How Rude!

So in my last post I talked a little about my pregnancy pet peeves. If you read the post you know that my pet peeve is people making stupid comments about how my face is filling out or how I waddle now. When I told my mom the comments people where making she laughed and then told me I should write them down. So here's one I got from a male co-worker yesterday that I thought I would share.

Co-worker: How much longer do you have?
Me: about 5 weeks
Co-worker: Oh, my wife never got fat like you.
Me: you mean big?
Co-worker: Call it whatever you want.

In his defense his wife never went full term with either one of their kids but still, you don't tell someone they're fat!! I wanted to throat punch him. Instead I just glared at him and walked away.

35/35



Today is my 35/35! Which means that I'm at week 35 and have 35 more days until Isabelle's Due Date. I thought I would talk about all kinds of different pregnancy things.

What's the best thing about being pregnant? Hands down the best thing about being pregnant is feeling her move all around. Some days she goes crazy in there and its so fun to watch my stomach move.

what's the worst? All the pains. I had pretty bad sciatic pain since about week 12 that I've been seeing a chiropractor for. That pain is much better now but its been replaced by swelling hands and feet and some joint pain.

what's some of the crazy things you've heard about being pregnant? I find all the old wives tells to be pretty amusing. I don't think I've found one of them to be true thus far.

what's you're biggest pet peeve while pregnant? People say the weirdest things to pregnant women thinking its a compliment. Just the other day a lady who used to work with me came in and when she saw i was pregnant she said "Oh I thought you might be pregnant, your face has filled out." Not a compliment! Also, pregnant or not, no woman wants to hear "oh your waddling." I wanted to hit a guy at work who told me to "waddle faster" so I could get to the phone that was ringing. grrr.......

what didn't you expect about being pregnant? I kind of feel like there are all these "things" you don't find out until you're pregnant. Like how breastfeeding doesn't come natural for most babies and all sorts of "neat" information about giving birth. These are the kinds of things that people should know before they get pregnant but no one tells them until its to late. It all makes prefect sense, if I knew some of the information I know now I might have second guessed ever getting pregnant but dont worry I've heard a thousand times how its all "worth it in the end" and guess what I believe you!

What has surprised you about being pregnant? I have to say when people first found out I was pregnant they kept telling me "just wait until a stranger touches your belly." I don't think I've had one stranger touch me. Either people are getting better manners or I must walk around looking like I'm going to hit someone all the time because no stranger has ever attempted to touch me.
I think I'm also surprised/amazed at how my body works. Its the coolest thing to know that my body is set up to house this little baby. I'm amazing at how many things take place in a woman's body just to have the baby in there.

Well I honestly cant believe how fast time is going by. Everyone keeps asking if I'm done being pregnant and to be honest I'm really not ready yet. I'm going to miss feeling her move inside me and knowing that she's safe and with me 24/7. On the other hand, I cant wait to hold her and see what she looks like. I can't wait to share her with everyone either. I think after the holidays we'll be ready for her to come, I just need a few more weeks to finish up some odds and ends. 35 more days.. wow that seems close.

Baby Shower & 32 week Quiz

(Sorry I don't know how to turn the picture)
Last Wednesday, November 18th, My Mom, Sisters, Mother in Law, and Sister in Law threw me a baby shower! I was surprised at how many people came. It was so much fun seeing everyone, and opening all the gifts. Truly it was amazing to see how much our baby is loved before she even gets here. I'm so grateful for everyone who showed up to support us. I do have to say that I think the baby will be dressed quite well, at least until she's out grown all her 3 month clothing. :) Thank you everyone who helped with the baby shower. I know it was time consuming and probably a hassle but Jason and I appreciated all the effort put into it! I thought it turned out great and I cant wait for our daughter to get here so I can use all the stuff she got! :)

I Hate Rules!!

We found a couple of weeks ago that the hospitals have changed there policy about visitors. They now will only allow 2 visitors at a time in your hospital room and Jason counts as a visitor. This rule sucks!!
I know that the rule is in affect to stop the spread of H1N1 to hospital patients but still...it sucks. I think i would be fine with the rule if Jason didn't count as a visitor. Since he does count that means only one other person can come into the room at a time. I really hope the hospital rethinks this policy before I have our little girl. I was looking forward to everyone coming and seeing her once she gets here. I guess if they don't change the rule, we'll just have to throw a "Coming Home" party for her so she can meet everyone.
Stupid H1N1!!!

The Painting is over


Jason and I spent all weekend and tonight painting the nursery. It took us forever to tape off the stripes that we painted on 3 walls. Now all we have to do is put up the bead board and decorate. Here are a few pictures of the nursery so far.

Happy 3 years to us!

Jason & I celebrated our 3 year anniversary yesterday. I can't believe we have been married for 3 years already, time just flies by. Yesterday I thought about all the crazy things our wedding day held for us. Like Jason being sick in the sealing room and Aaron having to go get him Juice, the guy who was sealing us couldn't remember Jason's name and kept calling him Jeremy, Then the reception where only half the food showed up, we were missing a bridesmaid bouquet and we were still trying to finish taking pictures when the guest showed up. As many things went wrong that day there were also a lot of things that were perfect. The weather was absolutely beautiful, and I was sealed to my best friend.
I'm grateful to have such a wonderful husband who truly treats me like a queen. He's going to make such a wonderful Father!!

Baby Furniture



I'm happy to say that this weekend has been just what i needed. I don't feel to overly stressed anymore. I was finally able to ask my work about going part time and although my boss said she didn't think it would be an issue she has to take it up the chain. So here's hoping the big bosses approve it! There's one thing to check off the list.

OK, the really exciting thing that happened to me yesterday....I bought the baby furniture. USA Baby was having a sale of up to 70% off. I wanted to get there really early so I could get in on all the good deals before they were gone. I got there 10 minutes after they opened and 3 crib sets were all ready sold!!! Lucky for me I found a beautiful set that was over 70% off. It came with the crib and rails to turn it into a toddler bed, a 6 drawer dresser, a 2 piece hutch, and a night stand. When I saw the price I couldn't pass up the deal. All that furniture retailed for $3000 and was marked down to $860.00. Lucky for us Jason's parents offered to pay half as our Christmas present. So I only had to pay just over $400 for all that furniture. It was a steal!!! I'm completely in love with the furniture, its just what i wanted. Plus it's one more thing that I can cross off my list of things-to-do. Now I just need to talk Jason into painting the nursery and putting up bead board. Hopefully we can start that next weekend, ha ha wishful thinking.

Stress

You know I usually don't get very stressed out about anything. In fact it sometimes drives my mom crazy because I usually have the attitude of "everything will work out, don't worry about it." Lately though I've been stressing over everything. There is so much to think about when you're pregnant. So many things that have to get done. Here's my list of stresses:

Work-Will they allow me to come back part time or I'm I going to have to come back full time and start looking for another job?
Daycare-What are we going to do with our little girl while we're at work? If I have to work full time can we afford day care?
Money- To many worries in this category to even list.
Nursery- I've cleaned out the room we're using for the nursery but we haven't painted or done anything.
Furniture-We haven't bought any furniture for her yet meaning, the crib, dresser, glider, etc is not bought nor have we even picked one out yet.
Odds & Ends- There is so many things that I need to do before she gets here, It's all starting to pile up. I am however accomplishing this list little by little.
Name- If you couldn't tell by the way I keep referring to our baby as "her" or "little girl" we haven't picked out a name for "her" yet. I know we have time and to be honest this is the least of my worries.

I know that, even though some of these things are out of my control, the Lord knows my heart, wants, and desires. I know I'm not the first one to feel this way and I'm definitely not alone. I'm trying my best to put all my trust in him and I know everything is going to work out. Its just stressful waiting for everything to fall into place.

Happy 30th!


Okay, So Jason's 30th Birthday was last Saturday, I'm a little late writing this post.

Jason had a pretty good 30th birthday. He went flying in the morning with his dad and that's pretty much all he wanted to do. We did go to outback steakhouse for dinner, Jason's choice. It was so good, I hadn't been there in a long time. Jason received a lot of nice presents, but didn't get the one thing he wanted, an airplane...good luck with that J.

I cant believe my husband is 30... wow! Anyway I'm so grateful for Jason and I'm glad that we had last Saturday to celebrate his life. I love you Jason!!! :)

Sock Monkey

Isn't this Monkey the cutest thing you've ever seen? I wanted to buy our baby girl a stuffed animal that was non-traditional. Plus I've always liked monkeys so when i saw this i couldn't pass it up. I found this little argyle sock monkey on etsy.com the name of the seller is storeyshop, she make all different colored monkey socks. It's the first thing we've bought for our little girl, I cant wait to give it to her.

It's a GIRL!!!


We're having a girl!!! We're so excited, we've felt like we were having a girl from the beginning and we were right. We don't have any names picked out yet for her. It will most likely take us the whole rest of the pregnancy to come up with a name for her.

The lady doing the ultrasounds told us our baby would most likely be long since her legs measured in the 90 percentile, she's most definitely Jason's baby, They told us everything looked great. I cant wait to go shopping and do the nursery!

St. George


Last weekend I headed down to St. George with my parents. Jason couldn't come due to work, so we had to have all the fun without him. This trip was planned by my Grandma Quinn so most of the Quinn side was there. It was so much fun just swimming and being out in the sun with the fam. I thought I would write about some of the highlights.

1. Everyone pretty much deciding that we're having a girl. (We find out next week, stay tuned)

2. My Aunts telling me all sorts of wonderful birth stories, its a good thing i still have 5 months until that day..

3. Seeing my sister and her family. I love getting to spend time with them.

4. Drew wearing nylons. He tried shoes on in JCPenny and then wouldn't take the nylons off to put his sandals back on.


5. IN-N-OUT Burger. Enough said.

6. Climbing up to a look out spot to see over the valley.

7. Bowling! Drew was so funny to watch and thought it was his turn after every one, He did bowl pretty well though.
8. Driving home sitting in the middle of Preston and Drew. A little cramped but still very fun.

The trip as a blast and a much needed break away from the everyday. I hope they plan a trip like this for next year!

Camping




Last Saturday Jason and I went camping with some good friends of ours Chuck and Melissa. They've been begging us to go for 2 years and we were finally able to make our schedules work to go.
Saturday at about 3:00 pm we headed up Payson Canyon, I was surprised to see all the wild life up there (the cows with the tags in their ears were beautiful.) I guess a lot of people like to go camping because every spot was taken. We kept driving up and up and up until I was positive we had made it to the top, which is exactly what happened. When we started to come down the Nephi side of the mountain I was afraid we wouldn't find any place to camp, then low and behold there was a spot! Now when I say spot what I mean is we found a meadow that was not far off the road. We walked back into the trees about 20 steps and found this nice open place. The ground was pretty soft and the cows had even left a some presents. I'm actually pretty sure the cows were laughing at us because i think we spent the night in their designated bathroom. We had to use a shovel to scoop out some of their belongings.

After we got all settled in Chuck started a dutch oven dinner. It was pretty good but left me craving Brett Calder's dutch oven chicken.. For any of you who have even been to a crescent park 6th ward girls camp you know how good this chicken is. ::mouth watering:: Anyway moving on. The cows tried to come back to claim their land while we were eating dinner but Chuck and Jason threw some rocks by them and they ran off in a hurry.
I hadn't been camping in a long time and there's little things you forget like toilet paper and that sleeping on a slant means your going to wake up in a ball at the bottom of the tent. There were new things that I learned too like if your pregnant your still going to have to pee every hour no matter if your in the woods or at home and that using a cooler to "lean" against while peeing in the middle of the night is a big help.

All in all camping was a blast but a lot of work for one night. I'm glad that we had a chance to get away from everyday life and spend some time in the mountains with some good friends. Hopefully we'll get to do it again soon..

There's a baby in there somewhere


(Picture of me at 13 weeks)
Last Wednesday I had my second doctors appointment. I got to hear for the first time our little turkeys heart beat (163 bpm), It was so cool! It still doesn't seem completely real though. Don't get me wrong certain things are starting to happen where there's no denying the fact that I'm expecting, like not having a waist anymore, but its still so strange to think that someone is growing inside of me. Anyways, in 5 weeks we get to find out what we're having, only 5 more weeks! Time is just flying by.

Father's Day Suprise!!!

OK, so I know that its been a while since I've blogged. Its not for a lack of things to blog about, We've been to the airshow, my sister and her family came into town, Etc.. Its just that the most exciting thing that has happened to us lately we've been keeping a secret, until yesterday that is. If you haven't guessed what the secret is yet, I'll just tell you.


WE'RE PREGNANT!


Can you believe it? its ok, we can hardly believe it either. We found out the week after Mother's Day. I knew something was off when all i wanted to do was sleep, then the next Monday I was so sick at work i could barley stand. That night I told Jason I thought I might be pregnant. We bought a pee stick and of course it came out positive. So after thinking about it we decided not to tell anyone until Fathers Day a whole month away! It was so hard to keep this a secret. Especially when I wasn't feeling to great all the time. But It worked! Our families were so surprised. Jason and I took little onesies and ironed on letters to break the news. We gave one to his Dad that said "Grandpa's future Pilot" and one to my Dad that said "Grandpa's future Fishing Buddy."

It was great! Jason's family was totally shocked and not expecting it at all! It took them a minute to realize what the shirt was telling them. But after they got it they were so excited. My family got it right off the bat. My dad said it was the best fathers day gift ever! Mine and Jason's extended families were thrilled to death for us. As for us, I think we have mixed emotions which mostly consists of excitement but also a little fear. We're just hoping that everything goes as smoothly as possible!
Heres the videos of our families finding out!

Total Wicked


"Wicked" (the musical) just left town today. Yesterday was their last performance and I'm happy to say that I got to see it twice and didn't pay anymore than $25 a ticket. How did I do this you say? I won the lottery, the Wicked lottery that is. you can go down to where the show is playing 2 hours before it starts and put your name in the drawing. there are usually 200-500 people that show up to do this. My mom played the lottery almost every night she was in town she won once and took me :). Then this last Saturday I went with her and my name was drawn out of the pot. My Dad really wanted to see it and since Jason didn't want to go, it was just me and Daddy-oh. I loved the play! I costumes were so crazy and the set was so intricate. Of course the music and story line are just amazing. Dad really enjoed it too, he said he'd see it again. I would advise anyone who hasnt seen it to try to see it a least once in your life, it was so cool!
Then on the drive home from Wicked I saw the coolest thing. Something I've always wanted to see. The Oscar Mayer Weiner Mobile! I couldn't believe it. My mom and I were just talking that morning about how she saw it the other day and how I would love to see it. There it was, my wish had been granted. What a great weekend huh?

Birthday, Vegas, and Random things






Okay, so my 22 Birthday has almost been a month ago but I think I'll still blog about it. I had to work on my birthday which I guess was fine. Jason took me out that night to Carrabbas for dinner and gave me some very expensive sunglasses. (F.Y.I if you live in the Orem/Provo area and you haven't yet been you should go to Carrabba's and order there BBQ Chicken Pizza, its DELICIOUS.) Plus the night after my birthday we went out with my cute little Great-Grandmother, who I share a Birthday with, my parents, my grandparents on my mom's side, and my sister with her boyfriend. It was pretty fun, my Great grandma Laveta is just the best.





My real birthday present was going to Las Vegas! Jason and I took a little trip with our good friends Curtis and his wife Alicia to Vegas the first of April. Since this was every one's first time to Vegas being "Legal" (with the exception of Jason) we did a little gambling and I have to admit its pretty addicting. I know when to stop I swear!! I just didn't want to. I did win $50 at Caesar's Palace woohoo.... Curtis and Alicia had never been to Vegas before so we showed them the sights (meaning the strip) and where some really good buffets are. We were only down there for 2 days but I think we were pretty ready to come home the last day. I haven't walked so much in a long time my legs were killing me. Over all I think everyone had a pretty good time there.

Also I just thought I would let you know that I had my teeth whitened and I will NEVER do it again. My Dear In-Laws gave me teeth whitening for my Birthday because I asked for it. Since my Mother-in-Law works at a dentist office She did the whitening. Now for those of you who haven't had your teeth whitened at the dentist this is how they do it. They put all sorts of stuff on the face and in your mouth so
A. your mouth will stay open during the procedure and
B. So the lights don't burn you.
Then they put whitening gel on you teeth and put you under the lights for 15 mins, then wipe off the gel reapply it and but you back under the lights. This step happens 3 times. By the end of the first round my teeth were all ready sensitive, in the middle of the second round my teeth hurt so bad I decided I couldn't go under the lights a 3 time. All day long my teeth were killing me. They hurt so bad that by the end of the night my dad wanted to put me out of my misery and gave me a Loratab. Now I've taken Loratab only one other time in my life and that was when I had a kidney infection. I spent all day and night throwing up after taking it. I wasn't sure if the Loratab is what made me sick or if it was the kidney infection. Because my teeth were hurting so bad I decided to take the Loratab and hope that it wouldn't have a negative affect on me. Oh Boy was I wrong, I spent the rest of the night in the bathroom throwing up everything I had eaten that day. My mother-in-Law felt so bad and I felt horrible for her feeling bad. Really I wanted my teeth Whitened but I think I'll stick to the home kits next time.

Hot Swimming Suit

OK so I know it just snowed the other day, but I am so ready for summer. I'm trying to get my beach body and I've been scouring the Internet for a really cute swimsuit and today I found one I just love. Here's the link http://www.fashionising.com/diary/p--Herve-Leger-SpringSummer-2009-catwalk-collection-1730-19557.html. Isn't it Cute? To bad I don't look like that model plus I'd never be able to afford the dang thing but its super cute!!! Maybe some cheaper Designer will copy it and i can buy it at an affordable price :). I'm just hoping for that option.
Anyway Hopefully summer will come soon, I'm sick of the cold.

Basketball



Jason has been playing basketball on the Horrocks Team. Its so funny to watch the guys who we work with play basketball together. You want to find out what someones really like, get them out on the court. Unfortunately they haven't won a singe game all season. That is up until last nights game. Yesterday was supposed to be their last game. Its tournament time and they lost their first tournament game which meant if they didn't win the next game they were out. To be honest I was kinda hoping to be done with Basketball. Not that i don't love watching them play, its pretty funny most of the time, but they play Thursday nights so i have to miss "The Office". Plus I'm the only won who ever goes to the games. Moving on... Yesterday they finally learned how to play together as a team (to bad its a little late). They were doing well in guarding and watching where there "guy" on the other team was. The best part about the win, and by best i mean funny,  was that they played a team with only 4 players and that team almost beat them. By the end of the second half the other team only had 2 guys left, 2 fouled out. That other team was good! (If Jason knew I told you the other team only had 4 players he would be embarrassed. So lets not tell him I told you) I couldnt believe they won I had to take a picture of the score board to remember it by. Ok so it wont let me up load the picture of the scoreboard so I'll have to do that later (if i remember) . Oh and P.S. Doug Giles- number 25 in the picture up top reminds me of you.

A little Update



We're back from Iowa. It was so much fun to see Courtney, Doug, Drew, and little baby Preston. It was my first time seeing Preston and I expected him to be huge, but he wasn't. He is really long and has the biggest hands I think I've ever seen on a baby. I was expecting the weather to be cold but it was actually very nice (mid 40's). I'm glad I had the opportunity to see everyone and I really hope they move closer and somewhere warm. :)


Now for Valentines Day. Just for kicks I thought I would let you in on a little secret...I don't care for Valentines Day. Before I was married I never had a good Valentines Day. My Husband is really cute and always gets me really good stuff for Valentines, but we never make it a big deal. This year we went to Cheesecake Factory for lunch and then we bummed the mall for a while. I gave Jason a fossil watch and he gave me some make-up I've been wanting. For dinner we went to the Mexican restaurant down the street and it had no wait so that was awesome. Then we sent the rest of the night at home watching TV.

Oh and the coolest thing, I won a magazine at http://theletteredcottage.blogspot.com/. I'm so excited I won, I never win anything! I love this Blog.. Layla is so creative. If any of you need decorating Ideas Layla is the person to go to. She does all sorts of design stuff. I really need to enlist her help in my house for some ideas. I highly recommend checking out her blog, its so cute.

So that's my little update. Now I'm Starting the count down to my Birthday!! Only 38 Days!!!!

Time for a Vacation

You know how Sometimes you just feel like blah.. and you do the same thing over and over again and you know if you could just get away for a little while all would be well. That's how I feel right now. I need a vacation, some time away from normal everyday routine. Lucky for me, I'm getting one. This isn’t going to be a sit back and relax vacation. I’m sure this vacation will consist of crashing cars (Toy ones of course), Freezing my butt off, watching the entire collection of Disney movies (or the same one over and over again), and of course holding my new little nephew. I can’t wait to see my sister and Doug it seems like it’s been forever since I’ve seen them. Anyway, Special thanks to Courtney for having another child so I have an excuse to go out and visit. Although, next time court you can just ask me to come out, you don’t need to have a kid every time you want to see me. ;) I can’t wait till I’m in Iowa just one more week!

Twas a foggy day in London town...or Saratoga Springs

The weather here is Foggy today, its been foggy for the last week or two. Every morning we wake up to this amazing white stuff floating around outside our bedroom window. Some days its so thick that we cant even see the neighbors house from across the street. I have never seen so much fog in my live. It probably means the the air quality is really bad but i think it looks so cool. Especially in the morning when everything is frozen over, the trees with their white branches and the fog surrounding them, its so pretty.

The End of the Year

So 2008 just flew by. So much happened last year I got a new car, a house, job. I can't believe its over already. Christmas was fun a little different than I'm used to but still great. It was our first Christmas in our new house, of course we weren't there for very long. Around 10:30 we headed off to Jason's parents house. We spent the day playing games, eating, and opening gifts there. Then around 8:00 pm we went to my parents house, Stacey (my mom) was supposed to get in around 8:30 but due to the huge snow Storm she didn't get in till 4:00 am. So we decided instead of sitting around we would go to Grandma & Grandpa Quinn's. We stayed up there for a while hoping the snow would die down but it never did. The roads were so icy that we decided not to chance it trying to get home, We ended up staying at Jason's parents house. The next day we spent with my parents and the Bleazard Grandparents opening gifts. Oh the holidays are exhausting. Jason and I work together and they graciously gave us a week and a half off. So i made Jason help me hang stuff in our house. It was so nice to have a break but it makes it really hard to come back to work later. New Years was fun we spent it at Jeff and Sue's house, they have some of the best stories and Chase is hilarious. Fun times!! Well I try not to make new years resolutions that i can't accomplish so hopefully none of these are out of reach (fingers crossed):
