O you gotta love workin' at a POOL!!!!

So here I am sittin' at work and, well I work at a swimming pool!!!! So these little young middle school/ high school age boys think it is so FUN to run around the lobby in their speedo's!!! BAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA
it just makes my whole day!!!

(is that real??? or are you padding???)
I remember being young once and well hey you know what they say.....IF YOU GOT IT FLAUNT IT!!!!!!

That was...not so bad!

OK I did it, I went to the store and used the WIC vouchers! It was just as awful for me as it was for Jeff, ha ha I made him go with me no way I was doin' that alone! It wasn't very complicated, I made sure I read it six times so I didn't have to pull them out and check, plus I made a list of what was on them lol! We got it all went to the check out at the lady was super helpful, I did grab the wrong OJ, peanut butter, and qt of milk lol!!! But she was nice and Jeff ran back and got the right stuff so no harm no foul, I just better remember for next month ;)! So all that stress and it really wasn't that awful, oh well I had good reason right!!! Much Love >.<

PRIDE?!?!?

Okay so I know that there are resources out there to help people in need with the whole pregnancy thing. Well, I swallowed my "PRIDE" today and went in and applied for WIC. I sat in the car for a good 10 minutes outside the building trying to talk myself into going in. I have never been one to take hand outs or anything, not that it's a bad thing, but I am just to proud of a person I guess. (I had a even harder time going into planned parenthood for birth conrtol lol!) I know there is really nothing wrong with taking help from where you can get it, but I was watching some of the people going in and out and I kept thinking to myself, "You are not like that, what are you doing here?" Finally I pull it together and in I go, we qualified, so now my dilemma is...using them!! Baahahaha I am so crazy sometimes, I just don't want people to look at me and think why is she on WIC she doesn't need it, but really it will help! Now I refuse to jip the system and not work (take a month or 2 of maternity leave) just so I can get Medicaid to pay for my child, I do have insurance and I plan on paying my fair share. (Amanda you know who I am talking about lol) Just to be clear there is absolutely nothing wrong with using the helpful resources, as long as you actually need them!!! If we didn't have insurance I would again swallow my pride and apply for Medicaid, every little bit helps :) My next trip to the grocery store is sure to be an adventure. I promise to post about how I handle the whole process, that is if I grow the balls to make into the store lol! Much Love >.<

Open mouth, Insert Foot!!!

I am pretty sure I have been told this statement a billion times in my life, yet I never will learn! I guess that's what I get for being strong willed and determined and passionate! So I am sometimes overly protective of the things that matter most to me, Jeff, my Family, My close friends, and so on. Well it just so happens that I opened my mouth and am now inserting my foot! I, referring back to the venting post, do not like to see Jeff put down, or not appreciated, and so on. So I say something, well me saying something leads to Jeff being thrown out on his ass, so to speak! Turns out he is no longer playing USSSA tourneys with SVS and when he tried to contact them about Monday night, no one returned his calls or text, looks like he is no longer playing league either. So the times comes to move on, he's sad cause he will miss his "buddys", but what do you do, My bad! But on the plus side, less money we have to spend in gas and stuff playing softball every Monday and every other weekend, and more time for the three of us!!!! Plus there are a few teams who keep asking him to play with them and he is playing Tuesday nights up here, so he will still get his softball fix! But on the down side, he wants to take up GOLF, yep you read correctly I said GOLF. I guess you can get a handicap (baaahahahaha) card and play then turn it in and they have golf tournaments you can play in! I thought I was getting of the hook, WTF!!! At least in golf it's a singles sport so I will be "opening mouth and inserting foot" a lot less he he he he he he he he he he he!!!! "Gotta  love the life you live or it ain't worth livin'!!" I love my life and I am going to keep on livin' it just the way I am! ;) Much Love >.<

Another Dr. appt down!!!

On Monday April 18, 2011 we went in for our second doctors appointment. At our last one on the 14th of March, he told us we could maybe see the sex of the baby! We were kinda excited, cause 15 weeks is early to see, but hey what do we know. Well we get to our appointment, and no such luck, I new it was to good to be true!! Lol So no ultrasound this time but, baby is doing GREAT!!!! The heartbeat is normal about 158 BMP, the growth is right on, and my blood pressure is good! However, before I got or new I was pregnant I had my surgery and was trying to lose weight, well coupled with morning sickness and my lack of eating cause I can't I have lost 26 pounds AWESOME RIGHT, well not so much when you are in your second trimester :( So the doctor said I really need to watch myself and start gaining weight baaahahahaha so much for all that hard work lol!!!!! Other than all that the morning sickness is passing, or so it seems, and other than being tired and achy all the time I am good! Oh and the bonus news we are for sure finding out on......MAY 17th............That's the best Birthday present ever, and he said if we bring in a DVD +R we can have a recording of it!! :) I am super excited that is only 4 weeks away and time has been flying, thank goodness!!!! So till next time Much Love >.<

Venting!!!

I really hate DRAMA! I have never been a girly girl love the drama type. But I am the type that will stand up for what I think is right, and I won’t back down till I get my way or my point is proven. Which brings me to the past couple days…. Everyone knows Jeff is a softball addict, he play Monday night, soon to start Tuesday nights, and every other weekend or sometimes every weekend. So he is on this team and there is a tournament this weekend, but some reason he is told he won’t be playing or if he does his time will be limited, and that another person who has NEVER played a tournament with them will be playing over him. As his wife I don’t love to see people push him around, he never likes to start conflicts or stand up for himself, which is where I come in!! Nothing pisses me off more than when a person spends money to play with a team and does everything he can to help that team with its goals only to have an amazing life changing thing happen to him which results in him not being able to attend worlds, so all of the sudden he is no longer an asset or for that matter a person to pay any mind to. HELLO, he drives his ass back and forth from cedar city every Monday night, gas isn’t cheap mind you, and he is more than willing to play any position you ask of him. Not to mention when we should be saving for a child, we are spending to travel here there and everywhere for tournaments and do you think that the “team” so much as shows any type of gratitude or appreciation, nope what happens Jeff gets shunned. It’s so amazing to me, you think all these people are your friends, well his friends, and look what happens!!! I am so over it, I am to the point where playing with people who can’t respect him or appreciate him is OVER!!! There are several other teams, who would love for Jeff to come play with them, not because he is the greatest ever, but because he is an amazing funny out there guy who loves to play ball and have a god time doing it! Seriously its EEEFFFING softball, relationships with friends should be valued more than who can hit bombs every time they get up or off of how much money they have! I am pregnant and hormonal and when you fu*k with my husband in anyway you GET ME!!!! I seriously kinda really want him to play with another team, all this DRAMA is so stupid, and I’m over it! I hope people can figure it all out, or it’s Bye Bye for us!

Prego Journal!!

Okay Okay!!! So here it is the few quick points that I wrote about up until this point!!!
February 4, 2011: I was 1 week late on my period, so Jeff and I were in the Dollar store and he said how about we buy one and just see.......I took it and it came back POSITIVE!!! My reaction: No Way, this is from the dollar store how do we even know it works??

February 5, 2011: We went to Wal-mart and decided to buy a better one just to be sure.......It came back POSITIVE!!!! I was still shocked and I wasn't sure lol


February 6, 2011: We had our friends Kim and Anna over to watch the Superbowl. I was sittin' in my recliner and I said " I am so freakin' tired and today I was helpin' Jeff cut some wood and the chainsaw smelt like it was burning and the smell was awful" instantly Anna looked at me and said "You're PREGNANT, aren't you" lol my face gave it all away, I turned bright red and could hide my smile! So Kim and Anna and Jesse were the very first to know!!!



February 11, 2011: We went to the Cedar City Institute of Women's Health and took another Test just to be sure, they offer free ones and I have heard a lot of good things about the doctors there! Guess what...it came back POSITIVE!!! We set our first appointment for "10 weeks" which was March 14, 2011! I guess right after we took that test at the doctors office...Jeff told Steve and I had no clue!! I was keepin' it a secret cause that's what we decide! We were going to stay hush hush about it till April 1st!!!
 February 16, 2011: The HELL of morning sickness begins. :( I HATE throwing up and can I just tell you morning, noon, and night I was so sick!
 February 18, 2011: We had a softball tourney in St. Geezy, so we dropped off the dogs at Grandma and Grandpa's and broke the news to them!! Dad was excited, Mom was well shocked lol. Then we stayed at Amanda and Adam's and we told them cause well I couldn't hide the fact that I was throwing up when I woke up!! Lol



February 21, 2011: Was the worst day ever, I was so so so so so so so so sick! I could leave my "thrown" I had to call into work and I told them it was the flu lol, well Jeff did I was to busy barfing my brains out



March 2, 2011: Jeff told his parents and made a bet with his dad that Jeff couldn't keep his mouth shut and not tell his siblings till the first. The bet a round of golf lol



March 4, 2011: A few more people found out!!!! We had another softball tourney and so we stayed with my sister Tanya!! I had to explain to her why I couldn't enjoy a nice glass of wine with her lol so we told her and the kids!! SHE FREAKED OUT, she was so overly excited it wasn't even funny! That night I slipped slightly assuming that Michele knew cause Steve knew lol my bad, and then somehow we told Mo and Ethan!!! ;)



March 14, 2011: We had our first doctor’s appointment!!! I was so scared and nervous and excited it wasn't even funny! Jeff he was just chill, if he was scared or nervous he didn't show it! We answered questions and got all checked out! I am healthy which means baby should be too!! After all the questions they did a pelvic exam and an ultrasound! It was so sweet to see the baby MOVING ALL AROUND (O great, hopefully it gets that out of its system) and to hear the heartbeat!! The length and size were right on for 10 weeks and the heart rate was a little fast which according to the nice nurse tends to mean... boy!!! Guess we will find out!!! Later that night at softball another person found out...I guess I should watch what I say! I was talking to Amanda about the awful sickness and stuff and wouldn't ya know Dane over heard me (or his girlfriend did) and later he text Jeff and said Congrats bro Liz is pregnant isn't she lol!!! Better watch what I say and around who or I might get in big trouble! By the way our Dr. is Dr. Sanders, he was super nice!!!



March 16, 2011: Today I decided to tell work, I was planning on telling Bob, but he wasn't in that day, so I told Ruth!!! She was way excited for us and I asked if she would keep it a secret just till the 1st! She said sure and then she asked if I was still planning on working and I was like yep at least till I can't anymore! Then she asked if I would like to come back after I told her I would love too!!! :)



The next few weeks were slow going, still throwing up everyday and what not so it sucked!



March 30, 2011: I didn't think it would be nice to have my sister Cassie find out off of facebook or something like that so Jeff and I called her and told her and the boys! The boys were super excited and can't wait, Cas was excited too! She said she was going up north over the weekend and she would tell our brother Steven and his family for me! Yay one less person to call ;)



April 1, 2011: THE BIG DAY!!!! We have been planning this for months now! I couldn't let the opportunity to fool everyone pass me by!!! At 6ish am Jeff got up and posted on his wall and mine that we were havin' a baby!!! I made sure the night before I put my phone on silent so I didn't have to get woken up super early!! Sure enough when I woke up around 9 my poor phone had a dozen texts lol!!! So many people were like "Congrats....then a little later.....You guys are jerks" ha ha ha some people just didn't believe us at all like Nellie, and some just went with it not realizing what day it was!!! All in all it was a great success!!!! Some people I had to tell again the next day cause they just wouldn't believe us, guess they know us a little to well ;)



The past few days have been pretty much the same, I am still throwing up and life is just dandy! I have noticed my belly is "fat" I don't know if it's baby fat or just me bloated and my belly fat is stickin' out ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!



So here is a little background everyone asks!!!!


Yes we were trying. I stopped taking birth control back in September when my last pack ran out! In December I had my gallbladder surgery which we were nervous would affect us getting pregnant for a little bit, so not the case, the next month I got pregnant! Jeff and I believe that it was important for me to get that taken care of before we got pregnant! My last period was December 31, 2010 which means our due date is October 7, 2011! Yes I have been oh so super sick and it sucks, my boobs hurt like no other for about a month, now they are a little tender but not to bad! The main reason we waited to tell everyone was because we weren't sure if the chances of a miscarriage where higher, because I got pregnant so soon after my surgery or not, and the 1st trimester is scary anyways so we waited till it was over!!! I don't really care a whole lot about what we have, I think a boy first would be nice then a girl second, so the big brother can take care of his baby sister, however I can't pick and choose so I am happy either way! As for Jeff...he wants a boy lol but he says we will just be happy with whatever the good lord gives us!!! :)






I will try to keep little updates here and there at least when important notable things happen! Much Love >.<

Our 1st Anniversary!!

This past weekend was Jeff and I's first anniversary!! On Friday we went down to St. Geezy and went to dinner at Chili's, my favorite and it was super yummy, and then we went to a Terri Clark concert, also my favorite!!!! The concert was so so so so so so so good, it was all acqustic so it was just her and her guitar! I loved it and afterwards we got to meet her and I got my picture taken with her! ;)

It was the best 1st anniversary a girl could ask for!!! Thanks Babe!!! >.<

Big News!!

Well it's official!!!! Jeff and I are expecting a baby around October 7th!!! It has been harder to keep from blogging about it than it has been for me to keep my mouth shut lol!!! So I have been keeping a little journal of sorts along the way so I can post it on the blog, not today though cause I am a little overwhelmed with all the madness of people not believing us and stuff!!! It was pretty funny to have people be like "congrats, o wait are you kidding" or "no you aren't it's all a big joke" then I say see look at the pics of the ultrasound, I can't fake that :) what a fun day!!!!!!

This is from our first appointment on March 14, I was 10 weeks and 3 days! Our next appointment is the 18th and hopefully the baby is in a good position so we can tell what we are having!!!! Maybe tomorrow I will post the journal?!?! Much love >.< And no this is not an April fools joke, Jeff and I just thought it would be so funny to see how many people didn't believe us!!! The story will still be the same tomorrow!!!! :)
