30th Birthday

Well yesterday marked my 30th birthday. To be honest, I thought yesterday would be quite difficult. It wasnt so bad. I had lots of birthday wishes, got some awesome gifts and had a nice dinner with the family. Below are some pictures of Brent at dinner. We went to our favorite mexican restaurant, Mario's in Huntington Beach. Its been 2 months since Brent's heart attack - and 2 months since he has had ANY greasy food what so ever. He has been waiting for this day for weeks. People asked if I chose Mario's to have dinner at just for him....well yeah probably. But thats ok, the smile on his face after he ate his meal was priceless. :) Oh yes and also, his plate was cleared within 5 minutes.

24 Weeks Along

Yesterday marked 24 weeks into my pregnancy. They say Week 24 is considered point of viability, meaning that if our little man was born today, he would have a chance of survival. He would however be in intensive care for many months. It feels great to have gotten this far into the pregnancy. We still have a ways to go but he will be here before we know it.

Below is something I have seen on previous blogs that I thought was a cute idea, this way I could compare week to week during the remainder of my pregnancy. My moods, my body changing, cravings etc.

How far along: 24 Weeks, 1 Day

Total weight gain/loss: up 9 lbs

Maternity clothes: Maternity pants, stretchy pants, some maternity shirts but mostly still wearing my regular shirts.

Stretch marks: So far so good!

Sleep: Some nights are good, others not so good.

Best moment this week: Getting the crib bedding delivered. That was a gift from my mom. :)

Gender: Still a little man

Movement: TONS. He loves when I eat and when I am relaxing on the couch after a long day.

Belly button in or out?: Still in - thank goodness. :)

Craving: Peanut Butter n Chocolate ice cream from Baskin Robbins.

What I miss: Sushi :(

What I am looking forward to: My monthly checkup next week.

Brent also had blood work done on Tuesday to get his cholesterol levels checked since his heart attack. They results came back yesterday and lets just say we are super happy with the results. His cholesterol has dropped significantly (not that it was super high before but it didnt hurt him to get the number down)but good to know that his meds - and my cooking are working. :) Next week he meets with a team that will be monitoring his cholesterol closely.

Hope everyone has a GREAT weekend. :)

Brent's Doctors Appt

Brent had a doctors appt with his cardiologists yesterday and said everything looks good so far. He will have an eco-cardiogram in about a month to see how much damage has actually been done to his heart. But with healthy diet, exercise and staying on his meds long term, he has a long life to live - and could probably out live all of us.

I am at 23 weeks now in my pregnancy. Below is the first picture I have taken of my baby bump. The tummy is gettin bigger and bigger. I can no longer suck it in. Its here to stay for awhile. :)





Also met up with some friends from elementary school last night. Sarah, Kim, & Sharon - it was SO good to see you. These girls have not changed a bit - they are still the sweetest ever. And that my friends is why I love Facebook. Reconnecting with old friends is the best. :) Here is a picture below that we took after dinner.

The Weekend is here!

Ahhhh so glad the weekend is finally here. Brent and I are heading up with Bri, Bob and Pat to spend some relaxing time at the Havasu house. Even though its still too cold out to go into the water, it will still be a nice semi getaway.

22 Weeks Along

Today I am exactly 22 weeks along in my pregnancy. WOW how time flies by so fast. I am such a bad soon to be mom. I have yet to take a picture of my growing belly. I know I am going to regret this later on. :(

Yesterday was an exciting day we had our crib delivered to the house. One more thing to show that this baby will be here before we know it. I can't believe how quickly life is passing me by and its already 2010. I will be 30 years old in less then 20 days. YIKES!! Below is a picture of our crib. I will upload more pictures when the nursery is actually done.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year. I can tell that 2010 is going to be a great year for everyone. I just love the new year. New beginnings and memories. We had a mellow New Year's Eve at BriAnne's house surrounded by our friends and some family. My brother Garry was in town for the holiday's so that was nice to spend time with him. Below are some pictures of our new year's eve night.
