16 Week Pics

So here are my pics from 16 weeks. Hope you like them.

How I felt mentally & physicalled in week 15:

I had (& have) a yeast infection so that really sucked!!! I went to Vegas & went home early b/c I was the most sick I've been in this pregnancy. My face (forehead) is still broken out & I don't think that it is going to go away anytime soon (boo!). Other than that I felt pretty damn good. I bought the baby it's first gift since being pregnant. I bought it a little shirt from "House of Blues" at the hotel we stayed at in Vegas. It is really cute & small! I have been more tired & cranky I've noticed lately. I also feel pretty overwhelmed by my dirty house, dirtpile backyard & shitload of work at work. I am hoping a cleaning fairy visits my house & organizes everything, I think I need to continue dreaming. Oh I did have my first weird pregnancy dreams last week. I had three dreams, but one was about a guy I worked w/ (weird).

So the car looks good, I don't think the issues are going to be that big of a deal, so I am quite relieved.

Hope all is well with you all. I heard something on the radio today about Ben Affleck & Jennifer Garnier on the rocks maybe. I really like them together, so I hope it was a rumor!

Have a great night.

Quick Update

So my trip to Vegas ended up not being exactly what I'd hoped for. I got really sick, super nauseous, and dehydrated. I think that the heat (almost 110 degrees), the traveling, the change of sleeping & eating schedules & even the altitude really affected my little pregnant self. I was pretty miserable & an emotional wreck. I luckily talked Jeremy into changing my flight & I came home Saturday. Home had never felt so good. I felt bad about leaving, but it was worth it. The other girls had a blast though. It always surprises me each time I go how generous men are there. I swear those girls didn't have to pay for more than maybe 2 drinks in the whole almost 4 days they were there. Guys are so silly, I guess they really like their eye candy.

Anyway, we got the car, and the check engine soon light has already come on. I am taking it in tomorrow to get a complete check-up & hopefully everything goes well, and I can relax. Because right now I am nervous that Jeremy & I are getting ready to learn some life lesson in buying cars, and I am really hoping that is not the case. I hope that we made a good choice & that it will all work out, we'll see I guess.

I went to the doctor today b/c I have a yeast infection, YUCK!!! Just the name even grosses me out. She prescribed me something, b/c the over the counter stuff hasn't been helping. We'll see what this does. I am ready to not be so itchy!!!

Okay, I think that is it. Hope all is well w/ you guys!!!

Vegas here I come

So I am off to Vegas tomorrow & can't wait, but trying to get so much work & life done before then has been EXTREMELY stressful today. I attached a pic of the SUV that I think will be mine by Monday. I finally convinced Jeremy of a Pathfinder, but he really liked the newer model, so I gave in to that. Right now we are just figuring out price. I really hope this works out b/c I am so ready for a new car. Nancy, I know you said that the Pathfinder sucks for leg room, I tried to get in the back seat & feel it out, but didn't have a car seat. What year do you have?

Anyway, I am excited to be out of Missouri, but know I will miss Jerm. I have been more homesick recently when I am away from home. I also tend to get really uncomfortable when I am anywhere & I know I am stuck there. For example, I don't really like clubbing w/ anyone other than Jeremy b/c I feel like I am stuck there for the night, when I am the girl that likes to leave early and get to bed. With Jerm there I know he will go home when I ask or soon after. Anyway, I think I just am more comfortable when I don't feel trapped. I know I will have fun though. I think I won't go out w/ my friends but one night b/c I don't think that I would have that much fun, waiting in line, paying cover & standing around sober to drink water. Nope, doesn't sound like much fun to me. But a nice warm bath in our huge jacuzzi tub sounds much better!!!

I really hope I can write on Monday & say I have a new car, but we'll see. We are also finally getting one of our trees in our backyard removed Monday. We have been talking about it for awhile & we finally got everything scheduled. I am ready to have our backyard done & that is one step in the right direction!!!

How I felt Week 15:

Mentally & Physically:

Getting better. Last week (still am) was struggling w/ a yeast infection I believe, so I was a little uncomfortable. I also was nervous because the heart rate on the fetal Doppler dropped to about 150 & my boobs felt smaller after all these weeks, so I was nervous about that too. I finally called the doctor yesterday & she said I was fine & started me on Monistat 3, so hopefully that works b/c I am sick of being so uncomfortable. I am still really broken out on my forehead. That started I think after the miscarriage & hasn't gone away. Hopefully it will disappear after the baby is born.

Okay, I think that is it, I will maybe post in Vegas, but maybe not, so have a good weekend.

Help Needed!!!

So I am looking for a car (SUV) to replace our hot rod Satty and need your help. I have found a Pathfinder that I love but I am having a hard time convincing Jeremy. He is on an American car kick, which I completely understand, however, I first & formost want the car I want, and then I want to support the American cars. And if they go hand & hand, great, but if not, I really want the car I want. (sorry if I offended anyone there, not my intentions, I support our troops & want to keep jobs in America, however, it isn't my #1 priority in this decision process) Anyway, I have listed some cars below that we are looking at. Please comment back with good & bad things about the cars. I really want to make an informed decision when purchasing our car. Just an FYI, we are looking for a used car (2004-2007), below $15,000.

Nissan Pathfinder

Ford Escape

Jeep Commander

Jeep Grand Cherokee

Toyota 4Runner

Mitsubishi Montero Sport

Trailblazer



This weekend was good, I have decided that I eat way to much at meals & am miserable afterwards. I really need to stop doing that!!!

Have a good day & thanks for your help!

YEAH FRIDAYS!

I love Fridays, that make you feel so good. I get to leave work in about 10 minutes so I am especially excited.

Don't have much to say today, except for have a great weekend!

I posted a pic of my hair that I cut off, I forgot to post it sooner.

Feeling much better

My doctor appt. went well yesterday like I said. I remembered yesterday we forgot to take pics on Monday for 14 weeks, so we took them yesterday. I have attached them. I looked at all the weeks starting at 6 weeks & it doesn't look like much growth, but in person, you can definitely tell a baby bump is growing!!!

No luck in finding a car yesterday, we have to keep looking.

My IT guy fixed my wireless Internet so now Jeremy & I after months of waiting can watch TV & be on the computer. He is so excited, I think I am going to ask for a back rub for this one.

My back has been killing me the last couple days, I am miserable. Jeremy rubbed my back last night, but I don't think anything would make this feel better except for a 24/7 massage!!!

How I felt in Week 13:

Mentally:

Better, each week I have begun to relax. We received our fetal Doppler in the mail during this week & so that helped that I can listen to the heart rate at any time. I actually didn't even freak out the days before my doctor's appointment which was a first. I am starting to really enjoy this.

Physically:

Good. Tired a bit, but not too bad. Boobs still sore, but not that bad. Worst is waking up in the middle of the night or in the morning. I have been wearing a bra or sports bra to bed every night for the past 2 weeks or so, b/c my sisters & mom told me to. Hope that sounds normal. I wasn't large chested before I got pregnant so I don't think I would sag too much, but I would rather not sag at all after this process.

Well I have to stay late at work tonight, but I will hopefully get to take off on Friday so its worth it!

Have a great night!

All is well on the HOST front

So I had my doctor's appointment today & all went well. He used the doppler & heard the baby's heartrate. He used it right where we were & so that made me feel better. I go in in another 4 weeks & then 3 weeks after that I will find out the sex. I can't wait, I am so pumped.

Today has been pretty good, I have got a lot accomplished. I went home sick yesterday b/c I was so darn tired after our night w/ the tree on the car. I ended up not even going to the concert. I just needed sleep. I can feel a head cold coming on too, my throat has been sore the last couple days & I just feel kind of crappy.

Anyway, not much else to say here.

Have a good night! We are going car shopping.
