Happy Anniversary honey! I am so excited for our trip to St. Marys, where God first brought us together. Yum, Dick's Wings - the place we met. I can't wait to have a hotlap sandwich and play video games with you there. It is going to be an awesome weekend! Well, I wanted to give you a little tribute, but it has to be fast b/c I need to shower. We have an ultrasound to get to and then off on our road trip. What gifts God has given us on our special day - we even get to see our precious little baby today!
I love you.............because..............
1. You love me and treat me like a princess and would do anything in this world for me.
2. I don't ever have to worry if you would stop loving me, go astray or intentionally do something to hurt me.
3. How absolutely excited you are about this baby, which just shows on your handsome face every time baby is brought up.
4. Brilliant.
5. Hardworker.
6. You make me laugh. You're so silly.
7. You always have me in mind no matter what you are doing.
8. I love your phone calls and texts everyday. I miss you so much when we are apart and these really help my day.
9. You sleep so cute and you rarely snore, which I am very thankful for.
10. You are a great cook and you make me dinner almost every night.
11. You help me clean, do laundry and other chores and errands.

21. You stay true to your word.
22. You love God.
23. You give the best foot and back rubs.
24. You would rather spend every minute by my side than anywhere else.
25. You even suffer through 2 hours a month of going to the nail place with me so I can get mani/pedi's.
26. We share the same goals - financially, parenting, fun stuff, life stuff.
27. You are you, my husband, the man I fell in love with and continue to do so more and more eveeryday. I pray to God that he gives us another 70 years of blissful marriage.

I think this helped
I'm sure I have complained about this very often on here, probably every Monday, but my Mondays are so rough. I guess cuz the weekend is over. I don't want to go to work. I don't go in until 10, but stay til about 7:30 or so, so it's a long day. I love my job, just not Mondays, and I am thankful to have a job. I miss my husband EXTRA much on Mondays. I ususally cry when he leaves (did that already). I always have a yucky feeling. How do I get over it? Yikes!
Any way, enough of wallowing in my Mondays. It looks to be a goregous day out and I need to appreciate all that we have, be glad to be alive. :O)
So, our weekend. Saturday we both worked. I suprised Sean afterwards and took him to his favorite Philly cheesesteak place. They hail from Philly and their sandwichs are supposed to be authentic. We wouldn't know the difference since we have never been to Philly and had one, but either way they are delicious. We came home and finally looked through nearly 600 prego photos and picked out our top 50 and sent them to mama for photoshopping. Thanks mama! We are really excited and happy with the ones we got! YAY!
Yesterday, Bible study, church and then Jackson, Joy and Joel (the little one - I think maybe 7 weeks now) came over. We discussed everything related to me caring for Joel on Thursdays. I start next Thursday. I am really excited and I think we are going to have a lot of fun. I am also happy we can help them out. YAY! I don't want to say it will be good practice, because I am not "practicing" on their child, but it will be a good way of finding out kinda what it will be like when our baby comees. It also helps us cuz it's an extra bit of money. :O)
We started our 13 week financial class at church. It's from 5-7 on Sundays. 13 weeks is cutting it very close to expected due date - the weekend before, not that I will go into labor on our due date! The 1st class went really well and I think we are going to learn a ton and we get to see our friends and it should really help with our finances and I am excited to make the necessary changes.
Finally, we went to Red Lobster with the family for my cousin's birthday. We were late because of our class, but we still really enjoyed our time with everyone.
OK, cheer up! it's just Monday (that was note to self!)

Probably just a case of the gassies!
I guess I had a bit of a scare yesterday. I was at work when I started getting really bad tummy pains, like to the point where I could barely stand and leaning over made it even worse. They were not down low. It hurt so bad. I tried to stick it out, thinking it would pass, but it kept getting worse and I felt like I may vomit and/or pass out. So, I tell Leigh Ann and she asks if I'm having contractions and I'm like I don't think so, I dunno! Well, out of the 7 girls working yesterday, only 1 has had kids, so I was going to ask her, but I was pretty positive that contractions are down low, not way up high. I did Google it. :O) However, since Leigh Ann was worried about baby, I started to really worry. At first I was not because I thought it was just some weird thing going on. I ended up going outside and calling Sean from my cell phone because I knew I would start crying, which I did. I worried him and he said call the doctor. I called and the nurse said baby was probably sitting on a nerve, to go home, take a bath and some Tylenol. I felt so bad leaving Leigh Ann and everyone else at work (it was super busy), but they were very understanding and concerned. So I left at 3 o'clock and did as doctor ordered. I felt so much better after the bath and Tylenol, but I have to say I was also very gassy when I got home, so I am more thinking that is what it was. ;/
Thankfully through the whole thing baby did not seem to mind and was busy as ever moving around in my belly. And to top it off I have a cold!
I am just glad baby is fine!!!! We started to get super scared and I came to realize that this is the first scare we have had all pregnancy; the rest has been so normal, smooth and wonderful. WOW, it was no fun! I think I have learned through all this to relax some more, listen to my body, take care of baby even more than I do and not worry and stress about what I need to get done, money, school, work, and everything else under the sun!

Blessings
I cannot say enough how things have been so great for us. Other than the fact that I am sick, but oh well! I don't get sick very often. We have had freeze warnings here the past couple of days! Cold!
We had an OB checkup yesterday. Everything went great. They also have started testing me to make sure my body isn't producing the "let's go into labor" hormone because of my cervix issues, so the first test was yesterday and all is good! Yay! Baby heartbeat is good and my tummy measurement, blood pressure, weight gain all good!
Sean and I had 2 firsts. We can actually feel where baby is in my belly, which is awesome. It's doesn't feel all that great to push around on my belly so we won't be doing it very often, but it is so cool to feel baby and then baby will move to the other side and then we will find him again. :O) Also, baby moved the most last night. I love it! Even if it did keep my awake or maybe it's the cold that kept me awake or most likely both.
We had 2 appointments yesterday - The Kimberly Home and Bay Area Pregnancy Center. I got a ton of free maternity clothes. I should be good until birth. They are really nice outfits and God is amazing. Also, long story short, but they both work on a points system (you earn points by attending classes, going to church, working, going to school, doing lessons, donating, etc) and you use your points to get free stuff and they have everything - from strollers to baby clothes, diapers, toys - anything and everything you would need. We are so excited. One is government funded and one is supported by about 8 local churches. Did I say how blessed and amazing our Lord is! All this stuff we are getting from him for free and it will be such a HUGE help!
OK, gotta get to homework and leave for work. Happy Friday!

Super Bowl
Super Bowl was fun. We were supposed to have a big party here, but decided not to about a week or two ago. It was just too much for me. I was getting too stressed out. I didn't feel I had enough time to plan for it nor did I want to spend that much money. Well, I am so glad we decided not to. We had 2 friends over only and it was a lot of fun. We cooked brats on the grill. It was nice to be more relaxed. I was still sleepy most of the time so I would have never made it, had a ton of people come. They stayed until half time. They brought us over a huge cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory. Delicious! Any way, good times. I didn't make it to end of the Super Bowl. Fell asleep the beginning of the 3rd quarter. I know Chrissy is super happy today!

Work Schedules
AAAAHHHHHH! We have more wonderful news. Sean found out yesterday from his boss that he got the a-OK to work from home, soooo that means that I don't think we will need childcare for our little one. That is going to be so awesome - for us, for baby and for our finances.
This will be the plan.
Mondays and Wednesdays - I will work from 7-7. Sean will take care of baby on Mondays and Wednesdays working from home.
I will be off Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
Saturdays - I will work every other Saturday while Sean takes care of baby and vice versa, Sean will work the other Saturdays that I am not working and I will have baby.
Sunday we are both off of course.
WOW, how exciting.
I haven't gotten the final OK at work yet, but I have talked to Carly (office manager) and she seemed fine with it.
I will still get the required 30 hours to keep my health insurance and I will still get the required 20 hours to stay in the vet tech program on-line for school.
Yippie!
I love God!
