FIRST ULTRASOUND!!!!

So yesterday finally came....the day I could have my first ultrasound to rule out my pregnancy being ectopic. The nurse showed me where the baby was in my uterus and the little heartbeat. I almost started to cry I was so happy that it's not an ectopic. I've been praying every day several times a day that this pregnancy will be a healthy one and that my baby will be fine. And it looks as though my prayers have been answered!

The nurse said the heartbeat was a little slow and the baby is really small for me being 6 1/2 weeks, she said I might be earlier than we're thinking which since I ovulate late in my cycle she said that would make sense and that I'll just come back in 2 weeks for another ultrasound and we should be able to get some better pictures at that appt.

I wore all PINK during the appt.....and plan on wearing pink to all my ob/gyn appts in hopes for a girl! =0) We'll see if that works or not ha ha!

I'm back from DISNEYLAND!!!!!

Well we got back Sunday night from Disneyland...still haven't finished unpacking everything (we had so much stuff packed you'd think we were there a few months!)
We had a great time even though I couldn't really ride many of the rides my family went on cause of being pregnant but I just love being at the Happiest Place On Earth so I didn't mind. I probably rode a total of 5 or 6 rides the entire time we were there but that's ok. I did get a lot of people watching done which is always fun. =0)

We had our Thanksgiving Dinner at Ariel's Grotto on Paradise Pier in California Adventure. We were so excited because the waitress informed us we could have a real thanksgiving dinner, but when she came back to take our orders, she then told us they were all out of turkey...talk about a let down!!!! But my son and my niece and nephew got a bunch of autographs and pictures taken during dinner which was great!!!!

ONe bummer while on our trip was my new digital camera that I have only had for a few months decided to stop working on me. It kept saying lens error and would shut down. Luckily, I bought it at Costco and was able to go take it back and get a new one yesterday. They are so great about returns and exchanges...I LOVE COSTCO!!!! =0)

I hope everyone had a wonderful TURKEY DAY!!!!!

YIPPPEEEE!

Okay so today was stressful but ended good.
I went in first thing this morning to do my bloodwork.
They told me it would be about an hour for the results.
I tried calling back several times within the next few hours
only to find out the results were not in yet. I had a facial
scheduled with my friend so that helped distract me and relax
me a little bit. Then after the facial I called Kaiser and got
my hcg results. Drum Roll Please............................


277!!!! So my count doubled like it is suppossed to! Now, I thought
they would continue to do the blood tests but they said they would just
schedule me for 11/28 for an ultrasound. By that time I should be about
6 weeks prego and hopefully they can see that the baby is in my uterus, not
my fallopian tube (for those of you who haven't been following along on my
blog, I am high risk for ectopics having 2 previous tubal pregnancies).

Anyways...I'm really hoping all goes well. So far everything is positive so
no reason to think otherwise right?! =0)

Well it's getting late, I think I'll turn in now....be back soon!

Keep your fingers crossed!

I found out this Saturday that I am pregnant! I'm really hoping this one will be a normal healthy pregnancy. Did my first lab work today and my hcg was 128. Much better than in September when it was only a 9. (which ended up being a miscarriage). I'll do another lab on Wed and am hoping the numbers double. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

I GIVE UP!!!!

I'm giving up on EYEBROW WAXING. It doesn't matter WHERE I go or WHO does it, I always have this horrible reaction afterwards. My skin gets all red, bumpy, then dry and all irritated....It's probably my fault. I have rosascea and probably shouldn't be doing things like that to my skin but I want nice eyebrows and go through 3-4 days of horrible redness and bumpiness just so they'll look nice.
I think I will just go back to tweazing. It's a pain but atleast I won't look like that kid Rocky from that Cher movie MASK....really it's not that bad but I feel like it looks that bad.... =0(

I would upload pics but it's too embarassing so I'll keep a low profile for the next few days until I'm back to normal..... =0)

thanks for letting me vent!

Stick Wit U

I love this song....it reminds me of my husband whom I love so much!!!!
This is for you honey!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!

What a Day!!!!

I wasn't planning on doing anything yesterday because I have a horrible cough and really should've just stayed in bed all day BUT it was the last weekend that Great America was open and we could get a friend in free if you're a VIP passholder. Plus I had this little Spongebob Towel / Backpack that I bought during the summer which the cashier forgot to take the sensor tag off of so I wanted to return it. So my DS and my mom and I went to Great America. We actually didn't go on any rides but spent the day playing games trying to win prizes and browsing the gift shops. We had a great time. After we left, we were trying to figure out where to go for dinner and I suggested Dave & Busters. We went there and HAD A BLAST!!!!!!! My DS has never been there and absolutely LOVED IT! What was really great was that place has awesome prizes that are easy to win. You can play games to earn tickets and then go in their store and buy stuff. He spent almost all day at Great America trying to win this little bart simpson and never won it. He went to D&B's and won a LARGE Bart Simpson, a large Patrick Star, and a ton of other stuff. He ended up having quite a bit of prizes by the time we came home as shown in this pic:



Today I think we will just relax around the house. I seriously need to do a bit of housework so I will do that and MAYBE JUST MAYBE I'll have some time to scrap some pics from yesterday!

Hope everyone's having a great weekend!

I HATE RAIN!!!!

This morning kinda sucked. I'm not feeling well and had to take my son and neighbor's daughter to school. It starts raining on the way, I turn on my windshield wipers and the stupid blade came off...!!! Dont' you hate when that happens? I don't know how to change the wiper thingys so I had to take it to a MIDAS mufflers to fix it which shouldn't be necessary since we own an automotive repair place but I don't feel like driving over the bridge. Luckily the manager at Midas is my DH's friend so he did it for FREE!!!!

I hope it stops raining because I really should take down all the Halloween decorations from outside. It's already the 4th and I still have tombstones, and skeletons in my yard....I guess I'll wait a little bit until atleast all the stuff is dry. Right now everything is dripping wet.

I'm also hoping I'll be feeling better soon cause I would really like to scrapbook some things this weekend. I was doing so good getting caught up on my 2005 album and I don't want to fall behind. I think I will print out some pictures and get them organized then I'll scrap either tonight or tomorrow.

I think I'm motivated to scrap also because I went to Michael's yesterday to buy a school project board for my son but OF COURSE I can't go into that store without buying a bunch of other crap I don't really need. I bought 4 scrapbooking magazines, one of which was called Scrapbook answers. I've never heard of this magazine but it was cool. It came with a software program and had all kinds of tips for editing photographs. I just might have to subscribe to this one!

I also picked up a sizzix sidekick.


I already have the script alphabet set that I bought at Suzy's (fairyscrapmother) about a year and a half ago. Now I can use it. I hate dragging out my regular sizzix, it's so dang heavy!!!

What I REALLLLLLLLLLLY WANT is one of those laser cutter machines that you can connect to your computer to print out and laser cut fonts. I'm thinking I like the
Wishblade but I havent' really done enough research to know if I really need one or want to spend that kind of money. It looks like it's about 500 bucks!! YIKES!!!!

Well I'd better go, I'm watching my friend's son and need to drop him off at Kindergarten shortly. Talk to ya later!

It's good to be home.......

Well, I am back from our trip to VEGAS. We had a really good time. A few highlights from our trip were the Fremont Experience, The Coyote Ugly Bar, and shopping at the Fashion Show Mall.









The WORST part of our trip?.......we were 1 block from our rental car return when a minivan ran a stop sign and ran into our little rental car. Their car ended up on the other side of the intersection facing oncoming traffic. Their entire wheel flew off and landed in a nearby parking lot 30 feet away.....of course being the scrapper that I am, I had my trusty camera with me to get photos.












The people who hit us "said" they were okay after the accident happened. But once the police arrived they all said we hit them and that they had back and neck pain and were all taken by ambulance to the hospital.

this accident happened 1 hour before our flight causing us to miss our flight, and barely make it home in time to take our son and his friends out trick or treating...
my son is the one dressed as a skeleton.....
