Moved

I have moved blogging over to beingthelaws.wordpress.com.

Come check it out

New position!

I have just found out that I have been chosen to do a rotation as a Senior Specialist at my job! This means I will be going to the next position up for at least 90 days. I am going to get opportunities to train, teach, and coach which will give me a good boost into a full time training position or a manager position. So exciting!

We have Cora's crib all put together and we are just waiting on a mattress. We have letters to go above her crib and I can't wait to get her room more put together. I will post pictures when it is finished!

It's a GIRL!

We had our 20 week anatomy ultrasound this week and found out we are having a girl! She is very healthy and still on schedule for delivery on November 2nd. Her name will be Cora. We don't have a middle name yet but we are certain on Cora. We can't wait to meet her! Now...how do I avoid everyone buying pink! Lets think purple, green, yellow, orange....anything but pink! I know I can't get away from all things pink but I am going to try my hardest!

Expecting!

We found out shortly after my brother-in-law's wedding that we are expecting our first little one in November!

Here is Baby Law at 8 weeks.

Here is Baby Law at 12 weeks.

Everything has gone smoothly so far. I haven't been too sick. I have had enough days of pure exhaustion and plenty of nausea but I haven't been that sick.

We did move last week and are settling in. We just moved into a 2 bedroom place so we will actually have room the Baby when he/she comes!

Pictures from the Wedding Weekend

Wedding went off great! Here is a picture of me and the awesome best man (my husband) and the rest are just a few taken here and there!

Working Out/Cleansing

I have really started working out again and it feels so great! I have been using RunKeeper and DailyMile to keep track of my work out so if you happen to use either, look me up. We also are currently doing a quick cleanse to really start watching our gluten intake. Being gluten free has made such a difference for both of us.

Schedule change is coming up tomorrow. I will starting a 4x10 shift instead of the normal 5x8. I will work Saturday and Monday-Wednesday 8-7. I thought it was time to give it try. I hope that I don't regret it!

We have my Brother-in-Law's wedding this next weekend and hopefully I will have some photos to post from that!

Gluten Free

I have gone gluten free! Celiac disease is why most people go gluten free. Celiac disease is a malabsorption issue, but is most off called a wheat allergy. It is definitely more than just a wheat allergy. You can look on the web and find a ton of different symptoms, in fact onewebsite I was stated that there were over 250 symptoms of have Celiac which is why most people don't even know that they have it.

I have not been diagnosed with having it but I could relate to a lot of the symptoms, one which is numbness is hands and feet. I have struggled with my feet going to sleep on and off for about 5 years. I have been gluten free since the beginning of the year with a few "cheat" days that I regretted after a few hours. I feel so different, and I mean that as in AWESOME, when I am eating gluten free.

I could see how even a few years ago it would have been very difficult to eat gluten free. I think that going gluten free is much easier since living in Austin. Having a different diet or a special needs diet here is no surprise and there are many places that cater to them.

This has been a lifesaver for use! We have also found that Betty Crocker also has gluten free brownie and cookies mixes that have been awesome. We have tried so many different items trying to keep our options open, so we have had some good and we have had some bad. I am still looking for a good hamburger bun though! Overall though going gluten free hasn't been bad.

I am hoping to update here with any great recipes or websites that I come across.
