I have been on Disney overload lately. I am trying to plan our vacation for the first week in July. There is so much out there. Now I have been to Disney like 6 times but Wes has never ever been and I really want him to enjoy himself. It is our two year anniversary trip and the kickoff to us TTC. So yeah I have visited through every Disney website (ok so not every but a lot) and read through two guides thus far. So far we have decided 3 things: 1. We are going June 28- July 3 (Yes the hottest and one of the most crowded times ever but hey we can't change our anniversary and that is the only non training week Wes has during the summer.) 2. We are flying out of Birmingham because it is like almost a 200 dollar airfare difference from Huntsville, and it will still be cheaper to just pay to park our car at the airport. 3. We are staying at the Port Orleans which is a Disney resort. Prices on this trip haven't been as bad as I thought. But it is Disney and this is the one time we will go sans children. We have both agreed that we will take our children one day but not until they are old enough to enjoy it.
In other news I am feeling a bit healthier lately. Not so sluggish as I have been feeling. I am having success so far with Target's prenatal vitamins. I might jump up to the prescription ones when I actually become pregnant though. I also have only been drinking water lately. Occasionally I add the crystal light packets that flavors water just to give it a bit of kick though. I have been having to go to the bathroom a lot more but I figure the water is good for me and hopefully starting to cleanse me out :) Also we are eating healthier and I am only preparing enough for us to have a healthy portion at dinner and then I cook a little extra for Wes' lunch the following day. That saves me as well from having to buy so many frozen dinners to send him. I enjoy eating a sandwich or lean cuisine or smart ones for lunch. I haven't got a clue what I weigh( I don't own a scale) but I probably should buy one so I can see. However it isn't necessarily about the numbers to me. I can tell in other ways. Like I said before I just want to be healthy. Oh and I have started my pilates back up and I have gotten the process started to join TVA's gym (it's free!). They have to run security clearance on me first. But when I get that I am going to go hop on that treadmill and zone out to my Ipod.
No plans this weekend which is nice. I am making turkey wraps with a side salad for dinner tonight. I think I am also going to rent a movie to watch tonight. I still haven't seen "We are Marshall" so maybe that or another good one out there. I hope to clean out some closets this weekend. I don't know if I'll actually succeed at that though lol. I hate doing it but it needs to be done. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Concieve Cushion...What do you think?
So this morning I was waiting on my clothes to finish drying so I could put another load in. I was surfing the internet cause it was seriously like 5:30am. I sometimes go check out the boards at thenest.com and I came across a post about this. Definitely interesting but I would think a regular pillow could accomplish the same thing. What do you think?

**Side Note** No I am not considering getting this I just found it and thought it was interesting**

10 on Tuesday
1. Go see Charlie Wilson' War. Me and Wes saw it last weekend and it was really good.
2. Little Zach turned 1 this weekend.
3. I love Laffy Taffy. I especially love the cheesy jokes and riddles on Laffy Taffy.
4. I am in the middle of reading "The Other Boelyn Girl" Good book. Really puts into perspective how far women have come. I was excited to see when we went to the theater last that they are making this book into a movie.
5. I hate Verizon. Simply hate it. They have ZERO customer service skills!! I want to terminate with them and go to Cingular. Too bad it would cost us like 350 dollars to do that. I don't know if we should do that or just wait it out till September of 2009. Stupid Verizon.
6. I got this really funny picture of Savannah the other day.
7. I was listening to the radio yesterday and an old song I remember from high school came on. "All My Life" by KC and JoJo. I think it was our senior prom lead out song. Anyway it's a good song.
8. I am super excited because I am on an organizational spree. I am organizing everything in our house. I'll post pics as I get something done.
9. Wow I just realized that I was excited so much about organization that I put it on a ten on Tuesday. When did I get old? :)
10. Happy Tuesday to everyone!

Belly Laughs
Okay so last night me and Wes went to Books A Million. We do this a lot when we don't have anything else to do. It's how I read my magazines without buying them...shameful I know. Well last night I was looking in the baby section and I saw the book Belly Laughs by Jenny McCartney. Well I read it standing right there. It was hilarious and extremely matter of fact. She has a catchy way of telling you how it is and making it funny at the same time. I laughed out loud at some of the things she said. Pick it up sometime and read it if you haven't yet. It is an extremely quick read...like I read it in less than 20 minutes...it moves fast. I was going to pick up her Baby Laughs but Wes was ready to go. Maybe next time.

10 Random Thoughts on Friday
1. I love sugarless gum...especially Orbit's Cinnamint. It is what saves me from boredom eating.
2. I am pretty excited that this upcoming Tuesday is the season premier of One Tree Hill. I have missed that show this fall!
3. So I am in search for comforters for both my master bedroom and guest bedroom. I know that I am going with the light blue with chocolate accents in the master. I want a soothing place in there. I have no clue about the guest.
4. I'm also in search for a skinny table to go in my living room. I have a blank wall that needs to be filled with something.
5. I need to grocery shop but I am so not inspired on what to cook. I have looked and nothing really sounds that great to me. I don't want to just go to the store because I end up buying things we don't need that way and spending way more money. Sometimes food just doesn't sound good to me and other times it is all I can think about. Blah!
6. I am actually excited because we have no plans this weekend! None! I feel like we have done nothing but go go go for the past month so I am happy to stay at home and chill this weekend.
7. I got lots of cool stuff for Christmas but so far I think my favorite is the electric tart burner Chris and Susan got me. I have a Yankee candle tart in there right now. My house smells like Cranberry Chutney..YUM!
8. I would like to thank Colleen and Monica for their advice on the previous post. I have a gift card to Barnes and Noble that I have been hording since my birthday and I think I'll use it to buy the Mother of All Pregnancy books. Also I will be checking out those websites.
9.
Here is a video of Macy with her walking baby doll at Christmas.
10. I hope you all have a great weekend!

Oh Baby Baby Baby
So yeah it's official. This is the year that I hope to become pregnant. We have agreed on a July start date. So I have round about 6 months to get mentally prepared for this. Is it okay that I am excited but scared out of my wits? I hope so.
So my first thing I want to do is lose about 15 pounds. Now here is my thing. It's not really what I eat per se...I don't exercise and I have a very slow metabolism. So goal number one? Exercise! Here is my plan. I am joining a gym that is located very close to our house. I am stocking my Ipod with motivational workout songs...any suggestions? I love to walk and run on treadmills so that is one of the things I am going to be doing. 3-4 things a week.
For the toning/strengthening part of my exercise plan I am going to be picking up my pilates. I did pilates a lot back in the college days and it was extremely relaxing and I was a lot more flexible when I was doing it so I figured why not?
Next up on my list of to do's is start a prenatal vitamin. Dr. Spangler said he could prescribe a prescription one for me but I think I am going to try an over the counter one first. Susan told me that the Target brand ones were good for her when she was pregnant with Macy.
The third thing I am going to do is educate myself on anything and everything baby. So I am asking you who have babies, are pregnant, or are trying to recommend books, websites, whatever to me to help me out. I know very little about birthing babies :)
Mainly I want to be healthy and have a healthy pregnancy.
