Blessed.

I need to take some time out to be thankful for all that I have. I did a lot of thinking today and started thinking about the way I always thought my life would turn out. 10 years ago, when asked "Where do you think you will be in 10 years?" My answer was: Living in a home, with a great husband, a great job, a dog, and a family on the way. When I was in the shower today thinking about all of this I realized wow, I have everything I always dreamed of and I am so thankful for that. Its easy when times get tough, or when I am dealing with health issues that I cannot control to loose site of how truly blessed my life is. And it really is. My home is awesome, I married my best friend in the whole world and I love him more than words can describe, I like my job - its steady and pays well, our two little dogs are great - they provide unconditional love and comic relief, and we have a baby on the way - that I already love more than I could have ever imagined.

I have a great life.

One Year Ago Today....

We were on our Honeymoon cruise in the Caribbean. As I sit here now in 10 degree weather - I find myself missing it. The ship - the weather - the meals... Everything. Just being off of work and spending every day with my wonderful husband was awesome. I remember it like it was yesterday, I can still think of our room and smell how good it smelled (We went on a Disney Cruise and the shampoos and conditioners, lotions, and soaps all smelled like heaven!)I can picture the pool and taste the drinks. I really cannot stand the cold weather and I miss the warmth. It was on our first day of our honeymoon in FL the day before our cruise took off that we made the decision to sell our house and move there. We didn't know how hard that would be and the market just seems to be getting worse! Anyways, this is a bit of a break from my baby blogging, but this was a blog about our life too and I just wanted to remember our honeymoon for a minute or two!

POP goes my tummy! (16 weeks!)

23 more weeks to go... That seems so far away still! I am 16 weeks today and have definitely "popped". You tell me:

(I will post some better pictures when Corey gets home tonight!)
People who do not know me very well are noticing that I am pregnant now. My 86 yr old patient patted my belly yesterday when I took my coat off in her home and said "AW.... when are you due?" Very cute.
Our little Bun is now the size of an avocado. About 3.5 oz and 4.5 inches!
Watch what you say... tiny bones forming in baby's ears mean the little one can now pick up your voice. Eyebrows, lashes and hair are starting to fill in, and taste buds are forming. And, if you're interested, an ultrasound might be able to determine gender!
We have 15 days till we find out... and I can't even wait. To see Bun again, to find out if Bun is a girl or a boy (Still thinking boy...). I just cannot wait.
Our Crib and glider came in today. We aren't picking anything up until the rest of it comes in. But that is also exciting!
Also, my new favorite mommy-to-be item - My Mamma Bees Leg and Foot Creme, by Burts Bees... OMG- talk about an awesome lotion. It promotes circulation of the legs and feet and just makes tired legs feel energized. When its on it cools and tingles! I love it!


I can say now that I can FOR SURE feel the baby moving around. Its just flutters but, feel them I do! Especially after a busy day and laying down for a while, when it is calm and I can feel him moving around. :) I just cannot wait for the kicks!

I am ending with a pic of Corey and our two dogs... Aw! Their so cute :)

Just a dream.

I can't meet Losing sleep over this No I can't And now I cannot stop pacing Give me a few hours I'll have this all sorted out If my mind would just stop racing Cause I cannot stand still I can be this unsturdy This cannot be happening

Ugh. I miss Corey. So much.

I had the best dream, that we got aBFP, last night. It was so real and so vivid, that I thought I would wake up next to him. Of course I woke up alone (well alone minus the ruffers) and missing him.

This is over my head But underneath my feet Cause by tomorrow morning I'll have this thing beat And everything will be back to the way that it was I wish that it was just that easy Cause I'm waiting for tonight Been waiting for tomorrow I'm somewhere in between What is real Just a dream What is real Just a dream

I fell asleep with music on last night. When I woke up my favorite song was playing and it totally fit what I was feeling. Just missing him so much, missing sleeping in his arms, missing kissing him goodnight. Missing making him dinner and him being excited about the "nice meal". I am even missing his talk about car parts and what he is expecting this week in the mail. ;)

Cause I'm waiting for tonight Been waiting for tomorrow And I'm somewhere in between What is real Just a dream

Miss you baby :) Cant wait to see you on Friday!

My very first crosshairs.

So Corey and I have been actively ttc all through August and now into September. I am charting each day and we just cannot wait for the day that a BFP shows up.

I took Corey to the airport last night for a business trip and realized how much I miss him when he is gone. I could not sleep and stayed up until midnight, even though I went to bed at 10! I was playing in my head how I am going to tell him when it happens. SO many different ways. I came up with a really good one. I am going to take Tommy the turtle and tie a balloon around his hand that says congratulations! Also, Cor has always wanted a camcorder for when we have a baby, so I am going to buy a camcorder as well :) I think he will get it!

One of the reasons I am so bummed out about pingers being out of town is that I [thought, I was anyways] am going to O this week and he will be gone. But FF tells me that I already o'd and we bd'd around that time, so here's to hoping! I am just going to keep praying every night that we get our miracle.

Until next time....
