The fear!

2008-08-27T13:17:00.000-07:00

I have a few fears, and one of them while being pregnant is falling. The unbelievable happened, my fear came true. While registering for the little one I fell. Just walking along when the next thing I know is I'm on the floor. There was a big puddle of water on the ground without cones or any warning sign. My sweet husband helped me up and went to grab the police officer. We filled out an incident report and had to wait and wait for someone from the corporate office to call. After the waiting, the call came, but so did some incredible back pain. Trust me, it wasn't just from being pregnant. After seeing a chiropractor he mentioned I had sprung my back. I'm getting treated now and I have my moments, but he assured me I was going to feel much better and he was going to help make the rest of this pregnancy feel good. Thanks Melo for recommending Dr. Vosti. On a happy note, the little one is good. My doctor told me that as long as he is still moving and I'm not bleeding then I'm good. The little one is still moving and growing...oh and I'm not bleeding!

I know! I know!

2008-08-27T13:14:00.000-07:00

I know, I've been quite the slacker when it comes to updating my blog. Nothing interesting is going on right now. This is just a quick update w/o pictures, which I know isn't as fun! On Aug. 11, me and Jose celebrated our 2nd anniversary. We postponed going out until the weekend, but we did do something fun. We went to look at cribs and registered for the little one at Target.

Extra! Extra!

2008-08-06T09:50:00.000-07:00

I thought I would be able to take a picture of this cute little belly of mine, but it's not easy taking a picture of yourself!! So, you'll just have to wait. I just wanted to share a cute experience that happened Sat. night. My mom told me that when babies are in the womb they are more active at night. So I thought we would see. Every night Jose gives the little one a massage with the famous cream. It's his opportunity to talk to the little one. I could tell he was kicking so I told Jose to talk to the belly. He starts talking and the little one goes crazy. I put Jose's hand where the little one was kicking so when Jose kept talking and the little one would kick I'd ask Jose if he felt him kick. He couldn't. I knew he was kicking, but Jose couldn't feel it. One day though. It was just one of those tender moments of being pregnant that I'm sure most of you can relate. Thanks for letting me share that moment. I'll try and get a picture in.

The latest

2008-07-30T15:47:00.000-07:00

Today we went to see a specialist up at the U. The little one has some fluid around his kidneys and the specialist was going to tell us if it was good or bad. Lucky us we got another ultrasound. It's crazy to see the little one, see his hands and feet and things looks so big, but really his hand is probably only 1 in. It's cool at the same time because it's actually a hand and you can see the fingers, the bones...it's just so cool. The result is; yes, he has fluid around his kidneys, but the severity of it is mild. He has fluid because he's having problems releasing his urine, something is too tight. The doctor related it to a garden hose. You have a garden hose and when you put your finger over the opening all the water doesn't come out, that's what's going on with the little one. It's common, my doctor isn't too concerned, but that doesn't mean they're not going to watch it. All in all, besides the fluid, the little one is strong and healthy, who could ask for more!!!

The seasons of Utah

2008-07-22T10:17:00.000-07:00

I wish I had a picture for this one, but I'm sure you can all use your imagination. Welcome to the seasons of Utah; Winter and Road Construction. I'm driving to the gym this morning and notice the traffic is moving really slow. I see a sign that says ROAD WORK AHEAD. I'm thinking great. I get closer to the light and see the right turning lane is blocked off and there's the lovely NO RIGHT TURN sign, I'm sure we just love seeing those signs!! So while taking a detour I look at the work as I drive by and what do I see? NOTHING. Just the lanes blocked off and NO WORKERS. Doesn't that totally defeat the whole purpose of using the sign ROAD WORK AHEAD if no one is working? That's road construction for ya I guess! I was so tempted to turn right anyway, but I decided to obey the law; it's a good thing too 'cuz on the way home from the gym, the lanes were still blocked off, still NO WORKERS and a truck decided to turn; little did he know that a cop was right behind him to pull him over and give him a ticket. Welcome to road construction in Utah, where there's cones up, lanes blocked, slow traffic, AND NO WORK IS GOING ON!!!

The mystery

2008-07-18T12:24:00.000-07:00

At the end of our hike there's a waterfall and the boys, Russ and Jose found this cave and decided to hike through the waterfall to see how far the cave went. Dad was of course nervous telling them that the air is very dense, but I don't think they went very far. Needless to say, despite finding the mystery within the cave they came out clean and very, very wet!

Apparently, Jose didn't think he was wet enough!

Good Times!

2008-07-18T12:14:00.000-07:00

My grandparents(moms parents) have some property up at Duck Creek, which is past Brian Head. Every august the family goes up and we camp among other things. This was a hike we went on that's very fun. Here is some fancy rock climbing from a few of the gang!

You go mom! Show off those skills!

Birthdays!

2008-07-18T11:59:00.000-07:00

So me and Jose are 2 weeks apart with our birthdays. I'm on the 2nd and he's on the 16th. Well, since Jose doesn't really like surprises, I attempted to surprise him anyway. Last night, the 17th, I had my family over for a dinner to celebrate Jose's birthday. He didn't know what was going on until he looked out the window and saw the parents car! It was time for the presents and besides the fact he knew what I got him just by looking at the bag, this is his ultimate favorite gift.

I feared I would have to go to bed with him looking like this!!
For those who have never seen Nacho Libre, this is Nacho's luchador mask!(Good job Russ!)

Just for Fun!

2008-07-16T09:58:00.000-07:00

Try this out if you need a break, it's just for fun, but I would love to see what people say! Lets see what everyone remembers about me...or if you remember anything at all.
1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember! Nothing too embarrassing please. :) If we're only blogging friends, write about a post that is the most memorable for you.
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments. I can't wait to see what people remember.

The news you've all been waiting for

2008-07-04T11:13:00.000-07:00

The long anticipated wait is over. Yesterday we had the ultrasound of the little one and got a surprise. We are having a boy! We are both so excited. Especially Jose, he can't stop beaming he's excited to have a soccer player in the house!! Here are a couple of pictures, I hope they work out.

It's about time!

Guess Who?

2008-06-30T10:37:00.000-07:00

IF you're guessing this is me, wrong, try again. Give up? Well an alien arrived in the Lonczyna household and partially invaded the Leon clan! Just Kidding. It's my younger sister Christy. When my neice Kianna was really young, Christy had bought these glasses for a birthday party I think. It was just hilarious wearing them because it totally changes the way you look. It's just something fun to do, it's actually quite entertaining! Enjoy!!

This is my Aunt Calleen, she came over from Australia for my Granny's birthday either in 2005 or 2006, can't remember!

BIG NEWS!

2008-06-30T10:33:00.000-07:00

Apparently I don't update my blog enough. I guess to become more familiar with making it perty and interesting I need to spend more time on the computer! I'm just posting this out to anyone and everyone. I just started my home based business with Pampered Chef and I'm way excited about it. So, spread the word if you know of anyone who is interested in ordering, hosting a cooking show or catalog show or if anyone is interested in the business. Let me know.

The ZIP-LINE

2008-06-20T10:55:00.001-07:00

Also at girls camp we got to do a zip line. Being the first ward to do it we had to put the pegs up the pole so we could climb to the platform so we could go down the line. It doesn't look high, but believe me, it is! Here's just a few pictures of some of the girls. It was a blast. I went down the line last year, but the girls had a blast this year.

GIRLS CAMP

2008-06-20T10:47:00.001-07:00

Our Theme for girls camp this year was Attitude of Gratitude. Each ward picked a country and we had to find out how they said thank you in their language and how they celebrate Thanksgiving. Our country was Africa and this is one of our girls who is displaying the head wraps and skirts of Africa. We also had a shirt that says Africa, Asante, which is Swahili for Thank you and our scripture we chose for camp.

The heartbeat

2008-06-19T11:21:00.001-07:00

Again, this is all out of order. We heard the heartbeat of the little one. It was way exciting. It was beating so fast, the nurse said it was like 162. I didn't think a baby's heart could go that fast. The nurse said it would slow down as it gets bigger. I don't know what the size of the little one is now, but on the 4th it was probably about the size of my fist. Can you believe that at that size the little one already has fingers and toes? It's amazing. Me and Jose are both really excited. I know the first thing JOse will buy once we find out the sex...diapers.

P-P-P-P-Panda Feet

2008-06-19T11:16:00.000-07:00

I wish I had a picture to show everyone then everyone would understand and probably get a good laugh out of it! Jose does so maybe later I can post it.
So I'm about 16 weeks now and my feet have already started swelling. They started in May. Well one friday I went over to my parents and my Dad saw my feet and called my feet Panda feet so I'm officially known as Panda feet. No need to panic, the doctor said my blood pressure is good and that nothing is wrong. I'm just one of those people who is going to swell for the rest of my pregnancy!! Joy! Joy! Joy!

The Little One

2008-05-09T09:12:00.000-07:00

I wish I had a picture to show, but maybe later on down the road. Me and Jose are happy to announce that we are expecting. I'm 10 weeks along and my estimated due date is Dec. 8, just in time for Christmas!! We are excited to welcome a little one into our family. Since we don't know what to call it and since we don't know what sex yet we use the term ''the little one."

The beginning

2008-04-07T17:26:00.001-07:00

Hey everyone. I decided that since everyone is doing a blog, I thought I would do one for me and Jose. Personally I think it's better than email!!! So since I'm new it'll take me a while to figure out exactly how to do this. First, for those who don't know anything about what's going on in my life let me do a quick update. I got married Aug. 11, 2006 to a wonderful, sweet and caring man named Jose. By the time we got married we had been dating for 2 1/2 years. A funny story about how we met. It was at the gym. Here's the story: I would go to the gym by myself and one day I saw this guy wearing short shorts, a tank top, a beanie and I'm thinking 'this guy thinks he's all that.' I actually called him the Enrique Inglesias look alike! Well one day I was working my arms and I couldn't pull this bar down 'cuz I was short and him and his friends were there and they asked if I needed help. I said yes then he introduced him and his friends and said if I needed help to just ask. Well I couldn't remember his name so I just said "hey, I need help" after that just went about my work out. Well, either it was the next day or later in the week I was just arriving and he saw me and we started talking. He asked if I wanted to train with him, I said yes, but I wanted to do some cardio then I would meet him by the ab machines. We just talked and talked and that night I asked him out for friday night and we started dating from then on.

The tester

2008-04-07T17:17:00.000-07:00

This is from our wedding reception. I know it's not in order, but it's just a tester to see if I've figured out how to post pictures! You can't see it, but our friend Christine gave us this glass that is shaped like a heart and it splits into two glasses.
