ITS A GIRL!

chasing pavement.

I have NOT made up my mind.
I cant think it over anymore.
If I'm wrong then am I right?




Should I give up or should I keep on chasing pavements?

Wordless day

just be Happy I'm actually posting. Lol

Change of the... mind.

I suck at blogging.


I would never have guessed the change of... not heart but of mind that has happened to me lately.
Things I was SO against and never wanted to happen have furiously taken over my thoughts.
It's stuff I didnt plan on. It's stuff that I would normally dread, but how having this Peanut has affected me the way I was thinking.

I don't know what to do. Pros & Cons lists are no help.
Am I giving in or is it really best for me and my family?

I think we need to make a decision sometime soon, but I dont know if either will ever be the right one.

I need someone, something to show me the way.

Off to go get more Peanut Butter...

Introducing..

Baby Batchelor also known as (of today's ultrasound) Peanut...

I can not identify anything on this picture, but Steve can...

When we first got the look we were able to see the starting of fingers & toes 

(I of course was a little in shock about a certain part of the ultrasound,

so I only caught a quick glimpse... but Steve saw it)

But, I did see the flicker of it's heart beating... 

wow.

If you see this then note: I haven't even acknowledged my pregnancy on Facebook & the only other people to have seen this has been family. MARISSA! lol (cause youre the only one that reads this. lol)

Baby?

You can read correctly.
The subject of this is Baby...




Steve and i are expecting our first child, due the end of May.

Man O Man... Am I ready for this?
This blog has gone from a weight loss memoir to a holy crap so many decisions before Baby gets here list.
 

BAM!

Thats life throwing me for a loop.

Not a "cool new roller coaster loop, but a OMFG is this really happening now loop.

Stay tuned for more details..

Sex on Fire

After a night of crazy storms.

One thing about Orlando is the beautiful sky.

 NOW

I have done amazing. I know I have come a very very long way (46lbs way), but I am stuck & I want these last 40 lbs to melt away... NOW!

As much as it makes me cry, I have to look at those older photos to remind me where I've come from.

It's HARD! There's a lot of sacrifice & time you have to designate to working out.

You cant drink beer, have ranch dressing, or even dessert......... but it WILL be worth it.

This is to moving forward...

Sing us a song!! You're the Piano Man...

Now we can say that nothing's lost
and only change brings round the prophecy
Where now it's melting,
the solid frost was once a veil
on greener landscapes we would see
Beneath my surface the water's heating
And steam comes up and out the tears you see me shine
For every strange and bitter moment
there was never a better time
For every pleasure exacts its pain
How you hurt me
how you were good to me
Beneath my window
a mournful train
that makes me smile at my bad poetry
Beneath my surface
a song is rising
It may be simple
while it hides its true intent
We may be looking for our deliverance
but it has already been sent
It's in the night fall when the light falls
And what you've seen isn't there anymore
It's in our blind trust that love will find us
Just like it has before
They're sending soldiers to distant places
X's and O's on someone's drawing board
Like green and plastic but with human faces
And they want to tell you it's a merciful sword
But with all the blood newly dried in the desert
Can we not fertilize the land with something else
There is no nation by god exempted
Lay down your weapons
and love your neighbor as yourself
In the night fall when the light falls
And what you've seen isn't there anymore
It's through our blind trust that love will find us
Just like it has before."


"Our Deliverance" by The Indigo Girls.

I have the biggest urge to stand around a piano with a glass of wine and sing.

Make it happen, please?

"Always a bridesmaid..." already a bride :)

One of my best and favoritest of friends is getting married next Sept. And has given me the honor to be one of her bridesmaids.
Last Thurs (i think) they all go together and went to Davids Bridal in GA to help Mere pick out her wedding dress and to try on bridal party dresses...
I sooooo wish I had been able to go with them, but since I live in another state I went to our own Davids Bridal down here and tried on the prospects myself.

The whole day we were exchanging pic msgs (none of the bride will be shared...yet) so i felt like showing off my two sizes smaller (then my wedding gown) choices.

Her color is "Fern" and there are 3 dresses in this Cotton Sateen fabric. I only tried on these two, and will probably go with the strapped one.

As i type that i am eating 2 blueberry muffins....
Really working hard on the whole "more motivation" thing... bleck!

Get my act together

I've been stuck at the same weight for 2 months. Now at first I was still really trying, but these days I'm slacking off hardcore!

ahhh!
I know I have 40 more lbs.
I freak out when I see the same numbers day after day, yet I still eat a cookie with lunch or pick to take a nap over Zumba!


I need that hardcore determination back pronto.

HELP!

the cheapest way to get to heaven... marry a magician.

Baby,
It's been a long day, baby
Things ain't been going my way
And now i need you here
To clear my mind all the time.

And baby...
The way you move me, it's crazy
It's like you see right through me ... And make it easier.

Believe me, you don't even have to try

Oh, because you are the best thing...
You are the best thing...

You are the best thing... that's ever happened to me.

Baby,
We've come a long way!
And baby...
You know... i hope and i pray that you believe me
When i say this love will never fade away.

Oh, because

You are the best thing...
You are the best thing...
You are the best thing
that's
Ever happened to me

Both of us had no love before
(to come on promising like a spring to walk on out the door)?
Our words are strong and our hearts are kind

Let me tell you just exactly what's on my mind.

You are the best thing
You are the best thing
(you're the best thing, baby)

You are the best thing (that) ever happened to me

Attempt # 3

This is coming from someone who used to use her blog on Myspace quite frequently.
I thought I would try Blogger out because its integrated in my gmail (and Droid) supposedly making it easier to post and be active...

Or, Im just following Marissa around. :)


I have been thinking and reviewing my pictures a lot lately and have be mulling this over.

Things I want to do over:

Wedding pictures
"Chicago"
