hamburgers for breakfast

Well, today marks the beginning of week 7! I can't believe it! So far things have still gone pretty easy for me! I haven't thrown up yet, I've been a little nauseous, but no making friends with the toilet so far! I guess that's a good thing, right? I have woken up during the night a couple times with an upset tummy, but a little whining to Brandon and some hot water with lemon has seemed to do the trick for now!
So far I have been craving hamburgers and french fries! The other day I had a hamburger on the way to work at 10am! Thank goodness for places like Sonic that serve everything, breakfast/lunch/dinner, at all hours of the day!
Tomorrow we have our first ultrasound! I can't wait! I know it will probably just be a little spot, but that's ok, it's OUR little spot ;) We get to bring a dvd to make a copy of the tape, I think that is such a cool feature! Thank you technology! My first doctor's appointment is on Wednesday and I'm very excited for that too, I'll get an official due date from my doctor!
Well, I just wanted to give a little update tonight, I'll post tomorrow and let everyone know how the ultrasound went! Until later...

A little plus sign....

So I have some news! Brandon and I have been trying for a baby for about the last 2 months and last Thursday afternoon we were blessed with a positive test! I followed up with my ob/gyn and received good blood results back yesterday! I haven't had this confirmed with the doctor yet, but according to the due date calculator I'm about 6 weeks along now and there will be a new little Hicok in mid-late September! The family is going nuts! We are very excited and continually thank God for our new little gift! I am doing well, just a tired and the tummy is a little upset, but I actually haven't thrown up yet! Luckily, neither has Brandon, haha! He has done very well, so cute and giddy! On Saturday night we went to church and I held my friend's baby, Riley, and Brandon played with him and held his little hand, it made me all mushy inside! ;) I got my first gift yesterday, from a client, can you believe it?! She was very sweet, she bought me a little Christmas outfit which will be the perfect size when it hits that time next year! I have had such the urge to rush out and buy things but I guess it's kind of impossible to shop (for the fun stuff I mean) without knowing the sex of the baby yet, so I have withheld! I just can't believe there's a little tadpole growing inside me! We call him/her our little orange seed, because that's about how big he/she is right now, I think that name and tadpole will stick for some reason. ;) Anyway, I will try to keep this blog going for out-of towners and anyone else who feels like reading it that way you can all keep up with baby news! Well, that's all for now!

So we finally received the closing date for our house yesterday! October 30th our house will be complete and we will have keys! Very exciting! I've decided to try and figure out this whole blog thing, so we'll see if I can get some pictures posted on here, they're a little post dated, but I have packed the picture upload thing (USB port...I think) to put the newer pictures of the house up, but hey, atleast it's something, right? We are very excited to start the next chapter of our lives and can't wait to fill our house will stuff and maybe even a baby or two! :) Until later...

Well, I'm putting off getting ready for work by writing this, but who cares. I dunno if I've ever written on here, so I guess it's time to start! Work was really slow this last week and is making me dread going in today to start the next week. Anyone else feel the same? :( Hopefully my efforts to draw people in (which I have been faithfully doing since last month!) will soon prove effective! I don't know how much more simple I can make it to get people to come get there hair done! I am going to start working at our Mesa location one day a week starting Tuesday Sept 1st, so that should be a new fun adventure, Mesa girls, Here I Come!

Our house is going up like a rocket! They should be dry-walling this week or atleast soon! I can't believe, it's just so real, right there in front of you! Kind of scary, but exciting too! I can't wait to decorate and fill it with warm and love...and maybe babies eventually! ;) If I can figure this thing out, maybe I'll post some pictures!

Anyway, that's pretty much all I have to say! Good-bye!

This place is confusing! Luckily, Maren has given me a few pointers. Still weird though. Ugh, I'm waiting for Brandon to get home, we're going to my parents house to hang out with my dad cause he's all alone for the rest of the week while my mom and brothers are away. I went to fresh and easy, I love that place! It's so cute! It's so like pro-healthy, pro-organic, pro-FUN! Haha.
Hallelujah my dog has started to understand potty training! She's holding it longer, but she still hasn't figured it out that she can just stand by the door when she needs to go out. Hopefully that comes soon. But at least most of the stress is going down. I thought I was going to lose my mind. Having a puppy is a way harder job than I thought. Stupid me.
Well, I spoke to soon as I was typing what a well behaved dog Lilly is becoming she was peeing on the floor. Ugh. Well, in her defense it's about her stopping point as far as holding it goes, but still. ggrrrr.....

My First Blog

Well, Maren, I copied you. Now you have one more person you can talk to on here. Also, I went to Pandora.com that place is awesome! Thanks for the tip! Anyway, today is my day off so I'll be cleaning. Woot. I'm going to try a new crock pot recipe tonight so hopefully I don't screw that up! Haha. I haven't gotten very brave in the kitchen so far; but Brandon isn't a very brave eater so it works. Okay, well I guess this is all I have to say this morning. Peace out.
