Our new car!!!

We got a new car yesterday. It is a 2009 Toyota Camry LE with 5900 miles on it. I love it. There really arent any upgrades in the car but it was a great deal. We bought it from a 3rd party who was laid off and had too many cars as it was. We have a Chrysler Sebring also right now that we are leasing through Mandraes company but God is good. Mandrae found out today that he can turn it in with no penalities. So everything worked out perfectly! And the payments are almost identical so it will not even be noticed financially. YAY! Here are some pics:

How could I be a mother?

So Friday we come home from work around 8 pm like always and I see Bebe (boots) isn’t jumping up and down to see us. She was just dragging her lil legs around to be close to us. I didn’t think much of it. Then she just goes to the couch and lays down and wont come to me when I call her. I get close to her and see that she can barely breathe. She was gasping for air. I try to give her any a # of our different variations of treats and she wont eat or drink anything. So I start to get worried. I hold her close and she is literally gasping for air and it is really, really bad. AWEFUL. She cant hold her head up. She couldn’t get comfortable at all. She looks at me and her eyes start to roll into the back of her head and her eyes turned cloudy and then I start to panic. I start crying and freaking out that my baby is dying. So we try to take her on a walk but she could care less and just can barely walk. You can tell she is in a lot of pain. We get 2 houses down and realize that she is suffering and so turn around and go home. We do not know any vets in town and it is 10pm by this time. So we put her lil body that cant breathe in bed and pray for her all nite. I couldn’t figure out why she was acting like this. It was so weird. She usually acts like this – not nearly this bad- when she eats fertilizer but we hadn’t laid fertilizer for weeks now. So with my potent pregnancy nose I walk to her food and almost pass out. I pick up her bowl and there are maggots and mold in the bowl. I start to think. When we left for the cruise she still had food in her bowl and when we got back it was still there. Our house smelled good when we got back to us and nothing smelled bad at all. Well I just some food on top of the food that was already in there. (this is canned food- not refrigerated) Well apparently that food was no good and had molded while we were gone. So I stand there throwing up and very upset bc if she dies I am the one that killed her bc I was too lazy to clean her food bowl. I felt horrible. How could I possibly almost be a mother if I almost killed my one and only baby?
Well good news is that at 3 am she jumped into our huge and high up bed with me and so that was awesome bc that nite she couldn’t barely jump onto our small couch. So she was better in the morning and by lunch time we got her to eat some chicken. So baby is ok by the grace of God. I know that he saved her bc she was for sure DYING that nite. I just pray to God that she lives to be a big sister to the baby. The baby will love sweet and innocent lil boo boo.

Trip pics. There are too blogs for them bc there are alot of them.

This is the entrance to the boat. This is the 4 levels of floors that lead to each deck on the ship.
This is the elevator and stairs in the main entrance.

This is the main bar in the entrance.

This is Mandrae in a life jacket on the first day. :)

This is the biggest room in the ship where all the shows took place and this is where I sung in the talent show.

This is the hallway to our room.

This is the miniature golf course on the top of the boat.

Here is our ship. The Carnival Ecstacy.

This is me in that room practicing for the talent show. I sang His Eye is on the Sparrow. It was crazy bc the band didnt know my version from sister act and so I sang the first part acapella. I got a trophy though for singing. I sang in front of prolly 1000 people. There were 2000 people on the ship. Mandrae got a trophy too for playing in a bball tournament with like 50 other people and he won.

This is the same room full of people. We were all playing bingo. We played everyday.

Every night when we got back to our room there were towel animals on our bed. They were so so cute and so so funny. We couldnt take how crazy they were.

Pics of me on the boat dressed up for formal night.

In Cayman Islands with the pirate. :) He is not real.

We are standing w the guy that just carved the ice sculpture in like 20 min of 2 doves kissing over a heart.

In Cayman Islands on the beach.

The beach at cayman islands.

In Cayman Islands there is a town called Hell and it is full of jagged rocks that could kill you and so no one is allowed to walk on it. The rocks are like iron. It is crazy. So we took a pic in front of hell.

This is how huge I am at only 8 and a half weeks!!!!!!!

This is us with the cruise ship mascot- Freddie.

Pic of the boat.

This is me playing life size chess and beating Mandrae!!!!

Correction!

I forgot to tell all of you that we got to go Jamaica and the Cayman Islands and our cruise was extended to a 7 day cruise and so no worries!! NO swine flu here!! :)

Boots

And wanted to share this pic of boots bc I missed her SOOOO much while we were gone for a week and a half!!! I am so excited that she is back. Now my life is back to being complete! :)

Cruise

Ok so I am going to show pics of the cruise soon but I am still in the process of getting them all on the computer so I can show you all so hold tight and I will tell you how that trip went. :)

babys first pics

Ok so today was my first dr. appt. I got a sonogram and got to hear the babys heartbeat many times and it was so so cute. Mandrae was able to get off work and so he went to. They told me that I am according to the sonogram 8 and a half weeks along and that they thought I was 10 weeks but they are going to go by the sonogram and so my due date was pushed to Dec. 19th. Mandrae is still hoping that the baby comes on his bday which is Nov. 13th or Parkers bday which is Nov. 21 but his parents hope it is Dec. 19th bc that is their anniversary and my parents hope it is the 15th bc that is their anniversary(right?). All of my sickness was nothing new to them and so they just blew that off. Also they wont give me a prescription for liquid prenatal vitamins! (URGH!) and told me to just go and try Flinstone vitamins. Anyway here are the pics of the baby. It is all the same pic but I thought maybe u could see him/her better in the other pics? Sorry it is kinda small but hey I am only 8 1/2 weeks.
