Ok I am going to update but nothing new is really happening. I went to the Dr. on monday. Everything looks really good. The heart beat was 156bmp I think that was up from the ultra sound two weeks ago. I actually saw Dr. Young this time. Usually I meet with his nurse practitioner. (who I love so it really doesn't bother me) I had only seen Dr Young at my first appt. previous to this one. The baby was measuring large in the ultra sound. But my belly was measuring right on at the appointment, so that gives me hope that I won't be giving birth to a giant. I go in on the 8th for another U/S. I guess the tech didn't see everything she wanted to. Parker was moving around alot. So I had my first experience with having to talk to a stranger about being pregnant. I went to 7-11 yesterday before work, like usual. (to get my slurpee or hot choco) and the girl ringing me up asked me about it. I didn't think I was really showing enough to tell, but sure enough. I don't think I would dare ask some one if I didn't know for sure that they were pregnant. At work I have to prompt several girls a day not to touch my belly, and then they look all shocked like there is nothing wrong with it. I am just going to start handing them out consecuences like they are candy. I am enjoying the belly to a point though. It is nice to actually look pregnant and not fat. I mean don't get me wrong there is still alot of fat there. Those hot chocolates have to go some where! HEHEHEHE
On another topic. I am still working alot. Which is good and bad. Money is good. I would however love to be doing other things. Like finishing Mel and Cade's afhagan from last year. Ya it has almost been a year since I gave it to them and I still haven't got that much further than it was last year. I need to get my butt in gear before the baby gets here or I'll never get it done.
The house is starting to come together. Jordan almost has the back yard looking decent. And next year we will be putting up a planter under the bay window. I need some ideas of plants that like the wet and the shade. Cause we have an area that doesn't ever see the sun and it stays wet for ever. We are still almost done painting the dining room, and then it is on to the babies room.
I am so excited to have sunday off. I had last sunday off but its cause I called in sick. So I didn't get to go and enjoy church like I would have liked too. I was suppose to have saturday off too, but I signed up for an extra shift. Thank goodness, that makes up for missing sunday. On the fifth I have my mission reunion. I am super excited for that. I always love seeing President and Sister Marion. They are such awesome people. And they always have really good food. I guess I can't say always, I have only been to one. And they the following day we get to head down to the big old town of Cleveland. Yupeee! Its kinda fun to have plans every once in a while.

Funny
Some one sent me this picture in an emial and I thought it was really funny. So I decided to post it with my blog today. So I was super sick last night. I couldn't keep a thing down, which made for an aweful night at work. I could barely make it home before throwing up again. This time violently. When all is finish I go into the living room with a glass of milk. (To calm the acid in my throat, TMI I know) And Jordan has the sound on the tv completely off. I asked him why and he simply replied to listen to you puke. I found it kinda odd but took it as sweet cause he was worried and wanted to make sure I am ok. I wouldn't want to listen to that if it were me. So I ended up calling in sick today, cause I just couldn't get my stomach to settle down. I really wanted to go to church today, but figured I'd better stay at home in bed. I can go the next 4 weeks or so. So I am just enjoying my lazy day at home. I hate calling in sick I always feel oh so guilty. Even though I know it would have been a horrible mistake to even try to work. This week has been busy with work. And a little play. We got to go out to dinner with Mom and Dad and Sara and Jeremy. (is there enough and's in there for ya?) That was a blast. Even though it looked as though I ate absolutely nothing. I wanted to show off my mad eating skills I have gained in the past few weeks but it just wasn't in the cards to do so. I got like 81/2 hrs overtime this week. Yahoo. Except I am sure the government will take it all. So I shouldn't get to excited. No I learned a while back that one or two shifts of over time on a pay check works out to be just about right where they aren't taking the whole thing. Everything past that isn't worth it unless you go exempt. Which is always a bit risky to me. I love getting money back from the government rather than having to pay. Well it is lunch time. So I guess I will go get something to eat. Hope you all enjoy the funny picture.

Some of the House!
Ok so I had a little extra time this morning, so I thought I would add these pics of the house.they aren't the greatest though. This is of the stair well.
This is where I found the space to hang by big picture. Hopefully I didn't put it in a creepy place.
This is the stair well again. Just a different view.
And this is Jordan hard at work on our back yard. I enjoyed watching. It you look closely at the ground you might can tell that I swept the concrete off earlier. But I doubt it. Winnie really likes digging in the dirt.
So that is the house well the living room any way. For all of those who haven't seen it. It is the only room in the house that is finished besides the red room. Which I need to wash the sheets and get it cleaned up so I can take some pics and show you what it looks like. Wow my allergies aren't getting any better. Sorry that was random. Well I had better finish getting ready for work.

Winnie in her new shirt! Thank You SARA
Ok so I had to get these pictures on the blog. I work tomorrow and then will probably hang out a little farther north till its time for me to meet Sara. So Sara bought boogers this shirt but it didn't fit Boogers. So Winnie gets it. Hurray. That was the first thing Jordan did when he got home. (Put the shirt on winnie) In this pic she is peering out from her favorite hiding place. Which is soon to be no more cause we are putting up a fence of sorts. She has been chewing on the wires of the air conditioner. (Bad dog) I am pretty sure that is where she sleeps at night when she isnt in the laundry room.
This one is of winnie watching Jordan work. He is cutting posts for a fence of sorts that we will be putting up to help keep her out of the dirt. We will deffinately upgrade the fence someday. But for now we are hoping it will work. We shall see.
This is of Jordan getting his kisses. Thankfully Jordan has learned that when he lets the dog kiss him he has to take a shower before I will kiss him. HEHEHEHE!
Winnie is so curious of all the things going on in her play area. I took the trash out today and she barked until I came back into view. It almost sounded like some one was hurting her.
Yes Winnie is a very spoiled dog. I even took her for a bike ride this morning. I rode the bike and she ran. She LOVED it. It was oh so funny. At first I just walked her and the bike to get her used to the bike. Then I jogged with her and the bike. Then I finally got coragous enough to get on the bike. She wanted to go real fast at first. Then I think I wore her down. She only pulled on the leashe a couple times. Once to poo! And she didn't even run under the bike. I think that is cause I taught her a lesson when we were walking. She got a little close to the tire, so I carefully run her over by the tire. (It didn't hurt her, just scared her a bit) And it helped to avoid any traggic accidents when she really could have gotten hurt. In all we love Winnie so very much. Even if she does stink, most days.

Clearing things up!
Jordan made a very good point to me today as I was talking to him. That is not Parkers room. Hopefully some day it will look fairly similar, but right now it looks nothing like it. Right now the room is full of junk and half way put together crib. LOL! It is how ever what I want to decorate the room in. Sara said she found some really cute barn yard animal decorations at roberts. I can't wait to go to the store to see them. Now I just need to buy the paint and convince Jordan into painting. Which shouldn't be to hard. (Although the dinning room still needs to be finished painted.) But I think he is as excited as I am to get it decorated. We still have quite a while to get it done. Thank goodness. I am a procrastinator. There I admitted it and it feels pretty good to come clean finally. HEHEHE. This last week was pretty good. I worked every day. That is 7 days in a row if anyone was wondering. But don't feel to bad for me cause I only got like 4 hrs of overtime. That is cause my shifts weren't very long. But no shorter than 6 hrs. I am enjoying my day off today. I have been pretty lazy and haven't got anything done. Oh well I do have tomorrow. LOL there goes the procrastinating again. I finally got my work schedule figured out for the rest of the year, and I am happy to day that I got the 6th of october off so I can make it to Grandma and Grandpa Wilsons wedding anniversary party. And luckily there isn't a utes game that day either. That is quite the relief, cause not sure what the outcome of that would have been. LOL just kidding. I have become an eating machine, I can't stop eating today. Which for the past 4 1/2 months that is very unusual. I usally have to force myself to eat. So I am sure that I will soon be the size of a house. Lets hope not anyway. I have been feeling increasingly better though, which makes me very happy and I have had a little more energy. I am hoping after having today off I can get to work on cleaning my house tomorrow. And maybe hang some more pictures on the walls of the other rooms. That would be super awesome. It would be even more awesome if I got my laundry all done. That hasn't happened in a long while. Usually I am just washing what we need. Ok not usually. Before getting pregnant I would clean house and do laundry one day. And the other day I would get everything else done. That was once a week. Ok enough complaining and whining. I just thought I would explain the pictures on the previous post. I didnt' really mean to ramble on. Oh ya by the way I have been having problems posting pics. My wonderful sister sara had to post those previous ones cause I couldn't get them on there. Not exactly sure why. It was a pretty frustrating experience to say the least.

It's a Boy! And there are Pics to prove it
Ok so I know that I already titled the previous blog its a boy. but I forgot all about that when I was posting this one. I am computer stupid and couldn't figure out how to get the slide show on to this site. Sara had to walk me through it. Thanks sara! So here are the us from this monday. They aren't very close I am very sorry. If you want to see the real ones well you will have to come visit us. HEHEHE. I also added the first us and one of jordan that I loved. Hope you enjoy the pics. Oh ya I found the battery charger so I will be able to take more pics and post them. Hurray!!

IT'S A BOY!!!
">
Ok well I am sure by now all of you know that we found out we were having a boy! We are both super excited. We went to babiesRus and picked out bedding and color and what not. We found the cutest barnyard bedding. We are going to paint the room a mintish green color. It will match the bedding so well. YEAH! that is all I can think of. I told Jordan that he will be doing the potty training for the boys and someday if we have a girl I will potty train her. I know its a bit early to be thinking about potty training. But I thought it would be a good idea to set the ground rules now. Just like her let me know early on when we were dating that he WOULD be watching ALL the utes games. He just forgot to tell me he would want to watch all other football games too. HEHEHE lol. It was so awesome to be able to see him. The lady doing the ultrasound pushed really hard. I didn't realize it would be that uncomfortable. But it wasn't too bad considering what we got out of it. I had to go pee like twenty times after though. He is such a mover. He wouldn't hold still for to long and kept turning around. She couldn't get a good shot of his face, so I have to go back in for another one in 4 weeks. Yeah I get to see him again. But she got a REALLY good shot of his butt. And that is where we see what HE's got. I will post the pics when we get them scanned. I was hoping they would give us a disc. But no such luck.

19 Weeks today! Hurray
Well I just thought I would repost on my crazy week this week. I did end up workinga double on thursday night and I made it through the night with few problems. I didn't even call in sick on friday night. Mostly cause I wanted the weekend off. So thursday was a very emotional, eventful, crazy night. I was suppose to work the secure unit and started out doing so. There is a girl there that I haven't worked with really at all. And thursday night was just not a good night for her. She ended up getting placed in a room by herself (which we call observation). From this room she was yelling all sorts of threats to the staff that "made her mad". Then she decided to try another route. She proceeded to say "oh and you know that girl that is wearing the green shirt and capri pants? I am going to attack her first, because she is pregnant and I want to kill her baby!" The thoughts just started racing and I had no control over them. My supervisor quickly asked me to leave and I was off the unit for the night. (Thank goodness) Me being the emotional ball of hormones that I am could barely make it to the bath room before I started sobbing. I was mad at this girl and I was mad at myself for hating this girl. I was mad at myself for wanting to well we won't go there. The rest of my two shifts I spent thinking about this incodent and what I need to do to protect myself. It made me realize that I am vulnerable and I don't really have control over life like I wish I had. I decided that I would not work near this girl. Which means that things will have to be moved around significantly. That makes me feel bad because I like my job. No matter what I say when I get frustrated, or tired, or just plain sick of it. There is a reason I have worked there for over two years now. I like my job. I like working with these girls. Yes they may be super frustrating and sometimes it may be like trying to beat a square peg into a round hole. But there is just something about having a conversation with one of these girls when they finally get it. When they have figured it out. Or even just some aspect of what you are trying to teach them. That is what I love about it. And what other job could you get paid to go skiing, take girls to the movie or out to dinner. Or just sitting around watching a movie on a saturday afternoon. This blogging thing is a good thing, this is the first time I have been able to think positively about my job since the incident on thursday night. And frankly for a while before that too. Any ways, this girl tried to apologize to me yesterday while passing me in the hall. I didn't know what to do. I just ignored her. I really don't feel like being around her so long as I am pregnant. So as rude as this may seem, that is my plan for the next few months, just ignore her and avoid her. Not something that I am used to doing. I am one that wants to go and get things straightened out as soon as possible. And really I just want to go and tell her off, and let her know that it is NOT ok to threaten people. And tell her that I will press charges if she does ever try to do anything about that threat. And that I will do what ever I can to ensure that she is punished to the fullest extent of the law, if anything is done to me. So night watch was pretty easy that night. And I think it would have been a ton better had I not been pregnant. I was fine until 6am. One hr before my shift ended. I started throwing up. I was able to get someone to cover for me the first time. The second I didn't see a point there was nothing left in my stomach and there was a perfectly good sink right there on the unit. So I spent a good portion hanging over the sink. And you would think the throwing up would stop there. Oh no it didn't. After leaving I could barely make it home before it started again. I think I scared the crap out of Jordan cause I was on the phone with him when I was almost home, and I just felt like I hit that brick wall. You know the wall that runners talk about. I could only imagine that is what it felt like. Only with the hormones it just made me feel crazy. I got home and pretty much just hung up on Jordan. I did say good bye but I think that was about it. I threw up on the door step of the house and then barely made it to the kitchen sink, I was then overcome with only what I could explain as an anxiety attack and could not stop crying and breathing heavily. I finally got myself to bed and the minute I fell asleep I felt relief. I give thanks in part to the unisom. That was not only comforting my stomach but also helping me to sleep. Sleep was really all I needed because I felt a bit like I had a hangover when I woke up but in all I felt MUCH better. It was quite the experience but I will NEVER do that again. On a much happier note, I felt the baby move for the first time. It was quite active while I was trying to sleep yesterday morning. I must say it is the weirdest feeling ever. To know that something is moving inside you. I have also had the strange urge to call it her when refering to the baby. Usually I get to that part and am stuck and end up saying it. But not today, I always have to catch myself and say it or the baby. I don't want to jinx, cause I really do want a girl. 2 more days till we get to find out. I hope we do anyways and that the baby decides to cooperate. I found out my friend is pregnant. That made me sooooo excited. She is 8 weeks and is going to the same doctor as I. She said that Dr Young got a new U/S machine and I got to see some pics. They looked WAY better than mine. You could see the arms and legs, and what was left of the tail/butt. It was pretty amazing. So I am even more excited about mine on monday. Because if it made it that more clear on an 8 week. Well then its going to be alot better for a 19week. Sorry for it being so long. But I was excited that I actually had something to post. Jordan went golfing and then he is off to his utes game. I am going out with a friend to something,(I forgot what it is) and then later I will be going out to a movie with some freinds from work. Have a fantastic weekend. I know I will. Cause I don't have to work!

Just another day!
Ok so I have a big feeling that today is going to be a really long day. I work one shift from 3pm to 11pm and then one right after from 11pm to 7am. The night watch one shouldn't be too bad considering I don't have to really talk to any girls. I just have to make sure that they are all sleeping. It will however be really hard to stay awake all night. But that is ok because I am going to cover the windows int he bed room before I leave for work so it will be all nice and dark in there when I get home and I can go straight to bed. Then I have to go right back to work to work another 3pm to 11pm shift. but then I am done till monday. That is unless I decid to work saturday night while Jordan is off to the utes game. Havent decided on that one. I might just stay home all day and get the dinning room painted. The living room looks sooooooo nice. I love it. I still don't have anything hanging on the walls. I did find a place to hang my big picture of Christ visiting the America's. It will be hanging on the wall as you walk in the door. Kinda behind the door. That is the ony place that has wall space big enough to fit it, besides the bedrooms. Not sure where I am going to hang anything else though. It sure will be nice when the baby gets here and I can replace our wedding pics with the baby. Ok well I have babled on about nothing for way to long. I gotta go get ready for work.
