Epic fail turns to epic moment...

So yesterday morning I got up and it was CD30 for me. Longer than any cycle before. So I took a cheapie test and I swore I saw a line. But it was so faint and only if I held it the right way in the right light. So I tried taking a picture and failed at that as well. So after succeeding at only making myself late I gave up and put it to the back of my head. Bought a digital test last night. Called DO OVER before bed and started over this morning. My temp was alittle lower than it had been, but I trudged forward and tested anyway. And it came up YES!! I can't believe it. I still don't want to believe my eyes. I haven't told Jimmy yet. I'm waiting till tomorrow night so that James isn't around as I think we should wait a little to tell him and I want to tell him alone. Tonight I have dinner with my sister, Mom and Pop...so tomorrow night it is. It's killing me not telling him and my sister I was talking to and the one I'll see tonight and on and on. I can't believe that I put it on a message board and my blog before anyone else. But it's still so not real!

I have my shirt in the closet that says Knocked Up. So I'll put it on before Jimmy gets home tomorrow and see how long it takes him to realize what it says! I can't wait for him to know!!

House work...

Jimmy and I put in laminate floors this weekend. We are doing all the carpet in the house (all three bedrooms and formal living room as well as hallways) but we started with our bedroom. Mostly because we had just switched James bedroom and set it all up and Jimmy was not psyched about moving all his furniture again. There is a rather large desk in the office that we wanted to avoid for at least a little bit. So here are some pics. The one is the carpet then some of the completed floor. He does such good work :)

Locks of Love

So I cut my hair off and donated it to Locks of Love. I'm so excited that my hair is going to become a wig for some kid. I just love that :) It's a tad shorter than I would have cared for, but it will grow and get to that length and be great. Tonight Jimmy and I are getting a couples massage. I'm so excited. Then tomorrow we start laying our laminate wood floors. Getting rid of all the carpet in the house is going to be awesome. And so much easier to clean. Bonus.


Here's my new cut...the pose is so my sisters could see the watch Jimmy got me...

Vegas....

was PERFECT. Everything I had hoped for and more. After being a brat and Jimmy convincing me that we should get up at 3 a.m. when the alarm went off and head out...the Grand Canyon was amazing. We were there so early it was Jimmy, me, God and the Canyon and I was awe struck.

We did all kinds of walking around the strip. Hit almost all the hotels. Usually just walking through and checking them out. But a couple we explored more.

We saw a wonderful Cirque De Soliel show "O" and it was so incredible. There was so much going on and we could not see it all. I had to pee and there was no intermission. 2 hours and no break. I thought I might die :)

On our last day we stopped at Harrah's and gambled. I started out with $40 and Jimmy watching me play Blackjack. After about a 1/2 hour I convinced him to play too. We enjoyed about 2 more hours and walked away with a $200 profit!! And had so much fun.

Oh well...

woke up to a major temp drop and spotting. So AF is heading my way. Now I just have to cross my fingers that we have the right timing for Vegas...that would be PERFECT :)

Lovely...

weekend...and I woke to cross hairs this morning and good timing :) My aunt, cousin and sister were in town this weekend. So we all went out for drinks. It was very nice. Also had a BBQ at my parent's house. Jimmy surprised me with a new outfit for our night out. I am truly blessed by that man. I don't know how I got so lucky...but I thank God every day I did. It was so great seeing everyone this weekend and playing with them and just enjoying being together. Below is the whole group, Jimmy and I...cheers, and me and two of my sisters. Love them all!!

It's the weekend...

and I am ready to have some fun!! I am finally feeling sort of normal. My pain is minimal and I can move around without wincing and worrying about my every move. My big sis is coming up for the weekend so we are heading out for drinks at this new club on Saturday night. DJ and live bands on different levels. Sounds like fun. Can't wait :) And Jimmy and I decided that we were both going to drink if we wanted and would call a cab if we have to. The twins are watching James at my Ps house...so we are foot loose and fancy free. Watch out world!! Sunday Mom's have a BBQ so my sis can see Pop and everyone some more. Busy weekends always fly by...but I think this one's going to be a good one...

So...

no O yet...but we're stilling chugging right along!! Halloween was fun...James had a blast. The grandparents loved seeing him all dressed up. Too cute...he's getting so big!!
