Dr.'s Appointment

So I had my OB check up today, didn't go very well because I got in trouble by him. First off, I lost another 5 lbs. which would be great in any other situation, but since I lost 10 lbs from when I found out I was pregnant to my 8 week check up, another 5 wasn't so good. He told me that I HAVE to start taking in 2400 calories a day to give my baby what it needs. It's so hard for me to eat, as all you pregnant women know about your first trimester. Also, my thyroid has been overactive, which could be a big part of losing weight, and I haven't been consistant with my Synthroid and prenatals because my life has been comsumed with Great Life lately. I know, bad excuse, I should be doing my best to take care of my baby. So I am now because I want to have a good healthy baby and I don't want to be lectured from my doctor again. He had me do blood work again to see where my thyroid level is at, because having thyroid problems can cause many things to be wrong with the baby including mental retardation. So my main focus now is to put my baby and his needs first. The doctor said that I only have 6 more weeks before I get my ultrasound, then we can make sure that everything is attached properly, as per my surgery I had in December, it can cause something to not attach to something else. Sorry, I don't know all the technical terms. That is how I understand things. Anyway, So next appt will be nothing but good news. Love you all.

My Great Life Part 2

Here is my same group as Part 1, this first picture is my personal buddy. She is wonderful and strong and has helped me grow and has inspired me in so many ways. I LOVE YOU LORI!!!

These men are in my extended group of 4 and we spend alot of time together and learned alot about eachother. Love you guys!! All my other Buddies!! We're all looking Hot, getting ready for Part 2 Graduation

Every single one of these people in my group mean the world to me. I have experienced a life changing training with them and they all hold a very dear place in my heart. You guys are the best.

Great Life Part 1

I know most of you are wondering what happened to Teresa, did she drop off the planet, has she become a recluse, or do I even have a computer anymore..... Well the answer is, I have been attending a program called "The Great Life Foundation" to help better myself and learn to love myself again. http://www.thegreatlifefoundation.com/. I know some of you may be skeptical, but until you are able to experience this for yourself, you will never understand the joy and peace that I know feel because of the experiences I went through. There isn't enough words to describe to you how I now feel and how excited I am to wake up every morning because I know that I am so excited to live life to the fullest and to create many happy memories for me, my husband, and my children. I AM living the great life!! Here are some pictures from Part one.

My Buddies!!!!!!!

My Awesome Angels!!! Luv you guys! Thank you for seeing in me, what I didn't see in myself!!My Part 1 Graduation

Ya, we got a little crazy and did the "Macarena"

There was no way David was sitting this one out.

My HOT husband, and behind him is Ryan, David's friend, who is another one of my Angels.

Best Friends!!! Nuff Said

Google It!! - I've been tagged

Maren tagged me with a kind of different tag, and once I started, I found it to be fun and interesting. You google in your answer for each topic. Pick the picture you like the best off the first 3 pages. I found it was somuch easier if you clicked on images so it'd bring up a bunch of pictures instead of websites. So here are mine.

1. Your First Name

Teresa - When I met Darin, he had a huge painting of Mother Teresa and at first I wasn't too fond of it, but then he told me his cousin drew it with lead art (who recently committed suicide). The painting is down in our room and she has grown on me, so when I saw this one with her holding a baby, it was definatly my favorite.

2. Your middle name

LaRae. Nothing but a bunch of pictures of people came up so I chose this one cuz it wasn't some person named LaRae. Not very intersting.

3. Your Last Name

Jolley. Again, not a very intersting picture, but it was the best I could come up with.

4. Your Bad Habit

Smoking. I know what your all thinking, discusting, your pregnant, what about your health. Believe me, I want to quit more then any one of you want me to. I'm going through a program thing that is for something else but your not allowed to smoke the whole time because it is a negative effect. So my quit date is set for Wed. Sept. 10. There it's on my blog so you can all hold me to it. I will do it!!!! AGAIN

5. What are you doing right now?

Well besides blogging, I'm listening to Go, Deigo, Go. Parents, don't you get sick of having to listen to these cartoons all day, especially cuz usually we're not even watching them, it's just the annoying background sound I always hear.

6. Your Grandma's name

Tessie. Another one where all that comes up is pictures of people named Tessie, but I love animals and I couldn't resist picking this darling lil puppy.

7. A Past Pet

Guniea Pig. We were given two guniea pig to watch for a week and they asked if we wanted to keep them instead, so Darin the animal lover said yes. That made it 5 animals we had (7 if we were keeping rats for our snake). Anyway, within a week one had died. It was sad but then a week ago, we found the other one dead. It made me feel better to know that a guinea pigs life expectancy isn't that long. Farwell my piggy friends.

8. Your First Job

BJ's Gas Station. I worked in the drive thru. It was pretty fun and exciting cuz usually when your 16 you can't work at gas stations.

9. Your Age

28. I could have done an interstate sign like the others, but since I'm pregnant I thought this one was cute. Apparently this girl is 28 weeks along.

10. Where you grew up

Well, it's just easier to say the Western Region, I've lived in Almost all those states.

11. A Past love

Justin Dick. He was my first puppy love boyfriend and when I typed that in, of course all that came up, was when Justin Timberlake sang Di** in a box. I know this is G rated, but I couldn't resist. I had to.

12. Your Best Friends Nickname

May. I've always called her that, not sure why. So here is a pretty picture that was taken in May. :) Love you sis.

13. One of my Favorite Places to be.

With family. We all know our family has it's disfunctions. So I thought Family Guy was a good description for our family.

14. If I went back to school, I would become:

A social Worker for troubled teens. I think it would be really rewarding and I seem to connect better with kids then adults. (Maybe cuz I still act like a kid)

15. A Place I would love to visit.

Hawaii. I know it sounds boring, and there are more interesting places in the world, but I've just always wanted to go, and someday soon my sweet hubby will take me.

16. Favorite Color

Purple and hot pink. I've always loved purple, but recently I really like hot pink too.

17. Favorite Food

Cafe Rio Chicken Salad. Ever since the first time we went there, I have been hooked. There are other places that try to mimick it (Costa Vida, Chipolte) and there good, just not as good.

So there you have it, I know you didn't need an explanation for every answer but I gave you one anyway. This really was fun when you have a hour to devote to googling.

I Tag: My friend and cousin Cindi H., My other friend Cyndi N., Rachel Beall and whoever else feels like doing it. It's fun.
