due date number 1

Crazy to think that today is my 1st due date. Crazy to think that we could have a little infant in our house right now completely changing our lives. We would have a nursery, swings, carseats, no sleep :), etc. Me and my friend Jayme could be celebrating our little infants together! (and hopefully tyka soon too) I have too many due dates now to even keep track of. But I especially remember this first one. Today is my great gma kallal's bday, my cousin nathan's bday, and schylar's bday. A great day to celebrate life! I am trying my best to not constantly wonder what God's plan for me is... why? when? what do we do next? thinking about stopping for awhile sounded like the best plan, but then I think how we are so ready for this baby!! and so we stop trying for a few years then when we start again its back to drs and back on medicine and still possibly go through all this again!! I am having a hard time with that decision right now but I guess we will talk to our dr and make the best decision.

I have a big day ahead of me-Kim and I are making BLT dip and a peach pie, possibly getting pedicures, and laying by the pool. Then going to meet baby mason and celebrating mark's retirement before heading to my brother's big bday bash! Then the rest of the weekend is family time!! Love to all!

We had a wonderful time on our trip! We kept busy, but relaxed a lot too! Here are some of the things we did: ate A LOT, went to dixie stampede, walked around to lots of different shops, got an old time photo, took a sky lift thing above the city, golfed, ate A LOT more, shopped, drove through the mountains and took a walk up to a waterfall, saw bears and other wildlife, napped, played putt putt, and took a helicopter ride over the smokies. It actually only rained at night and in the early morning a few days, so we were lucky to have great weather the whole week. I'll try to post some pics soon.

I loved yesterdays sermon at church. It was about God answering prayers... you just have to ask. I'm praying!!!

Have a great day all! xo

wanna see the weather for our vaca??!

tv rules my life

whats your favorite show? my new favs are hot in cleveland and bethenny married. when a show makes me "LOL", its a keeper. of course i still love housewives of (any) county and kourtney and khloe take miami. gotta love sisters who wax/burn each others vaginas.

while i was laid up for the past few days, i came across some other crazy shows. toddlers and tiaras-holy crap! and today i forced tyson to watch this show called "i didnt know i was pregnant". who would have thought that there are so many women in the world who go through nine months of pregnancy and dont feel a thing. not even a kick? that show is a little unbelievable and definitely won't be on the dvr list anytime soon.

k now its time to lay down and watch chelsea lately. can you tell i havent met my goal of reading a few books this summer? :)

and things are looking up

after feel like death the past 2 days and not being able to break my fever once, i went to the er last night. they ran another strep test from the looks of my nasty throat, did a mono test, and some other stuff i dont remember. everything was negative so they said it is viral and to wait it out. im not sure if ive ever felt this bad when ive been sick. maybe b/c they are usually bacterial so an antibiotic helps.

today my temperature has only went up once and tylenol seemed to help. as of a few hours ago my throat feels a little better. still painful, but i dont have to brace myself every time i swallow. im hoping by tomorrow im a new woman. b/c trust me, i stink and look like death :) im gonna try to get some energy to get a shower in tonight, but man what a job it is. hopefully hub doesnt get this nastiness before or while we are on our trip next week! tennessee, here we come!! (as soon as i get my ass up to pack our bags)

anyone wanna come take care of me?

i have progressively gotten worse throughout the day. ive kept up with tylenol and had cold rags on me and my temp keeps on rising! i need my mommy. its always great to have a mommy waiting on you hand and foot and rubbing your hair. someone help!! :(

happy x 187!

today is a good day! minus some sickness. i woke up in the middle of the night with a temp and a large knot in my throat. went to the dr and they checked me for strep-negative thanks God! so they said probably a virus. fluids, tylenol, and salt water-yucko!!! im gonna try to relax all week and feel better before our trip this weekend :) i have nothing to do but one of my jobs on thursday! waiting for my honey to get home and snuggle on the couch with me!!! :) hope everyone has a great day! xo

so much to do, so little time

ive got so much to do before tomorrow!!! and im gonna take a nap. the past 2 mornings i have had to get up reeeeally early so naps have been necessary both days. and race day is tomorrow and ive only ran 1 day this week. i think i might just do the walk now though b/c my knee has been hurting. well lets hope after a nap i can get energy to go get food and get things prepared for party day tomorrow! and my husband will be home tonight :) he has been at training for a few days out of town so it will be nice to smooch his face. i hope everyone has a great weekend! and hopefully baby russell will come this weekend too :)

progesterone is so fun

new side effects i am developing: nausea and gas (boy did my mom and sis love me today) and fatigue and a fun rash!! the rash started a few days ago and we thought maybe it was a heat rash or something, but its all over my arms now. and my body is always itching. i read that these are all side effects so no worries. ill fight thru them. yippee. lets wait and see what else happens to my body. happy birthday rita pita pumpkin eata!

my cute niece

oh no!!

its supposed to rain next saturday which is my mommy's party day!! and my 5k and tysons golf tourney. im not gonna lie, i wouldn't be sad if it rained enough that tyson couldn't golf but it was sunshiny for the party and he could be at the party all day. :) lets hope the forecast changes though just to be safe!! happy 4th everyone!!!
