Wedding gown... http://www.venusbridal.com/cgi-bin/description.asp?dress=8610ft.jpg&dressline=VenusBridesmaid Dress http://www.venusbridal.com/cgi-bin/description.asp?dress=d445ft.jpg&dressline=BridesmaidsFlower Girls Dress http://www.venusbridal.com/cgi-bin/description.asp?dress=3693ft.jpg&dressline=FlowerGirlsThe colors are Ivory and Black with red accents. Roses and Calla Lillies for the bouquets and table decorations. It'll be sooo pretty!! Oh, and Jessie is gonna be such a handsome ring-bearer! I'm using a little red-wagon with a seat in it for him, filling the wagon with roses and calla lillies, and one of the flower girls will pull him, it'll be soooo cute! And the honeymoon....a month in Paris, his words are "You'll spend at least $10,000 on clothes there." $10,000!?!?!?!? That's half my annual salary!

I'm going home!
Just wanted to let everyone know Jessie and I are going to be in WA as of about midnight tonight until sunday morning. I was planning on meeting up with someone...but that seems to not have worked out, so if anyone is interested in seeing me, give me a call or leave a message here or email....i'll have internet access there :) hope y'all have a great weekend! | | Monday, June 26th, 2006 | | 12:36 pm |
The sign at the pool at the nudist camp yesterday made me laugh. It read: Some people skinny dip, others chunky dunk. I chunky dunk! | | 7:55 am |
THREE THINGS TO THINK ABOUT: 1. COWS 2. THE CONSTITUTION, and 3. THE TEN COMMANDMENTS COWS Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that our government can track a cow born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she sleeps in the state of Washington? And, they tracked her calves to their stalls. But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around our country. Maybe we should give all illegal aliens a cow. THE CONSTITUTION They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq. Why don't we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys, it worked for over 200 years and we're not using it anymore. TEN COMMANDMENTS The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments in a courthouse....... You cannot post "Thou Shalt Not Steal," "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery" and "Thou Shall Not Lie" in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians -- it creates a hostile work environment. | | Friday, June 16th, 2006 | | 3:19 am |
Daddy's Day
Since I won't be home this weekend I thought I'd post my thoughts on fathers day a bit early. There is a difference between a father and a daddy....you don't choose to be a father, but you choose to be a daddy. This is why I don't wish anybody a happy 'father's' day, but instead, I want to say HAPPY DADDY'S DAY to everyone who chooses to be a daddy. You know who you are and you know you are loved by those who call you daddy....so I hope it's a good one for you! | | Tuesday, June 6th, 2006 | | 5:17 am |
6 weeks today...
It's hard to believe that 6 weeks ago I gave birth to such a perfect little baby. He has grown soo much, almost double his birth weight at 9lbs 13oz. He has chubby little cheeks and dimples in his knees and elbows. There is also a dimple in his cheek that you can see when he smiles. Currently, his eyes are a gorgeous turquoise color, and his hair is still hard to tell, some days blond, others brown, but always with a definate reddish tint. Poor guy had his first 'real' hospital visit on Sunday. We took him to the ER after talking to a nurse about some wheezing/chest congestion. They said that it sounds like reflux but to take him to the pediatritian asap. His doctor says that it could be that he's allergic to milk and so we switched his formula to a soy version. Hopefully it will help his tummy settle down, he's been in pain for several days now. The dr also cauterized his belly button again, it doesn't seem to be healing all the way. Hopefully this time it will dry up and I wont have to take him back in for it. Traveling does not agree with him. He loves car rides, and always goes to sleep, but 10 hour rides aren't fun for him. I think I'm going to give it a couple months before we try again. He did like Washington though, got to meet the rest of his family (including a bunch of 'adopted' grandparents and aunts and uncles), except for one great grandma, but we're going to go see her on our trip in July. Everyone loved him (how could they not?!?). I was even nice enough to let Grandma Janice babysit for a couple hours while we went to the casino. She paid me even!! *laughs* He is starting to respond more. He'll smile at you, and he coo'd for the first time the other day. Sometimes he'll discover a rattle that we put in his hand and shake it around. His attention span is very short, so nothing lasts long, but we have lots of toys that we play with. He can hold his head up already, but is still very wobbly, we call him a bobblehead ;) I'm going to have him christened around the end of June. Sarah will be his godmother, and I am going to ask JJ to be his godfather. I think he is going to be one spoiled little baby!!! Gotta get it done soon or he won't fit into the dress anymore. I will have more pictures to post soon, from our trip to Washington, so keep an eye on the picture page!! Other news, Duchess gets to come home today!!! I've missed my puppy the last 2 weeks, but doggy-boot camp has been soo good for her. I had to bring her home Saturday night so I could take her to the vet for an owie on her foot, and it was like I brought home a new dog. Today I will learn her new commands and how to work with her, I also have 2 followup appointments to make sure I'm still doing ok with the training. It'll be so nice to have a well-behaved dog!! On a personal note, I am finally under 200lbs!!!!!!! I haven't been this small since 5th grade. It is kind of weird to be able to share clothes with my little sister, and some of mine are smaller than what she wears! My grandpa took me clothes shopping while I was back in WA and bought me a new wardrobe for the summer, size 14/16!!!!! and...I'm still shrinking :) I will definatly need surgery to cut off the flabby tummy skin, but not for a long time, I want to have the rest of my kids before i do that, so probably 5-10 years...*laughs* it'll be that long before I'll have money for it anyways. So...that's my life in a nutshell....I would love to hear from anyone who wants to talk... btw...Lorrie, I don't believe you were at Dorothy's memorial weekend...I ALMOST stopped there with Jessie....but she had company, so we didnt stop....someone with a yellow car from Oregon....was that you?

Labor Pains
I dont know if anyone is interested in reading about me giving birth, but if your not, skip this post ;) April 25 I had a 7am appointment to be induced. About 8:30 they had me all hooked up to the machines and started giving me pitocin. I started having some pretty strong contractions, and at about 2pm I finally asked for my epidural. Other than that initial sting of the needle going in, and the added pain of having a contraction in the middle of it, it didnt hurt to bad. Within a half hour, the epidural kicked in, but wasn't covering the pain, so they gave me an additional dose in the epidural. That covered the pain. Later that evening, the baby's heart rate was declining in between contractions, which was not a good thing, it meant that he was getting stressed. The nurses called my Dr in, he said I was dilated to 5 finally, and that they'd give it another hour. Typically, once your dilated to 5 things move faster. An hour later, I was still dilated to 5 and baby was still having problems, so he decided to do the c-section. About 10pm they took me back to the operating room and pumped more drugs into my epidural so I wouldn't feel anything. My mom got to go back with me, and she ended up facinated with the surgery and took lots of pictures of them pulling him out. The reason his heart rate was going funny was because his umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck 4 times. He was also not fitting through my pelvis, his head had a huge dent on it where he had tried to fit. He came out and was handed to the NICU people who cleaned him up and checked him, but he was fine, so they handed him to my mom and she brought him to me. I wasn't able to hold him at that point, but I got to kiss him and talk to him. He is the most beautiful baby!!!! When I finally got a room and was released from recovery, I got to hold him. We were in the hospital 3 days, mostly for me to recover. It's been almost 2 weeks now, I'm still recovering, but it's getting better. The dr took out the staples before i left the hospital and then the steri-strips came off last week. The pain level is tolerable, I've been only taking one or two pain pills a day. I have been breastfeeding him the last couple weeks. Unfortunatly it seems to not be working, and I have to keep supplementing with formula. That gives my little guy a nasty tummy ache, so I've decided to just switch to formula, but now my boobs hurt!! Overall, he is a very healthy baby, there was almost no signs of jaundice. He is also quite strong, was starting to lift his head at less than a week old. He was born with a head full of hair, it looked dark at first, but now is almost the same color as his eyebrows and eyelashes - red! His eyes will change colors, but look to be dark blueish right now. Here is one of the pictures we got taken at the hospital. As soon as I find the cord for our camera, I'll add more pics. http://spaces.msn.com/lovlylady/photos/ Current Mood:  tired | | Friday, April 28th, 2006 | | 5:37 pm |

Life in Boise...
Well, its not 'home', thats for sure. I'm starting to get used to it here, although I still don't know where ANYTHING is. I miss knowing where I am and how to get where I want to be...this roaming around trying to find something SUCKS ASS!! Called about my puppy yesterday. She goes to the vet on Halloween, and I'll be able to bring her home sometime the week after, depending on what the vet says. She is almost weaned now. I can't wait to see her...I bet she's gotten so big since I last got to see her. She is 6 weeks old right now. Saturday I got my hair cut. It's kinda short, but everyone thinks its cute. If I take the time to actually put some mousse in, I have lots of curls now. I cried when they cut it, but I know that it NEEDED to be cut...and this way, by the time the baby is born it will be long enough for me to put back in a pony tail again. Went out Saturday night, to a local tavern. We sat there for about 3 hours, just listening to the live music. Pretty good band, although they were really young and singing the wrong kind of music. The singer has an ok voice, but not for the rock he was trying to do. The lead guitarist was very good though. He was playing by himself, probably warming up, when we got there...and mmmmmm I love listening to the guitar!! I discovered that 2 glasses of wine is enough to get me pretty buzzed. I would hate to see me with any hard alcohol now! In the space of 3 hours, I had 2 glasses of White Zin, and any more woulda had me walking funny. But, hey, I felt good! *laughs* I'm trying hard to not be depressed. This weekend was ok 'cause I had company the whole time...but during the week its so hard being alone all day. Sarah sleeps till noon and leaves for work by 1:30, she doesnt get off till 11pm. Mom is up at 6, out the door by 8 and she doesnt come home till 7 or 8, just in time to eat dinner and go to bed. We called about a house this weekend, gonna go see it soon, hopefully. If we like it, it's empty now and would probably close within a couple weeks. As soon as we get moved, I'm going to see about finding a job. Maybe even before we get moved. At least a part time job, something to do during the day. We'll see. I'm still tyring to get signed up on welfare. What a pain in the ass! But I need to get to a dr soon. I haven't felt the baby move since before I got here...which worries me. Everything I've read says its too early to feel her move...but I did when I was still in WA. I also need to get blood tests done, check for diabetes, etc. I'm 13 weeks right now...at 18 weeks I can find out whether she's a she or not. I hope so, but I went through all this baby stuff people have given me and most of it is for little boys. I'm sure I'll get more for girls...all I can do is wait and see, right?

| You Passed 8th Grade Math | 
Congratulations, you got 8/10 correct! |
| | Thursday, October 13th, 2005 | | 8:08 am |
Well, it's official now....I'm moved out of my house. It is so strange seeing it sit there all empty. Today I have to go back and clean it so it's ready for the new owner, that will probably take all day 'cause there is a lot of garbage left. Now that it's done, I'm ready to go and get settled in Boise, staying with my grandparents is always...awkward. Emotionally I'm a bit screwy right now. Saying goodbye to everyone is so hard, especially since I know that it's going to be awhile before I can see anyone again. And hardest of all, of course, was my man. It would be tough under normal circumstances to leave him, but now....everytime the baby moves it makes me think about him...I wish there were a way I could convince him to move with me *sighs* Anyways...if anyone wants to get ahold of me...use my gmail account. If you dont know the address, leave me a message here and I'll get it to you. Or just leave a message on here and I can reply. whatever. :) Current Mood: melancholy | | Tuesday, October 4th, 2005 | | 5:43 pm |
Mystic Theurge
14% Combativeness, 46% Sneakiness, 79% Intellect, 52% Spirituality |
Brilliant and spiritual! You are a Mystic Theurge!
Score! You have a prestige class. A prestige class can only be taken after you’ve fulfilled certain requirements. This may mean that you’re an exceptionally talented person, but it probably doesn't.
The Mystic Theurge is a combination of a cleric and a mage. They can cast both arcane and divine spells, and are good at both, making them pretty terrifying on the battlefield. They have more raw spellpower than just about any other class.
You're both intelligent and faithful, but not violent or deceitful. I guess that makes you a pretty good person. |

So there was an offer made on the house this week, should know today or tomorrow if they are going to buy or not...which means i have to be outa here by the 13th of October...*scary*. Looks like I'm moving to Boise afterall. Not too thrilled with it, but with the baby, I think its probably a better option, to be close to my mom, etc. Gonna miss people here soo bad though!!! I'll be back to visit and stuff, and depending on how it goes might move back after the baby is born. Promised my man I'd come back and give it a try, since I can't convince him to move with me..... Other than that...going to the dr soon to find out how my baby is doing....hopefully they will do an ultrasound and i'll get to see her :) |
