short and sweet

I know I already mentioned this but... I LOVE CHRISTMAS. i have pine scented candles burning almost constantly while i listen to Christmas music on pandora. ahhh pandora.

I still need to work on my christmas shopping. funny how i had all this money and did all this shopping on black friday yet, i only bought a few gifts and the rest was decorations and lights for my house. Hopefully after today's trip to the mall (yikes- we are braving all the crazies out there) I will feel a little more satisfied with my progress on that long list.

baby is doing great. he kicks me all day and i love the reassurance that he's happy and feeling fine. i'll be 26 weeks on monday.

i've been thinking about staying at home when i have the baby versus working. I'd really appreciate all of your input on this because it's nice to have different points of view on this. I think i've mostly made my decision but I'd still like to hear what you think.

hi.

I made some headbands for my boss to give her daughter for her bday. They turned out great!

Fall decor...

This was my belly at 17 weeks

Sadie's Halloween costume :)


I got a promotion at work.
I'm currently 22 1/2 weeks pregnant.

and that's the end for now.

This week!

So I'm at least getting to a weekly post. eh? eh?

Haven't done much with my door yet. I took off the handles which was quite a feat actually because whoever painted this stupid door painted it with like 5 layers of paint over the handles and all of the screws. So we had to basically chip through the paint just to find the screws and then peel things off. And somewhere a saw was involved courtesy of El Guapo.

I want to finish it. I do... but now that I have to sand it all down and repaint it, I am dragging my feet a little.

I busted out my fall decor! Sooo exciting. I love fall and winter. I am already saving for Christmas!!!! Which really, isn't far away so don't give me that "really?" look. Think about it, all of the great deals are on Black Friday, which is a whole month before christmas so really, I'm only two months away. And I'm determined to save up my money this year so I can spend more on lights!

Last year we only bought TWO strings of lights which brought us to a total of a whopping five strings altogether. UNacceptable. I'd rather spend more on decorations and lights than on presents. {SERIOUSLY}. I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!

Anyways, fall has made an appearance at my house. I think I'll take some pictures but really, it's pretty low key right now because I wanted to gradually build it all up to Thanksgiving where it will {hopefully} be cooler out and I can wear my UGGS!

UGGs, yet another thing that I am obsessed with.

Ask anyone, I would (and most of the time do) wear my UGGs 24/7 365. So comfy and warm and perfect and $20 bucks at last chance since my feet are kids sized! Trust me, if you got a deal like that, you'd wear them all the time too.

Anyways...that's it for now :)

I know

Ok ok I know. Jennie told me that I've had my sick month and I need to blog again. And it's true. I do. So I am.

Baby update:

Soooo I am officially 12 weeks and 5 days today. Just squeezing into that second trimester which will hopefully bring less nausea and more energy! I've already had my first ultrasound at 8 weeks and everything is looking swell:

Baby looks kinda blob-y but if you look closely, the head is on the right, arms are straight up and legs are out to the left. {And my suspicions were that perhaps there were two little babies in there- in which I was totally wrong of course :) That's ok though. I'd rather take it one at a time for the first few little ones.}

I had another doctor's appointment yesterday and was able to hear the heartbeat on the doppler- which I never realized would be such a relief! I was holding my breath, just waiting and hoping that everything was fine and the second I heard it, it was amazing.

Everything is going great, however they did notice that my thyroid levels are low on my bloodwork. Meaning that me being excessively tired, wanting to sit and do nothing all weekend, and being tired after getting 9+ hours of sleep every night isn't just from being pregnant and working full time!!

So ha! HA to that. Because I've felt really bad for not blogging due to my lack of projects and laziness. But now you can't blame me. HA!

Anyways, here I am back in action. I was able to clean my house today yayyy. And now I'm finally going to do something about that door that has been sitting! I will post about it later. Maybe tomorrow.

:) That's the update for now. Miss you all! Come say hi.

sick

Don't want to be a {Debbie Downer} but I have been sooooo sick.

sick

sick

Throwing up at home.
Throwing up at work.
Throwing up in my mouth while driving. (bet you wanted to know that)

Thankfully, I went to my new OB today and got a prescription for some Zofran. Plus she told me to take b6 3 times a day so we will see how that goes.

I'm 6 weeks and 4 days along :) I have a few (good) suspicions but we will just have to wait and see. I am lucky and get to have an ultrasound done next week. Yay. At least it will all be worth it :)

Hairs to you

I don't know about you, but my husband and I try and keep up the little romantic things in our marriage...
well, at least I do ;)

{Yesterday was a failed attempt}

So, the husband and I decided to be romantic and take a relaxing bubble bath. We like to do this a lot and it helps us unwind as we talk about our day or life in general. As he is getting ready I'm lighting the few candles in our room and one in the corner of the tub to help create the "mood" if you will.

He gets in and messes around with the water temperature while I put some clothes away in the closet. No biggie.

As I am in the closet I hear a "ahh ahh ahhh!" and run out to see my husband dunked under the water. I am panicking, looking around to try and see what happened as he shakes his head under the bubbles. A horrible smell hits my nostrils right as he surfaces and yells "MY HAIR CAUGHT ON FIRE!". He then turns around and says "there is a candle over there!". I respond...."umm yeah, just like it has been for the past month".

Needless to say the mood was ruined, and the bath water was drained due to the floating pieces of hair that were burned off of my poor hubby's head.





Luckily, there is not a bald spot to be found and now we can {kindof} look back and laugh at it. {well mostly just me laughing}
