Sonogram Pictures

Pumpkin Pie?

So, the sonogram yesterday was just...... amazing. I could see my little baby moving around -- I didn't think that was possible!As soon as the tech put the thing on my stomach, baby spazed...it was so freggin adorable-- I was so dang excited. The heart beat was very strong and it was just too cute. My mom got to come with me, so that was wonderful. I wouldn't have been able to just do that alone. I mean... the rest I am sure I can go alone, but it was nice to have family come with me.

So...the tech told me I was 10 weeks 2 days, and I was PISSED.....but apparently, I'm 9 weeks 6 days.So... my bad I guess....but.... I mean... I don't expect the measurements to be perfect,but that tech was a real doucher. I wanted to slap her right in the mouth. For goodness sake, she said "more better"...and we all know how I feel about idiots..... but a few friends said when they got their sonograms, it was off. My friend Monica said the doctor was off by 2 weeks for her little girl, so I'm good to go.

I'm going to go to Walgreen's in a little bit so I can scan all of the pictures onto a disk, and get some hard copies for LJ to have. The other pictures of the baby aren't as clear as the one I previously posted, because that was a miracle shot. The other 4 shots the baby looks like.... well.... not a baby. it looks like a gopher or something. Very weird. The first thing LJ said after he saw the picture? "baby has a big head!" so-- yay for him being SO romantic.

I woke up this morning, dying for french toast and pumpkin pie. I went to the store thinking I would just have to do the french toast? but NO! Fry's had pumpkin pie. And Cheetos. I went to dinner with George last night, and he started talking about Cheetos-and so, that's what I'm eating.And it is amazing.

Baby Picture!!!

Um.. how cute it is that it looks like it's giving me the sign for "I love you"?

I told you... this baby is going to be awesome!

Seriously?

So, I weighed myself again this morning. I've lost FOUR pounds since January 21st. So, if every calculation is correct, I'm 9 weeks pregnant, and have LOST weight. I mean, I'm not a small girl by any means, but I thought only super over weight people lost weight when they got pregnant? My doctor had told me that by week 12, I should have gained around 5 pounds. I mean, usually, I'll all for losing weight, but I'm just a little worried. My mom keeps telling me I need to nourish her grandchild. I agree, but I just can't seem to eat that much. For breakfast, I HAVE to eat, or I get sick from the prenatals.... I eat lunch every day--my coworkers can vouch for me on that! I just have a hard time eating more than rice and oreos for dinner. OH! Speaking of dinner.....I made rice & FRENCH ONION SOUP! And, get this...it was Campbell's. Freaking Campbell's caned soup. And it was amazing. I can't believe this. I've been on a quest for 8 weeks now, and it was just right there. Insane.

So.. tomorrow is the big day! First Sonogram! My mom just called to tell me she was sick though.... and I REALLY don't want to go alone for this. I might have to bring my sister. And now? I'm crying, because my freaking husband should be there with me but no. Like anything could ever be easy right? 14 more days. And bad news, the sluts back--but LJ reassured me, she won't be there when I'm there. Because I will slap sluts. :)

my husband

So, I might not think it always, because really? You can't ALWAYS this this way, but my husband is amazing. I was thinking about the very first date we went on, and I couldn't stop smiling this morning. It was so sweet. I flew into San Antonio, TX to meet him,and we went on the river walk, and watched a scary movie back in the hotel....where he passed out like, 10 minutes into the movie....which he still does, no matter the movie.

I really think before the split, I took a lot of the cute little things he did for granted(after he was home from Iraq), and I am SO happy we decided to do this again. I simply love the man. And I espically love how now, he constantly is asking how I'm feeling. Which, by the way, is the nicest thing ever for some reason. Mostly because that's about all he can do from Kentucky, and I'm stuck here in Arizona.So, basically, that's all for this post. I just love my husband. :)

And, everything pregnancy wise? Totally awesome today. Yay!!

Bored at work=Me finding nursery ideas!

So, here I am, sitting at work, not interpreting a thing. It. Is. Awesome.....sometimes. Like right now!
So, I'm set on sea monkey's nursery colors.
Green, brown, and either pink or blue. (come on pink!)
I don't know why I like this, but it just seems better than primary colors because I hate those, and green and brown go with pink or blue beautifully.
So... here are some of the ideas I've seen so far


I love this one. It's simple, so I can add paintings, and mirrors and whatever else I find to match.


This one, I don't love, but it had some potential I think.



And this one I like also, but where the white is on top, I'd want whatever color the baby is.

And.... so, that's pretty much all I have. My mom found a pretty cool crib for us today. it goes from crib, to a day bed, to a full sized bed. DH and I found one at target we liked, but after seeing my MiL's friend and her son's crib... I might not want to go that route. PLUS-- LJ has an old dresser that I've been dying to paint anyway, so I might just get that chance. And by paint, I mean stain, and get new handles. But... we'll see about all that.

I don't know if I LOVE it, but I do love that it has a changing table with a stand like..right there. But, while in KY the husband and I will be looking at all kinds of baby swag anyway :)

OH! I almost forgot!

I took this photo right after LJ left for Iraq....
If we have a boy, I seriously think he's going to look like this, since I think LJ kinda looked like this when he was a baby. I'm hoping for a girl, but look at this sweet little boy!
