Baby Laines

How far along: 15 Weeks :)

Baby's size: a little over 4 inches, the size of an Apple  

Miss Anything: nothing food related, BUT i do miss not feeling like i'm going to explode every single time i eat!

Best moment this week: realizing that i'm fifteen weeks, and knowing that at our next appointment we will at least SCHEDULE the gender ultrasound!!

Movement: no, but i STILL can't wait for it to happen!!

Food cravings: fruit STILL LOVE IT!!!

Anything making you queasy or sick: CHICKEN!! I can eat it, IF it's mixed with something but chicken wings or anything that is just plain chicken makes me want to instantly GAG!!  So gross!!

Maternity Clothes: no, not yet, but I can feel my clothes getting tighter and tighter!! AND I'm NOT even have way there!!  :/

Stretch marks: no, and i'm praying every day i don't get them, even though i know it's going to happen :(

Symptoms I HAVE: still feel nausceous most days, and headaches :(

Doctor’s Appointment: we have ANOTHER appt next week, but i'm feeling like it's not going to be much, but we FINALLY get to meet our DR!  YAY!!  AND in two weeks we have another appt I'm hoping that at one of these appts they tell me if this baby is a he or she!! :D

Gender: still don't know yet, but i just feel like it's a girl! i'm probably just being hopeful but i really hope i'm right!

What I’m looking forward to: finding out if the baby is a HE or SHE!!!

Belly Button in or out: in

Wedding rings on or off: on, i'm dreading the day i have to take them off :( i love them too much

Happy or Moody most of the time: i'm happy most of the times, but it doesn't take much for me to get annoyed or upset...

Sleep: still waking up a lot at night, it's so annoying!!  BUT I did buy a new boppy pillow, so far so good, so hopefully it helps as the week goes on.

Showing: a little bit more then before, BUT I think I still look like I'm just gaining weight!  Victor swears you can tell, but clearly he's bias!

It's Okay Thursday

Here for you in another installment of "it's okay" brought to you by Brunch With Amber! I love doing these, because it allows me to link up AND it's fun to see what other people write.

So here we go...

It's Okay that....

.......I get excited when I see the it's okay post in my bloglovin because then I know that the work week is almost over! YAY!

.......I keep thinking about how I only have to work 1/2 a day tomorrow woot woot!

.......I desperately want to go to Disneyland this weekend!! :l Let's hope the husband thinks the same thing!

.......I want to move from our apt so bad, that I search on the internet daily for places that would suit us.

.......I get upset because apt owners don't let my little poms live with us when we see a beautiful apt in our price range that we love, and they don't allow dogs -.-

.......I really feel like if I'm awake after 10:30 pm I am going to die the next morning from tiredness, but it's so true!

.......I want to go to on vacation, so bad!

.......I want it to be summer already BECAUSE the weather is better, maybe there will be less traffic coming and going from work, and we are going on a family vacation!

.......I CAN'T wait for Memorial Day, and only because I get a day off of work!!!

.......I long for a teaching job, why can't i know someone who is a principal or superintedent so I could get the hook up :(

.......I really miss my dogs when I'm at work all day, especially on Tuesdays & Thursdays because I get home from work so late

.......I brought a salad for lunch, but want pizza now because the students are selling it and it looks so much better then my lunch!

Vacation!

Although I have a new job, and I am beyond grateful for little bit of extra money that it provides, the benefits are really what is keeping me here, do you have any idea what it feels like to not have health insurance, if you are lucky enough to not have to go through this then man you are lucky! it is a terrible feeling to think that if you get terribly sick or something terrible happens like a car accident that YES you can go to the doctors but you are also going to have a bill as high as a mortgage payment or HIGHER to go along with it! It really is a terrible thing to think about but with my new found health benefits, I am beyond EXCITED!

Okay, so let me get to the point of what this post is really going to be about! I have been seeing or hearing people talk about going on vacation or planning a vacation and man oh man am I beyond JEALOUS!

I can literally imagine myself here, oh man I wish.

I keep telling the husband that we need to plan a vacation, but we literally have so much going on. We are moving within the next couple of months and since you have to put a brand new deposit on a place, even though we won't get our original deposit back from our apt we live in now til a month later, it is kinda a lot of money to shell out...hints why we can't just up and plan a fun vacation :(

I have been getting living social deals for a while, but I've never actually heard anyone say they planned their trip with living social. I think we might have to take up one of these deals sometime soon, because I really want to go on an affordable vacation sometime soon!

Let's hope we win the lottery and can afford to go to Europe ASAP! :D

Baby Laines-12 weeks

How far along: a little over twelve weeks :)

Baby's size: 2.1 inches, the size of a plum

Miss Anything: i have been wanting a corona so bad that the other day i dreamt about it, wahhh so much longer until I can enjoy them again...good thing it's for an important cause

Best moment this week: telling the clan on easter sunday, it was really the BEST!! i am so beyond glad that we waited to tell everyone together instead of just calling people individually or texting or something, it was so cute! and everyone was so surprised! BEST Easter Sunday EVER!!

Movement: no, but i can't wait for it to happen!!

Food cravings: fruit, all day every single day, the other day i went to a party and literally ate THREE huge plates of cantalope, i swear it added up to 2 or 3 cantalopes...it's just so good

Anything making you queasy or sick: CHICKEN!! yuck i dont know why, but cooking it and touching it and even sometimes for the most part eating it makes me want to yak! the other day i was thinking what we were going to do with the leftover chicken for dinner that night and i seriously started gagging from just the thought of it, needless to say we didn't eat that chicken

Maternity Clothes: no, but steph did give me a belly band to use for some of my jeans that are kinda tight now especially my work clothes

Stretch marks: no, and i'm praying every day i don't get them, even though i know it's going to happen :(

Symptoms I HAVE: still feel nausceous most days, BUT i have been able to eat more, and i'm not so sure thats a good thing, and i've been having CRAZY dreams!!

Doctor’s Appointment: go for our first prenatal appt with kaiser next friday and i really can't wait!! i can't wait to see a real doctor instead of the ones i've been bounced around with at the clinic

Gender: we don't know yet, but i just feel like it's a girl! i'm probably just being hopeful but i really hope i'm right!

What I’m looking forward to:going to the doctors next friday, i really hope they give us a REAL ultrasound since the other ones we've had have been terrible!! i want to be able to see my baby and hear "her" without feeling like i'm bothering them...can't wait!!

Belly Button in or out:in

Wedding rings on or off:on, i'm dreading the day i have to take them off :( i love them too much

Happy or Moody most of the time: i'm happy most of the times, but it doesn't take much for me to get annoyed or upset...

Sleep:it used to be good, but the last couple of days i have been waking up a lot, lets hope its just this week

Showing: no i think i just look like i've gained weight, if someone saw me they'd probably think, wow she gained a lot of weight since i last saw her, i definitely think thats what people at work are thinking

It's Okay-Easter

So I found a link to an it's okay post it was titled Easter Edition and I loved it, so thanks to Faster Than Forever I too am going to do an It's okay, easter edition (hope she doesn't mind I'm copying her idea. Okay, so here it is link up to It's Okay! ON Brunch with Amber and enjoy :)

It's Okay that....

.........I had a RIDICULOUS amount of candy at my house yesterday while putting together FIVE Easter baskets! (and I have NO biological children)

.........I didn't actully buy Easter baskets because they are too expensive and get thrown away anyway but instead chose a bucket that has so many posiblities, (popcorn holder anyone?)

.........my cat tried to eat the cellophane that I was wrapping my wonderful buckets in (I truly think he is the only cat on the planet that eats things that aren't food...so weird!)

.........the hubby picked out more candy for himself then he did for the kids (he swears he didn't but I had a HUGE pile of candy left over that only had one of and could not be split by five)

.........I put a swimsuit in three of the five easter baskets and they are BEYOND cute! (is it still okay though that I didn't put any floaties because none of the three can swim?)

......... I came to the conclusion that NEXT year my godson with be TEN and old enough to enjoy a gift card instead of a Easter basket/bucket! Can't believe he's so big, what more I can't believe how old I am!!

........I gave away some of my tasks for Easter dinner, because some people weren't doing or bringing anything!

........I'm only making deviled eggs for Easter, and that I'm wayyyy too excited for them!! LOVE THEM!

........I'm more excited for Bionico's and Pink Stuff (a dessert that my grandma makes that is BEYOND delicious BUT sounds and LOOKS terrible) on Easter then the actual food!

........I keep hearing and seeing people write about how much they hate peeps and that they are so weird, when I have not in fact heard of anyone that does like them

........I have nothing to wear this weekend and I'm not totally stressed about it yet

........we want to go to church at six am to miss the crowd but are thinking it will probably be bad all day

........I'm so so so so so so so so excited for Easter more then I have EVER been before!! It's gonna be amazing I know it!!

Thanks for stopping by :D

Lovin' Life

Is it funny that the husband sent me this text message this morning, when I tell him this ALL of the time! Literally ALL of the time! I'll randomly be walking with him, or even sitting on our couch, look around and think wow our life really is great! AND IT IS!!! I love that we can do whatever we want, whenever we want, because it's OUR house, OUR things, OUR dogs, etc. On Sunday we were putting the dogs beds to wash, and I just thought of how much I love how we live, how much I love our relationship and everything that comes with it.

I probably sound like I'm bragging (and maybe I am a little, so what) but really I do love my life, and I can honestly say that! There is NOTHING (with the little tiny exception of wishing I had a real teaching job) that I don't love about our life together, and in truth I know it's only going to get better, and better and better! I LOVE YOU Mr. Laines :) you truly are the BEST husband that any girl could ask for and I LOVE OUR LIFE to infity :D

Linky Party

I have been reading a lot of blogs that have link parties and have always wanted to do one, so TODAY I am linking up with Brunch with Amber and doing...

It's OKAY Thursday! So here goes,

It's OKAY....

.....that I have been totally tired at work and haven't drank coffee, so have turned to Orange Juice instead.

....that I want PHO so bad that the hubby is bringing me some tonight so that I can eat it when I get off of work YES!

....that I work THREE late days this week, I guess they're making up for that day last week that I switched to work early? LAMEEEE

....that I always feel stressed, I need to do something to calm my anxiety and stress level, anyone know of anything that can help?

....to be excited that I haven't had to cook all week, because we ate at the in-laws and my parents last night :)

....to be excited for both lunch and dinner tonight

....to be counting the days until next pay day.

....to want to go to disneyland this weekend, even if it is just for a pineapple float SOOOOOO GOOD!

....to be cold all the time.

...that I entered a giveaway over at brunch with amber and you should too! :)

....to be excited about my late days, because it means I get an extra three hours of sleep YAYYY!

....to be excited that Easter is coming, but NOT excited because I have yet to start on any Easter baskets and THIS year there are FOUR!

This is my first time linking up, but it was actually pretty fun :)

March 13th

It's amazing that in the past couple of years I have really become quite attached to the #13. It's true. It's probably the reason why I chose our wedding to be on the 13th. I do love Friday the 13th, and no I don't think it's a scary day. I LOVE it!! It probably has to do with my grandpa, today is his birthday and I use to love when he would get excited to go to Vegas for his bday and it landed on a Friday!

Today, I thought about him more then I usually do and today I know more then normal EVERYONE is missing him a little more! I can't even begin to explain the hurt that my family felt the day that he passed, actually I can't even explain the hurt we still feel, every holiday, get together, actually most times I go to my grandma's house I expect him to be sitting in his chair, asking me "OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH so nice of you to come see your grandparents" My dad must get this from him....it is amazing how fast three years goes by and it is even more amazing that not a day goes by that we don't miss him. You would think, that after three years it would get easier, but I think it's the opposite, because you think of all the things that have happened in three years, that he didn't get to see. It really does remind you that you can't ever take life for granted because it truly can be gone in an instant.



he's so funny

Soooo, today is his bday and usually I feel sad, and miss him more then ever and spend the day just thinking, BUT today, for some reason TODAY I feel like he is watching over me. I heard once on a TV show that was talking spirits that when you feel they are with you, and you can truly feel it, then they are. And I truly feel like today he is with me!!! It makes me miss him a little less today, because I know he is here! So happy birthday grandpa, you truly were the BEST grandpa that ANYONE could EVER ask for!!! It's true! You spoiled us and yelled at us and you showed us how to make "us" popcorn! I LOVE YOU so much and MISS you more then ever, BUT today I don't miss you so much I just feel happy because I can feel you here!!!

Daylight Savings Time

pics on Sodahead

This is EXACTLY how I look this morning, I literally woke up with thirty miniutes to get ready :( I don't really understand Daylight Savings, I would rather we just keep the clocks this time all year around, it makes total sense doesn't it? We are the same time as AZ. It always gets darker later....we don't have to looose anymore sleep every spring. Seems like the PERFECT solution to me! :)

I am not going to lie, in fall when I wake up and it's now NINE instead of TEN I'm super duper excited BUT when spring comes around and I have to give that damn hour back it SUCKS!!!

Okay, that's it just wanted to go on a little rant since I've been counting the hours until I'm home in my bed since I woke up this morning, yes before I got in the shower, and yes before I got ready, and yessssss before I even got on the freeway for my hour communte! ohhhhhhhh man for some reason I do not think that this day is going to go fast enough for me. NOPE not ONE bit!

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

soooooooooo....

I started working! AND so far so good :) I am happy to be working and bringing money in that we didn't have before, BUT it does suck when I have to wake up at 5:30 OR not get home until 9 pm :( BUT I do like my job and I feel like I have already accomplished a lot in the short two weeks that I've been here :)

ON to other news, it was my LOVES bday this week. I just realized that I've been blogging for over a year because I know I've blogged about his bday before. BUT he just turned 27 and I really can't believe it! I can't believe that I will be 27 in just a short few months, really, where has the time gone?? I can remember like YESTERDAY being excited to start high school, or the time when I cried because I didn't want to stay in college, because it was way too far away, after all I kept telling my family for four years before was that I was going to go AWAY to college to get the WHOLE college experience. All I wanted desperatately was to go home, and communte to college, wow! where has time time gone?

It is lent season, and I especially like this time at church, minus the fact that church is wayyyyyyyy more crowded during this session and usually wayyyyyyyy ridiculous on Easter Sunday, BUT the messages are always in my opition anyway more insightful during the Easter season and i love it. they started a new "bible study" if you can call it that, for young married couples but it focuses more on how to get along and how to stay married, forever. I know that me and my love don't have any problems right now that would even be remotely to getting a divorce, actually BOTH of us have the exact same opinion about that and it is not going to happen. when we said forever, thats exactly what we went, and I wouldn't have it any other way :) BUT these really can't hurt, if anything we could maybe meet some other couples that are fun and share the same beliefs that we do. hopefully we can make it to one soon.

I have been reading more and more blogs and every single time I read them i think why am i not writing a post on my own blog, and it's probably because I don't really know how to make my blog cute or anything like that, so i really need to get on that, and learn how to do that. i love blogging even if it is just for myself :)

Okay, this post is wayyyyy too long BUT i have taken some advice for fellow bloggers that i have read and i know now that if you plan on writing about a topic, then you would write more posts so i think i'm gonna start doing that THIS week! Until then...

Jade :)
