Anniversary/Baby

I'm going to play catch up since it's been some time since I've posted anything.  I will start with Mother's Day/Anniversary since they were on the same day.  On Saturday morning My mom, sister, both sister-in-laws and I went to breakfast at Mimi's Cafe which was a lot of fun (we need to do it more often).

After breakfast we went shopping at the mall and I got a couple of cute shirts to wear while I am in "transition" from being not pregnant to being pregnant.  (not a fun stage BTW).  Later that night Declan and I went to the Cheesecake Factory for our 6th Anniversary.  I love that place!  We didn't do much other than dinner for our Anniversary cause we are trying to save our $$ for the baby.
On Sunday it was pretty relaxing.  This is what Bowzer gave to me for Mother's Day:

Bower gave me a hug...so cute!

We had dinner that night at my Parent's with the whole fam and my big bro made some delicious BBQ chicken.  Over all it was a super fun weekend.

Now on to the baby room...
I got this idea off of Pinterest (I love that place) and I can't wait till it's finished.  This is what we did this weekend so far:

This is what I saw on Pinterest:

The room will look similar to this picture minus the crib and dresser and pictures and the color on top...I haven't decided what color to paint since I don't know the gender of the baby yet... But I am excited for the finished product!  I will post more pictures of the baby room as we get more done.

Surprise!

I have some very exciting news...

I'm pregnant!!  I was at work a couple of weeks ago and was telling the girls some problems that I was having and they were convinced that I was pregnant.  I was a little skeptical but they went and got a pregnancy test for me and I did the test and it was POSITIVE!  I was a little in shock so I hurried and told Declan.  He was super excited.  I took a couple more pregnancy tests a few days later just to make sure and sure enough they were positive too.  I wasn't sure how far along I was so I scheduled my Dr.'s appointment and when I went to that appointment they said that I was 7 weeks 6 days.  I was a little disappointed to find out that the Dr. I went to doesn't deliver at the Riverton Hospital so I had to find a new Dr.  My sis-in-law delivered at Riverton so I scheduled my 12 weeks appointment with her Dr.  I ended up telling my parents the good news after my 8 week appointment and they were both excited.  Our family has been very supportive and excited.  My sister and sis-in-law went and got me a cute blanket to say congrats.  They are so cute!  I have been feeling pretty good so far but my allergies have been horrible and if I wait to long in between eating I feel sick.  I've gained more weight already then I prefer.  I know the weight gain is inevitable but I'm trying to slow the gain down as much as possible.  I will post updates of the pregnancy as I get bigger.

Here is a picture of the little peanut:

Disneyland

Declan and I and his family went to Disneyland this last week and we had so much fun.  I wish the weather was a little better but we still enjoyed every minute.  We drove to California on Wednesday and listen to the Hunger Games book which made the time go by so fast.  We spent Thursday, Friday and Saturday at Disneyland and drove home on Sunday listening to the 2nd book of the Hunger Games.  Thursday was the warmest day and the least busiest.  We get Declan's brother Sean a Special Needs pass which means that all six of us get to go to the front of the line on every ride so we never have to wait.  Sean loves the rides and gets super excited so he makes it fun for us.  Friday was semi warm during the day but got pretty cool when the sun started to set and Saturday was rainy on and off during the day and pretty cold.  Later that night we saw the World or Color show in California Adventure which would have been awesome if it wasn't a down pour rain.  We finished the show and then planned on hurrying back to the hotel to dry off but everyone else had the same idea so it was slow moving to the exit and during the process we accidently got split up so three of us tried to stay out of the rain while trying to find the other three of our group and after about a half hour we were able to find them and hurry to the shuttle to get back to the hotel.  We left on Sunday about 2pm and ended up driving through snow shortly after St. George until we got home.  We didn't end up getting home until 1:30am on Monday morning and had to go get the dogs from my parent's.  We both had to get up early for work on Monday so we only ended up getting a few hours of sleep which made for a long work day.  Over all the trip was fun and I can't wait to go back again.  Here are some photos from the trip:

Update

My mom told me on Sunday that I was boring cause I haven't updated my blog in a while so I figured I would post an update of what's been happening. 
I will start with Valentines Day.  We didn't do much this year cause it's so close to Christmas and Declan's birthday.  I made Declan a little gift...

And he did something different then flowers...

Valentine's night I just made dinner and then we just hung out and watched TV.  It was pretty low key but we both enjoyed it. 
Now on to my personal training certification... I am still working on that.  I past half of my test so now I have to retake the other half that I didn't pass.  I've had a bad test failing streak but I finally broke that streak when I past my insurance test last week (I've already taken it a few times).  I now have my insurance license and I am super excited about it.  Now I just need to make sure and pass the other half of my personal training test so I can do my internship and get certified.
In two weeks Declan and I will be going to Disneyland with his family.  We originally planned to go to Disneyland during Thanksgiving last year but it didn't work out so we will be going at the end of the month.  We are very excited for our much needed vacation.  Other then the stuff I already posted not a whole lot has happened.  I will post about our Disneyland trip next month.

Temple Square

I haven't posted in a while so I figured that I should update the blog.  Here's an update on my personal training cert class:  I have finished the classes and have taken the test and will find out in a couple of weeks if I pass or not.  Once I pass I have to get CPR certified and then to a 40 hour internship so I have to find out which gyms I can do the internship with.  So right now I am just waiting to find out if I passed or not...

On a different note, this past weekend Declan and I did our annual tradition of going to Temple Square around Christmas to see the lights.  The last couple of years we have gone with LJ and Nemiha and it has been tons of fun.  I'm my niece's favorite (he he) so it was fun to walk around Temple Square with her and see her get excited over the lights and seeing Santa and Buddy the Elf.  Before LJ and Nem showed up Declan and I walked around the Gateway Mall and took a few pictures so here are a few pictures:

This picture and the next two are at Gateway



This weekend we are going to try to go to Zoolights with Declan's family so if we end up going I will post those pictures later.

Halloween

I  know this is a few weeks late but for Halloween Crystal and I dressed up for work and since 2 of the 4 girls at my work are pregnant Crystal and I decided that we were going to be pregnant so that all 4 of us were pregnant for Halloween.  It was a lot of fun especially when clients came in and thought that all 4 of us were pregnant and Darron, my boss, sure had fun calling us all "preggers".  Here is a photo of us all pregnant:

Left to right:  Hayley (really REALLY pregnant), Emily (really pregnant), Crystal (fake pregnant) and me (obviously fake pregnant)

Hayley ended up having her baby a few days after this picture was taken.  The girls at my work are AWESOME but I am sad that two weeks before Hayley had her baby one of the other girls had her baby so things won't be the same with those two girls gone.

Hypothyroidism

I went to the Dr's a couple of weeks ago to make sure that I was healthy and that everything was ok and while I was there they drew my blood to test it (this was the first time I have had my blood drawn since I was 11 so I was a little nervous).  I got my results back today and I have Hypothyroidism (If you don't know what it is Google it).  I'm hoping it's not too severe and that it can be treated with medicine because if it's too severe it can cause serious problems such as infertility.  I will be on a prescription for a month and then I will get my blood drawn again to see if has helped bring my Throid levels down to normal.  Hopefully the medicine will help.
