Ticket # 2

Seriously? I think Motorcycles Cops are following me around. This is now my 2nd speeding ticket since April. My friend Bethany got to experience this pull over experience with me. We were driving North on Extension and I was trying to hurry so I could get to my parents house, eat really fast, and run back to school. These days eating has become a priority. BUT NO! Mr. Motorcycle Cop hiding behind the bushes in a LDS church parking lot jumped out and pulled me over. That sneaky little devil. I was furious. I cant go to traffic school because need I remind you I just did that in April. It gets better, My sweet husband, who claims he put the new insurance card in my car, did not. Its okay. We are insured. I just have to send in proof. Why no warning Mr. Motorcycle Cop? He had no problem writing up that ticket for me. I think I even caught him smiling about it. He must be behind on his quota for the month and OF COURSE he pulls me over.I have the worst luck.Ed( my traffic school teacher) would be so disappointed.

ANXIETY!!!

So I was laying on the couch last night, and all of a sudden it hit me, Like a ton of bricks. Im going to have a baby.Im going to have to care for my very own human being. WHAT THE? I have realized this before. This is not new news to me. I got so nervous and scared and started to almost have a panic attack. I began thinking about how my life will be in 6 months. I will be in labor and then I will go through delivery(well if my hips move the way they are supposed to and my baby doesnt have a big Vance head, I truly hope it doesnt have a big Vance head) and then I will be a mom, to an actual human being. Thats when the sweating started, I have no idea what Im doing. Babies scare me. Give me a toddler, I know what Im doing there. As I started to panic even more, this thought came to mind... I have a mom, a mother in law, a grandma, aunts, sister in laws, cousins, and friends,who have all had babies and all of those children have all their limbs, they are not neglected, they are all being fed, and they are still living. This gave me such comfort. They will never leave me in the dark. They will help me learn what Im supposed to do. My mom mentioned to me the other day when she asked how I was doing, that the first time is always the scariest. Its the fear of the unknown. I have no idea how my body is going to react, I have no idea how easy or hard my labor and delivery will be( I am so counting on the labor part to be some what easy due to the beautiful epideral). So, I just wanted to say, I Whitney, have absolutely no idea what I am doing and thats okay. I will learn. I have great people in my life who WILL help me, not matter what. I Also wanted to say, Thank you to those people. I know I will tell you "then" but I just thought I would say it now too.

Get in my Belly!!!

I didnt eat very good today. I dont mean bad food, I mean like didnt eat enough. As I was sitting in my Night Lecture Building Systems class( I know, please feel bad for me) I was paying for it a little. Not like "kill me now" Nausea, but discomfort. All I could think about was how much I really wanted KFC warm mashed potatoes and their to die for Biscuits, all warm and soft. I had to make a quick run to Kinko's to get some things ready for a project I have to turn in to tomorrow and on my way home, I glanced to my right and their shining in all its glory, KFC. Thank you. Thank you. It was dark, but to my delight the drive thru was open until 11( it was 10:15). I ordered my individual order of mashed potatoes and for only 99 cents you can ge 2 warm biscuits. Hooray! So I did it. I got home and the mashed potatoes were heavenly. The biscuits on the other hand STUNK! What? Soft and warm, I think NOT! I was offended that KFC would torment me with would you like our soft, warm biscuits for 99 cents and then give me rock hard, stale biscuits instead. I should have flashed them my belly and said " dont you dare mess with a starving, pregnant ladies food, buster." Did I mention the mashed potatoes were heavenly?

The Perfect Day!

Its 72 degrees in my house naturally. I am so thankful for the beautiful weather we had today and yesterday. Ive opened up the windows and doors and just let the cool air run through my house. I love when I can turn off my A/C because that means cheaper utility bills and fall clothing!! WOOHOO! I hope it sticks around!

Halloween Decor!

Yesterday I Halloween Decored my house a little. I stole some ideas from some wonderful and creative people. I love how the turned out!!! And it was Cheap! Which is always a plus. This first picture, My friend Erin came up with the idea. She had white pumpkins and did black lettering. I just printed the word BOO out on word and made me own stencil. I found some paper mache pumpkins at micheals for a buck so I spray painted them black and did white writing because I had white candle sticks. I took a trip to the dollar store where I found some Christmas Holly and I spray painted those black as well. I let some of the red stay because I really liked it that way. A little Boa on the mantel and it looks awesome. I also found those headstones at the dollar store. I should have taken a before and after picture. I touched them up with white paint to really make them stand out. Since we have been married I have always wanted to spider web our gate. I just never got around to it. So this was my year to do it! I really like it. Our gate isnt working right now but when it is it will look so good closed. At Michaels I found 2 wood wreaths and usually people decorate them and make them pretty but I decided to keep them all wood. I spray painted them black and draped spider web to add that extra spook. I hung them from our light post that are outside by the gate. Im super excited for the holiday season. Im not done decorating yet! More to come Im sure.

Let me share...

I thought as I sat here and cried about what is going on in with my baby you should all know too. As much as I complain about being sick, I am so excited to become a mommy to this precious baby growing inside me. At times I think it hates my guts and to be honest sometimes I dont like it that much either. But I know that this Heavenly Fathers plan and I am so lucky to be able to participate in it.

Your baby is growing rapidly; its growth is particularly noticeable from now through about 24 weeks. The baby has doubled in length since the 7th week, measuring at 2½ to 3 inches long (6.5-7.8cm) and weighing at about ½ and ¾ oz (13-20g) roughly the size of a peach. Changes in the fetal weight have also been tremendous during the last 8-10 weeks of pregnancy. One interesting change is the slowdown in growth of baby's head compared to the rest of the body. By week 21 the head is about one third of the baby's body and at birth baby's head is only ¼ the size of its body. Baby's body accelerates in growth as the fetal head slows down in growth. Baby's face is more human like now; eyes that started out at the sides are now closer together on the face. External genitalia have developed enough so a male can be distinguished from a female baby. Your baby's vocal cords have begun to form. Your baby's hand is structurally complete and consists of 27 bones held together by a complex network of ligaments. Similarly baby's foot is also completely formed with the toes, heel and bones all in place.

Ween No more

Im not weening off my drugs. I stopped taking My Phenergan and apparently I still need to be on it. For the last two days it was back to the "bad place".I have been gripping the toilet. Today I have been able to look at some other scenery due to a new prescription of Phenergan. Ive decided I am going to wait atleast 2 more weeks before I even think about weening.
