Waiting Game...

Aw man, let me tell you. I am so tired of waiting. I got about 7 more weeks until I can find out the gender of the baby. I want to know the gender now! I don't wanna wait! I want to start buying things! I want to start telling people what I'm having. Omg.  I've already made baby registries at Babies R Us and at Target, but not giving them out until I know the gender, and can cut the registry list down some. Right now, its more of a wish list, and has both boy and girl items. Once I find out what it is, I will delete the other gender items.

Oh, how I hate the waiting game. My next OBGYN appointment is March 13, and I plan on taking my son with us to the appointment, let him hear the heartbeat, let him feel like he is a part of this experience. I think if he hears the heartbeat, it becomes more real to him. I showed him the pic from the ultrasound, and while it probably looks like a blob to him right now, the next ultrasound will look more like a baby.

Ugh. Times like this I wish we only had to wait 9 weeks like some animals LOL.

How to pass the time?

I can see clearly now…

Here is something many of you don’t know about me… I wear glasses. I don’t wear them all the time like I should, as my vision has slowly gotten worse off, but I do wear them when I am reading, or driving, or at night time.  I know that typically, buying a new pair of glasses can get pricey. I don’t know about you, but I cannot afford the prices on the glasses I like the most. Granted, yes, my insurance does pay a decent price, but its not like I always want to pay that. And what if you want a pair to keep in the car, or at work, or a spare just in case something happens to your regular pair? Sometimes, its just nice to not have to pay a bunch.

If you know your prescription, you can actually purchase glasses online. GlassesUSA.com is an online eyeglass retailer. They offer discounts on great glasses, and have high quality frames and lenses. They have a 100% satisfaction guarantee, as well as a 110% lowest price guarantee (meaning they pay YOU the full price back, + 10% if you find the same glasses lower elsewhere!).  Also, if you purchase a pair, or two, or more, there is a refer-a-friend program which earns you discounts.  They have a Facebook page (glassesusa) and on Twitter (@GlassesUSA).

Right now, you can order glasses from them for a discount. Customers can take 20% off an order of $80 or more, and Free shipping (to the US) with code FS20.

Also, customers can take 10% off any order of prescription eyeglasses using code Blog10.

I know I am going to go buy another pair, I need a black pair, as I already have pink/purple and a red pair. So, if you get a pair, send me a pic, let me know how you like them!

Pregnancy problems.

Pregnancy problems are problems that only pregnant people have. Here are some of mine:
Nausea
Excessive Tiredness
Feeling crazy
Temperature changes
Emotional

Now, let me tell you, I never had these problems with my first pregnancy, which was a boy. He is now 7 years old. I am hoping that this one is a girl, since the symptoms are so different. But, been told maybe twins. My son says "I hope there is two in there". And twins apparently run on my biological dads side of the family. And I just found out that my maternal grandmothers father had twins in his family. Aye. But, hey, if its twins, I hope they are one of each gender. Afraid I may mistake them!

Anyways.
I go to the doctor on Feb 9, and I'll get an ultrasound and hear the heartbeat. I cannot wait. I am gonna make them double, and triple check, to make sure there's only one, or if there is two in there.

Anyways, its 1am. I am gonna go lay down. My husbands off for three days, tomorrow is the last day off for about 4 days, and I am gonna get all the rest I can get tomorrow.

Night :)

Superpoints = Free Money

So, if you don’t have me as a friend on Facebook, then you may not know that I am on Superpoints, a really cool site that allows you to click a button a few times a day and win points. Yea, that easy. And those points can convert to PayPal cash. Yupp, that easy. I have some invites available, these invites are all first come first serve. Once used, they are no longer able to be used, so if you want to sign up, and all are used, let me know, and I’ll get you a new one! I have already cashed out $10, because I am unable to save. But I know people who have thousands of points, if not hundreds of thousands of points which they are saving for gift cards or cash, or one of the many things on the site.

Don't call it a comeback | Back to basics.

I've been MIA here on my blog for a bit, and I know I said I was going to try to post more often, but in reality, I kinda don't know what to write about anymore! I've kinda stopped with the reviews for now because I was so busy, that I wasn't keeping up. And honestly, I don't feel my readership is what I want it to be, and I don't wanna be one of those bloggers who only do reviews and giveaways. Thats not what I wanted when I started this blog! I started this blog to vent, to have my voice heard, to find other people like ME. So, I am taking it back to basics. No reviews for a while. I want to get you all pulled back into me. I will be the first to say content has not been the best, and I apologize. I got so wrapped up in the hype of giveaways and getting more readers. So, here I am.

One week ago today I found out I am pregnant. I am now 6 weeks pregnant! I am due September 9, 2012, I still have a long way to go. I never thought it would be easy for me to get pregnant after depo, but it only took 5 months of practice, and one month of actually trying LOL. So, this kinda puts a damp into my working out, and goals to loose weight, but I am working out more now than I have before, I want to stay healthy for the baby, and I don't want any complications - high blood pressure or diabetes or anything. I do not want to be on any kind of bed rest, I would not be able to handle that.  So, I am working out, eating healthier - with the occasional splurge on pizza or something. No soda (except today I had one 20oz of cherry Pepsi). I've been drinking water, and Gatorade, and ginger ale. Not too much nausea, but a lot of heart burn, something I didn't have with my first one over 7 years ago!

Another thing I want to address is Mamavation. While most of those ladies are great, and have commented in the past, I felt like its a popularity contest. I felt like only the popular mommies got attention and tons of views/comments. I didn't feel like I had the support I needed, and thus I stopped writing blog posts for it. I tried joining convos on Twitter with the hashtag, and still no replies, so I gave up. Why put my self in a situation where I am not wanted? That's how I felt. I couldn't even tell you when the last Mamavation post was -- actually, after looking, it was August 29, 2011.  Yup. So, I've thought about it. I think I will try Mamavation again, see how the support goes, and see what happens, and go from there. I will make this my first Mamavation Monday post - even though its on a Saturday night. I've worked out 2 times this week, and plan on working out at least 30 mins every other day. And I workout using Just Dance 2 for Wii, and EA Sports Active for PS3 (every now and then for that last one).

And lastly, my goals for this blog for 2012. To help document my pregnancy, I may post pics, not sure yet. On Feb 9 I have my first ultrasound, so I will post a pic of that! I cannot wait to see my baby! My son and husband is excited, but I think my husband is still kinda shocked haha.  I have already created a birth plan (I know, I am ahead of myself lol), and have been refreshing my memory on what happens later on. I have time to kill, so might as well.  My son has been watching A Baby Story on TLC with me, he cannot wait, but he doesn't understand 9 months, so this should be interesting, he also keeps saying "Mommy, I hope there's two in there" - and points to my belly! I am like are you kidding me?! If there's twins, I don't even know what I would do. I would loose my mind.

Alright, enough of my blabbing. I am gonna get off here and finish cleaning the living room and then work out a bit.

Updated blog layout...

Going with something simple until I can get a professional, personalized theme/background, etc.  Tell me what you think!

Aye...

I feel so crazy! I haven't forgotten my blog. Not at all. I actually, have a review and giveaway that I am going to do here soon for this really cool "green" and eco-friendly chap stick/lip balm.

Anyways. I just started a new job at home as an independent contractor. Its pretty cool. Pays decent. You can send me a message, and I'll help you out with getting hired and stared. Either jentyree08 @ gmail.com Or send me a message on Facebook (www.facebook.com/jennifertyree) ...  Its taking up some time, but its OK. I am going to start making a reminder for myself to post weekly, just in case I haven't!

I have started couponing more, I want to be like the people on Extreme Couponing. I want to be able to help my family and friends, send stuff to troops, and even help out shelters or churches nearby. So, if you get a Sunday paper, and you don't use all your coupons, let me know! I will totally send you my address and have you send me your extras :)

Also, some of you who read the post about me having a concert on Oct 30, and Nov 26 - They both went well. I think the Nov 26 was really really good. That was MY set, the Halloween one was my sisters. I loved it. I got a good response, and I'm gonna do it again in January! lol

Ok. I think I am off for now... I've gotta work a bit.
