Well.. the Christmas tree didn't go up last night. And it didn't go up tonight, either. lol..

Had my OB appt today (16 weeks.. but I'm 17+3) and it was perfect. :)  Baby's heart rate was a steady 156.. so it's been within 5 BPMs each of the last 3 visits. Very steady!  She felt around and looks like the baby is up high! Right up there behind the belly button. Now I get to start thinking that what I'm feeling up there really IS the baby and not just my tummy.. I didn't expect baby to be so high. Awesome!

Been fighting some headaches lately.. and.. thanks to the Dr for a great diagnosis  lol.. it didn't hit me that I cut out caffeine completely and that could certainly be an issue. She said to go for 2 Xtra strength Tylenol and if that didn't work to take 400 MG of ibuprofen and chase it with a soda or  coffee. HA! Back cramping is normal, she says.. Other than that, no issues! Hap Hap HAPPY with the appointment. :)

In 2 weeks we get to find out what we're having.. I'm soooo excited! :)

Hola!

Sooo much has been going on it's just nuts.. Let me see what I can update in the few minutes I have. :)

1. Work is just stupid busy and draining.. I don't even wanna get into it. Quite depressing and been a MAJOR point of depression for me lately.. :(

2. Li has a blast at Coco Keys a couple weeks ago with a girlfriend of mine, her fiance and their 3 boys.. Just a few pics. :)







Li's Coco Keys Video


3. Thanksgiving was a success!!  I was fearful that only one oven was going to ruin the day and making sure everything was good to go but, alas, it rocked. ;)  Here's some pics..

The Cleaning...




The Cooking.. (Yes, I'm watching Home Alone lol.. )



The Meal..




The Aftermath.. lol.. 




4. Baby J is actively moving! :)  I'm still not feeling a ton of movement but movement HAS been felt!  I can't wait until it's more regular. I haven't had but a touch of morning sickness since the morning I woke up at week 14 and I'm now 17+2. I think we're officially done!  I have an appointment tomorrow (16 week but will be 17+3) so I expect it to be uneventful.. and that's good. ;)  We moved our gender profile appt from Dec 21st to Dec 10th! :D WOOT!  Here's a pic I took the other day.. so sweet! Baby J will be here before we know it!!!!!!!!



5. We've started looking at furniture.. OMG it's setting in!!  I didn't have ANY money when I got pregnant with Li so I had a lot of hand me downs and assistance from family.. but things are different now.. holy cow it's expensive to buy everything! LOL!!  Here's the bed we're looking at.. isn't it just sweet!?!?!


6. I've started cooking again.. not that I ever did a ton of it.. but I made homemade Sugo (Pasta Sauce) last Sunday - I think it was? It was sooo stinking good!!


7. So a couple weeks ago, DH and I were laying in bed, watching the 37" TV.. and I mention to him "Wouldn't it be nice if we had the big TV up here to where we could actually see it?" The next day, it was in our room! LOL!!!  I asked him how long into "Wouldn't it be nice... " did he decide it was going to happen and he said immediately. HA! So now we watch TV on 55" every night. Not complaining AT ALL! :)


Honestly, that's about it! On to get the Christmas decorations up :) Fingers crossed that gets done today. hehe..

Welcome, welcome, November! :)

I can't believe how fall has simply flow by and we're well into our Harvest season!!Most days have shown the true colors of fall but ones like today have been super nice and actually a little "warm" if I dare. ;)

This past Saturday was a good time.. Mom and I took Li to go see Hotel Transylvania.. and it was UBER cute!!  A lot better than I thought. I'm glad I was feeling good because the mozzarella sticks that they sell at the movie theater sounded sooo good! lol.. But I was tired as heck.. not sleepy, just like, worn out.

Saturday night I was chillin at home with my hubbs and kid when I got this crazy craving for Hot Pepper Jelly. Only thing is that I would have to drive almost an hour away to get it.. they don't sell the one I was craving anywhere else that I'm aware of. I tried - honestly I tried!! lol - to fight the craving but failed miserably. lol.. I figured it was maybe God telling me to go see a friend of mine who was in the hospital just a few miles away so who was I to say no. hehe.. I left home around 5:30 and finally made it back around 8:30ish.. maybe closer to 9. And yes, it was SOOOO worth it.

I drove up and didn't see Li's bedroom light on.. opened the door into the hallway from the laundry room and didn't see the hubbs in our bedroom so I was wondering what those two were up to.. they were in the kitchen with their respective computers playing some Wizard game with each other. lol.. Made me smile, for sure! :)

Sunday wasn't too much of an anything day.. But I tell you what.. come Monday, I felt like DEATH!!!!!!!!! How was I puking my guts out at over 13 weeks pregnant!?!? REALLY???  Not to mention the poos that I had, too. Liquid.. really bad. :( Something was amiss, for sure. I ended up calling in - and a dang good thing. I was super sick ALL day. HUbbs was home from work that day as it was his last day off and I just crashed in bed.. I slept pretty much all day except about a 3-4 hour stretch that night from about 6-10ish...

From what I gathered via conversations with a bunch of FaceBook friends, this was more than likely a bug that I caught and not morning sickness / baby related. Which is good because I was NOT prepared to go through another how-ever-long with nausea so bad!  Come Tuesday morning I felt pretty bad but not like death worn over.

Tuesday was a long day at work.. Li had her annual allergist appt with the Dr. so I had to leave early for that but ended up going back to work and taking her with me because I just had too much to do for me NOT to go back and keep working on stuff with me having called in on Monday. I'll give my boss this... he's a jerk. A HUGE jerk.. but he's so good with kids! He.. well.. I'll let the pictures - and video!! - speak for them selves. :)




A QUICK VIDEO OF HER FUN! :)

AN EVEN QUICKER VIDEO OF HER FUN! LOL.. :)


Of course last night was Halloween... Li went as a Pink Power Ranger. She's such a tomboy! lol!!! We ended up going over to my uncles and visiting with them a while.. T-O-T'ed at a couple houses.. went and saw his mom and T-O-T'ed a few houses by her and decided to continue with our annual outing.. a trip to Applebees! YUMMY! :)  Here's some pics of her and one of my cousin who dressed up as Katy Perry. lol..







Today I woke up and honestly felt pretty decent!!!  I'm scared to say it but - knock on wood - MAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYBE I'm starting to exit the "nausea like crazy" neck of the woods???? :)
