Snakes, Snails, and Puppy Dog Tails...

OR Sugar N Spice and everything Nice

Well heres how the doctors appointment went:
We were called back I detoured to the bathroom for my wonderful "sample" while James headed to the room.
I got to the room and sat on the lovely pink chair in the same room as my first appointment.
The nurse had me get on the scale checked my weight then my blood pressure, did something with my sample before disposing of it... and then left.
Dr. Rost entered the room asked the "How are we doing today" question shook our hands, turned on the ultrasound machine, grab the nice and warm gel and towel got me set to go, turned off the lights, and started the show.
Now I did say last time if the baby cooperates we will find out... now this child was super jumpy and active the last appointment but for some reason was set on staying calm and collected while stradling the placenta perfecting in the "area" so... that would only lead the doctor to jiggle mommys tummy right... well nothing. So Dr Rost went about his business and measured things he needed to and checked everything that needed to be checked. In the middle of this check he came back and jiggled, gave his opinion on what he thought it might be and went back to checking other things. We went back one last time were he jiggled everything quite well that the baby bounced off for just a little bit, we got a glimpse and settled right back into its spot... well what is Dr Rosts 95% positive guess but he promises no gurantees....

A GIRL!

Yes we were hoping for a boy just because its a 6-1 deficit on the Blakes side but I guess we keep with tradition of not having boys! I honestly was bummed a bit not because its a girl and I have told James from the beginning its because when it comes to little tiny baby things I can go on and on with shopping for pinks and frills. He didnt believe that was my reasoning until recently. When I was just in the mood to shop and was ooing and awing over every little girl thing in site... he then realized I was telling the truth. I cant have my girl not being the most adorable sassy thing in town! Duh! Well thats the news. Christmas was great and spent with my family. We probably will do something quiet for New Years, most likely dinner and a movie... since it will be the last really quiet New Years for well probably forever! Well hope everyones holiday was stupendous and there 2011 is even better, healthier, successful, and full of wealth and love!

Christmas Time is Here...

Okay so that is not my favorite song but I like that line!
Well its here and I can't believe it... where did the rest of the year go?? We have been in Texas for a year now and had many changes since then. We now are living back in an apartment. I am loving the less is more lifestyle. Less money on rent and bills, less cleaning( big plus). We do miss having a back yard but that's about it!
James is now working nights at Walmart and he likes it way more than TWU. If he could trade the hours of his old job though he would. I am still with Sally Beauty at the corporate building but I work on the company's Beauty Systems Group side which is stores around the country, Canada, and PR that are specifically for professional cosmetologist. Its fun and enjoy my co-workers, they are a fun bunch.
That is really all the news we have pretty much same ole same ole. On the down side I don't think we will be receiving quite(if at all) the white Christmas (weeks) we had last year. But we will enjoying our last Christmas just us two... next year we will have a 7 month old at Christmas!! How fun does that sound!
We are due May 21st, 2011. I really want to have the baby on the 17th because it will be halfway between mine and James birthday. So we would have a 7th, 17th, and 27th.. how cool would that be! Well that is about it. We are hopefully going to find out what "it" is this Friday...if the baby cooperates! Keep you posted.
PS. Is it super sad that we are almost into 2011 and I only have blogged on here 3...count that 1, 2, 3... times the WHOLE year! I am ashamed. Hopefully I can do SUPER better because I hoping to make this our journal somewhat and eventually print it off... but it would pretty pointless if I just post 3 times a year! Thats my rant. :)
