First Wedding Registry

David and I decided we where going to start registering this weekend. We went ahead and registered at Dillard's. We had so much fun looking for stuff. David also put some silly stuff on the registry. He must of done it while my back was turned LOL. ie he asked for a cotton candy machine and an old fashioned popcorn maker. LOL Will be interesting to see if we get one HA!

We found lots of stuff we loved. How could we not, we were at Dillard's. :) We picked out our china, stem ware, and silverware. I was almost over whelmed at how much they put into making sure you pick the right set. The set a table setting for us plates, glasses, and silverware so we could decide.

We will probably go register at Target and Bed Bath & Beyond this upcoming weekend if we have time. We have a pretty busy weekend. We are meeting with our photographer and David has football practice. Mom wants me to come over on Sat and go through Christmas decorations and pick out what I want. (David is gonna love that). Hopefully we can squeeze in at least one registry.

First Fill & it HURT

Well so I finally had my first fill. It was different..and it HURT!

First off my Dr's office left me sitting in the waiting room for an hour and 15 mins because someone forgot to pull my chart. I guess I should of said something sooner but everyone else had been sitting in the waiting area longer then I so I just figured my Dr was running late.

I gained 6lbs of the 12lbs I lost back. I hate that but the Dr assured me that it is completely normal and to not sweat it. She started off by pushing all over my stomach trying to find my port (it is attached to my abdominal muscle with stitches). This is what hurt so freaking bad. She had me coming off the table with pain. I'm still really sore from the surgery. It was not fun.

She found it so now it's time for the needles. Did I mention I HATE needles. I asked for some numbing medicine...I really didn't want to feel this huge needle in my abdomen. She stuck the needle in and had a hard time finding the port. She must of stuck me 7 different times and kept readjusting the needle. Thank goodness I couldn't feel any of it. She finally decided that she needed a longer needle. She moved from a 4 inch to an 8 inch needle. She hit the port very first try. She stuck it straight into it.

She filled me up 2cc's and put me on liquids for 3 days. I have lost 4lbs since the fill so I guess something is right. I still can eat bread (everyone says you can't once you hit that sweet spot) and I am still hungry in between meals. I am going back from another fill on the 12th but I think I am going to push it up since I do not have much restriction if any still. The good news is the scale is going back down now though! :)

Final pictures of the new place

Here are the last few pics of the new place. I apologize for the blurry yellow pics..don't know what was up with my camera.

First Pictures of the New Apartment

I promised I would post some pics of the apartment...so hear ya go. I will post more of the bedrooms once we get all my dad's stuff out of the guest room. He is still bring stuff over daily.
I still need to hang up the pictures in our bedroom. As soon as I do that I will post those as well.

This is our front door. You walk directly into the kitchen. Off to the right when you walk in is our pantry and washer and dryer.

This is looking at the kitchen from the living room. It's small but we really like it.

This is our game room (should be our dining room LOL) This is our living room. The door in the picture is the door to the Master bedroom.

This is the other side of our living room The hally way where the other 2 bedrooms are. Door straight ahead is my Dad's room. Door to the left is the kid's room. Door on the right is the bathroom.

David's (guest) bathroom. My mother gave him a set of UT towels for Christmas. He begged and begged to decorate the guest bath in The University of Texas. I gave in. It's not my favorite...but it is growing on me I guess.

I will post pics of the bedrooms as soon we get my dad all settled in.

A New Year

Man has it been a busy couple of weeks. Not only did we have the holidays, David and I had to move the day after Christmas. The holiday's were great. David and I really enjoyed spending lots of time with the family. We sure did miss spending time with the kids though. We will get to see them in March and plan on having a full blown out Christmas for them though.

Poor David ended up moving us. What a strong man he is. It took him about 8 hours but we were in. I spent the rest of the weekend getting us unpacked and the apartment livable. I can not tell you how much I hate living out of boxes. I am proud of myself though because by Sunday afternoon everything was done. I will take some pictures and post them up. I really love this new place.

We moved in my Dad yesterday. He will be staying with us for some time. Poor David...he did all of that too. What a trooper of a fiance I have. I couldn't of asked for a better man.

David has started his 1200 calorie diet today. He is wanting to lose about 50lbs by the wedding. I know he can do it. I on the other hand have stalled in losing weight. I am so ready for my first fill. I need to fill that restriction. Hopefully the first fill they can put in lots of saline so I can have that restriction.

We officially started the countdown to the wedding. We officially have 6 months and 29 days. David woke me up the other night to talk about invitations. I was tickled...he hasn't been involved too much. I wish he hadn't woken me up at midnight to talk about it but was still tickled. He has brought up the wedding at least once everyday the past couple of days. I am glad he wants to be more involved with everything.

We are going to sign our catering contract this weekend. I am so nervous about doing it since it is the most costly thing about our wedding so far. Then I guess we will be registering within the next month or so. I know it is going to fly by. I am so ready for it though.

We are attending a wedding tomorrow afternoon for one of my oldest friends. He is getting married in Belton. His future wife is so precious. I couldn't of picked a better mate for him. Well I guess I need to log off of here and get dinner started for David and Dad.

Hope everyone has a great new year!
