Twelve Week Ultrasound

Monday morning was probably the worst morning I have ever had. I hardly slept the night before. - If you haven't already and would like to here is the link to my direct miscarriage story last year.Now once you read that you'll understand exactly where I am coming from or you may have done through this yourself.

Anyway, as I was saying I was extremely nervous, my aniexty was in full force and I was just wanting to get the ultrasound over with.  We arrived at the hospital for our appointment (DH came with) and we checked in. Once checked in you're asked to wait in the waiting room with other VERY pregnant women and in my head I was thinking, oh how I wish I didn't have to worry about anything and I want to just get there and be that big and out of breath and be able to feel my baby move. I couldn't talk to anyone, I couldn't think. It was an insane feeling for me. I have never been this way in any pregnancy but since my losses it has been hard. It felt like I was in a bad dream and it was never going to end.

We waited for a good hour before the one tech called me in and she wasn't like the last tech I had for my first ultrasound at the hospital. She was professional and kinda rude - Rant: which honestly I don't understand. If you're going to work with people who are pregnant and you're going to be in kinda personal space then i think you should be somewhat of a professional but also a people person. There is no reason be rude. End of Rant - she told me to lay on the bed and put my end at the very top and lay still so, I did just that. She told me to relax and i told her that all I wanted to know was if there was a heartbeat or not. She said how come and I said that I had a miscarriage last year at 12 weeks and just was going nuts. She started ultrasound and the only thing she said to me was you have a jumping bean with a great heartbeat.

The feeling of relief is unreal. I don't even know how to explain the feeling that came over me in the moment. My emotions were all over the place, I felt like I could just cry tears of joy in that moment but I also wanted to scream with happiness and thank the lord for allowing me to carry a child again.

Anyway the appointment went. Doctor said that everything is great. Baby has no sign of down syndrome at this point and I go back for my next appointment on September 21st.

I announced out pregnancy to Facebook world yesterday and I was overly excited to share the news. I know that this will have a great outcome and I am so very thankful for this baby.

Scentsy World Tour - Toronto

Feb. 5th-7th

This weekend is our World Tour and I am so excited. I have never been to anything Scentsy so the fact that my husband and I are able to go is amazing. We left the girls with my parents and we stayed the at Sheraton Centre Toronto -again- from Friday Evening to Sunday Morning. I love every minute of it except the part my husband decided to leave and go back to the room -but I'll get in to that shortly-.

So, we arrived Friday Evening and we met so many Scentsy Consultants from other Teams and different parts of Ontario. We also, decided to hit up the Disney Store, as our youngest had ben asking for Big Mac from Disney Cars for the longest time and we wanted to see if he was still there from our last visit. Unfortunately, the one we saw just before Christmas was a Christmas Special and sold out, but they did have a smaller Big Mac that we were able to pick up for a lot cheaper. All we knew is that she was going to go nuts -If you're wondering, no we did not pick up anything for the older too and heres our reasoning, the older two are currently in school, they get to go places and do things at this point our youngest can't do being at home. I mean I do take her occasionally bowling and to play places but most of the time we stay home, considering it's winter and the second we go outside she gets sick. Anyway, we do however spoil our each child when we get the chance and when we have the extra money and every time we go to the Dollarstore, my kids favourite place-.

After we finished there we came back to the Hotel and went for a swim, my husband favourite thing to do at a Hotel, I on the other hand love the Hot Tub! Once we had enough of swimming we went back upstairs and went for dinner with a few consultants from my Team. It was nice being able to meet them have a conversation with them. Before we went back to our room, we got word that the owners of Scentsy had appeared and were in the check-in area taking pictures and doing a meet and greet. Of course we all took off and went and got pictures done!! 😂
After that we just hit the sack and went to bed.


WORLD TOUR DAY!! 


5:30am comes early especially when you have to stand in line for an hour waiting for the check-in to open but the Hotel delivered the most delicious breakfast and tea, which was fuel for the next 5 hours. I didn't know what to expect. When you sign up, you pay for your attendance and you also pay for a kit that is put together with all the New items that are coming out for the Spring/Summer collection. You can also add a Tools to Go Kit which has Catalogs, Product Lists and so much more to help you with your business. The guest -my husband- for coming gets a 3 pack of Brand New bars, which by the way smelt fantastic! After checking in they have a table that is all set up with all the New warmers and diffusers for the Spring/Summer 2016 Collection. Let me tell everything was beautifully created and made. The scents smelt amazing and fresh. Once we got into the area with the stage and it started it was fun. We listen to some guest speakers and had 4 scheduled breakout sessions which were training sessions and all of them were very informative and useful and there were things that I learnt that I didn't even know. When we went back for the last half they pulled tickets -that we each got once we checked in- and we won gifts, well not everyone but some people. The best thing about them coming to Canada is they can not take stock back to the states with them so they give it away! We had a blast!

So here's what happen with my husband.

We checked-in and he took off because his phone rang, he basically stayed in the Hotel room the whole time I had my Scentsy thing and it was because he didn't feel included because I was meeting and talking to everyone on my Team that was there and making new relationships and for him, he didn't feel comfortable. I don't understand it, he never really explained but I guess he just has his own way of dealing with things. Everything was alright though. We went to dinner together and a great night together and then we went home the next day and ended our weekend off on a good note. Definitely something I am looking forward too for next year. I am excited!! :D
