IT'S A BOY!!!

Another Boy in the Family, I guess my family has been outnumbered more girls than boys for way too long, These boys are trying to even out the fam!




We have name options, two that we really like, we just haven't decided in what order to name Baby boy Butler... though that is starting to have a nice ring to it.......? haha

VOTE PLEASE!!!!!

HEY!!!!
oh baby! Pictures, Images and Photos

This Monday July 11th, 2011 we are going to the doctor for our Ultrasound! I will be 19 weeks along and this is the ultrasound where they get all the measurements of Baby Butler. This is the utlrasound where baby will look like a baby instead of a jelly bean! AND!!!!!!! This is the Ultrasound that we are able to find out the sex!! =)

Please vote on my side bar on what you think Baby Butler will be! Please pray that baby is not shy on Monday because Rodney and I are dying to get things ready for baby and we want to know PINK OR BLUE!!!

I have of course asked Rodney over and over what he wants boy or girl, he has always said he doesn't care either way as long as baby and mommy are healthy! About a month ago he says to me "it is going to be a girl", I asked him oh is that what you want? He said not necessarily I just have a feeling it is a girl. So that is my Husbands guess. =) I do not have a toddler (my nephew Cayden) to predict what I will have like Alicia (SIL) did.

SOOOOO GOOOO VOTE!!!!--------------------->-------------->


As far as my pregnancy for all of you who are not around me everyday...so all of you =P
I am feeling great! I think I may have popped something in my upper back and that has been giving me problems for the past few weeks. No morning sickness yet. I feel as though my hips have gotten wider and that was the reason I couldn't fit in my regular pants so early. But I am not complaining, Maternity pants are sooo comfy hahaha! I have to pee all the time, it isn't horrible except I can not sleep through the night anymore without getting up at least once.

I think you can see a baby bump now, everyone tells me it's still small! Well goodness I hope that at 4.5 months I do not have a full blown bump! Could you imagine if I was huge already and only going to get bigger?? I am not having an elephant people!!

Rodney's hands seem attached to my belly also, it is so cute! He tells me the other day "I just can't stop touching it! I am not sure why, I have never done this before." I told him it is because it is not just jiggle anymore his baby is in there! =) It is cute to see him change in little ways, and see his smile when we talk about Baby! He has a hard time getting excited about things because he doesn't want to get his hopes up! But he is getting excited, I can tell!

I think I feel baby kicking as well! For a couple weeks now! Feels like my insides are twitching! Mostly after I eat then sit still. I Can not wait until I really feel baby in there so i know for absolute sure that it is baby and not gas =P

Pray everything goes well monday!!

That's All Folks!!!

HOORAY!!!!
hoorAY Pictures, Images and Photos
I am a one job woman now!! Well technically down from three to two [I'm working hard to make this baby =P]. Sunday is supposed to be my last day but the manager forgot to put me on the schedule this week and have been waiting for his email all week.... nothing....can I take that as a sign that I am finished?

I will miss the really cheap flights, and I didn't get a chance to go to Hawaii. I wanted to go for our 2nd Anniversary, but having a baby will be way more exciting for us. It was a great learning opportunity for me and was such a blessing when we were short a job.

I am extremely thankful and proud of my husband for working so hard to move up at his job to Manager to allow me this opportunity to just work one job. I haven't worked one job in almost 3 years, I am not too sure what to do with all this free time. Maybe I can actually find time to blog now??? I am loving the free time and the fact that if i wanted to I can sleep 8 hours a night instead of 3!

I am still at Starbucks, still trying to move up, though it is kind of put on hold for the time being so i can have somewhat flexible hours come November. In January this year I had lost the opportunity to promote due to drama at work and I was thinking that God has a reason for me to not move up right now. I believe he had "little" something else in mind for our lives this year, which I would take over a promotion. I have always wanted to be a mommy =)

Baby Butler!!!

As I am sure all of you know by now Rodney and I are expecting!!!

As of today I am 9 weeks 3 days! We had ultra sound on Monday and baby is measuring great and heart beat is 175=). Not exactly sure what it is supposed to be at this point but the lady said it was great!

It is so strange to think that there is a little person inside my body...... haha! I told Rodney the other day, "Wouldn't it be extremely weird if i plugged my ears and could hear the baby's heartbeat?" hahahaha

Rodney has been the greatest husband so far! While at work 2 weeks ago he went out and bought healthier food for me, he took care of me when I had a cold, he drove me today to get blood test done just in case I would pass out driving home! He was going to go out last night and get me Arby's because that is the only thing I wanted! but it was already closed! He is the sweetest! hehe

I do not really have any major symptoms, I have fatigue, some days better than others. Now I am used to being tired because i work too much, but this is a totally different kind of tired and I am so not used to it at all, all I want to do is nap all day! Yesterday I did not think i would make it through work, no idea how i did. Today, seems a bit better but i am getting sleepy now! I am sorry Alicia but I have not had morning sickness! I get light headed or almost nauseous feeling if i don't eat enough, but that is it! Other than the TMI things that most women get, lets just say I didn't have to pay thousands for my boob job! =P hahahaha

I am so excited to be pregnant along side my Sister in Law Alicia!! She has also had a baby before, recently so I can ask her all the questions i have! =P We will have to visit more so we can get pregnant photos together =P Soo cool to have cousins so close in age!

Well, i think my dinner is done and i finally found something that sounds sorta good so I am out!

A Girl with a Broken Smile...

Where have I been?

I have been here just not here. Since October we have gone to NYC which was amazingly fun!! We had Thanksgiving (just us two), We got a big Christmas tree, had Christmas, Rushed home NYeve to kiss in the new year, had Christmas #2 in LBC and have been working.

I am still at airport hoping that this year will be the last! Hoping that it will be only a couple more months! That all depends on Starbucks. I had an interview for Shift Supervisor and it was postponed due to me being on the same shift as a co worker who was upset and not censoring what they were saying at work and somehow i was "guilty by association" as my manager put it.

I would consider this co worker a friend outside of work, so i was listening to the rant, giving them an objective view to the situation. Because i didnt walk away while they were upset and running their mouth, another co worker assumed i was at fault as well.

I was in no way involved in bad mouthing or bashing my manager. Why in the world would i do that if i want to go anywhere in this company?!

I cleared things up and everything is well between me and my manager, he likes me, he says he is going to get my interview back but probably will not be for a few weeks. i am still very disappointed and feel like this issue i got roped into just sent me back months of hard work. Like it doesn't matter that my name is cleared i feel it will stiff be held over my head just because i was assumed to be at fault.

Because of this delay, another one of my coworkers had the interview and is now rumored to be getting a Lead position at our store.

This is like a punch in the gut. I HAD IT! it was in arms reach, there was a light at the end of this long tunnel of two jobs, and all this hard work i have been putting into this promotion was finally paying off, and it was taken from me JUST because i was working that day; just because i lent a friendly ear.

If only i called in sick that day, if only i started after my co workers rant, if only they just accepted the fact they don't get along with the manager and just keep their mouth shut at work. if only i was working with someone else that day...

So maybe this position at our store isn't the one i am supposed to get. Maybe it wasn't the answer to our prayers. Maybe there is some other lead position available at a different store and that is where i am going to be called to. Or at least that is what I have to tell myself, and pray about.
Pray that there is something else out there. Pray i get the opportunity to interview again and soon. Pray that 2011 becomes my year of dropping job #2! I will be!

p.s. thank you God for a husband with encouraging words!
