Foreshadowing?

This picture was taken a few days before Olivia got sick. I thought it was funny that she looked like she was about to ralph in the bucket. In real life, it wasn't so funny.

However, it is funny now, looking back remembering this healthy time.

Olivia's first stomach flu (probably in too much detail)

So on Friday Olivia started her first case of a stomach bug. She woke up smelling.. well pukey. But she hadn't woken up in the middle of the night, and she seemed fine other wise, so I thought maybe it was just my sensitive nose. Well, she drank a huuuge thing of milk and ate some of her eggs... and less than hour later... yup. We got to see it all again. And then the fever kicked in, and so we spent our weekend on the couch.

I'll be honest, it wasn't so bad. I kept imagining if there was another little one to take care of, and that would have been a struggle. But for the first time since Olivia could move, she wanted to just snuggle with me. She's always wanting to be on the go, so for the first 24 hours I enjoyed just cuddling her on the couch, while she dozed in and out of sleep. And on Saturday she actually kept down liquids, still cuddled and slept. Sunday we stayed home, she was better, no fever, but craankky! The fun stage is def over.

Today she was still cranky, and actually threw up again??! She hadn't thrown up since Saturday afternoon. So I'm thinking her tummy is still a little sensitive and I wasn't feeding her the right stuff. So hopefully tomorrow she wakes up good as new.

People have asked me if I thought it was the swine flu. Honestly? Probably not. But even if it was, oh well she survived it, right? I didn't seen any reason to go to the Dr. for a virus unless things got really bad.

Just can't wait for her to not be contagious anymore so we can go out and play. We have been just us for too long. So let's pray that I don't get it. Mommys get an immunity to these things right?

Free stuff

So just wanted to blog all the free stuff I got in April! All thanks to the internet!!

Okay first of all I signed up for almost every resturants newsletter thingy that I knew of that would give you free stuff if you did. By far the best deal is Fridays. When you sign up you get a free dessert or appitizer. Then they also email you lots of deals, like buy one get one free, or penny appitizers, etc. We have had eaten for free, at then fed all three of us for $10 including tip.

I also signed up for Dairy Queen's newsletter thing and got a free blizzard!

Also, a friend of mine blogged about a free eyebrow waxing. So of course I went and did that, and I have to look up this lady's info to blog it because she was awesome and her prices were great.

Then I found this blog, moneysavingmom.com It is full of how to use coupons to get the best deals, etc. With that I got 2 things of EZ Mac for free! She is always listing coupons to use and sales to get stuff for free, but I haven't done anything else yet.

We also got free lunch at El Pollo Loco with some promotion they were doing

Then today I got a free pasta bread bowl from Domino's. I got there right at 11, so I didn't even have to wait! In fact, they are doing this promotion today from 11-2 so if you happen to read this, go try it! It was actually pretty yummy, and when its free it always tastes better.

Also from doing a survey for Mimi's we got a free appetizer.

And I think that's all. I am dedicating myself to find the most free stuff possible, its so fun! lol

Oh, and I just have to add... we went garage saling on Saturday and the lady was doing a bag sale, and anything you could fit in the plastic shopping bag you could have for $1. So I filled that bag with clothes, toys, books, etc and later we priced it out... yeah spent about at 3 cents per item!! Had to include that, because that's practically free.

Dr. Apt update

So yesterday, at 13 weeks 5 days, I finally got to see the dr. Got to hear the heart beat! It was about 150. Which is way lower than Olivia's ever was... sign it's a boy? Well we will find out at our next visit!! That's one great thing about waiting to go in to see the dr. My appointment is in 5 weeks, on May 27th.

Other than that, nothing new. Feel like I'm already huge, but I guess that's normal. Hopefully you just bigger faster not just bigger and bigger. I can't imagine being BIGGER than I was at the end. Well, now it's all starting to sink in, sort of.

Our fun day, and some randomness

Yeah she's drinking a sonic slush.... lol.

So since I've lasted posted we've been pretty busy. I got my haircut :) I looove it. Although it's a haircut that I have to actually "do" every day, it's pretty minimal.

We like to play at the library. Notice Olivia's necklace. She insisted on it. Cracks me up.

Today Olivia and I went to a little park in Gilbert where they have fountains and water and stuff. We played and splashed and had a lot of fun.

Then we went to Old Navy and Olivia got this super cute outfit (thanks Granny!).

Okay and I can't believe I'm posting this because it's seriously how big I was when I was like 22 weeks with Olivia, but here's a 13 week baby belly. (I'm sure it's allllll baby, lol.)

Some pictures that are long over due

Okay so I thought our camera was broken, turns out it just needed batteries. So someday I will get the pictures from Olivia's birthday (which was over a month ago now!) and Mexico, and all that stuff. But here are some from today when we went to an Easter egg hunt and some from forever ago when I decided to take some self portraits of me and O.

In case you needed more proof...

Here he/she is! Aren't 3D ultrasounds amazing??? The tech just added a few 3D ones for us, we didn't even ask. So that was a fun surprise.

Anyway, I am about 11 weeks pregnant, and due Oct. 26th (at least according to this ultrasound). This is really all kind of crazy to to think that it's actually for real. But trust me Someone def wanted this baby to be here NOW. I've been feeling great. Tired. That's about it. My Dr. didn't want to see me until 10-12 weeks... so I don't see him until the 15th. But I got my ultrasound earlier because I was going CRAZY waiting for this to all seem real. For some reason seeing it swim around in there, and see that little heart all a flutter makes it finally sink it.
