12 Weeks
So yesterday Jonathan and I went to our 12 week appt. in Rosenberg at 3:45. They didn't have any openings in Wharton so that is why we had to travel to Rosenberg. It was nice faculty and everyone was really friendly. We didn't do much at this appt. All my blood levels looked fine and nothing was out of whack. We got to listen to the baby's heartbeat again and it was a strong, steady heartbeat! I love hearing that loud beating heart! Makes me smile every time!! :) The doc asked us a few questions and then we got to ask a few questions of concern. My main concern was my tailbone. I sit down quite a bit at work but try to get up and move around every once in a while. We also go walking every evening so I can get some exercise done too. But my tailbone hurts me a LOT! Especially when I sit for a long time but also when I move too fast. He said that it is normal and some people have it worse than others. He said that I should use a memory foam pillow to sit on and that should help with the pain. Other than that everything was good and it was a pretty fast appt. Oh, I also got my flu shot and whooping cough shot as well, one in each arm. They are both pretty sore today!! Afterwards we looked around at JCP and Home Depot until about 6 and then went an ate at the famous Gringos! It was so delicious!! I love that place! We both got our favorites. Mine is the Seafood Enchildas and Jonathan is the San Antonio Burrito. We both got so full and ate way too much! Our next appt. is in 4 weeks and I can't wait! Hopefully we will get to have an ultrasound and see our little munchkin!

Baby on Board
Surprise! We are expecting, July 4th! Apparently we had too much fun on our honeymoon! I originally wanted to wait a while before we had children but that wasn't in Gods plan for us. When we got back from our honeymoon everything was fine. Life went on and everything went back to normal for us. Work, school, and kids. About a week before I missed my period I woke up with a sore throat and my body ached! I was telling a friend and she said, "You better take a pregnancy test!" No way! I couldn't be! She said she felt that way right before she found out she was pregnant. I faced my fears and took the test. Negative. Whew! No big deal, I went to the doctor the next morning and he said I had a viral infection prescribed me a Z-pac and sent me on my way. I took the antibiotics and felt better within a few days. But I still didn't feel myself, not really bad, just different. I should have started on Monday but nothing. I really didn't think too much about it since I had recently taken a test and it showed negative. Saturday morning, Oct. 27th I woke up and just knew something wasn't right. I just felt different but couldn't place my finger on what though. It kept bothering me that maybe indeed I was pregnant. I decided to go ahead and just take a test again just to put my mind at ease. Before I could even flush the toilet 2 pink lines appeared! I was in total shock! Every thought went through my mind, excited, scared, happy, nervous, even an Oh Sh**! I didn't know how to react, I was in total surprise! I told Jonathan to go look in the bathroom, that is where I left the pregnancy test laying on the sink. He walked out and said, "Really?!" all I could do was shake my head yes. He was excited and asked if everything was OK? I just shook my head agreeing. He then asked, "Well can I at least have a hug?" LOL! I just hugged him with a blank stare. I was just still in shock! And really in disbelief!
I went to the doctors office and took a blood test that following Wednesday, Oct. 31st to verify we were really pregnant. I called the docs office an hour later and it was confirmed, we are expecting! They set up my 1st appointment for Nov.29th. I called Jonathan and told him the news and the excitement began. Now the only thing left was to decide when to tell our parents, friends, and family. We had originally planned to tell them after our 1st appointment just to make sure everything was OK. But Thanksgiving was right before it and we could tell EVERYONE then all at the same time. We contemplated back and forth on when to tell our parents and then everyone else. Finally, we decided to go ahead and tell everyone on Thanksgiving, except the kids and my parents. Sunday the day before Thanksgiving we went to 7am Mass, had breakfast with my parents afterwards and then went home to change and then head out to my parents house to help them cut up some deer meat. When we got home, I sat the kids down in the living room and handed them a poem to read out loud. It said: "We are thankful for so many things, our toys, our friends and so much more. But one thing we can all be thankful for, just maybe, Mom and Dad are having a baby!" They were all smiles! Rheanna asked, "Where is it going to stay?" I told her we were turning the spare/storage room into the baby's room. She was relieved, she just didn't want to share her room! On the other hand Jacob was more than happy to have the baby where ever. He even offered to share his room! But then had lots of questions like how can I have a baby? I am not fat! LOL! Love that lil' boy! Once all the excitement settled at our house we headed to my parents house. We had the kids read the same poem to them! Mom was a little in shock, kinda like how I was at first, but Dad was really excited!! He gave both of us a huge hug!! Fast forward to Thanksgiving day, I had shirts made for the kids that said Big Sister and Big Brother. So when we went to Thanksgiving this how we would tell them! First I had to make a call to my brother, JC. He had to work Thanksgiving and was stuck on the island off of Rockport. He was thrilled when we told him! I could feel the love on the other end of the phone. He will be the one to spoil this child rotten! We went to 3 different house on Thanksgiving so it made for one eventful day! Everyone was excited for us and we couldn't have been more happy!
Nov. 29th was our 1st appointment. Jonathan took off in the morning and joined me. We had our 1st ultrasound at 9. I was nervous but excited! When we got to see him or her for the 1st time my heart fluttered! Then she let us listen to the heartbeat, I was in awe and even got a little teary eyed. It was neat to see our little one on the screen and I can't wait until next time! Everything went well at the appointments, although this was one long appointment. Finally once I though we were done I was sent to do blood work. It didn't take long so it wasn't bad.
Symptoms I have been feeling:

Symptoms I have been feeling:
- TIRED! I have been really tired! Anytime I would sit or relax for more than 10 minutes I will fall asleep. Although this last week I have gained more energy and aren't feeling soo wore out!
- Hello DD's! Within a months time I had to be re-fitted at Victoria Secret for new bras! I had too make several trips to different department stores too and find a sports bra that would fit and didn't have the razor back. Wearing a bra to bed now is a must! Need the extra support!
- Nausea/Smells: I have gotten nausea a few times but nothing too too bad. I haven't had any morning sickness what so ever and haven't had to urge to vomit at all. On the other hand, there are certain smells that get to me. Stinky dogs like the labs at our house make my stomache turn. Smoke smell is starting to really get to me. Some of our Scentsy smells are a little too strong for me and give me a tummy ache. Not trying to gross anyone out but fart smells get to me the worst. I know they aren't suppose to smell like roses but MAN! Those make me gag the worst!
- No cravings really. Popcorn was a #1 on the list for a while but that has fizzled out now. Still love ranch! Ice Cream is beginning to make its presence known.

Can't believe how fast time flys......
I can't believe how fast time flies! I haven't been on here in a very, very long time! We were so busy with the wedding planning and also buying a new house! It has been quite crazy this year and now it is already coming to a close. :( I will try to catch everyone up to speed but hang on this will be one heck of a post!
These are just some of the before and after pics of the house. We have also done lots of work on the yard as well. Cut back all the trees, moved in some dirt in some low places, cut back in the flowerbeds, etc. We are currently working on the hallway. We have all new doors for bedrooms and bathroom, and now just need to paint hallway and trim. Our next big project will be the 'storage' room which will turn into the baby's room! We love our new home and are so much happier here with our own privacy and LOTS of room to run around! We sit on close to 2 acres of land.
The house took up most of our Summer but it was totally worth it. We did manage to get a break and do some camping down at Yogi Bear Park with my parents. This was the 1st year Jonathan and I have went. The kids went last year with my parents and had a blast! It was a great place with lots of different activities for the kids to enjoy! We will definitely be going back! We didn't make it down to the beach this year but did enjoy frequent trips to ELKS Lodge and to Uncle Billy's pond. It was a fun but FAST summer.
I almost forgot to mention: Wharton County Youth Fair 2012! We couldn't be more happy with the way everything turned out for Rheanna in her 1st year of 4-H. She raised Broilers this past year and did super duper excellent!! She got up every morning at 6:30 fed and watered the chicks and stirred the hauls. She continued this in the evening when she got home from school. There were quit a few times where she didn't want to do it but for the most part she did great. She started to learn more about responsibility and being dedicated even when you don't want too. All her hard work paid off when she won 9th place with her Broilers! She made the Top 10 and got to sale in the Sale of Excellence. I don't think she realized just how much of an accomplishment that is. If she continues to do well every year like this she will have a nice little nest egg saved for her College Fund.
On to our next BIG adventure our Wedding:
We had been planning our wedding for a about a year now. Everything was in order and ready to go. Friday, the day before the wedding, came and all the planning was in full force now. We had lots of help decorating the hall, thanks to a special friend, Virginia. She is a life-saver, she helped pull many of my ideas together and made the hall look spectacular! I couldn't be more happy with the way it all turned out. Then Saturday came, we got up bright and early and headed down to Brittany's Hair Diva to get our hair done, then headed to the church. All I can say about our wedding is WOW! Everyone and everything was beautiful. We had the best group of friends and family surrounding us. My dream had come true and this is a day I will never forget. I married my best friend, my true love, and soul mate. I will let the pictures speak for themselves:
Needless to say we had one heck of a time!!! It flew by too fast though! Like Jacob said, "I wish we could get married every month!" The kids had a blast as well. Thanks to everyone that come. We had so much fun and we are thankful to each and every one of you. You made our wedding a day we will never forget! Much love to all, especially my parents, Mike and Susie Orsak who made all of this possible! Thank you for putting up with all my crazy ideas but also for making all of them come true!
On July 6th 2012 we bought our first home! We have been working towards this goal for quite some time now and eventually got the approval from our mortgage company...FINALLY! We found a cute 3 bedroom home with just the right amount of land to go with it. We are not in city limits but are right on the outside of it. We have great neighbors and many friends that live in the same area. Finally the kids have friends to play with! But before the moving could actually begin we had to CLEAN! It doesn't matter how many times you clean a place I always have to go back and clean it again my way. I guess its just a mental thing. But let me tell you we cleaned every nook and cranny in the house before we moved everything in. I painted both of the kids rooms with a neutral tan color. We replaced the carpet in the living room and also painted the living/dining room. Here are a few pics of the moving process:
