Where have I been?????

Some of you may be asking yourself that. Well here's the skinny on what's going on. I got laid off, o.k. fired. They said the job was over my head. I think we all know what really happened. I can't beleive it. So I am trying to find a job now. The timing could not be worse for me. We just bought our house. I have a mortgage payment, daycare and all the other expenses and no job. I interviewed with my mom's company. She works at a dialysis clinic in Indiana. I did really well at the interview, but they have to take transfers frist and there are two people that are transfering from Michigan. I am not sure when that is happening so I am on hold until they figure out what is going on. I think the change in career is just what I need right now. Perhaps being an admin assistant is not the right job for me. :) I am keeping my spirits up and hoping that I get this other job. The company is opening another clinic, but no word yet on when that will happen. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers. I deperately want to find a career that is a good fit for me. I am tired of jumping jobs I want a career with beneifts!!!!!!!!!!

Success!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some of you may have been wondering where I have been. Well I have been working my tush off to try and get all the Insurance for our subcontractors. My company is getting audited today. The final certificate came in about a 1/2 hour ago. I was seriously worried about my job there for a second. My boss told me you call these people every 15 minutes until they send it to you. That was at 7 this morning. I actually called and woke this one guy up. :( I am not the greatest at phone calls I am too passive. But all is well in my world now.

Update

We are moving this weekend to our new house. i have posted a photo for your enjoyment. I am so excited I can hardly contain myself. This is our very FIRST home. I can now say I am officially a home owner. We moved a few things last weekend but this weekend we will actually stay all night at the house and be oficially moved in. Jillian will have her own room which i hope will help me get some sleep. She still wakes up in the middle of the night. I think it might be because I go and get her. So maybe if I don't hear her as well I won't be getting up with every little wimper. We have a baby monitor so who knows. I am happy to be blogging again I think this will help me vent some frustrations. I HOPE!!!!

O.k. so today i do not have a tale for you. I am here to vent about work. I work in an office with only 5 guys. It's a small company. There is a guy in this office we will call him "The Snake" he keeps making up stories and telling the only things that I "said" which I never said. The owner comes to me and asks if I said "I don't know what I need to get done now" I said no I have the things that need to get done on my board in my office. he says" Ididn't thin kI would have to tell you what to do". Nice. I hate the snake he is just a backstabber he will just tell you what you want to hear then he lies behind your back. he twists your words so bad. So my plan is to not talk to him. If possible. :) any body else have this problem before?

O.k. so I can honestly say it's been forever since I have written in this. but I wanted to start up again. I now have a new job that I love. It is stressful but I need the challenge some days. Jillian is doing great. She is 8 months old she weighs 18 pounds and 2 ounces. She is 28 inches tall. I have a feeling she will probably be petite. Which is sometimes a good thing. I still have a weight battle I can't seem to get this weight off to save my life. Perhaps trying to exercise would help. :) So did you guys miss me or what?

Ultrasound Pictures

Here are the ultrasound pictures we went yesterday. They moved my due date up to April 26th. That makes me 21 weeks tomorrow. Wow how time flies.

I have a new website.


Hi everyone I am so sorry I haven't been on here. Baby and I are doing alright. We have moved to another website. For some strange reason we cannot get onto this one to read it. I also cannot get onto any of my blogging friends sites to get updates from them. Our new website has a password to get on it. If you would like to visit the new website please email me and let me know so that I can email you the username and password. I haven't forgotten about all of you, but I really can't get on here and I got frustrated. Oh BTW our ultrasound is on December 12th. Then we will know for sure what we are having. I can't wait. That is also Jim's birthday I thought it would be a great gift for him to see the baby for the first time. :0 I miss all of you so please email me with updates and to get the new website info.

I think I smell Popcorn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Well I think the baby is finally big enough to move around and I can feel it. From what I have read this is a little soon to be able to feel it, but who knows. I know it is not gas which is what everyone says. I was laying in bed last night and I kept feeling something hitting the inside of my stomach. This is the most wonderful feeling EVER. I can't wait till Jim cacn be able to feel it. He will love it. I may never be able to sit on the couch alone again LOL. Our next doctor's appointment is not until Nov. 20th so we have a little wait.. But at the next appointment we will schedule our unltrasound. Then we will know if we are having a boy or a girl. I have mixed feelings I kept feeling girl, but now I am thinking what if I am wrong so I will wait to see what happens. :)

It's shopping time AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

O.k. so I am down to two pairs of pants MAYBE. The khakis that I am wearing and maybe my black courdoroy's but I haven't tried them on. I think I am going to go to Target today and see if I can get at least o ne more pair of pants to get me through the week. Jim and I are going to Old Navy in Anderson this weekend so that I can get some maternity clothes. I have just been buying bigger sizes, but now I have to breakdown and buy maternity. This is getting too expensive at least the maternity clothes will last me till May. The Old Navy in Anderson is the only one that has Maternity clothes, and they have my size of clothes before pregnancy. I guess there aren't too many size 0-1 people pre pregnancy. I think by now my waist has gained a total of 9 inches. I am now a 34 in the waist. I might look at Walmart as well on my lunch break it depends which one I want to go to. They are on different sides of town and I can't go to bot and still eat my lunch.

Week 13!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


This is your final week in the first trimester and your little weed continues to grow and grow and grow. Of the three trimesters, this one has been the most important for your little one’s development. Assuming you’ve carefully adopted a healthy diet, exercise and ample rest, your little one is set up perfectly for even more growth and development in tri two! Way to go! He or she now weighs about 2.5 ounces and is roughly 3.5” in length. Little hairs, known as lanugo, will start to cover their body this week, as their sense of taste and smell are further refined. Their cozy little amniotic sac is also increasing in size and mass, as it continues to fill with more fluid.
And how's mom doing? Congratulations on a successful first trimester! A lot has happened (and there’s a lot more to come). You should be proud of your hard work and sacrifice. Giving up lattes, soda and wine is not easy. Even if you snuck in a few of these goodies over the past 13 weeks, don’t dwell on it—there’s a lot to look forward to.
Besides, now is the perfect time to rededicate yourself if you have had a few lapses. Remember, every day and decision is an opportunity to improve your eating and exercise habits—your baby and your body will thank you in the long run.
If you’re the planning type, you can celebrate the beginning of your next trimester by purchasing some choice maternity clothing to fit your elegantly evolving new shape. The good news is some fashion designers are realizing that being pregnant doesn’t mean you can’t look sharp, sexy, sporty, or whatever your particular style might be. Cruise the online stores for a preview of the range of fashion out there for pregnant women—even if the local shops are still stuck in the nineties, you can always hit up some chi-chi online store based out of NYC! If you’d rather wait a few more weeks (until you really start to show) before making any purchases, then get ready to dig out your sweat pants, over sized t-shirts, and any other comfy loose fitting clothes you’ve got at your disposal. At the very least, just unbutton that top button on those pants that still “almost fit”. Come on, you’re pregnant! This is definitely not the time to suffer for fashion.

Doctor's Appointment.

Yesterday was my Doctor's appointment. I have gained 5 poounds since the last appointment. I now weigh 113. My stomach is still aout the same measurement though. My blodd pressure was 100/40. I guess that is good. I heard the baby's heartbeat again, storng and loud. Aparrently the baby is a bit shy though beause each time we listen it goes and hides after a while. It's shy or really active. Knowing Jim and I it is probably active because we are definately not shy. :) I have attached a link it is not of our baby's heartbeat, but it is of a baby's heartbeat. I hope it works :)
