We're moving!

I'm 6 months prego & everything is still going great! Tucker is kicking like a little ninja. Everytime Jer tries to feel him he stops, Jer likes to think he has the magic touch to put him to sleep.

I'm getting bigger but I can still see my toes! My boss started getting worried that I wouldn't be able to do my daily tasks, even though I thought I was doing just fine, so he cut down my hours. Thanks a lot, even when I had the day off one of the other assistants was calling me asking me how to do this or where this was. I should've been getting paid for all my time I was on the phone with them. Of course it made me very upset to feel as though I'm not helping out at all, but when one door closes another one opens, Jeremy got orders to Clearwater! So I guess it was a good time for all this to happen. I did go in & speak with my boss to tell him what was going on & I couldn't believe what I saw, the place was a mess! There were instruments sitting out needing to be put away, boxes stacked up needing to be unpacked, cases that still haven't been sent out. One of the hygienists came to me & told me how awful the past week has been, the new assistants aren't communicating with eachother both wanting to be in charge. Patients getting backed up because they are taking so long. She told me that she misses me already, so that made me feel good that I pretty much held that place together. Another assistant called me yesterday telling me how he sent one of the assistants home b/c he was so fed up with her, but I guess it is no longer my problem. Even though he wants me to come back after I have Tucker & I would really like to but now it's not a choice since we are moving.

We found a cute little house to rent in Palm Harbor, it's a town right outside of Clearwater. Really nice neighborhood. It's so stressful having to move so quickly & so expensive. I wish they had housing up there for us but all they offer is 2bd/2bath apartments, there is no way we could swing that with 2 huge dogs, a baby plus me & Jer. Jeremy will be staying there until about Oct. then he will be going to school in NC for 5 months. We will be staying in Clearwater & Jess is going to come down & help me with the baby. Which is great b/c when she was younger she used to do the babysitting courses every summer & when I would babysit I used to call her asking how to do this or that, I know sad right. But she is great with children & I trust her completely.

Here is an outside shot of the house we will be renting.


We still have tons to do, cleaning, scheduling the movers, deposits, setting up the new utilities. Such a pain, haha.



Six months prego!

Catch up

So it has been forever since I have wrote on here. Alot has happened, we found out we are having a boy!! I knew it, haha. This was a much better ultrasound experience than last time b/c the people were friends of a friend & very sweet. I'm getting bigger everyday, I feel like a cow but my loving hubby Jer tells me all the time how beautiful I am, bless him b/c lord knows I have been not a very nice person lately.
Here are some pics of my belly--5 1/2 months.



Jer testing out the baby carrier.



Some pics from the ultrasound--





I've been feeling him kick alot. He likes to wake up at 4 am and do somersaults. We have sort of decided on a name. Tucker Scott but Jeremy likes Tucker Jack, so we are trying to come to an agreement.

Our other babies, Bubba & Rizzy, haha, recently went to the vet. Everything was fine but one thing, they are fatties & she wants them to lose 10lbs by the end of the year. This is my fault b/c I haven't been walking them as much as I used to, so they are on dog food for fatties. Jeremy still tries to sneak them treats.

Ummm let's see oh yeah we registered at Babies R' Us & target for all the baby stuff, that was so overwhelming and tiring. So much stuff.

But other than that everything has been fantastic!!!

Identity Theft

So recently I was a victim to identity theft. It sucks so bad, I didn't even realize this account was still open. I noticed money was being drawn out of my bank account from PayPal, which is an account you use when you buy & sell on ebay. I haven't used this account in like 2 years. I called them and they closed the debit card out but I noticed there were still purchases being made so I called and now at this point I am furious, I am transferred around about 5 times, put on hold for a total of about 30 minutes. It is ridiculous, they then tried to accuse someone in my family was doing this, I said lady why would someone in my family need to purchase $1000 worth of ads, all these purchases were for like google ads, yahoo listing and yellow pages.She then told me it would take 10 days for someone to get to my dispute and up to 45 days to resolve it. !WHat?!? So thankfully my bank is helping and trying to speed up the process. It makes me feel so vulnerable. It is just awful.

15 weeks

I just came upon my 15th week yesterday. I'm over the nausea, so happy, but I'm still extremely tired. The time is going by fast but at the same time very slow. I have been craving dill pickle chips like crazy but of course they don't sell them down here in Florida. I ask people about them and they look at me like I am nuts, they are like what are those! Hopefully my little sister will get on the ball and send me some like I have been asking her, hint hint, haha.

Not much else going on. Jeremy is 42 on the list but should be pushed up soon on account of him getting another physical to replace the one they lost. We are busy busy now that it is season, traffic is crazy and old people and tourists everywhere.

Bubba and Rizzy are doing good. We just got them new beds so they don't seem to move from them very often, well Bubs anyway. They are huge, I didn't really realize this until our friend brought his new dog over and Bubba was standing next to the dog and Bubba was probably twice his size. I hope they will do well with the baby. I think they will, they have been around kids before but not for an extended time.

This is a picture of Bubba after he got ahold of a pacifier of a boy that Jess was baby sitting, we found him in his bed with it and I had to take a picture of it.

First Doctor's Appointment

We went to our first doctor's appointment. I'm 12 weeks, he determined the due date August 11, a week after my birthday! He gave us alot of great information and answered all of our questions, believe me we had a lot. He told me that I only have about a week or two left of the nauseousness and being so tired, I'm so excited for that!

Towards the end of the appointment he pulled out his doppler machine and squirted that cold gel on my stomach, we waited and waited while he tried to find the heartbeat. I was starting to get a little scared and thinking why can't we hear it, what is going on. Then he simply said well maybe next time. I was so letdown. We go back on the 23rd of February so I'm hoping we get to hear it or atleast get an ultrasound then.

Exciting News!

Well its been about 4 weeks since we discovered that I am pregnant! We're extremely excited and nervous as well. We have no idea what to expect and none of the books we have read can come close to what the experience is really like.

Jeremy is very attentive and I can already tell he is going to be a great Dad. He has been cooking and cleaning alot lately, very unlike him, haha. He is also trying to give up smoking, it's not easy but he is trying.

Thanks to everyone who has been giving us great advice!
