MOVIE MARATHON WEEKEND!!!!

My husband and I don't usually like to be out on New Year's Eve. Too many people out drinking and driving. We like to stay in and relax. So I decided we would have a movie marathon weekend.

I've been wanting to watch this movie every since I saw Oprah talk about it on her show. Last night I watched it and it was so good. I highly recommend it!:



here's a link to watch some trailers of the movie:

SOme other movies we are planning on watching are:









Will let you know how we like these movies. If you've watched any good movies recently (movie rentals, PLEASE recommend some to me in my comments section - with this horrible weather we're having it's so nice to curl up on the couch and just watch a good movie and stay out of the rain!)

Some cool things my son got for xmas....

Being an only child does have it's privileges (though I'm hoping he won't be an only child for long)......my son SCORED big time this year for xmas....here are just a few of his favorite things:

Cingular's new FIREFLY phone:



This phone is great if you just want your child to have a way to contact you, but not run up a huge phone bill. He can only dial / get phone calls from the numbers that I have pre=programmed into his phone using a pin code. I love this thing and it's so cute and small!

VUGO (ask me if I've figured out to install this onto our computer yet? NO!!!) but once I do, this thing is "suppossed to be" really cool! = this was an after = xmas purchase. It's normally 130.00 but it was on sale at Kohls for 60 bucks!!!!



FINALLY a new basketball hoop / stand. Poor kid is almost 11 years old and has still been practicing with his little tikes one he got on his 2nd bday. I'm so embarassed to admit that! But his friends actually like using it cause they can slam dunk on it! But finally he has one that is more age appropriate:



He received a ton of other things but these were his favorites!

My DH and son were really good on shopping for me. They got me the Issey Miyake perfume I wanted:



a bunch of stuff from one of my new favorite stores we just got called ULTA it's just like sephora, it has makeup, perfume, hair products, candles, all kinds of goodies!!!!

They also got me a new knife set for my kitchen that's stainless steele knives...I love it!!!!

Then of course after xmas I went shopping with my good friend Liana. We hit Old Navy and got some cute fleece pullovers (on sale of course!), then to Kohls for some clothing, I got a couple new sweaters, and jeans.

Now I just need to clean out my closet and dresser to make room for my new stuff!

Update on me....

Well, it's been quite a while since I've updated. 21 days to be exact. That's a long time considering I was updating daily for a while there.

I'm still bummed about losing the baby. But a little time has passed and I'm trying to focus on the positive in my life and realize that I am still young (32) and have time to keep trying for a baby. Right now the dr. wants me to wait a month or so, and have the HSG (dye) test done on my fallopian tube to make sure there isn't any blockage to that tube. I'm not looking forward to doing it but hey maybe it will help us get pregnant easier / faster.

Bad News.... =0(

It's been a week or so since I've updated my blog. I've been so focused on the pregnancy and nothing else. I went in yesterday to the dr's office to have an ultrasound because of some spotting I was having and when they did the u/s they
couldn't find a heartbeat anymore and the baby was only measuring 6 weeks 3 days (at my last u/s the baby measured 6 weeks 1 day on 11/28)...so the baby stopped growing.
I have another u/s scheduled for today at 11:30am in Radiology so they can confirm what the other nurse saw and then take it from there.

I'm so dissapointed. This is the 3rd problem pregnancy in a year. I thought for sure this time this one would work out. I had a really good feeling about this one.

I'll keep praying God will bless me with a baby soon.....

Thanks for letting me share...
