I could make a cool weekly chalk board update every week! And on that note here is whats going on...

How far along? Almost 19 weeks

Total weight gain: At my last appt I still hadn't gained, I had lost 4 lbs so we will see soon!
Maternity clothes? I have one pair of pants but can still wear most of my regular clothes
Stretch marks? Not yet thank goodness
Baby bump? A little one, depends on the clothes I'm wearing and holy moly does it show after I eat :)
Sleep: Seems to take me forever to fall asleep, and I wake up at least 3 times a night to pee, and it takes me a little while to go back to sleep so it's whatever really
Best moment this week: Finally having my major headache be gone that made me miss most of work this week!
Miss Anything? Sleeping on my stomach and Cookie dough lol
Movement: I can't decide yet lol I feel like I feel something going on in there, not sure if it's just my stomach or the baby
Food cravings: CHOCOLATE! Chocolate milk shakes from sonic and chocolate long john donuts are pretty bomb!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not really, just bad smells...but that's anything really. The smell of beer and cigarettes is DISGUSTING! I hated it before but wow even more now
Gender: We find out in TWO days :) I'm guessing and hoping girl and hubby is of COURSE going with boy
Labor Signs: No
Symptoms: Headaches like nobodies business
Belly Button in or out? in
Wedding rings on or off? on
Happy or Moody most of the time: INSANELY moody, poor hubby :(
Looking forward to: Finding out the sex of the baby on Tuesday & then going shopping crazy :)

I will start taking weekly pictures to post with this and other things with the nursery and what not but for today this is what I got. :)

Caylee's Law

I know I haven't updated in quite a long time but this is something I would like everyone to go and sign! It's a petition to have a law in place where a parent, legal guardian, or caretaker of a child has to report their death or them missing within a reasonable amount of time or it is a felony charge. If you don't know anything about the Casey Anthony Trial look it up and then sign this petition!

Website Coming Soon...

So I'm still in the process of making things and getting my website up. I'm going to be using Big Cartel and I'm so excited because it's a pretty easy website to use, even for someone like me that, right now at this point, knows very little about business!! I will definitely keep you guys updated once I get the site up, I already HAVE the site, it's just under maintenance right now because there's nothing on it! So I hope the weather starts to be nice soon so I have motivation to do something!!!!

I am so excited!!

Since I lost my job I have been SUPER SUPER bored...I never realized I would hate not working so much haha! But I've been talking with my hubby about opening a store of my stuff that I've been making (tutu's, bows, I'm gonna start blinging out some picture frames and some make up brush holders/pencil cups! And I dunno what else). We decided that first I should start an online store and see how it goes and build up some money and if it's something I really enjoy and it goes good eventually we may open a store front but for right now we are just gonna do the online thing! I am SO beyond excited to get this started and have something to do to occupy my time besides just watching tv all day! I really hope that people love the stuff I make and it goes good! So if you could all just pray with me about it that would be super awesome!!

Warmer Weather

You can't even tell me that these pictures don't make you want to go to a beach!! Uh I'm ready to go to a beach again I am SO beyond tired of the snow!!! These are some pics from our honeymoon back in may!!

Sticking...

I have no idea why it is so hard for me to stick to things. I am absolutely horrible at it! The thing I am the WORST at sticking to though? WORKING OUT! I dunno why, I really wish I did! I know I would feel much better if I stuck to it and did it every day but it's SO hard for some reason!! I have no excuse NOT to do some kind of exercise everyday because I'm home all day but I would rather sit on facebook or watch tv I guess! ha ha! I wish I lived somewhere nice, I would love to take my dog for a walk every day! But of course its like 35 degrees outside and I don't feel like freezing or falling on ice! ha! But I think I'm going to maybe try to get out there and do it anyways, just bundle myself up and get out there! Uh well hopefully I can find something SOON to stick too! I'm gonna try to convince my hubby (yea probably not gonna happen but we can try!) to get me Just Dance or the Zumba for wii. Here's to hoping!!

Jobs, Jobs, Jobs!

We thought we were going to have a big change! Hubby went to a job fair the other day and the Boeing Seattle guy told him he could get him a job out there. He came home and was telling me about it and my instant reaction was WHAAAAT!! ha ha! That is a looong ways from home (oh just like 30 hours!!!!!) Then we both started to get really excited about it! Well come the next day (yesterday) he wakes up and is like I think I got cold feet!! I KNEW HE WOULD DO THIS! ha ha! Then I text him later on in the day and asked him what he thought and I guess he decided just to stay around here!! Which for me was a big relief but kind of a bummer too, I was kind of excited to try somewhere new...even if it was 30 hours away from everyone I know!! Who knows maybe some time in the future we will venture outta our comfort zone of being with in minutes of our family, hopefully just not 30 hours away!!

Today I went and took some testing for a job for the county!! Hopefully I will get it!! I would be awesome and it's super great pay! And since it's for the county it would also be good benefits, good hours (NO NIGHTS!!! WOOHOO), and I would also have holidays off which is super wonderful too because who wants to work on holidays? NOBODY!! So keep that in your prayers that if it's the job that God wants me to have (which I really hope it is because I'm so bored with being a housewifey right now haha) that I will get it! I mean I love to be home to make supper for my hubby but with that job I would still be home before him so I could still do that...but being home alone all day while everyone is at work is no fun! If we had kiddos or I babysat or something it would be different but allllllllllllll day by my lonesome is nooo fun!! So keep me in yours prayers :D

Snow...

Sunday it started to snow, on Monday it continued to snow! I kind of have mixed feelings about snow...it was so pretty coming down because it wasn't crazy windy like it always is!! I'm ok with snow when I don't have to go anywhere and I can just look at it being pretty, but I do not like it one bit when I have to go out in it! I also don't like the cold so snow just adds to it being cold!!

This was Zoe's first snow, she went out and came right back in!! She was definitely thinking "you expect me to pee out there" ha ha! I think she has finally gotten use to it! Sunday afternoon her and Marley were both pretty happy when my hubby came home and went outside and played with them a little in the back yard!

I think Zoe is like me and she will definitely be happy when it's warm again (i think her being a summer puppy makes her like the warm weather better ha ha!!)

Crazy dogs...

Last night we had a scare with Zoe! Mike got home from work and he goes to the back room where the dogs are and see's that one of the dogs had thrown up. I started to look around and found shreds of a yellow box all over the floor...she had eaten RAT POISON!! Thankfully she had thrown it up so we didn't have to make her throw up. I had thankfully remembered that one of his friends wife worked at the emergency vet here so we got a hold of her and asked her what we should do and she told us to take her into the hospital. They took FOREVER even though we were the only ones in there! They had to take her temp in her butt! I felt so bad for her :( she was really good through it all though. The doctor came in and explained what the rat poison does and then gave us a prescription for some Vitamin K that we have to give her for the next two weeks! She is the biggest pain the butt to give pills too and these are way to big to hide in a treat so we just have to sit and make sure she eats it.
What the Vitamin K does is helps her blog start to clot again because rat poison makes rats (and other animals if they eat it!) blood then out and not be able to clot...it basically takes away their vitamin K. So we are gonna give her the Vitamin K, take her back to our regular vet to have them test her blood and make sure it clots ok with out the synthetic vitamin K and if it doesn't then she will have to be on the vitamin K for a little bit longer!!
I am just glad she is ok! I wish she wouldn't have ate it at all but it coulda been on a day when the regular vet was open so it didn't cost so much!! Silly dogs!

Dog Park

We took the dogs to the dog park today. It was good and bad. It was good for them to be around other dogs and I'm pretty sure they loved it. It was bad because Zoe is a little brat/diva!

They have two fenced in areas one for bigger dogs and one for smaller dogs. There were a ton in the bigger dog area so Marley ran all over sniffing other dogs and running all over and he was pretty darn content. Zoe on the other hand had only ONE little lab puppy in the fenced in area for the small dogs and she acts like a complete brat! As soon as she sees the dog she runs at it barking and made its hair stand all the way up on it's back and then tried to fight with it!! Then another little dog came in and she wasn't too concerned with it for awhile but he was definitely concerned with her and followed her everywhere! Every time I threw the ball he would run too, not concerned with the ball just concerned with following her. Then I dunno what got into both of them but they had a little fight and then were ok. Silly puppies!!

And now some pictures.

Zoe running like crazy

Marley just hanging out. He loved to go under that little thing.

Zoe playing with the two other dogs. The black on is the one she first started a fight with.

And her little friend that wanted to follow her everywhere.

I should have gotten a picture of their little fight haha but I was too concerned with trying to get them apart and not get hurt.
