MY BAD...

Of course I forgot a few things...

Baby O is a/b the size of a lemon (or your clinched fist) & is finger sucking, toe wiggling, and growing some hair for warmth! It is also producing urine & breathing in amniotic fluid.

I also forgot to mention...WHO HAS TONSALITIS FOR THE THIRD TIME IN SIX MONTHS? Yes, that would be me! I went to the Dr on Thursday & he has gotten me some good pills that have helped alot!

That's all for now...hope I didn't forget anything else!

I apologize..

Every week I have great intentions of my blog for that week...but as you can tell, it hardly ever gets done. I am so sorry....not only to ya'll but myself.

This week was BUSY BUSY!

RECAP:

MONDAY-G has his first baseball game & varsity played first so we got out there bout 430 and if you don't remember it was FREEEEEEZING! Well...G's game started a/r....uhh let's see--830. YEAH!! I only stayed to watch him bat once, b/c I was WAY past freezing. He ended up hitting a double, and scoring the game-winning point!!

TUESDAY-I was supposed to go to bible study with my mom...but my throat was KILLING me, so I slept through it.

WEDNESDAY-Jake & I had dinner at probably my FAVORITE place...Los Amigos!! Then we went to New Life for some couple/pre-martial counseling. It went SO SO SO well...Jake & I both wanted to go back the NEXT day!!! He knew so much about us & our relationship already it was kinda scary...but I guess that's just how every couple it. He made me want to go buy the 5 love languages...and I got it tonight at CBO!!! Like I need ONE more book to read right now!

THURSDAY-Went to talk with a pregnancy counselor lady in Little Rock which also went VERY VERY well. It's someone who doesn't know my past, or anything really going on, that ISN'T emotionally involved. I'm not exactly how she is going to help me, but we'll see how the future meetings go! When I got home, I got some chick, and went & ate it at the firehouse with Jake, and watched KRIS ALLEN MAKE IT TO THE TOP TWELVE ON AMERICAN IDOL!!!!!! I had never ever watched the show until last night, so that was exciting! It's cool to see signs around town, and cars all chalked up rootin for him! I wanted to take some pictures, but my camera wasn't in the car.

FRIDAY-VERY VERY slow day at work, but I guess I got alot done. My parents left for Branson this afternoon. Jake & I did a lil shopping, Old Navy, CBO, Staples, & Target. Come to find out I had a Target card with over 50 dollars on it I found in my car today, that I ALMOST threw away!!! So everything I got at Target I guess you could say I pretty much got for free! Ha! We grabbed some Quizno's on our way home...watched a few SuperNanny episodes, and we were both pretty much asleep before we realized it! Jake headed home, and I hit the shower so I could get in bed at a decent hour!

TOMORROW-ARKADELPHIA bound!!! For the Miss OBU pageant! I'm so ready to see everybody!!!! Details & pictures later of course!

Birthday Weekend!!

Friday morning (mom's birthday) we found out she had the flu. Luckily I had gotten my flu shot, but dad & g hadn't, so we had to get them some prevention medicine. Tonya, Uncle Sam & Aunt Kathy were coming in to stay with us, and they still made it, but didn't stay with us to stay away from the virus! We still had "birthday dinner" without the birthday girl at Mike's. I swear I ate probably 5 rolls at the table, they are just SO good! & I took home a whole box full and ate them this weekend!

It was a short but sweet visit with my lovely cousin Tonya!

Saturday Morgan and I got our hair cut & had lunch together! I was glad she was in town for the weekend!! I took a nap, and then got ready for Jake's birthday celebration! Us, and about 14 other people went to Razorback Pizza in Maumelle & then Millinium Bowl, and just had SO SO much fun! I have been trying to do good by drinking water, but sometimes it just gets old, and I want to spice it up a lil. Tonya taught me on Friday night the whole lemon & sweet'n low thing! OH-- & NOW I'M OBSESSED!! My boyfriend thinks it's just something new to be high maintenance about...but oh well!

Jake & I @ Razorback Pizza! YUMMMMMMY!!!

Jennifer & I @ the bowling ally! My hair doesn't look so good in this pic, but she's the one that cuts it for me! LOVE her!

Jake & I bowling...I beat all the girls & he beat all the guys!

Jake & I went to church this morning, then I went & kept the nursery. I had lunch at Mama D's with Morgan & Josh before they left to go back to Fay. We had super good chicken-cordon bleu. Then I came home, finished watching Private Practice from this week, and took a nap till dinner. Family birthday for Jake & his dad & Michaelanglo's & six. We had alot of fun, and & I have had a BUSY BUSY weekend!!

Jake & I at the family birthday!

13 weeks!

This WAS me @ week 12. I felt ever so big that day, and I look at week 13, and think, "Oh, maybe I wasn't as big as I thought, or FELT!"

Today marks week 13. The last week in the First Trimester, which means morning sickness should pretty much be DUN-ZO after this!!

When I found out something as big as a PEACH was growing inside of me, it kinda made me step back & think WOW! Something really is GROWING in there...and it REALLY is getting bigger & bigger! I'm excited, but to think something really is GROWING 24 hours a day inside there!!!

Well, I only feel & look big on certain days of the week, so that is when I take my picture to get the most out of it.

Work went well today. Mom brought me lunch since she was off for President's Day. By the time I ate & she left...it was almost four!!

Oh the BACHELOR tonight!!!! AAAHHHHHH!!!! Me & mom SCREAMED when he let Jillian go! I could not believe it. I already had in my mind that she was going to be the one, and Melissa was going to be the runner up & be the next Bachelorette!!! And now that it's Melissa, and Molly...he BETTER pick Melissa, or I'm boycotting the show..FOREVER!

Well...I didn't plan on staying up this late, but new friends w/ new pictures on facebook will do that to you!

One Week...I KNOW!

I never actually thought I would go almost a WHOLE week without blogging!!  I tried to do better on my Quiet Time this week, and when I did that...by the time I got a/r to blogging, I was just TOO tired!!  I guess you can't complain a/b that though huh?

This week was a good one thought.  Tuesday night I went to Jake's parents house for Granny Jones' birthday.  It was so great to see everybody & of course sweet little Hannah Grace.  We both had a really good time!

Wednesday night I made dinner for the family.  I browned some hamburger meat, chopped up some onions, tomatoes, and broke up some lettuce, and we had taco salad.  I chose to have little soft tacos though.  We had JUST enough left over for me to take to work for lunch on Thursday.

Since Jake had to work tonight, we celebrated Valentine's Day last night.  We went out to eat with his parents at Doe's Eat Place here in town.  It was my second time to go, and this experience was a whole lot better than the first! 

Oh yeah!  A little drama I forgot a/b!  So yesterday when I got off work, I called Jake like normal...and he just wasn't talking very much, being real boring.  Then he said..."Did you get anything @ work today?"  & I said, "Oh yeah!  My paycheck?!?"  He responded with, "No...you didn't get anything else at work today?"  And then it finally hit me where he was getting.  Sweet baby Jake had ordered me an Edible Arrangement on MONDAY to be delivered to the office on Friday.  Come to find out...the guy told Jake, "They were just so swamped that day...and they just never got a/r to it."  Well, I don't think I have to say, but Jake was NOT a happy camper, and STILL isn't!  Ha...he is going to talk to the guy (who is the OWNER!) Monday morning!  That was just so sweet of Jake to do that for me, and so thoughtful, and he did it on MONDAY, that makes it even SWEETER!!  He didn't even wait till the last minute!  So...I guess I'll have a pretty Editable Arrangement sometime next week!  HA!  

After dinner last night, Jake & I were going to make chocolate covered strawberries, (since I didn't get any!) but Kroger was COMPLETELY out of strawberries, and almond bark.  We opted for bananas instead, but that just turned out to be a disaster!  We watched Fireproof, and it was SO SO good!  And I'm glad we got to watch it TOGETHER!

Today I got up & made some vanilla funfetti Valentine cupcakes for Jake.  His favorite is strawberry, and that is what I thought I had bought, but oh well...it's the thought that counts!  I took two plates to the firehouse for him and the other guys.

Aunt Kathy & I went out to dinner tonight @ Brick Oven.  We had a good talk!  She got me some chocolate covered strawberries today too!  We came home and ate a few of those, and now we're watching CSI!  

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!  -LOVE to ALL!!
