I thought I was going to get back to blogging. Looks like that was epic fail so far. However I'm going get to it. There is so much going on in life that I feel I need to jot down.

So here is a little up date on us. Where do I start?

Lets see Reilly has been competing as a modifie optional this season. She has been improving every meet. She has her state meet coming up the end of this month. She also was asked to join the East Pasco Cheerleading pack in January. So she has add that to her plate. The team went to there 2nd competition and they won 1st place!

She also had a big birthday! She turn 10 years old. Still can't believe she is 10 now. We had her birthday party at the local roller rink and everyone had a blast!!!

In other news. My pregnancy is going good. As of tomorrow I'll be 21 weeks! We found out last Monday that we are expecting a little Boy!!!

School is almost over Reilly and I both Ready for Summer to get here. So thats it for now. I'm really going to try to update at least once a week now.

New Year

2013-01-13T19:22:00.003-05:00

As we are 13 day's into the New Year I made up my mind that I want to get back to blogging.

There is so much going on in our life right now that I don't know really where to start. I guess we can start with the biggest news. We are EXPECTING! Yes you read that right. We found out 12/10/12 that I'm pregnant with baby #2. This will be my 9th Pregnancy. As most of you know that I have had several losses since having Reilly. So we were very very optimistic when we found out. The first thing I did was call my Reproductive Dr. they had me come in on 12/12/12 for blood work to check my beta's, then again on the 17th and then the last time on 20th. After they knew my beta's were going up like they should they brought me in for a U/S on 12/28/12 I was 6 weeks 4 Days. At the U/S we could see they little peanut and see a heart beat and it was 127. The Dr said that was very very good sign but wanted to bring me back in another week for my last appt with them before I could go to my normal OB. So I went back in on 1/7/13 when I was 8 week 0 days. This time not only could we see it we HEARD the heart beat! It was 167. So things are looking good. If things go right my EDD is 8/19/13!

In other New Year news. Reilly is now a Mod Op! Its like a Level 5/6. She had her first Mod Op meet in North Carolina on January 4th. She place 2nd over all with a 33.00. Her next meet will February 10th in Punta Gorda.

Walmart Deal!

2012-07-06T19:44:00.000-04:00

Today I was board and need to get out of the house since Reilly was at the Beach with her friend. So what else is there to do in this small town but go to Walmart. For a while now I have been thinking about learning how to sew. What do I stumble on when I first walk in but a cart of Pillow Pizzazz Kit on clearance SWEET so I picked up 2. As I did some more wondering of the store I found Corelle dish set that I have been looking at for the last year. Normal $30 on clearance for $15! I first wasn't going to get it but really when is going to be 50% off again? So I stanch it! Savings today is 50%! yeah me!

Pinterest Try

2012-07-06T19:23:00.003-04:00

I'm going to try to make a home made Ice Pack! Every since seeing it on Pinterest I wanted to make one. Why I have no clue. We can always use ice pack here. I followed the The Krazy Coupon Lady link however there is a ton on pinterest that you can follow.

I did add the cup so I didn't spill anything.

All done we will see what happens. Its now in the freezer.

Up Date

2012-07-05T22:59:00.004-04:00

This pass Monday I got a call from my fertility doctor's office well in the movies with Reilly. Not a place I really could take a call. So I ran out of the movies so I could. Reason being is the week before I had my last test done an endometrial biopsy. I was was a little freaked out about it the call this could be the answer! Come to find out I have some kind of infection in my uterus and have to take 2 different antibiotics for 10 days and repeat the endometrial biopsy make sure that the infection is gone. The nurse couldn't tell me much other then to take the antibiotics. I still have my appointment with the doctor on the 17th to find everything out.

Happy Birthday To Me

2012-07-01T11:20:00.000-04:00

Yesterday was my 5th Anniversary of my 29th Birthday. It was nice fun fill day. It started of early since I had to be at the gymnastic gym by 8 am to pick Reilly up from the sleep over! Michael had gone into work to make some over time. (but that didn't work out to well since no show up at the shop) So since Mike was at "work" Reilly and I went to go have a mother daughter breakfast at Reilly's favorite place IHOP!

Before Regionals Reilly had asked to have 2 pink strips in her hair. I told her after Regionals that yes she could get them done. So since IHOP is by our hair dresser after breakfast we headed over there. I did get my hair trim up and Reilly got her pink strips.

By the time we were done at the hair dresser mike was home from "work". I went back to bed since I had a girls night plan. Reilly had a birthday party for her friend Nina. So when I woke up Michael and sat and watch the men's gymnastic Olympic trials until it was time for me to head over to the Cook's to get ready for the night. No we still do not have a shower!

I headed over to the Cook's to get myself all doll up. We were going to dinner at Chili's then to see Magic Mike!

Good Time was had By All!

Our Wednesday Night!

2012-06-28T22:37:00.004-04:00

Tonight didn't go so well. I had taken a shower before hubby came home and notice well taking a shower that the tub was draining! Ok no big deal happens before with all the hair I loose in the shower. Just need to put the Drano down it. We I'm done with my shower and open the kurtin and I have a like in my bathroom! WTF! I barely make it out of the bathroom with out busting my ass! I get dress and start cleaning my lake up then hubby comes home as what the heck did I do? Are you kidding me! I just try to get clean so I didn't stink sitting at gymnastic for 2 1/2 hours! Hubby dose some investigating thinks it the toilet. Ok can't do anything now since he has to coach tonight and Reilly had practice.

On the way home from Gymnastic we stop at Lowe's to get Drano. We come home and I told Mike you work on the toilet and tub and I'll take Reilly to friends house to shower and get ready for the night so we will be out of your way. So Reilly and I headed over to the Cook's house.

Well At the Cook's Michael snake the toliet pull the toilet up to find nothing! so he put a new seal on it and put it back. We thought everything was good. NOT When he turn on the shower water every where! So we gave up for the night after we clean up again!

So here we are Thursday! Michael came home early from work and see if he could snake the tub and check the cap outside. he did all that and its still leaking. So right now we have toilet but no shower! As of right now we don't know what we are going to do. At least we can shower at a friends house. (Thanks Cook's)

Last Dr Appt

2012-06-27T14:59:00.002-04:00

Yesterday was my last procedure at the Fertility doctor! YEAH!!! I have been going to have this and that done for the last month for find out why i have had so many losses in the last few years. Now its just a waiting for my consultation on July 17th! This is going to be a telling appointment on what is going on I hope. The next 3 weeks are going to be long.

A little back story if you don't know. Since having Reilly in 2003 I have had 2 ectopic pregnancy and 5 miscarriages. With the most recent being a ectopic pregnancy this pass February. Lucky this one I didn't have to have my tube removed like I did back in 2009.

Something Cool

2012-06-25T14:08:00.000-04:00

Today is just another day here. Today was the first day of full week of Gymnastic Camp for Reilly. Well at Reginals she got a new Nastia Liukin leotard. She has been wanting a Nastia Leotard for I don't know how long but she had $42.00 so since she had more then half of what the cost was I told her she could get it. I have never seen her so excited. So of course it had to be the first leo she wore this week. So I took a picture of her and posted it on Instagram!

Never thinking in a million years that Nastia Liukin would comment on the picture, But she did!

SEE!!!!!

I couldn't wait until Reilly came home from camp to show her. As soon as we got in the car I show her! She was Sooooooooooooooo Excited. I don't think she wanted to take that leo off!

If you do not know who Nastia Liukin is she is the 2008 Olympic All Around Champion! She is now trying to make the 2012 Olympic team. If you would like to check her out this weekend watch the Gymnastic Olympic trials that will be on NBC!

Tropical Storm Debby

2012-06-24T18:38:00.000-04:00

What a blah Sunday we just made it a PJ day and Michael and I slept on and off all day. We did get some lundery done but thats about it.

For dinner I made Pizza cupcakes that I found on Pintrest!
They were Yummy. I made black olives and Peperoni & black Olives and just Cheese for Reilly

After Dinner I went out side to see What our yard looked like. Not to bad but still standing water in the yard. Lets hope I can get out tomorrow when I take Reilly to Gymnastic Camp.

No Child

2012-06-20T15:58:00.001-04:00

Today I took Reilly to an over night horse camp. She will be gone for 2 night and 3 days. Its very odd not having her home. I know she will have a good time. They will be camping in tents and swimming and of corse riding horses. Friday night they will have a house show for the parents and then a cook out after wards. I can't wait! I miss her all ready. I did send her camera with her so I hope she takes pictures of her fun time. So I can shear them with you.

Now what to do with my now 2 days of no kid. Today I spent the day working on this blog. If you can't tell it has a new look. Tomorrow I think I'm going to clean my room after I get my blood work! It need it so bad its not even funny. I have ton of stuff that needs to be toss out or packed up. Then Friday I hope to get my grocery shopping done. Let hope I get it all done.

Reilly from December horse camp.

Regional's

2012-06-18T22:00:00.000-04:00

This pass weekend we packed up and headed to Estero FL for The AAU Regional Gymnastic meet that Reilly was competing in. We decide to head down on Friday to make it easier so we didn't feel like would have to rush down there Saturday. So on Saturday we spent the whole day at the pool! That night there was spirit celebration that we went to where one of our East Pasco girls won Athlete of the Year! Sunday Michael had to be at the gym at 7:30am to coach the Mod Op girls and Reilly didn't have to be there until 4pm. So Reilly and were just going to hang out and chill until one of the other girls were going to go over and watch the Mod ops. So she head over there with them for a little bit. So I was all by myself at the hotel. It was very odd be there all by myself but it was also nice because I wasn't feeling very good so I went back to sleep.

Reilly got back to the hotel about 12 and Michael got back about 1pm at that point we went to have lunch after all it was Fathers day. After lunch we got ready for Reilly's meet. We headed over to the arena about 4pm. Before the meet started our friend Christie that lives down by Estero show up to watch Reilly. The girls started on Beam first Reilly scored a 9.025 she place 4th on that event Next was floor and she scored 9.000 and place 7th. Then was Vault and scored 9.350 and place 6th on that even. Last was Bars Reilly's favorite and she scored 9.375 and place 3rd for bars. Her all around score was 36.750 She Place 4th all around. So not to shabby for being a Level 4 for only 6 months!

2012-02-16T17:08:00.000-05:00

Everyone has been asking what the heck is going on since Michael posted that he was sitting in the ER waiting room. Well here it is. Friday Feb 10th (my mom's birthday) I found out I was pregnant well at my primary doctor. Keep telling her no I wasn't. lol to retest it. Sure enough I was. So they took my blood to do my HCG levels. As soon as I got out of my primary doctor I called my OB they set me up an appt for Feb 23. So all weekend Michael and I were still in disbelief that I really was pregnant. Come Monday morning my OB want me to got for more blood work to see if my HCG Levels had gone up. Due to my pass history of ectopic and miscarriages. Tuesday Morning I started the dread pain and cramping. So I knew what was coming. So I just took it easy. Then Wednesday I woke up at 4am with saver pain but it had eased off so just went about my day. Then came about 3pm when the pain started again. Thanks to a wonderful friend she pick up Reilly to take her to gymnastics. Then about 4pm hour or so after I had taken some pain meds. the pain wasn't going away so a call to the OB and they advised me to go to the ER. O joy! So waited for Michael to get home from work and off we went. We got to the ER at 4:50pm. I didn't get called back until 10:15pm! Thanks to snowbird season here in Florida! Ugh! Before I got called back they did draw blood and do all the admit stuff. When I did get back they had all the results. When I got back they did an U/S. Then the ER Dr came and saw me at Midnight! After everything turns out that I have another ectopic but this time its on my left side. Lucky tho it not big enough to rupture my tube so they gave me shot to dissolve it. Witch may take weeks. O Joy! I want to thank my friend Rachel who works at the hospital who was there for me when I got my shots and took me home from the hospital Since Michael had to go get Reilly from a friends house and get her home.

My Journey.....

2012-02-09T12:55:00.000-05:00

I really didn't know where to start. I feel I need to tell my story. I really haven't talked about what been happening the last few months to me. Back in October I found out I was "pregnant" again. This was my 6th Pregnancy. I was very very very scared but hopeful. Everything was going good I had all the nasua sore boobs you name it I had it. So I thought that was good sign since I didn't have any of that with the other pregnancy. So I made a Dr appt right way. They wanted me wait until I would have been 8 week to come in. After explain to them what has happen in the pass they sent me right over for blood work. The blood work didn't come back so good. So off for a U/S. They couldn't see anything yet so more blood work and when the results came back I just knew it wasn't good. So my Dr set me up for a D & C On October 28th 2011. Witch would have been my first one yet still not easy. I think I much rather have a D&C then passing it on my own.

After talking to my mom she offer to pay for Weight Watchers for me. I sign up Nov 7th 2011. I went to my first meeting that day. When I told people I sign up for WW I got the same response "Right before the holidays!" I would just wait until the first of the year. Well my reasoning was why wait! I need to loose weight now! My Starting weight was 200.6Lbs! I have had my ups and downs. Though out the holidays but come to the first of the year I had lost 5lbs! Who could say that they lost weight during the holiday season? I can! The month of January I really kicked it up! I hit my 5% goal on January 30th 2012. I had lost 10lbs! So I said good by to the 190's. I now weigh 190.6 and I have lost 1.5in in my waste! I have had a few mom's at gymnastics tell me that I have been looking good. I just couldn't see it. I still feel like I'm still 200lbs. So I had a good friend take a picture. To see. Since She took our Christmas pictures the day before my first weigh in I would have a good idea what I looked like when I started my weight loss journey. So here they are!

So Every 10lbs I'm going to take a picture so I can see my weight loss. After looking at the pictures I can really see the loss in my face. Not so much anywhere else. Thank you Cari for taking the pictures.

Track Savings

2011-10-06T11:33:00.001-04:00

I have been looking for a spread sheet that I could track my savings. I didn't want to make one myself. I really want to see my percentage of savings. If I'm doing good or bad at my shopping. I finely found one over at The Coupon Project. It takes some getting use to but so far I really like it. As of right now for the month of October I have save 106.85%.

Walmart Trip 10/3

2011-10-05T13:19:00.001-04:00

I normal don't shop at Walmart. Its just to crazy for me! I live in Snow bird land and they are starting to arrive! I couldn't pass up this deal so off to walmart I went. I was only going to buy this 1 deal that I had found on Southern Savers. I was buying Cover Girl blush that is 3.94 at my store. But I really didn't want to buy 8 blushes so I also found the Powder Puffs that were 3.24. SWEET! So Off to check out. So when I did the fast math in my head I was like I'm going to be getting money back. I hope! But wait I for got my Walmart coupon police at home. Shoot I could remember if they do give money back. So I just waited in line to see what would happen. I did let the few people behind me know that I may take a few minuets because I know the cashier would have to get a CSM. No one seemed to mind. So it was my turn and hand the cashier my coupon and sure enough I was due 1.26 back. The cashier was really confused by it so sure enough a CSM came over and said yes give her 1.26. SWEET. I was paid to take something out of the store. That was my first time ever since starting to coupon I was paid to take something out of the store.

Break Down
(4) Cover Girl Powder Puffs 3.24

Starting

2011-10-03T13:33:00.001-04:00

So I have really started to getting into coupons. I know it seems like everyone is doing it. I have been doing it for over a year now but not hard core like some. The last few weeks though I really have enjoy seeing how much I could really save. It has been kind of like a game. So I like so many other blog's and web sites I'm going to try to log my shopping trips. I think this will be fun. Well for me at least.

Back To School

2011-09-04T20:06:00.000-04:00

Yes, I'm a little late on this but better late then never right? School started back on Aug 22nd here in our county. I still can't belive that my daughter is in the 3rd grade. How they grow up fast! First day of school was like all first day of school nervous and excitement. I don't know if she was more nervous then I was but man I sure was. I don't know why I get so nervous. I think this year was a little more because of everything that has gone on in the last few months and all of the unknown. I haven't posted about it but Reilly was diagnosed with ADD this pass May. So we have done alot of changes in our lives. By changing what we eat and how we talk to her and our routine. So going back to school was change to our routine so I was nervous on how that would effect her. Though she was very excited to go back witch after last year I wasn't sure if she would be.

Now we are 2 weeks into school we have another change. We saw the doctor on Tuesday to see how she was doing on her medication after talk to him we decided to change them. Since her moods go way up to way down and that is not Reilly. She had to be off the old medication for a few day before starting up the new one because he wanted her to take the new medication on a day that she would be home with us all day just in case she had a bad side effect. So tomorrow morning we will try the new medication. So will see what will happen. Let hope this will work.

Ha Ha Ha

2011-08-15T11:15:00.000-04:00

I don't think I'll ever get to writing about my life. O well. I really want to tho. Maybe once school starts. I'll get back to it. I do know a lot is going to change when school starts. For one thing I'm going to start going to the YMCA every morning and start working out! So wish me luck on that. I rally do want to get this weight off of me. I just don't have any drive right now. Who knows if I will in a week. So will see what happens.

ReStarting

2011-06-12T11:11:00.001-04:00
