Red Riding Hood!

my husband took me to see this movie tonight and i must say its awesome! i know we are probably behind in the times but we wait for the movies to come to the 3 dollar theater its cheaper and we like that especially with our little baby on the way we need to save as much as possible. but anyway i was a little afraid of seeing it i wanted to watch it but im really sensitive to horror (it makes me puke my guts up not a fun thing to do when your trying to watch something) but i decided i simply must go see it regardless. lucky for me is isn't horror. suspense definitely it was very twisty ( i hope you know what i mean) i was guessing till the last minute who the wolf was and i was totally blown away. i would not suggest you see this movie at a theater if you have issues like with dizziness i nearly threw up at the opening because the scream moves alot i mean alot its very twisty and such even made the hubby a bit nauseous lol.any way it was a great movie and we cant wait for it to come to DVD so we can buy it i think Gracie liked it too she kicked me hard for 10 min i could actually see my belly moving its really crazy.also while im here i have to say that im surprised i having gained tons of weight yet i think im like only up 15lbs from my pre pregnancy weight and ive only gained 2lbs this whole month! i was 166 at the beginning of the month now at the end im 168. the best part is im eating what i want as much as i want. although im eating healthy now i know that i will need to eat heather once the baby comes so i can loose more weight then what i came in to this with im gonna shoot for 115 to 120 which is a much healthier weight then my pre pregnancy which was i thing 155 or something like that.im exercising and im walking around and working all day so im pretty active which it think has help alot i feel like im all baby and i certainly look it (except my hips and thighs but just don't look there lol) i feel like i finally don't look "just fat" and that makes me happy. im hoping that my belly button will pop it looks like it might any day now that will be awesome! well im super sore and tired so i gotta head to bed!

On turning twenty two and growing Gracie.

So today i turned twenty two. do i feel different no. do i feel older?  maybe a little but i think that's only because im about to become a mom and not because i turned a number. my birthday was okay we ran errands mostly then i went to work its okay its a Thursday and we both have to work. honestly im more excited that today im 23 weeks pregnant then the fact that im 22 this is the last week of my fifth month and every day i can feel Gracie moving around more and more it makes me happy when i start to feel a little blue to feel her wriggling around in there. shes now about a pound and growing fast. i get upset sometimes that my husband isn't interested in how our daughter is growing week by week and i just have to remember that hes a guy and its okay for him to not care about the little things like that. he loves her and he rubs and kisses my belly all the time so im not worried id just like to talk about this stuff with him and not get him saying im not really interested. oh well any way also tomorrow we are going to celebrate my birthday with dinner and a movie its gonna be so fun!

fearless about birth

so i kinda find it odd that im not scared to have my baby. like not at all isn't that strange? i know alot of ladies i talk to who are pregnant with me that just are super scared but i don't understand why. maybe im the weird one but i know that everything will be fine a hospital is a very controlled by the book place, my doctor is extremely competent and knows how to easy my fears even when something worrisome is happening. there is one thing i am afraid of concerning labour and that is the epidural strange right? those things can mess you up! if they place it wrong it could kill you or permanently damage you, not to mention if you have allergies to certain kinds of anastasia you could have a bad reaction. i really want to have as natural a birth as i can handle which for me means i'd rather not have the epidural. the hubby doesn't necessarily like this idea he thinks that i should get one so that i can just relax but i feel like i could do it if i i try i want to at least try. have a pretty good tolerance for pain and im pretty sure that i can have this baby with out a Cesarean so i don't see why it would be medically necessary for me to get an epidural unless i cant take the pain. women had children for thousands of year with little to no pain relief why couldn't i be strong enough to do the same at least for a little while.things are so freely handed to us these days i don't know i just want to work a little for my little girl. im not trying to say that if you get an epidural your cheating or are wussing out because who knows i may get to the hospital and practically scream for one lol hopefully not. im just saying that to me feeling the pain of child birth seems like the thing to do. i can hardly wait for august to get here some days it feels really close and others if feels like its years away. i want my little Gracie here already. that's my hardest thing waiting. in other news i went to the optometrist today and i asked him is it true that when you are pregnant your eyes change? he told me that its very rare actually and so getting your prescription renewed while pregnant is okay. ive had people tell me that i should wait to do it but i just couldn't i have started getting headaches. he said that my eyes have changed ( not caused by the baby but by the fact that it has been almost 4 years since i got my prescription) my near sightedness its a little worse but my astigmatism is gone which is good i don't remember him telling me i had one but it was 4 years ago lol. so i get new glasses! medicaid only pays for certain ones so my new frames even though they are cute they  are also  purple normally i hate purple but they are like lavender so its a little better. anyway this is along post so i better stop i know it takes a while to read when i write this much lol good night

Easter eve &my cousins wedding

today was a great day though very busy. we got up and got ready to go the Easter egg hunt at grandma and grandpa pulhams when baby decides to keep you up till 3 in the am its hard to get going. once we were there we started looking for eggs in the pasture its really hilly and overall lumpy my hip began to hurt the rest of my body followed shortly so i had to keep sitting down. lucky for me my husband helped fined my eggs we each got six except my poor hubby because somebody stepped on his. then we ate baby and daddy's favorite food HOT DOGS! yep that's right our little girl loves hot dogs lol like father like daughter ha ha. any way then we announced the we were in fact having a girl. after we had eaten and talked as long as we could we headed home to go do some shopping.i had to go get wic and we also had to get stuff from costco amazing store that is lots and lots of stuff too look at. then i cane home and got ready to go to my cousin Jessica's wedding. my husband helped me tie a ribbon around my waist and when i turned around he said holy crap your PREGNANT! i laughed.  he wasn't feeling too hot so he stayed home and i left for my cousins wedding it was absolutely gorgeous her colors were like a bright pink and sage green perfect for spring. her dress just beautiful her and her new husband are so cute together. the decor very pretty. it was at the Alpine art center such a pretty place inside and out. the food was great and the dancing was loads of  fun i kinda wish my husband had been there to dance with me but it was alright. then when they were getting ready to leave there was a Cinderella coach waiting for them it was so pretty. not really something for me since im absolutely terrified of horses im not sure why but i am. but was beautiful. and to top the day off i lost my voice this will be fun at the baby blessing tomorrow lol!

braxton hicks

wow i just had my first braxton hicks contraction a few minutes ago. it was the weirdest, coolest feeling. my belly got really hard and i got cramps it lasted about a minute then it was gone i didn't think i would be feeling them this soon it made my day. being sick is no fun but this made it better contractions may not sound like fun but just knowing that our little girl is getting bigger is just so great. i can feel her so much better  she actually kicked my hand off it was cute. i cant wait for her to get here i really wish we knew what her name is lol any help is appreciated love ya guys!

cold!

really body really? we haven't been sick in like 5 years and 5 months into this pregnancy i get a cold man this sucks i thought your immune system was suppose to get stronger not weaker im so irritated by my sore throat achy body and not being able to breath through my nose. worst part i cant take any cold med because im pregnant gurr! so i have to live with this and i cant just stay home and rest i have work today bah not much i can do i have to go but its just gonna suck. hopefully i don't have to mark im super dizzy and i don't want to fall down. dose any one have any ideas to help me get through this?

Baby Adams gender party (4/17/2011)

Our gender party was a great success! all my family showed up we did the voting Bord
my sister had to vote team purple lol. i know the dots probably don't look it but they are suppose to be bees
the theme was what will it bee. so almost everything was bees.

we also did a candy count and a name suggestion we had everyone write a boy and girl name to help us in our quest for a name for our little girl it was really fun though someone got a little crazy with the names (no Lara we will not be naming her squid ward lol)

there are a few candidates though.

this is me concentrating on putting the letters on the reveal cake. my hand

hurt so bad after but then we have this beautiful piece of art

my mom did the flying bees i think it turned out way cute! it was so hard to wait through dinner and games just to let everyone know but i was good.

while we waited for every one to finish up dinner my sister and i went out side to take some pictures unfortunately this is the only one that turned out but its really really cute i look ginormous there really is no room for her to go but out i promise there is only one in there he he.

my mom made this cute clothes line i loved it  this was part of the decor such a fun thing.

my little brother dressed as a bumble hes a cutie!

Day 04 - A picture of your night

hmmm i don't think i have a picture that represents that  sorry. we had a date last night super fun! and baby had its first hot dog and liked it i was worried about that because while i was eating it i started to get a bit sick but it stayed down. then we came home and watched mash and went to bed

It's a......!

i cant tell you what it is yet but we know what it is and even though i was terrified about my ultra sound one i got it done i felt much better i did cry though it was awesome to see that our baby is healthy and wiggly it makes me so happy its growing great. as to what it is all i can say is we know for sure what it is!! now i cant wait for 10 tomorrow

anatomy scan!

At exactly this moment  tomorrow  morning (9:10 am) we will be at the Dr.s see our little baby for the first time im so excited and yet im a bit nervous. what if something is wrong? what if im disappointed ? what if there isn't a baby in there at all? i know i know silly questions. nothings going to be wrong, your not gonna be disappointed, and YES Sarah there is a baby in there. but i still cant help it maybe its the fact that i will have visual proof and then i really cant pretend its not happening and that we really are going to have a baby. not that i don't love him or her im just starting to get a little nervous and scared i know there is no reason and that i know what im doing for the most part but there is a part of me going what the heck were you thinking! though i admit its only a small part but its nagging at me.i feel like im going to be a bad person if i feel a little disappointed if its not a girl not  because i think I'll love it less if its a boy but because ive always wanted a little girl. i know that if its a boy it doesn't mean im never going to get a girl. and if it is a boy and i am slightly disappointed i will never admit it!!!!!! never! i will love my baby no matter what and i say this because i have a feeling that there would be some one who would hold it against me or tell  me that im stupid for think like this. if that's you please don't comment (just saying ) i feel bad just think that i might feel this way i don't need anyone rubbing it in my face. im terrified something is going to be wrong with it not necessarily something we can see or detect until its born. like being deaf that has to be my top worry because my hearing loss is genetic i really don't want to pass that on it was difficult for me as a kid it still is but i make the best of it. i would just rather our baby didn't have to go through all the crap i did. i had a hard time fighting for my rights and getting what i needed to be successful in school and otherwise. idk if i could go through that from the other side. well at least i will have 2 questions answered tomorrow hope all goes well.

I love my blog!

when i started this thing i never thought that it would be this fun. i thought it would be hard to remember to post things or have anything to post at all! now i have a hard time not posting twice in one day i enjoy it so much its like having a public journal which is cool and you can customize it to look like you want it to i spent 4 hours total revamping my blog yesterday me! computer illiterate me! now look how cute it is. i found a video to make a header because that was bugging me that my blog didn't have one it look so bare and generic now its me! so if you need help im here! its really not that hard once you know how to do it i used picknic to make mine well okay i got the background from shabby blogs but i did the writing on it! big accomplishment that used to be over my head by a mile. i hope you guys are having as much reading as i am posting im probably not the most exciting person to read about but its nice to know that their are those who read it! i have more followers then i thought possible i though maybe id get a couple but 11 is just great! it be cool to have more but im grateful for all of you!

day 3 of 30

A picture of the cast from your favorite show

I'd have to say because i don't watch alot of TV the one show i do enjoy watching is bones i don't set my watch to see it but if it comes on while im flipping through channels i will watch it!

yay for pain relief and chines!

today was a long cold wet day. but it was a good one after work at least lol. my parents picked me up from work and we went all over tar-nation looking for the belly support kid to kid didn't have the right one and target didn't have one at all so we had to brake down and drive all the way to orem to babies r us and get one there which surprisingly enough was the cheapest option! 30 bucks everywhere else for a new one was 45-60 bucks ridiculous right?! but i had to get one the pain just get too bad so it was buy one or quit working and endure the pain. so here's to no pain! also we went and satisfied a craving of chines food for dinner it was sooo good. just a little over 2 days until our ultrasound and we hopefully can find out what it is. we decided that we will know for a full day before any one else then tell just the parents and Sib's on tuesday we have a special surprise planed shhh! i cant wait. then the Sunday after we find out, the 17Th we are having a gender reveal party to let my side know what we are having we are gonna have them dress up in pink or blue vote on whether its a boy or girl and have a name suggestion box and maybe have a jelly bean counting game not sure on that one also a wives tale game so they can say what ones i match. then we will have my Nana cut the cake to reveal what it will be! we are doing a bee theme i want a banner that says what will it bee? im so excited the weekend cant get over fast enough!

day 2 of 30

A picture of you and the person you have been closest with the longest

that would have to be my mom shes the greatest. i hope when my baby gets here that I'm at least as good of a mother as she is, she always listens with out judging and only wants the best for me. this picture was taken at the scandinavian festival in Oregon in 2010 (the date stamp is wrong on the picture)

whats was really wrong with me!

so i finally figured out what is wrong with me. i have round ligament syndrome. basically  the ligament that holds my uterus in is cramping and stretched and hit hurts so so so bad my regular doctor found this out in like 30 seconds i was so pissed! i went to the hospital and got unnecessarily poked and prodded. i was so angry. on a happy note I'm measuring right on heart beat is strong and we find out what we are having on Monday at 9:10 in the morning. catch is we're not telling anyone till Tuesday when we tell our parents. then we're not telling anyone else till Sunday bahahha! its gonna be so fun to keep it a secret and Sunday we are doing our gender reveal party for my side and friends we are dyeing the cake either pink or blue depending on what it is
i cant wait to find out what it is Monday cant come fast enough and its gonna be nice to have a whole day where only us two know. i love my new little family i don't know what i ever did with out them they mean everything to me this little thing growing in me is just so amazing and i cant wait to see what it looks like and hold him or her!

appendix trouble??

hi everyone, so no  good  news here. i went to work today and had really hard day because i didn't have a Dr. note to sit down at work so my body was in alot of pain especially my lower right side it was throbbing and was feeling horrible i was all red faced and could hardly stand but i made it to five o clock but didn't think i could walk home so i called my mom and she came and got me and we decided that it was better to be safe then sorry and we went to the after hours clinic at my Dr. office and the Dr there said that it could be appendicitis! bah scary right its really painful and i would have to have surgery to fix it while I'm pregnant that's what really freaks me out. me going under is fine but my baby going under the knife before its even born? that's a bit scary. I'm not a fan of surgery because we have something on my side of that family that's called malignant hypothermia its like regular hypothermia only caused by an allergic reaction to anesthesia and you can die from it! my dads brother died from it when he was two. also when i told the doctor the wernt letting me sit down at work she almost fell out of her chair! and said that that's not cool and quickly wrote me a note say that i have to sit down because of this pain and because I'm pregnant. when we got to the hospital and they did the ultra sound he wasn't aloud to show me my baby because he was checking other things. he checked for cysts on my right ovary and water on my right kidney it wasn't any of that but they couldnt find my appendix to check it but that's not abnormal in pregnant women if it gets worse then i have to go back and get a CAT or a MRI which will really really suck but on a happy exciting note the tech let us see the baby's feet so i know there's one in there for sure now lol. well i gotta go lay down maybe go to sleep if i can stupid pain. i cant get the med until tomorrow because walmarts pharmacy closes at like nine!
