  feelin' good!

  wow, it's been 3 weeks!  i didn't realize it had been that long since i'd written. oops!

  i'm over the thing i wrote about in the last post. actually was over it by that night or the next day. so all's good there. and no, you're not getting anymore details than that ;)

  btw, why don't people tell you that's it perfectly normal to feel perfectly normal and healthy during pregnancy?or maybe they do, but maybe one hears so much bad stuff about pregnancy that one tends to prepare herself for the worst. even though my mom and most of my friends had generally good pregancies, i really thought it would be worse. maybe i'm totally speaking too soon and might jinx myself, but I'M FEELIN' GREAT!! seriously, except for weeks 7-9, i've really felt great! thank you LORD!!

  i had a migraine wednesday. i forgot to bring my tylenol to work, just in case (usually if i catch a headache at the beginning i can prevent it from getting too bad). so it started around lunchtime and by the time i got home, i did not feel well at all. now, for the past year or two, my "really bad" migraines have been causing me to eventually throw up. sure enough on our way to growth group that night, i had to have chad pull over so i could lose my lunch in a bank parking lot. fun! but, since the migraine caused it, i'm still saying i haven't gotten sick from the pregnancy. :)

  my next dr.'s appt. is next friday. just a routine check-up. listen to the heartbeat, ask some questions, see ya in four weeks. normal and uneventful is good! at the appt. after that.....we get to do the ultrasound to find out the gender!!! we're pretty excited! it'll be nice to see the baby again. we haven't seen it since 8 weeks and at that point, it's basically just a couple of circles and a blinking little triangle that's the heart. by now, it really looks like a little person! it's about 4 to 4 1/2 inches from crown to rump.

  when i said i thought i felt the baby (at 11 weeks) i was wrong. i was told by my doctor that it won't happen until 16-18 weeks, but i think i felt it the other day. i'm at 15 weeks so it's close to what he said and i think it's totally possible! :) anyway, you're probably tired of hearing about baby stuff!

  i've signed up to be a Southern Living at HOME Consultant!!! i'm so excited about it! There is real money-earning potential and promotions are very attainable! i'm having a launch party on sunday afternoon at my house, then my first party for someone other than myself is the next night! the hardest part so far is getting people to commit to a party date. i've had a bunch of people say they'll probably host one or they'll say "maybe in feb. or march". now i just have to follow-up and set a date....without becoming a pain in the rear. i'd eventually like to get to a point where i'm consistently doing 6-8 parties a month, but at least 4. once i get started and get some booked, i can get bookings from bookings and grow my network. then hopefully i can get some repeart business too. the hostess rewards are so good, i don't know why people wouldn't host one. i hosted a couple of them before i got into this and always earned free stuff!

  if you're in the area and are interested in hosting a party, please let me know!!!

  if you'd be interested in doing a catalog party sometime, please let me know!!!

  my goal is to be a director by january 2010! that means promoting 3 levels in two years...with a new baby! it can be done, i just have to work at it! once i get to director, there are some other great perks too!

  if you're interested in becoming a Consultant, please let me know!!

  wish me luck on my first party on sunday!
