its been awhile

Wow its been a long time since I've been on here... a lot has changed. Single mom now, just me, Max and Bella and its better this way. New job about a month ago. Happy to not hate my job anymore. Seem to work with a great bunch of ladies. I've gone back to school full time which was kind of hard to do when I was married without the support to do it. I'm surprised I haven't run out of steam yet but I'm doing this for B, shes worth it.

I started this blog back up (again) because I feel like I'm getting the other areas of my life together that there is one more area that needs to be cleaned up.... ME. When I first started dating Rigo in 2006 I was a size 5. Well lets just say marriage makes you fat. I am no longer a 5, far from it. Bella and I joined the Y this weekend because I want her to make some friends and I need to get in shape. This new job came with a pay raise and with my tax return I paid off my car so I have a little more money to throw around which is a good reason to start eating healthy. Guess I just want to hold myself accountable... (we'll see how long this lasts!) Don't know how much working out I can squeeze in til summer when I go back to online classes but I'm going to try my hardest. I had some success with weight watchers in the past so I am going to give it a go again. This "officially" starts Tuesday (payday).... wish me luck!!


On a "happier" note, can't BELIEVE I am someone's MOM now... ME!! I am responsible for this little person... this was my day earlier

(Bella throwing dog food, again, feeding Max like he was a duck at the park)

Me: Bella no!! How many times do I have to say NO?!
Bella: (pauses to think) Ummm, FOUR!

lol Well I DID ask...

Now the hard part

So much for maternal instinct. I thought it was a boy and yeah, I was wrong. (I know you must be shocked since I am seldom wrong) :P

Anyways now we have the impossible task of NAMING this person! We cannot agree on ANYTHING except Isabella. I like the name but not so much after I read its one of the most popular names this year. Rigo doesn't care but I don't want her to go to school with 800 girls with the same name.

I also like Audrina. Its not too popular. Its not even in our baby name book. Saw it on tv.

I really love Emma BUT someone does not agree.(Who does he think he is?!?)

Moving on....since my shower is a mere 3-4 months aware I felt the need to start registering yesterday :) (Hey didn't you hear? THREE MONTHS?! As you can see I don't have much time!) I went to Marshmallowkisses.com and registered. Its the cutest little store with a lot of crazy expensive crap that your baby doesn't need at all! Is that the greatest?! Lol. I tried to get a few cheap things (very hard there) and keep it short. We plan to register at babies r us for the things we NEED like bottles/diapers etc.

We'll I better get ready because I think were going to the Renaissance Fair today.

Guess what?!?

New Baby Comments

Free

We went to Motherhood this weekend so I could get some pants. The woman gave us a free gift bag with our purchase. I forgot about it and opened it the next day. I told Rigo about it in the car today.....

ME: Oh, you know that gift bag we got at Motherhood?
RIGO: Oh yeah, what was in that thing?
ME: They gave us some baby lotion and a bottle!
RIGO: A bottle of what??
ME: Um a bottle!
RIGO: A bottle of what??!?!
ME: A BABY bottle!
RIGO: Oh!

*sigh*

TOMORROW!!!!

I am waaaaaaaaaaaay excited!! I have a sonogram tomorrow! I forgot when I went in to do the first trimester birth defect screening two months ago they had scheduled me for an appt for a sonogram. For diagnostics and also to determine the sex. They called me today to remind me of the appointment. So my appt is at 8:15am tomorrow!!!! They said they should be able to determine the sex by now. I am hoping to God that the kid isn't hunched in a corner with its legs crossed refusing to come out. They told me to have a sugary snack about an hour before so the baby will be moving around a lot during the sonogram. I am also suppose to drink about 3 truck loads of water before the sonogram so I think I will drink equal parts of sugar and water just to make sure we've got some movement :)

Newness

So THAT COMPANY called me AFTER I accepted a new position at a doctor's office. Oh well. At the doctor's office I'll be making $2 more an hour so thats not bad. I really like it. Its so hectic and busy that the day flies by. Plus they have good benefits.

I am happy to report that after only two visits to the chiropractor I can already notice a change. (thank you medical science, screw your physical therapy) I am sad to report that my insurance DOESN'T cover the visits so I've got to pay out of pocket :(

Man its nearly 11pm and I'm exhausted. For some crazy ass reason I actually stayed up to watch the basketball game. I'm not a sports person but the game was actually semi interesting. Cool that we won. Well its late...........
