Weekend Wrap Up

I didnt do too much this weekend....ok thats a lie. Saturday I was lucky enough to get out my town and make a getaway to Salt Lake City, to hang out with a girlfriend I have known pretty much my whole life. Her and I are so very different and so very similiar...too much of eachother and we go insane and too less we miss eachother.

She needed a girls day, and lucky for her I needed to get away from my home for a day. We took off at around 3pm and went to go shopping at one of the outside malls here, which was smart with how freaking freezing Utah is in the winter. I decided to show how much I can control my shopping addiction and only buy a few things...which I proudly did! New wallet, mustache mints, and sunglasses.

We got to go to California Pizza Kitchen, one of my favorite resturants! and I got their amazing BLT Pizza, and a slice of red velvet cake which I took home. If you get the chance to have that cake....do it!

We also saw No Strings Attached....now I am a huge Nsync Buff, so this movie title threw me into a POP mood which my friend did not appreciate. But no worries. This movie did not even play the famous song by the POP band, but this movie was AMAZING! It was a little more racier then I expected, but I should have thought that going into a rated "R" movie about Sex-Friends. I would recommed it to anyone!!!

How did everyone elses weekend go?

Updated.

So most of you know I have been away because of my Grandmothers death on Sunday, so I have been with my family and really getting to know who my Grandmother was a lot better. I was one of her grandchildren who was born 9 years after everyone else, so they had way more stories then I did! and it was amazing to hear.

Her funeral was yesterday and she was laid to rest right next to my sister who passed away 10 years ago. I didnt think it would hit me as hard as it did, but being right next to my sister while my Dad gave the dedication of the grave, struck a cord in me and I burst into tears. I am so glad I have the best family anyone can ask for! I know everyone says that, but with my husband not having a close relationship with anyone but his Mom on his side of the family, it makes me very grateful that I am so very close with my entire extended family.

Other then that, I had a friendship end today over things that were dumb, but I felt the need to stand my ground. Death hits me very hard in different ways, and my friend didnt understand that I needed time to be alone and not deal with other drama, and thats how it went and thats how it ended. Its sad to say its a done deal, but truthful if you cant be a friend when a friend needs you, even if its just to be left alone for a day, then your not being a friend.

I really appreciate all the thoughts and kind words you all gave me and my family at this time, I really appreciate it. Its hard to say goodbye and let go, and its hard to see it end...when the memories we just made, they'll never happen again. By the way that is a song, but I really appreciate it and I will be back to blogging on Monday. By the way if any of you forgot to take my poll on the side of my page please do so! Thank you all so much for the support and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Do My Poll!

I put up a little poll you can do on the side of my page, to vote what everyone thinks Baby L will be. I know its early....but I really wanted to see what my blog readers think. Plus I have a suprise for Hubby coming up, and I really really wish I could post it on here! But its the whole reason I did the poll earlier and not later....so if you dont catch my drift then OOPS.

So tell me what you all think.....

Blue or Pink?

15 Weeks!

So even though I have a few family things going on today with my Grandmothers death and a few other things, I felt like I should write this blog before I set off to order her some flowers from Hubby and I, and help out with some kids.
Today I hit my 15 week mark. I see that some of my other fellow bloggers are doing a survey on how different it is every week, so I am going to do that this week and then throw in a tummy picture...but I wont be doing that ever week, seeing as I want to make my posts about the tummy progress personal as well.

How far along: 15 Weeks

Total weight gain: Since I got pregnant I lost over 20 pounds, and I have only gained around 2.

Size and growth of the baby: 4 inches long, 2 1/2 onces....around the size of an apple.

Sex: Everyone but my mother-in-law thinks its a girl. Still got a little longer to wait.

Maternity clothes: Wearing the shirts! Its just more comfortable and I am enjoying looking more pregnant when I wear them. Hardly ever wear jeans anymore.

Sleep: Tossing and turning all night!

Best moment(s) of the week: I cant say yet...its a suprise for Hubby.

Movement: Sometimes I think I feel it, but then I dont feel it again for a while.

Food cravings/aversions: Loving Steaks and ribs and raspberries!

Morning sickness: Morning and Night...still going strong.

Symptoms: Sickness still, the cramps in my back from my uterus streching, a hard tummy sometimes.

Labor signs: none.

Belly button in or out: In

What I miss: Sometimes Soda. But nothing really...I am really enjoying it.

What I'm looking forward to: Next week. I am starting to get into a nesting mood and that sucks because I cant get anything! Looking forward to the belly getting bigger!!


Heres my update from BabyCenter.Com

Your growing baby now measures about 4 inches long, crown to rump, and weighs in at about 2 1/2 ounces (about the size of an apple). She's busy moving amniotic fluid through her nose and upper respiratory tract, which helps the primitive air sacs in her lungs begin to develop. Her legs are growing longer than her arms now, and she can move all of her joints and limbs. Although her eyelids are still fused shut, she can sense light. If you shine a flashlight at your tummy, for instance, she's likely to move away from the beam. There's not much for your baby to taste at this point, but she is forming taste buds. Finally, if you have an ultrasound this week, you may be able to find out whether your baby's a boy or a girl

Heres a little picture of my "bump" my tummy was really hard before bed and I took this for Hubby to see in the morning, he is amazed at how much more bigger I am.

Let me tell you, this baby is probably not sitting in me at all. 

Ahh mommy loves you.
