New Layout!

Check out my new layout! Isn't it cool? I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get rid of that ugly text and crap at the top. I tried deleting it out of the html but then the whole thing gets screwed up.. Blech!

I thought it was Spring?

Seriously, WTH? Almost 90 degrees on Thursday. Yesterday and today have been in the low 50's and it's drippy and dreary outside. Not having it! And, I suppose Mother Nature is going to skip Spring altogether and go straight into Summer? At least on my birthday it was warm and we had an awesome afternoon thunder and lightning storm. Made my birthday special! Here are some pics I took showing there is signs of Spring! Plum Tree^^

Some Nut tree - don't know what it is. It was really nice out though on my days off last week, so Kaden and I went to the park. I wasn't feeling so hot, so I let him play while I sat in the sun and soaked in 20 minutes of much needed Vitamin C :)

Last week I also pampered myself to a new haircut and I love it! I still am having a hard time styling it as I am not used to it, but I am trying! I cut about 5 inches off and I don't feel like such a bobblehead anymore! I used to hate wearing my hair down, and in the last year or so I have loved my hair down, and Matt likes it better too. So, now that it is too short to put in a ponytail, down it is!

I am now 18 weeks 4 days pregnant. 21 weeks 3 days to go! Here is a picture at 18 weeks 1 day - also sporting the new haircut! :)

Goodnight Wisconsin! (Anyone seen That 70's Show?) LOL. Buh bye.

Happy Birthday to Me!

Yesterday was my birthday. I was waken up at 6:15 am by a friend from Indiana texting me to tell me HB. Thanks. The sun isn't out yet and you want me to be chipper? LOL! Then my mom texts me at 6:48 am (remember, I work until 11 everynight and even though I didn't work the night before, I am still up untill 1 am...). Then the cat. Oh, the cat. She loves sitting in windows and she decides to peel back the curtains on my bedroom window at 7:06 am and let the sun shine right on my face. Oh, I could of strangled her! then hubby gets home at 7:34. Slamming doors, jingling the keys, thumping through the house. Yay. Then it gets really, really quiet... I am thinking, Oh Boy! Maybe he left and went to get me some b-day flowers and a card or something! He never does, and my hopeful little heart breaks when I get up at 8 and find him sitting in front of the tv playing a video game. :( At least he remembered it's my birthday! I had an OB dr appt at 9:30 so we get Kaden up out of bed and dressed and ready. I go to the dr and sit in the waiting room just hoping we get to have an ultrasound. Nope. But we heard the heartbeat and it was strong and fast as ever. Baby does not like the sonogram, he/she kept kicking it. Dr was trying to get a good reading on the heartbeat but baby wasn't having it. Every 3rd or 4th woosh of the heartbeat, he/she would kick really hard and he'd have to re-do the monitor. Dr eventually gave up LOL! I had my quad screening (more blood drawn) and I took Matt home so he could sleep.
I spent lunch with my step-mom, her mom who is visiting from Texas, and my aunt who is here from Vegas with her kids - including her 2 1/2 month old little boy who seems to adore me :) So, I have been catching up with this whole baby thing and feeding and changing and rocking - it's so fun! Except this little man is easy. Dirty diaper - high pitched forced scream. LOL and as soon as you take his pants down - he's calm! He is such a cutie pie. My grandma geve me some money for my birthday and I went and bought a mp3 player. I want to get motivated and start walking or light exercise so I don't gain too much weight this time around. This way I can stay active and not hurt so much!
