So i know it's been awhile since i have blogged. I decided i wasn't going to do it on the weekends, and i have had a lot going on the past couple of days. 

Sunday was Mother's day, and i got a wonderful breakfast made for me, complete with bacon, eggs, toast, and hashbrowns. It was so delicious! Then my hubby surprised me with my present, it was a beautiful hand made candle. It means a lot to us too because while we were dating in high school he bought a similar one for me when he went to hawaii with his family. It was much smaller but it was still pretty :) here it is

Ami wanted to pose in front of it lol. It's my favorite color and it's got pretty little bows on it :)

To continue with the day, we decided to spend a day at the zoo. It was so much fun. I love spending time with my family, especially seeing ami get so excited about the simplest things.

When we first got there, there were peacocks just walking around, and i thought that was odd. There was no trainer or anything walking with them, they were just roaming free. So we got a picture :)

Shortly after this was taken, the peacock started walking towards corey and shaking his feathers lol. 

We also got to feed the birds. They gave us sticks with this food substance on it, and we had to hold out our hand and the birds come and eat it. It scared ami at first, so i had to hold it for her. It was pretty cool until two birds started fighting on our stick haha

All in all it was a great day, not too hot and not raining either, just right. 

Now on to a serious note. I have been having some really bad back pain in my lower back, and yesterday it was to the point where i could walk, or sit down, and i couldn't even pick ami up. I was stuck on the couch with a heating pad, crying (that could be the hormones) because i didn't know what was wrong and why i was in so much pain this early in my pregnancy. (this is part of the reason i haven't blogged in a few days) So i went into the urgent care at the ob clinic (right before they were closing). She asked me a bunch of questions, and kind of got me worried. The questions she was asking made it seem like i could be mis-carrying, and of course i freaked out. I had to get a blood test and urine test done, and come back today. My numbers are very good in my blood work, and my urine came back great. So lastly they had to do an ultrasound to make sure everything matched up (the due date and the baby's measurements). Here is our little peanut :)

It's pretty much just a little ball with a heartbeat :) According to this she said the baby is measuring a little smaller than my original due date. So i am now due on Jan. 5th. Of course this could change many times throughout the pregnancy (we all know ami was 4 days late). Either way i'm beyond happy that everything is ok, and the little baby is fine. I can't wait to go home to cali in a few days to see everyone, i just hope i don't get sick on the plane! lol

BTW did anyone see glee last night? amazing! :)
