It's a boy!

So I am way too impatient to wait another 3 weeks to have the Dr. tell us what we are having so we went to fetal photo and it turns out we are having a boy! Dave thought all along it would be a boy and I finally had a strong feeling it was a few weeks before we found out. We are super excited though! I did have someone kinda scare me though, because she told me fetal photo got the sex of her baby wrong! So if I come back on another blog to say "just kidding, it's a girl", then you'll know why! Anyway, we did get some adorable ultrasound pics, so I had to post them!
I am very excited to be a mom and I am so looking forward to meeting my son! I just hope I can survive this pregnancy, being the whiney princess that I am!

10 weeks Pregnant

So I am finally starting to feel a little better! The morning sickness is less frequent! But I have to say, I am a huge baby though, because I have been so miserable and I keep thinking I may not be able to do pregnancy more than once! I admire all the mothers out there and especially those mothers who have had more than one! I am told by many that when I have the baby I will forget about the sickness and pain...we shall see!
Pregnancy is pretty amazing and I truly had no idea how fast the baby grows and how much happens on the first trimester alone, it's been very cool and eye opening! This might sound weird but I have to say I am already in love with this baby and I can't stop thinking about when he is finally here! You may wonder why I say "he" because I am only 10 and a half weeks along and obviously don't "know" the sex yet, but Dave and I both have a strong feeling it's a boy! If we are wrong, I will be a little surprised but just as happy! I also already have a little baby bump and besides loose dresses I have NO clothes that feel comfortable! I actually look forward to fitting into maternity clothes because they seem so much more comfy! By the way, the picture I posted is how I want to do the nursery if it's a boy!

The fertility goddess worked!

So I am pregnant! I was shocked. Not because we haven't been trying but I took an early test 5 days ago and it came up negative. So even though Dave told me he had a strong feeling I was, I just didn't think so! Then on Sunday, Brittany told me that Ed had a dream that I was pregnant a few nights ago, and that wouldn't mean anything except he has done that a few other times before and been right! So Brit was so sweet and broke the sabbath for me to buy a pregnancy test and I of course took it and came up positive! I was in shock and Dave was so cute he pulled out his camera and took a picture of the tester, and gave me a big hug! I think he's more excited than me! So now I have to find a Dr. and look forward to a due date of around Novemeber 6, 2010

fertility thoughtfullness

So my mom is so thoughtful! Since Ashleigh couldn't be at her sisters wedding my mom put together a girls night the night of the wedding to help her try and feel better about it! She also planned the funniest thing for me! She bought me a fertility goddess, since I gave one to Jaime and she got pregnant right after I gave it to her and she had been trying for a couple of years! So then she makes Michelle, Brit and prego Ash do this little dance to the song by Beyonce' I think called the single ladies, but she changed the words to the fertile ladies! How clever! She also changed other parts of the song, but I wont write the words, because I think it would embarass her! Lets put it this way, it was hilarious and none of the other girls would say them! Anyway, it totally made my day, especially since I have been stressed over my new store that I am no longer involved in. I will share the sad details in a future blog. I would just like to end saying,I have the best parents! I am so lucky!

in recent news

My consignment store is open and has been for 3 weeks! It's actually going well except that my business partners husband passed away last Thursday unexpectedly from a pulmonary embolism. That was awful news and has been tough to deal with.
I'm just happy that we started the store, because it gives my partner something to do and hopefully partially keeps her mind off her new reality for a short time.

This death has made me very aware of how blessed I am for all of my loved ones and at the same time realize how fragile life is and anyone of us could be gone in less than a moment. So tell everyone you love, that you love them and appreciate all the good around you! I know I am trying harder to do that!

In happier news, Dave and I are officially trying to get pregnant! (Just not right at this very moment! lol) I'm scared but surprisingly more excited than scared right now! We'll see how long that lasts!

I love you and I hope you have a wonderful day!

"Too Good To Be Thru!"

So I am opening a furniture consignment store! It's called "Too Good To Be Thru" home decor consignment shop. It's located at 2066 s. 2100 e. in Salt Lake. It's in the same building as Wallpaper Warehouse and Benjamin Moore paint. We should be open by the end of the week and I am super excited! I will post pictures when we get open. In the mean time you can check out my website at www.toogoodtobethru.com

Let me know if you want to consign any furniture or accessories it's a 50% split and a great way to make some extra cash on those items your sick of!

Nie-Nie and Anniversary

So I haven't posted anything for a while and I know my one reader will be happy to see a new post!
You might notice my new little gadget off to the side of my blog that says "I read Nie Nie". Well that is because my mom, the blog hopper, got me interested in a blog by Stephanie Neilsen. An amazing woman who survived a horrible plane crash inspite of 80% of her body being burned. Anywho, she and her darling husband were on Oprah today and as I sobbed through the interview I realized she has touched my life. Besides the wonderful person she seems to be, she couragously deals with a painful, challenging life now, yet she has so much strength. And in spite of the burns on her face you can just see how beautiful she is! I just feel this admiration for her and as though I need to find my strength and live the best life I can! I also cant help but think of the people I know and love who struggle everyday just to get out of bed sometimes, and I want them to know that they give me strength too! I don't know of the pain they feel, but I do sympathize with them and they are in my prayers always!

I always have to post pictures, they are of me and my wonderful husband, at dinner for our 1 year anniversary!
