Stress

You know I usually don't get very stressed out about anything. In fact it sometimes drives my mom crazy because I usually have the attitude of "everything will work out, don't worry about it." Lately though I've been stressing over everything. There is so much to think about when you're pregnant. So many things that have to get done. Here's my list of stresses:

Work-Will they allow me to come back part time or I'm I going to have to come back full time and start looking for another job?
Daycare-What are we going to do with our little girl while we're at work? If I have to work full time can we afford day care?
Money- To many worries in this category to even list.
Nursery- I've cleaned out the room we're using for the nursery but we haven't painted or done anything.
Furniture-We haven't bought any furniture for her yet meaning, the crib, dresser, glider, etc is not bought nor have we even picked one out yet.
Odds & Ends- There is so many things that I need to do before she gets here, It's all starting to pile up. I am however accomplishing this list little by little.
Name- If you couldn't tell by the way I keep referring to our baby as "her" or "little girl" we haven't picked out a name for "her" yet. I know we have time and to be honest this is the least of my worries.

I know that, even though some of these things are out of my control, the Lord knows my heart, wants, and desires. I know I'm not the first one to feel this way and I'm definitely not alone. I'm trying my best to put all my trust in him and I know everything is going to work out. Its just stressful waiting for everything to fall into place.

Happy 30th!

Okay, So Jason's 30th Birthday was last Saturday, I'm a little late writing this post.

Jason had a pretty good 30th birthday. He went flying in the morning with his dad and that's pretty much all he wanted to do. We did go to outback steakhouse for dinner, Jason's choice. It was so good, I hadn't been there in a long time. Jason received a lot of nice presents, but didn't get the one thing he wanted, an airplane...good luck with that J.

I cant believe my husband is 30... wow! Anyway I'm so grateful for Jason and I'm glad that we had last Saturday to celebrate his life. I love you Jason!!! :)

Sock Monkey

Isn't this Monkey the cutest thing you've ever seen? I wanted to buy our baby girl a stuffed animal that was non-traditional. Plus I've always liked monkeys so when i saw this i couldn't pass it up. I found this little argyle sock monkey on etsy.com the name of the seller is storeyshop, she make all different colored monkey socks. It's the first thing we've bought for our little girl, I cant wait to give it to her.

It's a GIRL!!!

We're having a girl!!! We're so excited, we've felt like we were having a girl from the beginning and we were right. We don't have any names picked out yet for her. It will most likely take us the whole rest of the pregnancy to come up with a name for her.

The lady doing the ultrasounds told us our baby would most likely be long since her legs measured in the 90 percentile, she's most definitely Jason's baby, They told us everything looked great. I cant wait to go shopping and do the nursery!

St. George

Last weekend I headed down to St. George with my parents. Jason couldn't come due to work, so we had to have all the fun without him. This trip was planned by my Grandma Quinn so most of the Quinn side was there. It was so much fun just swimming and being out in the sun with the fam. I thought I would write about some of the highlights.

1. Everyone pretty much deciding that we're having a girl. (We find out next week, stay tuned)

2. My Aunts telling me all sorts of wonderful birth stories, its a good thing i still have 5 months until that day..

3. Seeing my sister and her family. I love getting to spend time with them.

4. Drew wearing nylons. He tried shoes on in JCPenny and then wouldn't take the nylons off to put his sandals back on.

5. IN-N-OUT Burger. Enough said.

6. Climbing up to a look out spot to see over the valley.

7. Bowling! Drew was so funny to watch and thought it was his turn after every one, He did bowl pretty well though.

8. Driving home sitting in the middle of Preston and Drew. A little cramped but still very fun.

The trip as a blast and a much needed break away from the everyday. I hope they plan a trip like this for next year!
