Sleep: Still extremely tired, and take multiple naps during the day.
Best moment this week: Having my husband go to my first Dr.'s appointment with me.
Miss Anything? Eating what I want with out getting sick.
Movement: None.
Food cravings: It depends on what will make me sick or not. I have loved Oreo shakes the most. 
Anything making you queasy or sick: Mostly everything, still have a hard time with soda, which is fine, Ice water is my best friend anyways! Last night I thought I was going to puke, went to the bathroom, sat there for a minute and as soon as Dusty said "Onion" I started puking! ugh....onions the word, seeing them or smelling them makes me so SICK!

The Dr.'s appointment went well! The first appointment is always a little awkward but its always nice to hear him say that my uterus is slightly enlarged like it should be and so far everything looks great!  I always start to panic the next 4 weeks until I hear the heart beat, so I am hoping I will still be sick, even though it is miserable at least I know everything is still going okay if my symptoms are still in tact!

POSITIVE POSITIVE POSITIVE!!!

I am finally pregnant! I know I said that I would wait until this weekend to take a test but when I woke up this morning I just didn't feel right at all, a little cramping, nausea, and extremely tired....so on my lunch break I decided to go to the hospital for a blood test, 45 minutes later I called and they told me positive! Of course I started crying and kept asking them if they were sure....hung up and called my husbands boss a zillion times because my husbands phone was off. Told my husband and he started freaking out, he is so so excited!! I am so so excited! Still in shock, so after work I decided to take a urine test just to see the positive for reals, right in front of me....sure enough it was positive!! I am due October 15, 2012. We couldn't be more excited to be adding another beautiful baby to such a loving and wonderful family!! My parents know and are just as excited as we are....we are going to wait a while before we start telling other people and of course Dusty's family....I am sure they will come up with some smart ass comment about our baby not being Dusty's since he has been out of town.....ugh I just don't want them to ruin our excitement!!

11 Months and we are finally pregnant!!

Fingers Crossed!

Not a lot has gone on since my last post....but just wanted to write a little.  This will be the week that I either start ms flo or find out that I am going to have baby # 2! I am hoping for the second one but have come to terms that it may not happen.  I am okay either way.  But I am def hoping for # 2! I haven't been having any early ms flo symptoms, well at least I don't think so.... I have been working out this last week so I can't tell if my breast have been menstrual sore or working out sore...but they haven't felt menstrual at all and the pain went away the same day that the rest of my body quit aching! I usually get really bad lower back pain and haven't had that at all! Wahoo! I am also extremely tired!! 9:30pm hits and I am ready for bed and am out as soon as I hit the pillow....but that could also be my new schedule getting to me....idk I really don't want to get my hopes up here but it just seems pretty legit that I could finally be prego this time!! Keeping my fingers (and legs) crossed for some good news this week!

A little update....

Life has been extremely busy the last few weeks! I have been working two jobs, on Saturdays I work at Fast Trax in Santaquin, and on Monday, Tuesday and Friday's I work at Dr. Behrmann's office as a Medical Assistant. I love both jobs and if def feels so good to be working and on a schedule!

B started speech therapy today and did wonderful! Her teacher was so surprised at how fast she caught on and thinks that she will be right at her age level quicker than we originally thought. wahoo!! that is amazing news. She is so ready to learn and grow up, I feel a little torn....so happy that she is learning and growing, but sad that she is no longer my sweet little baby cakes!

Dusty is still working in Nevada, but no longer in Battle Mountain. He is in Crescent Valley and doesn't have cell reception so I don't get to talk to him often. :( We are trying to find him another job here in Utah that either pays the same or another job that he still will travel with but will make a lot more money. We are basically giving Ames (his current company) a chance to make things right. They need to pay for his trailer spot, power and propane. If the refuse to do so like they did when he first went out there and about 4 weeks ago he will quit and go to Rees'.  I have a huge feeling that it's not going to happen and we will be switching jobs, but it is what it is and he shouldn't have to work for a company who treats him like garbage.  He deserves to be taken care of if he goes out of town. That is what MOST company's do for their employees!

On a lighter note, I am hoping that I am pregnant this month but not keeping my fingers crossed. I am probably not but it's a nice thought.  I guess we will know in about a week whether or not I am!

Taking a Break

I am a little late on posting. Not this time....I was so sure I would be pregnant with my husband home all month of December, but I guess God has different plans for us.  Surprisingly I am okay. I didn't cry and don't plan on it.  I recently told my husband that I am not going to beat myself up over having another baby and when it happens it will happen.  It's still hard to see people I know posting on Facebook that they are pregnant and seeing people I know cute and pregnant. I want it so bad but have come to terms that it may not happen when I want it to or even at all.  At least I have one beautiful baby girl that keeps me busy, who I love more than life itself. 

So when it happens it happens.  I am not going to beat myself up over this and I am DONE stressing about it every single month for the last year!

Life Happens Fast

So much has happened these last few weeks.  Dusty came home for B's birthday and while he was getting ready to head back to Nevada for a week before his Christmas break he got a call and was told to stay here in Utah.  What a nice surprise it was to have him home for an extra week! We were lucky enough to spend 3 wonderful and fast weeks with him.  B especially enjoyed having her daddy here!
B was a very good girl last year and Santa Clause sure agreed! She was one spoiled little girl!

I got a call for a job interview and got hired on the spot! I started my first day of training on the 30th of December at 5 am....till 5 pm. What a long day that was! I was feeling very uneasy about the whole situation, working 12 hour shifts, being away from B for so long was even harder specially with her Dad living in Nevada I didn't feel like she was going to adjust very well.  The second day of training I broke down and decided this wasn't something that was going to work for our family. B agreed.  The whole time I was working she would say over and over again "Dad where's my mom? I miss my mom. I want my mommy to be home with me." Broke my heart that she was missing me so much.  So I quit.  I guess I will feel at ease when I find the right job that works with our situation.  If not, than at least I tried and we will make do. 

A couple of days ago my landlords called and said they would like to sell the house and if are interested in buying than we will go ahead and agree on a price and move forward with that.  Well they don't even know what they want for it, which is frustrating because we have already been pre-approved, and the mortgage company is just waiting for a sale price to take to the lender.  I called the landlords to make an offer and hopefully agree on something and they wouldn't accept my offer, they want a lot more than we feel is appropriate for a twin home, not to mention they refused to pay closing costs.....I may be confused but I thought the sellers usually pay the closing costs?? Oh well.  I told them that they can go ahead and put the house up for sale and in the meantime we will find a place to buy and I will let them know of the date we will be leaving.  They didn't like that idea and wanted to discuss this further in February.  AHH! Don't tell me that you want to sale your house but you have no idea what to list it at or even what the home is worth! Maybe in a month or two we will know more of what they want to do and with that what we want to do.

B finally went in for her preschool testing with the district! The testing they do determines what services she qualifies for.  I have one smart little girl! She doesn't qualify for free preschool (which is what I was hoping for!) but she does have speech issues that she will need to see a speech therapist twice a week if not more.  I am so excited that she will finally be getting some help! I will finally be able to understand her more, and since she doesn't shut up it will be nice to know what she is actually saying!

I need to get pics uploaded on here, but since I take all my pics and video through my phone I haven't quite figured out how to do it yet.  Once I can get it figured out I will post pics!
