28 weeks!

As of January 20Th I was 28 weeks! I went to the doctors and everything looks great, I'm measuring right where I should be, and the heartbeat is strong! This week I will go and do a glucose and blood test, and I now see the doctor every 2 weeks instead of four! Ahh.. its getting close! I'm soo nervous, but soo excited! I also just put a deposit down on our soon to be apartment! Its a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom, with laundry room, kitchen and living room, and balcony! I'm so excited to get the baby room going! This is the theme I'm going for:


We registered for most of the stuff featured, but we wont be painting or putting up wall paper! I love the purple, its so much cuter in person. I cant wait to decorate!

Fire Bomb.

My new favorite song, I love it.



Lyrics:
Yeah, whoa

Gunfire left a hole in the tank, losing gasoline
Fire is on my trail and he's after me
Hope it don't get here before I get where I'm going
I gotta get where I'm going
Take off my mask to breathe
You could've been a part of a masterpiece
Fluid in the breaks was the last to leak
That's the thing

Where I'm going, I don't need my brakes
Can't wait to see your face
When your front windows break
And I come crashing through

The lovers need to clear the road
Oh, oh, oh
Cause this thing is ready to blow
Oh, oh, oh

I just wanna set you on fire
So I won't have to burn alone
Then you
Then you'll know where I'm coming from
Fire bomb
Fire bomb

Seems cold but baby, know it doesn't have to be
Microwaving our metal tragedy
Watching it burn and it's beautiful and it's blue
And it's pitiful when its through
It's the other half of me
I didn't do it, you lit the match for me
Now we're flying from the blast, baby
That's the thing

Where we're going, we don't need no brakes
Can't wait to see your face
When your front windows break
And I come crashing through

The lovers need to clear the road
Oh, oh, oh
Cause this thing is ready to blow
Oh, oh, oh

I just wanna set you on fire
So I won't have to burn alone
Then you
Then you'll know where I'm coming from
Fire bomb
Fire bomb

Baby, we were killing them
They couldn't handle the millionth degree
We were criminals
As we were burning, the world called the police

Fire department, ambulance
You can call me crazy 'cause I believe
The only move for me and you
Is to go out blazing

The lovers need to clear the road
Oh, oh, oh
Cause this thing is ready to blow
Oh, oh, oh

I just wanna set you on fire
So I won't have to burn alone
Then you
Then you'll know where I'm coming from
Fire bomb
Oh, oh, oh
Fire bomb

One day you'll know what it feels like to LOVE.


So here’s what I’m going to do. I’m going to stop dwelling. I’m going to stop watching the phone. I’m going to stop looking for you. I’m going to move on. I’m going to meet people. I’m going to live. I’m going to forget all the nights I spent wishing you were here. I’m going to forget the times that it was just us. I’m going to forget the things that shouldn't have happened. I’m going to forget all the times I opened myself up to let you in, to only get hurt in return. I’m going to forget how I felt about you.


But in between everything I will forget, I won’t forget the lesson I’ve learned. I won’t forget the feeling of loving someone. I won’t forget the feeling of thinking I’m loved. And I will certainly not forget the hell I was put through to learn all this, to become a better person.

This is from a post on the blog Le Love I love reading all the stories people send in, this one kinda hit home for me so I had to post the section of it. You can read the full post here.


I believe every women has the strength within them to be secure with themselves, to know what they are worth and to know what they TRULY deserve. Sometimes it takes life's unexpected turns to realize this.

I wont let you rain on my parade just because you thought id always be around, don't try and bring me down because you see me pulling away, you should want whats best for me, you should want to see me happy, because deep down you know damn well you weren't going to give me what I really wanted, and I know that what I really want is out there. I'm sorry that your too late. I don't need to wait and hope for somebody to love me, because somebody already does.

Maternity photo shoot.

Sooo
Ive always liked the idea of getting your pictures taken while pregnant, even before I was pregnant, I always thought it was a cool idea, Ive seen some and liked how they were done. I haven't thought seriously about it while pregnant tho. Its weird, everyone says pregnant women have a "glow" and are beautiful, and the whole thing in general is "beautiful" well, I don't exactly look in the mirror and think that. Ive only started to show in the last month or so, and all I can say is "what is happening to my belly button?!" and "Why is my stomach suddenly so hairy?!" and yes ill admit, the bigger I get the more I think its kinda cute, I'm just waiting for my face to swell up, not excited for that one.
Anyways, the more I look at maternity photos, the more I'm liking the idea, I mean I could find a local photographer and try it out, and I'm pretty sure one of my friends said she had a friend that took pictures, so maybe I would try that and get a more unique photo shoot then end up lying down with a sheet in some cold studio and my local target or sears. haha. The thing is as much as I want them to end up sexy and or "beautiful" and capture my "glow" and bask in the beauty of pregnancy, I highly doubt they will end up like this:

see more of these here.

The above photo I think is gorgeous, yet its 20 degrees out and I seriously doubt we can transform Utah lake to look like this, and transform me to look like her. A lot of people like the idea of "couple" photos, well being not married I find it kind of weird, I don't know why I just do, and plus, Ive only seen a few that I haven't laughed at. Until then, Ill just be taking my own candid photos to show how I'm growing! ;)

2010.

So its a new year, which means new things. So I'm told.
I always say I'm going to make NY resolutions, or one for that matter, and I never do or I never stick to it. This year has a lot in store for me, the fact that I'm going to be a mom really makes me want to make changes and stick to them!
There is a lot of things I need to do differently, A lot of people I need to evaluate relationships with and decide if its worth the trouble and drama for me and for other people in my life. I love my friends and family, and Ive really seen who my true friends are new and old, and I'm thankful for all the help and support that they have given, especially extended family, its nice to have all these people that want to step in and be there for me.
If anything has ever been a slap in the face as to how much I need to grow up, or to make smarter decisions, this has been the biggest! I don't mean for it to sound like a bad thing, because I do believe having a baby is a blessing, and possibly a huge one for me, I think everything happens for a reason, I just mean that its a huge eye opener to life in general.
I'm going to have another life in my hands, someone who will be helpless and will need me to be there everyday, and every step of the way for quite some time, and I need to make sure that I have the things that I need to do this, I need to have a strong relationship with Mike because I need him to be there, and I need us to trust each other.
Ive had comments made, comments made by people who know nothing about me, doubting me and having some very strong opinions about this, and I guess my way of getting back is proving to them and myself that I can do this, and I will.
I heard someone say "No New Years resolutions, just change." I think its great, because you can tell yourself all the things you want to do better, or like most people they make a resolution to lose weight, if we would just change some of the things/choices we were making things would be a lot easier and possible. There are times I beat myself down and I'm unhappy, and sometimes I complain about the way things are, and its almost like I expect something magical to happen, or if I just stick around long enough or just brush it off all of a sudden it will just happen for me or change, but Ive realized most things in my life that make me upset are by choices I'm not making to better the situation.
I guess I just feel like I settle sometimes, and I don't want to settle, I want to succeed.

26 weeks.

Things are going good, growing everyday, and feeling her kick me all the time! Its so weird! But awesome ;) As the time gets closer to having this little girl, I'm getting more and more nervous! Searching for an apartment, that is affordable is stressful, that's the newest addition to my list of things to do! You think you have all the time in the world, then all of a sudden its right around the corner!
My next Doctors apt is on the 20Th, that's when more tests start, the doctors apt's are fairly short, you go in, pee in a cup, they weigh you, take your blood pressure and now they measure me! Next time I think they will take my blood and do a glucose test...fun. Everything looked good on my last Apt, which put me at exactly 6 months as of Dec 23rd. I gained around 8 lbs! I weigh almost as much as I weighed before I got pregnant, crazy!
Christmas was good for us, we got tons of stuff, well the little one did! Mikes mom made me a blanket and sent me a bunch of outfits, and his dad and step mom got me some blankets and outfits too, and some cute things to start my own kitchen! I couldn't help my self tho, and a few days after Christmas I was buying outfits on sale to add to my collection!
I'm now officially registered at Baby's R Us and will prob go and register at Target as well. I went a little crazy and scanned everything it seemed like! I didn't get to scan a lot of clothes, that's the one thing they recommend you not scanning, because most will be gone when someone comes in to buy gifts, and well I think the point is to register for the things you NEED vs the things you WANT! haha but I couldn't help it!
Also my Aunt just gave me 4 bags of baby clothes handed down from her 3 year old, so I think we have got a good start! So nice to have a little girl in the family, and with Laura's sister having a little girl Ive already inherited an extra car seat and a bouncer! We are still deciding on names, we cant seem to agree on one together!
A few I like are:
Tayven
Tavin
Taylor
Chloe
Brynlee
Can you tell I'm stuck on T names, and not so normal names! haha We change minds a lot, were hoping to have one, or have it narrowed down to two that we love if it comes to naming her the day of!
Will have pics up soon ;)
