So after much stalking I realized that some people have new post up almost everyday! I can't for the life of me thing of something entertaining to write about EVERY day but I can do my best. Today is a good day. I'm feeling well enough that I got out of the apartment by noon, where I then met up with my Hot hubby for lunch at the elegant McDonald.(Not my choice) We then went into the Walmart across the street to pick up drinks for my sister Melissa's bridal shower, which is tomorrow. I am currently at Amanda's house goofing off with her and her neighbor Melanie. Tonight BJ and I are babysitting for his sister Mandy from 9 to 7. Fun huh? yeah it was my list topper for a Friday night :)
Today I am 26 weeks. 98 days to go! wahoo!! My sister is also throwing me a Baby shower as well. Super woman? I think so. My shower will be November 20th at her house. she made THE cutest invitations and is going through way more work then she needs to to put this on but I'm excited. Everyone has said to not buy anything till the shower but in all honesty I think I'm going to go crazy if I don't get at least somethings ready. I have not bought anything for my little girl and I'm going crazy. Its been kinda easy cause we are poor as dirt but I am not one who likes to put things like this off... homework, dishes, laundry sure but I don't even have a Binky or diapers. My mom did however buy me my first blanket. Its perfect too. I've been told that I am picking when it comes to styles for her but I just really don't want tacky pink filly foo foo stuff with jumping sheep and kitty cats rolling yarn around. The blanket was a raggedy Anne and Andy blanket in blues and reds. Don't get me wrong I like pink, in fact In high school while my parents were out of town I painted my room bright pink but I don't want too much.. and trust me there can be too much. :)
The other day I had another doctors appointment that I didn't write about. It was right after BJ and I flew back into town from Boise. We got another ultrasound to double check somethings that they didn't get on the first one, We got to see the Labia pronounced in all her glory. This may sound weird but it was soo cute! We got a better picture of her cute feet, a profile and a cute one of her face. Things like that help to make me more excited about this. I am truly grateful for my health at this point, I know that I want more than one child so I will have to do thins all over again but for now I am just happy to get out of bed!
BJ's job is going well, I know I haven't written much about BJ so here is a little bit of what he is up to. He took this job down in Utah in March. We moved down the beginning of April and he has been enjoying it ever since. The job here requires less manual work, which I think at first he missed getting his hands dirty but then as the days went by he realize how much more energy he had at the end of the day to hang out and play. He actually acts like a 29 year old instead of an 80 year old man ;) He is Jared's (his bro-n-law) assistant so whatever Jared can find for him to do BJ does it. Its a good job for now and its nice security. I'm not sure what BJ plans to do in the future, he had talked about going back to school so we'll see.
BJ is really excited about baby girl. After work he comes home and hops on the bed with me and will talk to her or just watch sports center and rub my tummy waiting for her to kick at him. I never saw BJ as the type to do all of that so it makes me giggle when he does. When I was sick at the begging he would tell the baby to be nice to me. haha silly BJ.
anyway there is a little more in depth post about BJ and I and what we have been up to.

Skimming the Surface
I know that i haven't done a great job keeping up with my blog and i swore i'd do a better job of keeping up if i started one but i have to be honest I've avoided writing because I've had a hard time trying to find things to be happy about. I've decided i will write about everything that has gone on and put the happiest twist on it i can :)
I had my surgery, and it went well. very well, My stitches healed within the month and only one gave me trouble and even then None of them are as big as the picture I posted. The inside healing wasn't bad either, my abs were sore for about 5 days but after that I could get about pretty easily. It did not however fix my morning sickness. I will be 26 weeks tomorrow and I still have it. I threw up the peach Jello I made for BJ and I for movie night last night. I'll tell you on thing, I will not miss pregnancy!! It has been THE hardest physical experience I've EVER had to go through. It has however been the greatest blessing for BJ and I and relying on each other. Our relationship has grown threw every rough or tough time as we've learned to communicate and understand where the other person is at, because although I feel like I'd rather be dead and it's "so hard" for me, I have realized that it is equally as hard for BJ in other ways. He lives with the devil almost 24/7 ha and he doesn't snap back or tell me to suck it up, he just rubs my back and asks what he can do even though every time I say "nothing" and start crying. I'm ridiculous!
The week following the surgery BJ and I got to find out the sex of the baby. That would have been week 19. My parents came down from Idaho for the ultra sound. We could only have a small amount of people in the room because it was so small so besides BJ my parents also got to go in. My sister Amanda Cody and Cade had to wait outside, but I appreciated her being there for support and at the end I asked if we could switch out my dad for her so she could see too. So in the end everyone got to see.. Our little Girl. :) They had a hard time finding the her sex because she had her knees sealed shut :) thats my little lady. It has taken me awhile to feel connected to her and I felt really guilty about not caring about the sex or about really anything that had to do with her. I think I blamed how I felt on her and if it wasn't for her I would be up and about living life like I had before she came along. I since then have started to feel a little better and have been able to enjoy her more.
BJ and I went up to Nampa for Halloween. It was grandpa Bryce's 80th birthday so there was a lot of family hoopla going on and the weekend was a very nice getaway. We got to spend some time with my parents and I got to do my moms hair. The poor lady hasn't had her hair done since right before BJ and I got married in Feb. haha It was nice to actually be able to do hair again, I forgot how much I love what I do.
Next week BJ and I get to fly out to Portland for my family's Thanksgiving. Every year we go out to rock away beach to go crabbing and clamming and we rent out a restaurant on the port and have Thanksgiving. Its the best!! I really hope that I can enjoy myself and not be too sick. On the flight to Boise last weekend I threw up on the plane, not too fun. So anyway I'm getting excited for the up coming months! They will be busy and hopefully filled with loads of fun.
I will try to do better on keeping up with everything so that its more up to date and I can have more detail instead of just skimming the surface.
