Baby Update

We went to the doctor today for a check up. It was the first time that Lyle got to hear the baby's heartbeat-so awesome! AND we find out what we are having in four weeks...five days before Christmas...what a great gift. The other great news is that I have only gained 3 lbs so far! I was so happy to hear that since I feel like I've gained so much even though I've been trying to eat healthy, but honestly I haven't. Pretty cool!
So at this point, I am 14 1/2 weeks and I actually feel really good! I just got over a few sicknesses and finally feel like I can go back to life and enjoy being pregnant.
I'm still searching for maternity clothes...I'm down to two pairs of not so nice pants and just tshirts so my wonderful parents are coming down and we are going maternity shopping. I have a little belly but not enough for people to notice that i am prego...I see and feel the difference.
The weeks seem to fly by especially with the holidays coming and work soon to be over and then seeing family soon after.
Lyle and I are just so happy!! Can't wait for May to be here so we can meet our sweet baby!

Floral arrangements part 2

I have been taking these pictures on my phone and I finally got around to moving them over...here are some arrangements that I have been proud of:


Request for a baby girl arrangement


Request for bright colors






Request for a spring arrangement with yellows and whites






Request for arrangement with 1/2 dozen pink roses with yellow lilies and white carns




Request for arrangement of red, white and blue (vase) for a returning soldier


Request for a Halloween arrangement


(Fall)


(Fall)




(Summer)


Request for a fall arrangement along with the next arrangement



As you can tell, I do my best in the most pricier arrangments and in vases. I can do the smaller and basket ones but I really enjoy the bigger and pricier. My boss had no idea that I could actually do these...she's only around for 20min and then I cover the afternoon shift just myself...she never sees my work unless it goes in the cooler. The other day she was in working on a wedding and I did an arrangement she thought I would have problem with and I didn't and she was surprised. HA! Take that!
Anyway, the onle that have writing under them are the ones that I had a special request from the customer and the others are the free of choice arrangements. I sure am proud of all of them and wish my boss would be willing to teach me more. I truely enjoy floral design.
