Day 111

Well it's about time I remember something from my crazy dreams!

Last night was a trip! Judge Judy was my doctor and was giving me advice about this horrendous headache I've had most of the week. She was saying that I need to take it easy, relax and not have any stress. The words that I remember most were, "If going home hurts your feelings, don't." HA! What does that mean?? Anyway...

Then D, Leah, Jennie and I were making bacon and egg biscuit sandwiches for breakfast (Yum!) and I had cooked the perfect egg but had to step away for a minute before I could assemble my biscuit and when I came back, the egg was butchered! It was sliced pretty much in half and the yolk was running all over the place. Poor thing. I was a bit irritated by that, but what got me even more was what I saw Jennie doing next... she was cutting ALL of the perfectly cooked eggs into fourths! How do you put that on a biscuit? It's just not right.

And then I woke up, I guess, because that's all there is to it.

On another note... I still say I haven't had any "cravings," but D would most likely disagree, due to the fact that we've gone through almost two jars of Claussen pickle spears in the last week. Seriously though, I love 'em and always have! We hadn't gotten any in a pretty long time and then out of nowhere, something reminded me of them and I had to pick some up the next time I went to the store. So I did. And the rest is history, just like the first jar.

Still not really showing, but I sure can tell that my belly's changing a bit. Hopefully it'll look obviously pregnant fairly soon, or I might flip out. I'm in the fat stage right now and not really diggin' it.

That's all I've got for now. D and I are taking a nice little trip next week, so hopefully I'll have some good stories from that. Cross your fingers!

Day 94 (I think)

Even though I'm sort of starting to come out of my sleepy-beyond-belief phase, I still seem to be slacking on a few things. This blog is one of them. I thought for sure I'd have a new post last week. We did, after all, get to hear the Bean's heartbeat. How cool is THAT, right? It's not every day that you get to have a magic wand pressed up against your belly and hear the funny little slush slush (or chugachugachugachuga) sound of your finally-starting-to-look-like-a-real-miniature-human unborn child's heartbeat. I seriously should have found time to write about that! But I didn't. That doesn't make it any less important to me, though. I just never really had an urge to tell the story. I imagine it'll be a whole different ballgame after we get the "big" ultrasound done on April 12th and hopefully find out if the Bean is a boy or a girl! The heartbeat told me everything's fine. What happens on April 12th will tell me a whole lot more. I am SO excited for that! I don't have a preference, really, but I have a really strange feeling that it's a girl. Either way, I want to know now so we can finally start shopping!

Speaking of shopping, I haven't had to even think about maternity clothes yet. I'm cool with that, although pretty soon I'm sure I'll be at a point where I just look kinda fat and will want to put on a maternity shirt just so people know for sure. Before that happens, though, my lovely husband and I are going on a nice little getaway. It's a combination birthday/babymoon/wedding anniversary gift, but whatever you want to call it, I call it awesome and I am totally looking forward to it! It's actually gotten me motivated to work out every day to get a little more toned before I have to hang out in summer time clothes and a bathing suit for four days. Hopefully I'll keep the working out trend alive even after we get back, because I would sure love to be one of the few women who somehow avoid getting all out of whack and swollen beyond recognition during pregnancy. Now that I said that, though, I'm probably screwed.

Well, I know this post is pretty lame, but I'm just really boring these days! Hopefully I can kick up the excitement factor a notch or two in the coming weeks. Don't give up on me just yet. I promise I'm gonna try!

For now, though, this is all you get.
