great america with Nora

a couple days after we got home from our la vacation we went to Great America with
Nora & Thad. And i had a blast!! i think i went on 2 rides, but it was still fun watching Nora and
Ryan having so much fun together.

look at how beautiful Nora is.... hopefully one day Ryan marries her. She makes me so happy, i love her so much!

Ryan, Nora, Thad, and John spent 4 hours in the water park, while i sat and relaxed on a beach chair.

then they went on rides for 3 hours. it was a long day for me and my big belly, but everyone had fun!

disneyland & l.a. roadster show

for fathers day weekend we went to Disneyland for one day (we had free passes from the give a day get a day program) it was A TON of fun! Terri & Darryl went with us, and Ryan loved hanging out with them and sitting next to Darryl on all the rides. i only went on a couple rides, thanks to being pregnant. but i had fun sitting on benches and people watching while everyone else went on the rides. we watched Fantasmic and i haven't seen it in probably 10 yrs, since i never liked it. but it was totally worth me saving us a seat for 2 hrs while Ryan & John went on rides.
I'm excited to go again next year for fathers day AND we are already planning a 5 day Disneyland trip for Nov 2011 (baby boy's 1st b-day).

The next day after Disneyland we went to the Disneyland hotel and had breakfast at Goofy's Kitchen and ate an amazing breakfast with all the Disney characters. then off to the LA Fairgrounds in Pomona to set up for the Fathers Day weekend car show. I sold my clothing and we sold the event shirts. tons of people were there, probably the biggest car show i have been to. The best part of the car show was being there with almost my entire family. my grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and long time family friends. when i was a kid, Emily, my brother and i would travel all over going from car show to car show selling shirts with our family. this trip brought back old memories and made me so happy and thankful for the amazing family i have.
I'm excited Ryan and soon baby boy with be growing up like i did, selling shirts and traveling from show to show. its always a great time!!

we all went to dinner at the hotels restaurant and it was super good!!

i love the hotel too, I'm excited to stay there again next year.

we are use to crappy motels, and this hotel was the nicest i have stayed in!

overall our 5 day trip was so much fun!

and I'm counting the days till next year when we

get to do it all over again.

hockey practice

yesterday we woke up at 4:30am to get ready for Ryan's first hockey practice. we had to be in San Jose at 7am. that's how it will be every Saturday morning. 7am practice and 7 am games. uuuggggg.
this "soccer mom" "hockey mom" thing is going to be tough for me to handle. i can wake up that early, i just struggle to get out of the house that early.
he had alot of fun at his first practice and he was a wayyy better skater than most of the kids there. about 40 kids ages 2-12. Ryan skated backwards, on one foot, and he only fell once. my little man is a born hockey player.

after practice we went to my favorite mall in San Jose (Oakridge). its not just a normal mall, its huge! with a 2 story target and a movie theatre. we saw Karate Kid. and that movie was rad!!! then we hung out at the mall for 4 more hours. i haven't hung out at the mall that long since high school. it was a good time! Olive Garden for dinner, was the best way to end the day! we were out and about for 12 hours. what a long day.

today (Sunday) we went to Safeway and bought all our food for DISNEYLAND and the car show in L.A.
Ryan and I hung out in the front yard for a few hours, he played in his little walmart plastic pool, and i sat in the shade. for dinner john bbqed, and now Ryan & John are at the hockey park while i watch t.v.
yay for a relaxing day, and an awesome weekend!!

the best part of today...... i felt baby kick twice for the first time! a few mins after i had some nutter butter cookies, so i'm thinking the baby likes nutter butter. it was pretty exciting! now im laying around waiting for it to happen again.

countdown to Disneyland ...... 4 days!!

camping

last weekend John & I worked at the goodguys car show, my parents were camping so we took Ryan to their camp site while we worked.

he had fun exploring and walking around in his swim shorts.

baby update

today i went to my doctor appointment, thinking i was having an ultra sound to check on the cysts and tear in the placenta wall. and then my plan was to ask the doctor if the baby was a boy or girl.

well, my doctor didn't plan on doing an ultra sound AT ALL. her plan was to make me drive 30 mins each way, to see her, just so she can ask me how i have been feeling. uuuummmm are you kidding me? i don't pay hundreds of dollars each time i come just for you to ask me how I'm feeling.
she wanted to discuss my feelings on having surgery to remove the cysts. and i told her i do not want surgery, i will deal with the daily pain, until baby is born. then i will have surgery.

so after we talked about surgery, i said " if your nice you would give me the ultra sound"
i think she got a little offended. but she did it, and I'm glad.
john & i both took today off work to see the baby. and i wasn't leaving there until i got to see.

ultra sound, found no tear in placenta wall. SCORE! that means it healed, which means i am less likely to have a miscarriage. woo hoo to that!
ultra sound didn't find any cysts, but i know they are still there, because i feel the horrid stabbing pain in my gut several times a day. so i have to wait to go to radiology ultra sound in two weeks, then i will know for sure if the cysts are there or not.

as far as baby.... we still don't know if its a boy or girl. we couldn't see the area :(
but we did see the heart beat, and it was going strong.
we saw a close up of the face, and its so cute!! i cant wait to meet he or she.
baby was looking right at us, big eye sockets (kinds creepy) and opening and closing the mouth, like he/she was talking to us.

doctor still wont let me go on bed rest for the rest of the pregnancy, she said wait 6 weeks, and if I'm still having horrible pains, then i can stop working.

 i wont find out if its a boy or girl till i go back in 2 weeks. i hope the next 2 weeks go by super fast.

online shopping for baby

i am online finding super cute things for babies. and wanting to buy buy buy.
but i cant since we dont know if its a boy or girl yet.

these shoes are so cute!!! if i dont have a girl, i'm buying these for baby Sawyer for her 1st bday.
