Can you believe it! I POSTED!

Hey everyone!


I hope that the ones that read my blog in the past come and see my update. I might need to send out an email. Unfortunately this one will not have pictures to it because I'm using my Husband's Grandparents computer. I don't see anywhere I can download pictures from my camera. It's an older model. Hopefully Cale will get our computer up and running soon.


So we (Cale, Parker, and I) are currently living with Cale's grandparents in Haltom City, TX. We made the firm decision to move back on the count of our financial state. NJ is so expensive. I had forgotten how much more the cost of living is there. Nothing like living in the south. Cale and I want to get a house in a few years and we won't be able to if we had stayed there. We wouldn't hardly even move out of my parent's house.


Cale got a job at his Mom's company again doing something I'm not sure what. Something with downloads for credit card terminals. But he starts tomorrow and they are paying him pretty good. He is also looking to go back to school and get an undergraduate degree in business. I hope he does. I know it'll be good for us later down the road. He also hopes to open his own business someday (again) doing....I'm not sure what. Do I know my husband or what. I am now looking for an accounting job. I've had two interviews. One with rent-a-car and a financial staffing company. I NEED A JOB. I sound like Jenn.


Parker is doing great. At his 4 month check up he weighted 16.6Ibs and 26in long. He also had to have four more shots. I hate going through that with him. I think it hurts me more then him. I'll be glad when this shot business is over with. If you want to see pictures of Parker go to this web site: http://www.flickr.com/photos/10437936@N05/ . If this doesn't work then you can go to the home page: http://www.flickr.com/ and type hornsbynatasha into the search. If it doesn't pull up anything push the people tab and type it again. Then you can view all my pictures of Parker. I can't believe how fast he is growing and how much I love him.


I hope everyone is doing well. I'll try to keep my blog up but you know how that goes. Like Jenn's Life is busy.

A Few Pictures

Long Time Again I know

Jenn has inspired me to write again since she has. Plus April would probably be coming after me next (again).

I am still pregnant. Parker is still due to arrive April 27th but we just went to the doctors yesterday and she said she thinks I'll go before then. All I can say is please God I hope so. This kid is so very active. I'm surprised he hasn't kicked his way out yet. But everyone says a active baby in the womb is good. I am thankful that I know he's still doing good. I just wish he wouldn't kick me so hard. I have had some Braxton Hicks contracts for the past week. So I've packed my bag and have told Cale to put the car seat in the car just encase. I can't wait to meet him. I'm wondering what he's going to be like and what he'll look like. I hope he takes after his father's great looks.

My Mom is doing well. She is still in chemo but only one treatment from the end. Thanks to all that have been praying for her. The Lord has answered prayers by already shrinking the tumors a little. She is still in great spirits and staying strong.

Well I hate to make this so short but this pregnant lady is starting to get really sleepy. It's time for my afternoon nap. I'll try my best to keep up with the blog. I have pictures on my MySpace if you want to go look at them.

April This is for you!

Okay so this is for April and Cale. She wanted me to update my blog so badly that she wrote to my husband. So I figured it was about time to do so. For those that do myspace I have an account on that too: www.myspace.com/nmhornsby . For those I haven't told yet my husband and I have moved to NJ where my parents live. Since finding out about my Mom's cancer I really wanted to be closer to her and Dad. Cale and I are doing fine. The job front is looking good but slow. We are going to open a title service for NJ and NY. The company owner wants to expand his business from FL to the northeast. So we will be opening a franchise of his already established company called TM Title Service. So God has blessed us and we are letting Him lead us through this journey. But I tell you if it wasn't for my parents I'm not sure what Cale and I'd be doing. Mom feeds us which has been wonderful. We have gotten so many wonderful home cooked meals. We are also living with them right now. Hopefully when we can get this business started we'll be able to help them in return.

Parker, my unborn child, is doing really well. We are havign a boy and my projected due date is April 27th. It had changed for a while to May 7th but now it is back to April 27th. Cale and I are thrilled to be having a baby boy first. I'm in my last trimester and really getting ready for him to arrive and not be pregnant any more. I haven't really had the easiest or enjoyable time being pregnant. Some women have no trouble at all and love being pregnant but not for me. I've stopped having morning sickness which I had pretty bad for the first 4 months. Now I have some acid reflux. I'm hoping it will go away when Parker arrives. He is very active right now which makes me wonder if he will be as a baby. He moves a lot and kicks me all the time. I'm glad to know he's doing well but sometimes he already drives me crazy. Don't get me wrong I love him and can't wait to get to know him.

Okay well I'll try my best to keep the blog updated. O also I am going through school right now too. I'm on my last class and have about 4 weeks left till the end. I want to knock this out before Parker gets here. So for those that are praying for us keep school, job, and baby on the list for us.

This weekend went by in a heart beat. Maybe because I laid in bed most of the time. Saturday I got up early and met my Mother-in-Law to register for baby stuff. For all that think I did this really soon considering I'm 14 weeks along (3 months & 2 weeks) it was for Christmas and early shower purposes. Because Cale and I are leaving to go to NJ in December (Lord willing) we are having a shower early.

There was so much baby stuff. I was overwhelmed. So many choices and I kept saying, "which one should I get?" We went to Target and Baby's R Us. Sara, April, and Jamie, any thing I absolutely must have that you guys loved? I was told I need the whip warmer so that is on my Target registry. One thing I put on that I thought was cool was a rubber ducky that tells you if the water is too hot. I hope that works. I wish I knew what we were having because there was so many cut clothes. I just stuck to yellow and greens. We hopefully will find out before the shower and X-Mas and I'll add girl/boy things. Man, baby stuff is expensive! Maybe I need to get into the baby industry.

So after we did all that I was exhausted. I went home and slept from 3:30pm to 7pm. I did have a good time though and it made me want the baby to come sooner. I'm trying to enjoy my alone time with Cale right now because I know by May we will be busy with the baby. When we go out to dinner and hear kids screaming I turn to Cale and say, "are you ready for that?"

I really can't wait to get a camera so I can post pictures. I'll probably go picture happy so I can catch you all up to now. I love looking at Jenn, April, Jamie, & Sara's sites for the pictures. I've become addicted to this blog thing now. I check it every day.

Okay well I better get back to work. I'm actually going home in a little while due to bad bad heartburn. It has upset my stomach too. Ahh the joy of pregnancy.

Old Friends

I have just recently contacted a few old friends from college. How I miss those days in school. Not owing money for various things. However, I don't miss being married and now pregnant. I'm so happy to hear that April and Sara are pregnant too. And I think their due dates are close to mine. Too bad we live so far away from each other in TX. Cale and I are also trying to make a move to NJ. In Sept we learned that my Mom has lung cancer stage 4. I really want to be with her. Even if God does heal her I would like to be close to my parents when the baby comes. They had to watch Autumn (my niece) grow up from afar and I don't want that for this grandbaby. Unfortunately Cale's parents will have to do that for the time being. We might return to the south some day though.

I am in my 14th week and I feel a lot better. I've been pretty much dead to the world the past two months. Morning sickness hit me hard. I lost 7.5Ibs and could not keep anything done. Dryheaving and throwing up became a routine for me all day long. Working and being pregnant has to be the worst. At least I sit at a desk. I also have had major heart burn. Everyone says then the baby will have a lot of hair when it is born. Well it better have a full head with the heartburn I've had. I've had to get prescription meds for that and nausea. But like I said it is dying down now. I hope to enjoy my 2nd trimester.

Cale and I fly to NJ for Thanksgiving. I'm so excited. I haven't been home for almost 2yrs now. All the kids are coming home for the holiday. We want to spend this time with my Mom. She is in good spirits. She went through radiation to shrink her tumor on her rib, but not the one in her lung. After Thanksgiving she'll start chemo. She wants to do all she can to be around a lot longer. We will need any prayers anyone can give to get rid of the cancer. The family is staying positive though.

On our week in NJ I'm taking Cale to NY City for the first time. He's really excited. I haven't been in a while so I know we'll both enjoy it.

Well I hope to post pictures soon of my belly. It is growing a little, but you can't really tell with my clothes on. We are asking for a digital camera for Christmas. So fingers crossed.

Way Too Long

Okay so every month I'm going to try to update my blog. I promise I will. The reason I make this promise is because I have some wonderful news. Cale and I are going to have a baby. My due date is April 27th which is a great time in TX. It's not too hot (110 degrees) and not too cold. I know that some of my goals I had written about before have not been accomplished yet. I did, however, finish one of my classes and passed it. I'm very happy about that. I am currently in my second and last class for my degree. I want to get it done before the baby comes. Financially it might be a stretch. We did clean a lot of our debt up but Cale took a pay cut recently by switching jobs. But he is so much more happier now then he was when working for Coke. So in the end everything will be fine. I am trying to get a promotion at my job and hopefully that will help us out. We are looking to get into a duplex in December which will be good for Weazer. Who is Weazer? Our doggie. He is 7 months and weights close to 60Ib. He is a lab-retriever and very hyper. He needs a yard to run around in and that is why we are looking at renting a duplex. We would really like to get a house of our own, but the time and money is just not right yet.

Okay well stay tuned for pictures.
