Orange arms

This weekend I took my daughter to her 1st halloween party. She is very shy, so she didn't really play with the kids, but I would have to say that she had fun. Take a look at these pics. Notice the orange all over her arms.....my friend Nicki put together goody bags for the kids and there was a stamper inside of it so Morgan decided to stamp both her arms. There was also a set of vampire teeth that she put in Sunday morning to scare daddy, they barely fit in her mouth so she has a very goofy face . Notice again the orange all over her hands!! LOL, she loves the damn stamper.
We also took Morgan to the circus this weekend. I tried to take pics but you weren't supposed to use flashes, so my pics just came out black. Morgan enjoyed seeing the elephants and tigers, but got bored very quickly. I have to say I enjoyed the show the most out of all of us.

Just some updated pics

14 weeks + a car

So Tuesday I had my 14 week checkup. I am happy to say that I have not even gained a pound. But I do have a belly, so I am thinking that by eating healthier I am actually losing weight somewhere else and gaining it in belly (and boobs). Then the doc came in 45 minutes after my scheduled appointment time. damn doctors. He had a hard time finding the heartbeat at first or so I thought...todd said he kept getting it and the baby kept moving around. but i was too busy freeking out thinking something was wrong. But we finally heard it, which is a big relief for me. I am really nervous with this one, I am really crampy and it scares the hell out of me. I go back in 3 weeks for another checkup and the quad bloodwork. The dreaded quad bloodwork. This bloodwork tests for birth defects. It shouldn't be a scary process, but with Morgan it was, she came back with a risk of spina bifida. So I had an emergency ultrasound at 16 weeks to find out she was okay, but it is very scary when someone tells you that they think there is something wrong with the baby. But anyway she is here and perfect and every pregnancy is different. So I hope everything with that bloodwork goes okay. So the way it's looking right now I will have my big ultrasound exactly at 20 weeks, maybe a week early, because 20 weeks is the week of Thanksgiving. So we will see. I thinks it's a boy, but that just might be hope. Oh yeah, I know it's very early but about once a day I feel it move.

So anyway. yesterday i bought a new car. Actually my husband and I traded in both of our cars, for one. He has a truck that is paid off, and had a very high car payment with his car so we decided to save money we would just have one big car payment. It is a big car payment because he had a lot of in-equity in his car, so we had to add on like $12000 to the price of the new car. It is a 2008 Kia Sorento. I had a Sportage before so this is the bigger model. I LOVE it. Plus it is saving us over $150 a month in a car payment. And with a little one on the way we have to do what we can to consolidate everything we can.

Beautiful Weekend

I had a very event filled weekend this past weekend. It started off with a pampered chef party Friday night. I have to say I am no longer a pampered chef virgin. I wasn't able to buy anything just yet, but I will make sure I do especially cuz all the profits go to breast cancer.

Saturday my dad and I took my daughter to Disney on Ice down in Reading. The way down sucked major ass. We sat in traffic, my dad kept telling me how to drive....just a lovely 1 hour car trip. We actually missed the first couple minutes of the show, but I loved it, Morgan loved it too. She actually sat through the whole thing which is a definite first for her. The only shitty thing about that day was my airhead neighbor across the street backed into my dads car. Which kinda put a damper on the day.

Sunday......Sunday Todds dad came over to watch football. My fantasy team kicked ass again!!!! So I was happy that was until my beloved Cowboys came on. What the hell is happening to my team??? Tony Romo is now out for 4 weeks with a broken pinky (what a sis). And there are a lot of other key players out for a while too, but I won't bore you with their names. So there goes our chance at the playoffs. But anyway that was my wonderful funfilled, eventful weekend.

Just Cuz

She makes me smile. So here's some sunshine to brighten up your day!

October 3rd.....my birthday!

So I remember when I was a kid, I would count down the days to my birthday. Birthdays are not what they used to be. I don't count down the days anymore, especially this year. I turned the big 25 today...that's half way to 50. If I am having a hard time turning 25 what the hell am I going to do once I hit 30 (don't even want to think about it).

So my day went as follows....my dad came over at 11 with a card and a cute little birtday cake, no message on the cake or anything, in fact it was halloween colors, but it's the thought that counts. My dad and my daughter sang happy birthday to me, I have to say it was really cute. After my dad left I picked up my mom and she took me and Morgan out to lunch then to the mall to do some shopping. My first stop was Motherhood....yes I am 12 1/2 weeks pregnant and already have a belly and need maternity clothes, but who cares they are cute and comfy, but still it is way too early in my mind to be showing already. Spent way to much money on clothes, but I love them. Then we just walked around the mall for a while (i HATE the mall by the way) looking at different stores that have all the same stuff. I dropped my mom off and went home. Todd got me a nintendo ds for my b-day when we were in texas so i really wasn't expecting anything from him, but "morgan" bought me a very nice watch for my birthday, then my night was completed by going to Olive Garden...my favorite!!!

We are starting to think of baby names now, that's how we finished off the evening. I have my names picked out. Girl-Hannah or Leah, Boy-Ethan or Jacob. Todd likes Taylor for a girl and he hasn't come up with any boy names. We fought forever to decide on Morgan so hopefully I will just win this one, I really like the name Ethan for a boy and I feel deep down that that is what we will be having.
