I’m so behind with my “weekly updates”. I know not to make any promises to change that. I’ve already posted my 20 week ultrasound on Facebook along with the name of Baby. So if you know it please don’t use the name here for privacy reasons or your comment will be deleted or moderated… Thanks!

Soo… Let me introduce you to Baby G!

Baby G would not move. At all. Even with the tech pushing at my stomach trying to get it to move. But baby is a lot like daddy already: nothing wakes him no matter how hard I try.

At first we didn’t want to find out the gender, but after much persisting from certain family members we gave in and found out.

So it will be a….

BOY!

Hubby and I cannot wait to see our precious little baby boy.

Today I am officially 17 weeks pregnant .

This baby is already much loved and very much anticipated by everyone.

The journey to 17 weeks has been very interesting road.

Why, only yesterday I was in the ER getting a IV drip to treat me for dehydration.

It happened like this: Sunday morning Hubs and I went out to our usual brunch with my Grandparents and little cousin. I had a Turkey Club Sandwich that didn’t taste so great but I was fine until it wanted to make a reappearance as we were leaving the restaurant… Hubs and I chalked it up to a bad food experience.  I had some water after then as we ran errands but it was just making me feel really sick.

When we got home hubs made us spaghetti and toast for dinner.  I hate throwing up spaghetti! I had a little bit of water, and it came back up. So did a Popsicle and some tea.

Morning came around; I had some breakfast, drove to work and up chucked at work (thank goodness it was in the car). Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had the joys of morning sickness but never like this. I just couldn’t keep anything down at all. Not even water.

Finally I called the OB GYNs office and told them what was going on. I was advised to make it over to the ER and get a drip going. My bosses drove me to the ER and Hubs met me at the Hospital. I had to wait almost 2 hours for a bed (apparently being pregnant and dehydrated didn’t take priority over some other non-emergencies.. Just saying).

I got the funny doctor, (which I really needed at that point) got hooked up and was reassured everything is fine. Doctors are funny with their insensitivity sometime no matter how nice they are. I’ll explain why: Hubs asked if we could hear the baby’s heart beat just to reassure me more. He gladly agreed to but had a lot of trouble trying to find Baby. It took almost 5 minutes to find it. When he finally find it he mutters under his breath that the pregnancy is still not viable until 20 weeks….

UHM, excuse me?! Last time I checked it was!! I’m pretty sure he didn’t mean it that way but still it pissed me off.

Oh well, at least we heard the baby again, I got my nausea drugs and I feel a ton better today.

I’m hoping that we can get an ultrasound scheduled after this weekend ( going in for a checkup) to see if we have a pink or blue in our future. I can’t wait!

I have a lot more stories to share, but I’ll share those another day.

Don’t I just look wonderful?

I hope to remember to wear some kind of makeup to the birth…

Christmas this year was unpredictable, fun, loving, warm, and fuzzy.

Hubby and I had plans to go out to a cabin in Wisconsin. The night before a snow/rain storm hit us and all surrounding areas. Of course that included the area where the cabin was located. They had an inch of ice Christmas eve which was when we wanted to head up there.

It’s a good thing our plans where thwarted cause I had a ton of fun visiting family and friends. :3

Of course I got a lot of really good presents this year!

Like I mentioned before the wonderful Xppinxx hosted the Lipstick Army Hoe Hoe Hoe Lovechange where everyone who submitted their name would get a lover name to send a package to. I had the great pleasure of pleasing isabizzle.  She is the cutest little chica and I had so much fun looking for her gifts. Forgot to take a picture of her stuff before I sealed the box *dur*. But Isabizzle was super nice and let me use one of her pictures.. :3

My secret santa’s box haunted me from under the Christmas tree for a couple loooonngg weeks.

Look what my sweet secret santa xmayaarix sent me!There were sooo many layers!

Haven’t tried the tea yet.. Looks so heavenly!

So many masks! Already tried a couple.  They’ve made my skin feel a ton better.

Woooot! All ready have used a couple of colors for everyday wear.

Wonder what’s in this box?? Soooo Cute! These are her hand made Golden Angel and Jade earrings. Here is a link to her shop—>Candynation

Last layer!

I carry this baby everywhere. Always in my purse

It’s such a great color!

Thank you so much to Mayaari, Isabizzle, all the twitter Hoe Hoe Hoe’s and last but not least xppinkxx for making this Christmas a loving one! <3

Ps. Sorry this took so long to post.  Couldn’t get accustomed to the WordPress picture uploader.

This year the beautifully funny and talented xppinkx is hosting the first ever Hoe Hoe Hoe Love Change.  She announced it one afternoon over Twitter and I was all over it like chocalate on a hot fudge sundae (whoa)!

Long story short, I had a lot of fun shopping for my secret Santa. There was a really nasty snow storm in my area that lasted 3 days.  Almost thought I wasn’t going to make the deadline.  Turns out I was way ahead of schedule. Doesn’t hurt to be early!!

Went way over budget, but it was well worth it.  I didn’t take pictures of what I bought or the lame wonderful wrapping job I did (whoops).

Hopefully my secret Santa will enjoy her gifts and that she’ll take a lot of pictures… lol

To my Secret Santa!

***********

One day at work hubby called me up and said I had a very special package waiting at home for me.  Those words are enough to make any girl excited, cause I knew I got my SS package!!!!!

Doesn’t look so lonely???

He’s been egging me on to open it but I know better.  Gotta wait till Santa drops off the rest of my presents!!

Really need to wrapping the kiddies presents in the next couple of days…. Can’t wait for Christmas Day!!!
