Oh, yeah! I got the tickets...

I heard that Twilight tickets were on sale already for the premiere on Nov. 21st. So after work Tuesday I rushed over to the theater and bought 10 tickets for me and some girls at work. I think the kid behind the counter thought I was a lil bit crazy since I was so pumped to get them!

7 Weeks

I'm 7 weeks today! Our bean has graduated to a blueberry. It doubled in size this week alone! It's developing away in there and getting bigger each day. It sure has let me know it's there lately. My symptoms have kicked in full force!

Weirdo

I caught Maggie hangin' in the shower today. Just chillin'. Weirdo.

Ahhh, relief. Well sort of.

Okay, the nausea has kicked in full force today. So far it's been off and on & nothing too bad. Today I felt pretty icky for the most part...I feel like I'm just trying to keep my head above water while teaching. I had heard that peppermints help with nausea so my wonderful hubbie brought me a bag of peppermints today at work. I was skeptical...but it actually did work a little bit. It's no miracle cure by any means but it did give me some relief. We had a Chili Supper and Math & Science night at school today so I'm just now getting home. I'm pretty much whooped and ready for bed. These long workdays are rough! But as odd as it may be...I am so thankful for these pregnancy symptoms. The exhaustion, nausea, sore boobies. Give it all to me if that's what it takes to get this little one growin and healthy!

Layne

Here's another name I finished last week. It's for an older boy who's bedroom was done in racing.

Company

This weekend we had all of Travis' family over to stay with us. His parents from Pine Bluff, sister from Little Rock, and brother, sister in law, niece, & nephew from Rogers. We had a packed house and had a great time visiting with everyone. We didn't take any pictures except for this one of Tanya's dog GiGi who was less than enthused when anyone approached her. Here she had crawled into a cubby hole in our bench.

Lil' Howl

We've been looking for a ceramic Red-Wolf for the yard. We need to compete with all those hogs around here. :) We didn't want to drop $100 on one or have a large wierd wolf in the yard. We found this little guy at a local shop and thought he was too cute. He was only $30 painted and he makes a great mailbox topper. We've already had several people slow down to get a closer look at him!

Pregnancy Brain

Okay, I may be suffering from a lil' bit of preggo brain. Travis called me at work today laughing hysterically. Apparently while home at lunch went to get something out of the dishwasher (which I ran before going to bed last night). When he opened it up, this is what he saw. Apparently I forgot to unwrap the dishwasher tablet...

Meet Baby House

We had our first OB appointment this afternoon and I was really nervous all day about seeing his/her heartbeat during the ultrasound. But we did! It was the most amazing, breathtaking thing I've ever seen. That little blip was just a beating away! We saw the baby, the heartbeat, and even got to listen to the heartbeat which was incredible. Baby H.'s heartrate was 114 (it needed to be at least 100). Travis and I both got teary eyed during the ultrasound. It was the first time it felt real to either one of us. We are so blessed to have been given this gift. We were so excited to get to meet Baby H. for the first time!

6 weeks

Our baby is now the size of a lentil. We've reached the 6 week mark which is when the lovely symptoms are supposed to settle in. I did have my first re-visit of lunch yesterday. Lovely! Tomorrow is our all important first ob appointment where we will do an ultrasound to check the viability of the pregnancy. I'm terrified to get bad news-I guess what happened before has jaded me a bit. But I'm excited to possibly see our lil' bean's heartbeat as well! Trav and I are just counting down the minutes to go to the doctor. The appointment is at 1:00 but will most likely take a long time since we'll have to do all the bloodwork and stuff as well. Be praying for us to recieve good news tomorrow!
