Summer Fun!

Get excited. We are getting a pool! We have finally broke Dave down and he is letting us get one! They will begin installation in about a week and a half to two weeks!! YEA!! :-) I can't wait! After class, I'll be in the pool!! Like, everyday!!! :-) So excited. That's about all that's new... I'm finally out of my first trimester. But I don't feel any different... Just bigger.

The year of the locust

Random thought: I was Hannah's age the last time the locusts came. All I remember abou tthem was taking the shells and sticking them on my shirt. I thought it was the coolest thing ever! Now that they are back I see how gross they are! :-) This kid will be 16 before they ever see a locust. How wierd is that? Something I remember so well from my childhood, fetus won't have. I'll be practically an old woman the next time they come! It's crazy to think about it!

My sense of humor...

Okay... So I've been thinking abut maternity clothes... only because I dread having to get dresses everyday cuz my pants are so tight... and I have made a few decisions on tops i would liek to make. (I couldn't find them cheaper than $40.00 online!!! Obscene for a top I'm gonna wear a few times and that's it!!! So, here are some quotes I think i'd like to wear for the next 6 month... If you can think of any I missed... let me know!!! I'll make those too!! "Due in: November" "Pregnant. (Not fat.)" "It's a ****" (I don't want to jinx it by putting one or the other first......) "A future Momma" "Comming This Fall..." "Just Kickin' It" Haha. Fun! I am so exhausted! I can't fall asleep at night and then all of the lovely people in my house under 18... (Hannah) run and stop through the house all morning long and wake me up after only a few hours of sleep. And, don't get me wrong, I'm not mad at Hannah, she doesn't know any better, but you would think her mother would... If she ever bothered to think about anyone but herself. Anyway... enough about that! (I COULD go on for days on that subject...) Newest piece of exciting news... I'm 3 days away from being out of my 1st Trimester! I'm 1/3 of the way done!!! YEA!!!! It's the size of a Jumbo shrip... So, if you go eat some shrip this week just remember that's how big fetus is! :-) (How wrong is that!?!?!?) Also, Fetus has finger prints and can pee. How exciting, getting 6 months of practice in so it can try to pee on me. But, I have to say... working at the daycare made me a pro at diaper changing, puke cleaning, and bugger sucking... This kid is in for a treat if it's gonna try to trip me up! I got this under control! I'm a pro! :-) hahahaaaa!!! So I guess I should begin reading again to see what's in store for me during the second trimester....... talk to everyone later!!! By the way, I love hearing back from everyone! Thank you and keep the replys comming!!!!! :-)

Been a while

I know, it's been a while... I've been lazy. I'm not gonna lie and say I've been busy, cuz i haven't! Just lazy. So... Let's see. I was very very sick friday night. I called the doctor, he said I was having a bad reaction to the medicine he put me on for my sinus infection. After I stopped taking it, and let it get out of my system, I felt pretty good. Saturday Sara and I went garage saling and ran a few errands after picking up baby David. It was sun to look at all the baby stuff, even though I can't buy anything yet. I still like to look!! :-) I'm excited about registering and having baby showers and all kids of stuff like that! :-) David and I hung out aroudn teh house Saturday night taking it easy. He is so good for me when we are alone! he is so sweet to me, but can be so onrey at the same time. I had to get up and work Sunday morning and then I got David again after work sunday night. Sunday was not as good of a day for him and I as Saturday was. Cari, Jay, Hannah, Sarah, Big Dave and my mom were all here to distract him so he was acting a fool all night. Finally I gave him a bath and laid him down at 8 and he was out! He stayed the night and I dropped him off before my first day of summer classes. My first summer class is not going to be that exciting, so I'm not giong to waste my time on it. What is exciting about today are these two things: I got my hair cut (again) but I really like it! I liek the length and style. It will be easy to take care of. (I hope!) Also, on my way home, one of our neighbors had baby Walnut trees in pots in his front yard for people to take for free. So I got one. I have been wanting to plant a tree for Ziggy since I ofund out I was pregnant. So now I get to. Hopefully it'll survive! And hopefully my mom will let me plant it somewhere.... haven't asked her yet.... I'd like to put pics of my belly (cuz I do have one now) on here but I don't know how. So... I'll have to figure it out another day. We are eating lasagna at chris's tonight. YUM!!!!!

Hormones

So, I'm not much of a cryer. I hate letting people see me cry. I had to lock myself in my bathroom and run bath water before the tears would come when grandpa dean died. The last few days it has taken all of my strength to hold it in. It's like I'm catching up on a lifetime of crying. It's so freakin annoying. I even cry at girly movies. How annoying. Will I ever be normal again?

Grey's

HAPPY GREY'S ANATOMY!! Not been a real great week. Not in the mood to blog. Just wanted to let you all know the doctors appointment went well. Gained 11 pounds so far, but none since my last visit. (Maybe I won't be the size of a house when I give birth then.) I will probably find out what I'm having at my July appointment cuz I'll be about 20 weeks. EXCITING!

Happy Birthday... Kinda...

I'm 11 weeks today It's the size of a fig It's fingers and toes are fully formed It can get hiccups (poor kid!) It's teeth are forming It is swimming around and playing in the amniotic fluid Just thought you'd be interested!

Newest update

So this grapefruit that is supposed to be my uterus is starting to cause some problems... CRAMPS!!! Good lord! Do they get any better? I sure hope so! Also, I do know that I am 10 weeks. But what does that really mean? How many months? How close to being out of the first trimester am I? SO, according to my "What to Expect Pregnancy Journal & Organizer" I am in the first week of my 3rd month. HOLY COW!!!! Only 7 more to go! I gotta start shopping! This Journal is pretty cool. Each month it asks me a lot of fun questions, and it also gives me a place to record my thoughts, reactions, etc... for each day on it's own weekly page. Since I don't have much to talk about I will share stuff out of the journal from the last 3 months. ============================================================== MONTH 1 Bra Size 32A I suspected I might be pregnant because: I constantly had to pee!
