I love the Chiropractor

I went to the Chiropractor today. Since my dad is too far away I am forced to find one local and pay for care but the good news is...I DON'T CARE! I feel great and I am so happy I found her. I love the Chiropractor! I just wanted to shout it to the world! If you don't have one you should find yourself one because they make you feel like a million bucks! I am so happy right now. Have a great day everyone.

*4 days till we know the sex*

My Pants Don't Fit! Am I Fat?

Ok so today at 17 weeks preggo I could not get my top button of my dress pants buttoned! This is a moment I wanted to share because one would think thats because you are 17 weeks preggo and starting to get bigger. Right?!? My problem is everyday I go to work and get reminded that I don't look pregnant AT ALL, EVERYDAY! So why don't my clothes fit if I don't look the slightest bit preggo why are my pants tight? Then it dawned on me is everyone saying I don't look preggo because maybe I just look fat? And everyone is too nice to tell me? Thoughts? I know I shouldn't complain because I eventually will get bigger and be complaining about being too big so I thought this blog would be a nice reminder. But I am still annoyed that my pants don't fit and I don't look preggo......GRRRR!!

*RULE- If your pants don't fit you should look pregnant if you are in fact pregnant*

On a bright side 1 week till we know the sex! Have you voted?

Montecito Tea Fire

We have been getting lots of phone calls and e mails about the Montecito fires. Just wanted to let everyone know although we were close to evacutation we didn't need to thanks to the winds slowing down. A lot of families have lost their homes and have been coming into my work with tears just needing clothes to wear. It is truely heart breaking. Please pray for all the families who have lost their homes in the Tea Fire they need it right now. It is so sad to see these children in tears because they have lost almost everything they have ever know to be home and have no place to live. Our prayers our with the families tonight.

In Rare Form!

So today I had my first full blown and I mean FULL BLOWN pregnancy moment. As I was getting ready to leave for work today I went and turned off our space heater. (they don't believe in real heat on the beaches of Santa Barbara I guess). Well as I did that I looked at my sweet little puppy on the couch and the worst feeling came over me and then well this is what happened next....

I started to cry because I thought truely thought that our space heater was going to explode and that our house would catch on fire and Chino would have no way out and would die. So what did I do? I called Lance explained it to him and he said "I don't know how he would get out"! Which put me into even more of a panic. I then told him I wasn't leaving the house until we figured this out. He then realized he needed to get me out of this irrational state and told me the house was not going to blow up and that Chino would be fine I then said "I think you should come home and take Chino to work with you".(Are you laughing yet).

Long story short Lance talked me off my ledge I went to work and my house and dog are fine. Don't worry I am sure there will be many, many more of these stories to come. The joys of pregnancy!

Boy or Girl?

So I think its a girl and Lance thinks its a boy! What do you think? We are taking votes now. Results will be announced November 24th! Just vote on our poll off to the side of this post!

Hi ho hi ho Back to Work I Go...

Well I am officially back at work. Which means no more hospital visits for this girl (I hope) and I could not be happier! It was a rough start, but I am still on my medication and feeling better everyday and trying to take it easy so I don't over do it. Its nice to be back in the human world and not glued to my bed everyday. The only problem now is trying to resist all the baby clothes that I want to buy at work. Only 2 weeks and we find out if it's a boy or girl.... We are taking bets now...ha ha!

Only in California/What a blessing!

I don't know if many of you heard but a crazy masked gunman waving an American flag shut down the 101 today. Apparently he wanted to make a statement about the Iraq war. He caused the freeway to be shut down for over 3 hours! What is the blessing is all of this you ask? Well if I wasn't on medical leave I would have been one of those stuck on the 101 for 3 hours!! They shut down the freeway right around the time I am off to work. Could you imagine? Pregnant and stuck on the freeway for over 3 hours not fun!! I guess there is one thing to be greatful for during my rest. Just thought I would see the silver lining in the cloud.
