So much to share!

SO the latest and greatest news is that our 3D/4D ultrasound went really well! It was SOOOOOOO worth the trip and money!!! It was absolutely amazing to be able to watch baby moving around in there, yawning and stretching and kicking, absolutely amazing!

The trip was very fast, we literally ate breakfast and lunch in the car heehee. On the bright side I did manage to get some maternity clothes, YAY! And one of the best purchases was the stroller/car seat travel system that was on sale at Toys R Us for $100 off! Can you beat a sale like that?! So here is the travel system we bought, I love the colors but it's hard to see them in the picture but they are very soft and pretty. And the one hand gravity fold is an awesome feature I am sure I will be loving!

 

DH bought me the coolest photo tower at Costco, it is brown leather and so cool. It came with 12 albums on 4 shelves (behind a door) and 3 drawers. On the front of the door and the drawers are places to put your pictures! I wanted this so bad and so he surprised me with it as an early Valentines day present. So I have been making layouts to go into the front slots (5 x 7 size) and here is my latest...My Heart Belongs To You...

credits can be seen here.

 

Now on to the BIGGEST AND BEST news! Hee hee I had to drag it out didn't I, LOL! May I present to you Our Little Girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She looks so precious in this picture, with her little hand up by her face, those little fingers...well all of it just makes my heart melt! I am in awe of the miracle of life!!! Utterly breathtaking!!!!! We can't wait to meet her!!!!!

A Layout and an Update!

Wow I cannot believe I actually did a layout! I am not 100% happy with it but it's pretty much complete and pretty much what I envisioned. I cannot believe how it came about, I logged into DST one night and saw a layout I loved on the front page and actually went and bought the kit they used right then and there, it was my first time ever doing that LOL! And I LOVE it, for my pregnancy pics and baby pics it will be perfect! So here is my layout...Waiting in the Wings...

I used both pink and blue as we still do not know if it's a boy or girl in my ever expanding belly. ;) For credits see here.

We are also going to get our 3D/4D ultrasound THIS FRIDAY!!!! I CANNOT wait!!! It means a 6 hour drive round-trip but that's ok...we can do some shopping too ;) heehee. Maybe since I am pregnant and will be "oh so exhausted" from the trip etc I can lay down in the back of the van and watch a movie with dd, that would be fun! Heehee.

Well that's it, just wanted to share my layout cuz it's rare when I get one done and most of all I wanted to share the exciting news of the next ultrasound. This time we better find out what this bean actually is, LOL! ;)

Have a great night y'all!

First Pictures!

So the ultrasound went really well, baby seems healthy and all appears to be great so that's awesome!!!! We are so happy for that and just can't wait to meet this little one! There was no 100% determination on whether it's a boy or girl but the technician says she would guess it's a girl! Yippee!!!

 

We'll have another u/s done ( hopefully 4D) in the next few months and maybe just maybe we can find out 100% then heehee. Baby was jumping around so much inside that the tech had a hard time getting any great pictures but here are the 4 that we got to take home. :) These remind me of those pictures you had to stare at for hours to figure out what they were hahahaha!!! All I need to know is that it's baby and my heart melts.

 

Here is baby's spine

And baby's Heart

  

Have a great day!!!!! :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

I can't wait

So tomorrow is the day, my first ultrasound and I will be 19 weeks! Yippee!! Man they sure do like a gal to wait here, this will most likely be my one and only unltrasound unless I have problems. Although hubby and I are thinking about having a 4D one done in another city that offers it. I wish I got more chances to sneak a peek at this little babe! ;)

First of all I can't wait to make sure baby is HEALTHY and next...I cannot wait to see if it's a boy or girl! Yeah we're gonna peek and we can't wait to find out! ;)

Wish us luck, I can't wait to finally "know" that all is going well in this belly of mine! :)

Long time no blog

Well I figured I'd update this poor neglected blog for my parents ;) Not much new right now, I am so excited that it is almost Christmas but wishing I had some vacation time booked to enjoy it. :(

Pregnancy is going along well, I am 15 weeks or so right now and still sick as a dog most days. The morning sickness pills only help a bit and they still knock me out so I only take them at night to take the edge off in the mornings. I have a Dr appointment tomorrow but it will just be routine, nothing too exciting since we have already heard the heart beat for the first time. Don't get me wrong, hearing it again will still be exciting just not new lol.

I am anxiously awaiting the ultrasound on January 11th...I can't wait to see this baby and hopefully find out if we'll be having a little boy or girl! ;) I HAVE to know so that I can FINALLY start shopping and decorating correctly, lol. Nothing gender neutral for this momma-to-be lol!

We are also wanting to get a 4 D ultrasound done but that has to be done 3 hours away from here so we will be waiting until around 30 weeks or so like our Dr. recommended.

And can I just vent about Maternity shops?! We have ONE, yes ONE in this city of ours and they hardly have anything! UGH! I have resorted to wearing DH's shirts for now but a girl wants to feel pretty sometimes. (I still look in the mirror every day and wonder when am I going to start glowing?! Between all the skin issues and sick feelings and hair needing to be colored I feel sooooo unattractive lol.) The nearest decent maternity store is 2 hours away and well it's not that exciting either so who knows what this lady will be wearing in the near future hahahaha!

I DID find out that Lane Bryant has maternity and SHIPS TO CANADA! Oh those lovely 3 words lol, it seems like no one ships to Canada so you can bet I will be ordering up a storm in the next few days heehee. ;)

Well I will update the next time we have something exciting to share, otherwise at least you know I am here (times 2 lol) and still kickin!

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!

Shakespearian Angst lol

O Computer, New Computer! wherefore art thou New Computer?

10 Days cannot come soon enough for this girl! LOL! Still no word on my new computer but I am calling tomorrow to see where it's at, as it should be done soon! I can't wait! Besides designing I truly need to scrap, when I am frustrated with designing or just anything I find I feel better when I am scrapping which is something I am not able to really do right now. This computer slows down more and more day by day and PS freezes when I try and attempt the simplest things. So here I sit again.....

O Computer, New Computer! wherefore art thou New Computer?

New kit! :)

I FINALLY have a new kit in my store, heehee. I have been working on this one for a while now but just never had the time for the finishing touches. I am so excited it's finally done! :)

It's called Littlest Cowgirl and is inspired by pictures I have of my DD learning to ride her Grandfather's horse. I hope you all like it! Take a look! It's in my Digital Candy store now!

 

 

 

Hope everyone is having a great week! Happy almost thanksgiving to all my Canadian friends and relatives! I can't wait for turkey day! There just may be a sale to commemorate the holiday at Digital Candy so stay tuned for more details! ;)
