Neutrogena Norwegian Hand Cream

So as being part of BzzAgent, I got accepted into this hand cream campaign.  I got one full size product and also a couple of small sample sizes.

Norwegian Formula^® Hand Cream has been the best weapon in the fight against damaged skin for 40 years. But Norwegian Formula^® has become more than a tool for elements-exposed fishermen — it can extend the life of manicures, too. Applying even small amounts of this hyper concentrated, glycerin-rich cream to hands, nails and lips can undo seasons of damage to weary skin and improve the look and feel of nails. In fact, Neutrogena’s Norwegian Formula^® Hand Cream has proven so effective at repairing and protecting skin that it earned a 2012 Good Housekeeping Seal.

 I started using this as soon as I got it and started seeing and feeling results imdediatly.  What I really love about it, is how soft it makes my hands feel and how it also stays on your hands even after to wash them.  I will definitly be buying this again when I run out.

This is going to be a good year

This past Thursday, on January 17th, I found out that I am pregnant.  I could not believe it.  I am super excited and yet a little scared at the same time.  The sad part of it is though, I am only 5 weeks along and am already in maternity pants.  LOL.  I am just so bloated that my other pants fit, but are tight, so I figure I will just get comfortable now instead of squishing my baby.

I did the Chinese gender predictor and it says we are having a boy.  I honesly don't care right now what I am having, just as long as he or she is healthy.  I was a little nervous though the other day because I was spotting a little bit.  Nothing big, just mostly when I wiped.  No cramping or anything with it which was good.  Everyone was saying that it was normal and not to worry.  I did take a test though that next day, and it was still positive and the line even was darker, so that shows my HCG levels were rising I hope.  I don't get to see the doctor though until Feb 15, when I am 8 weeks along.  It just seems so far away.

I still can't believe it though.  It feels like a dream.  I can not wait to start feeling him move.  I got a long way to go though before that happens.  LOL.

Happy New Year

Well it is now the new year and time for new beginnings.  I decided to try not to focus to much on trying to have a baby and to just go with the flow and have fun in the process.  In the mean time, I am going to really just try to focus on finishing up school already and finally getting my Asscociates degree by the end of this year.  I only have 6 more classes to go.

This month is going to be our 3rd month of trying to have a baby too.  I would love to start the new year off finding out that I am pregnant.  That right there would have 2013 off to a great start.  I will find out at the end of this month but if not that just means we will have to try again next month.

The new year seems to be going pretty good so far though.  I got a new computer for work which is nice.   Now I don't have to wait 30 minutes for it to laod up in the morning.  I also was able to clean my office and get rid of old junk, so now it is ready for the new year.  I am also going to try to be even more productive then I was last year. 

My hubby and I have also come up with a new financial plan that we are going to stick too.  I have to admit that it is hard right now trying to stick to a budget, but it will definitly be worth it in the end.  I just really can't wait to get some of these credit cards paid off already.  It is going to be nice not having them anymore. 

So basically, in the mean time,  I have a lot of things to focus on besides having a baby.  I am really going to just try to keep baby out of my mind and not drive myself crazy every month.  When it happens, it will happen.

Start to a New Year

Well, my husband and I have started talking, and we both agreed to change starting the new year.  He is going to help me out around the house more and I am going to try to keep up with the basic cleaning and laundry around the house.  I have been slipping and I admit it.  I am happy that he has agreed to help me more though to help make it easier.  Last night we both even helped each other clean the bedroom really good and moved the furniture around also.  It looks great. 

As for the baby making, we are really going to start at it big time next month.  We were only able to do it once this month do to things getting in the way so I don't really think this is going to be our month.  You never know though.  I am hoping that it will happen soon though, because I would like to try to have a baby not to far from my friend.  It is always nice to have someone else going through the same thing as you so you can go through it together.

In the meantime though, I am going to use this year to help improve myself, to make me a better person.  I am really going to focus on finishing up my Associates degree by the end of next year.  I am also going to really try to start cooking more homemade dinners too.  Just like what my mom use to make.  I also figured it will be good practice too for when we do eventually have a child. 

I am hoping that this year is going to be a good year.  I think it will.

Unsure

Well last night my husband and I had a huge fight.  It is the times like these that really make me wonder if I want to add a child to the mix.  I would say it has probably been a couple of months, if not more since we last had a argument, but when we do fight, I also start questioning the relationship.  We definitely have more good days then bad though and I know every couple argues.  I think that when he raises his voice though, it just brings back memories of being a kid and listening to my parents arguing all the time before they eventually got a divorce.

As for the baby thing though this is our second month of trying and we have only done it once so far.  I think though that the rest of this month, I am not going to initiate anything else, and lets see if he does.  He knows that I am in my fertile time right now, so lets see.  I think that me pressuring him and giving him this time frame is getting to him too.  He has Low T to begin with and so I am sure the stress of a time frame isn't help at all. 

I guess I will just see what happens this month.

Covergirl Blast Flipstick

Well I am so excited that I got picked to be in this campaign from BzzAgent.com.  I got my kit a couple days ago, and inside was a whole bunch of coupons and also 3 tubes of the Flipstick which really is like getting 6 lipsticks because each one has 2 colors.  Needless to say I was in heaven because I love my lip stuff.  Some girls have there shoes, some have there purses, and I have my lip stuff.

2 lipsticks in 1 BlastFlipstick! Flip your look from day to night, soft to bright, with BlastFlipstick's double-ended lipstick duos. With a creamy shade on one side and a shimmer shade on the other, it's two wearable, blendable, lipcolors in one!

I already tried it out and I have to say that I love it.  Each side has a pretty good amount of stick to it too, so it isn't going to run out that fast.  Plus, the color stays on your lips for a while.  I drank 2 cups of coffee and I still had the shimmery color on my lips.  I can not wait to try blending them and coming up with my own look.  I will definitely be buy this again.

I got my dreaded AF for Thanksgiving

Which means I am not pregnant this month.  It was the first month though of trying, so I kind of expected that AF would show up.  Me and Hubby will just have to try harder this month then.  Maybe a Christmas announcement? 

I did buy preseed though to try for the next time we DTD.  I am also going to not temp this month and just have fun with it.  I noticed that the times I temped, I starting becoming obsessed with thinking I was pregnant, and it just drove my husband crazy and it consumed my thoughts.  What I really just need to do is just relax and just really focus on finishing school and if it happens, then it happens.

I also found out that the more I keep talking about it the more pressure my husband feels and the less likely he is wanting to perform, which really isn't good for trying to make a baby anyway.  So I will just take each day as it comes and see what happens.  I think I am going to start doing the whole temping thing again if a couple months pass and nothing.  I just need to take a break though.
