A really bad day and a really nice surprise

I woke up this morning already for my doctors appointment. For the very first time I had written my questions and concerns down so that I could talk about it with my doctor. I only have five weeks left until the baby id due and I wanted to be prepared. I got to the doctors office and I suddenly was super sick and hurting. I was really nauseated too for some reason. They had no saltines or anything and so I sat there hoping to see the doctor any minute, but an hour later I was finally taken back to see him. Once the doctor came in my heart sank a little because it was my doctors brother. I have seen him one other time, but I am kind of like seeing my doctors. I am funny like that, but I thought I would ask him my questions anyways because there is a possibility that he will deliever my baby too. So he saw I had been crying a little and asked why and I told him about the pain I had been having. He was oh ok and proceeded to listen to the babies heart beat. We listened for about 15 seconds and he was like ok you are 34 weeks along, you had a ten lb baby before, ok we'll see you in two weeks. I was like, "Don't you mean next week." I am 35 weeks. Then as I was trying to talk to him he is heading out the door. He didn't even ask if I had any questions or anything. I had to quickly ask him everything I wanted to ask and he blew off my questions. All I wanted was 10-15 to talk about my concerns hey I had already waited an hour for him. Let's just say that people need to remember who is working for who. I say that because pregnant women are sensitive people and have every right to be concerned with what is happening to their bodies. I won't go into detail about my body on my blog, but if you want to ask me you can. I am really concerned with harming myself or the baby if she is big again. I went to my doctors office because there were two doctors in the office. It would limit the amount of strangers or surprises when it came to my delivery. I thought that by having two doctors they would be able to know me and my case. I may have been asking too much. I just didn't want to have my same experience that I had with my first baby. Anyways I am looking into switching my doctor. It is really late in the game, but I am not sure what to do. I have two doctors in mind right now. I need to first go down to my doctor and talk with them and get some paper work. I do not like making people feel bad so I am a little nervous, but at the same time they need to know that I am serious about protecting myself and my concerns are real not some pregnant imagination or something. Ok now that I got all that drama out I can share the amazing beautiful part. I called my mom after my incident crying. OK I was not just crying I was sobbing, yes I am very pregnant. I think she may have thought someone died or something. Any way my beautiful mother knowing I needed a hug sent me the most beautiful surprise. I got a bouquet of my favorite flowers, carnations. They are pink which made me think of my future baby girl. I just need to get this baby girl here healthy. I just wanted to say I have an awesome mom and family. I love them so much and I can't wait to see them in a few months. I really felt their love for me when I saw the flowers were from them. I know they are across the country, but the flowers made me feel like they had jsut come by to visit me. Thank you! I really needed that more then anything.

Aren't these beautiful!

Now I really do feel better. This blog is like therapy no wonder the church advices us to keep a journal. Once all emotions are out somewhere a load is seriously unloaded. Yeah the flowers and the note really helped too. =0)

Check out Scentsy

So yesterday I signed up to do a home business called Scentsy. I am excited because it is something that people like and it is not over priced. I don't think I could stand selling something that I would not buy myself due to the cost. I also really like the variety of scents and the quality. I also like that the candles are heated and don't burn if I or my son sticks his finger in the wax. I am looking forward to getting my kit and doing a party before my baby comes. The other thing that I has impressed me about this company is that yeah it's another home party business, but it doesn't last hours like some others and I can earn a little bit of money. I love staying at home with my son, but I have always worked my whole life. It is hard not earning money and doing something like that. It is a personal struggle. I really think this will give me the satisfaction that I am looking for. I know I am not going to be a millionaire or a hundredaire either, but I am excited for the opportunity to do something I like and still be at home where I need to be. I know that being at home with James and with the future Elizabeth will be the greatest thing I do in this life. If you are interested in finding out more about Scentsy email me or check out my website.

BYU Cougars 14 -Oklahoma Sooners13

BYU just beat Oklahoma. It was a way good game to watch. It is always nice to see the under dog come out on top. Go Cougars! Oh yeah BYU is 20 in the nation and Oklahoma "Sooners" were number 3. I am proud of them.

Update on our drama and other fun stuff

I am pretty stressed about Adam's tuition. I know things will work out, but I sure wish they would work faster. I hate feeling like I failed. We tried so hard to get out of debt and save up our money just to be put back into the situation that we were in when we were in school before. We are once again in the red. I was just hoping to start grad school with more money then when we did for our undergrad. We would have been okay, but we had to pay out of state tuition. We are only two months shy of living here for a year. It is just so frustrating. I am the one who deals with the money and I keep thinking where could we have cut back, but really we did great up until this point. We saved and got out of debt with in like eight months. I was very proud and excited for us. I thank Adam's parents for letting us live with them. It really helped us get out of debt for the whole week that we were. Sigh...I am just upset about this whole thing. It will work out. We are still waiting to hear back from FAFSA to see if we can get a loan. I know loans are good for school, but I expected to get one later on when we really needed it. Sigh...Well at least Adam loves his classes and enjoys reading his textbooks. I think he will get really good grades this semester and maybe qualify for one of the apprenticeships his department offers. They give you free tuition if you get one of them. I am go for it Adam. I want him to do his best and learn as much as he can. It will be easier for him once he can really focus on his classes and is not commuting from Norcross to Athens. It is like a two hour trip due to traffic. We will get there. Otherwise things are great. I have seven weeks before the baby is due. James is so much fun and full..I mean full of energy. I love him. He keeps me on my toes and makes me laugh all the time. He now loves Hannah Montana (thanks to his Aunts and Grandmom) and balloons. Oh I can't forget his greatest passion BALLS! He can't get enough Balls. I think he could open up a store with all the balls he owns. His favorite Sunday afternoon thing to do is throw the ball with his Grandpop and Greg. He thinks that is awesome.

No time for rest

This pregnancy is so much harder on my body than the last one was. I am so tired all the time. All I want to do is sleep. I feel so bad because I have this little boy who wants to play and is so cute. I want to teach him things and take him places like my dad did with me. In reality all I want to do is close my eyes. I don't sleep to well at night which is making things worse. I was going to talk about this with my doctor today, but when I got to my appointment he was not in the office. My doctors office is like 20-30 minutes away from my house depending on traffic. I was a little upset no one let me know. They asked if I could come back this afternoon, but I am not driving out there twice in one day. I rescheduled for next week. I guess one more week of not sleeping won't kill me, right? Any suggestions on how to not feel inadequate when I am so large and sleepy?

Yippie we got tickets

Yesterday we bought tickets to fly home for Thanksgiving!!! Well I guess my parents home. I am so excited to see my parents and siblings. I haven't seen them since Spring Break. I guess that was not that long ago, but it sure seems longer. I am looking forward to just hanging out with them and showing off my new baby and of course my almost two year old. I love it when I show James a picture of my dad he says, "Grandpa!" He knows who he is. He loves reading my my mom's blog and looking at all the pictures of my siblings. He laughs at their videos. I think it is cool how there is a family connection even though we are so far away.

Super Baby

Adam and I got home from our temple trip to Birmingham, AL and found James in the cutest outfit ever. Adam's family went to Six Flags on Friday and Grandmom bought him a Superman outfit. James looked awesome in it. It was so cute he wore it to our friend's party. I thought my little brother Andrew would get a kick out of these photos.
