I've been pretty tired lately and honestly pretty lazy and am really looking forward to having the next couple of weeks over. Apparently in a couple of weeks, I'll wake up feeling brand new with a ton of energy and no sickness. We'll see about that. In fact, I'm so lazy that Koa is on a Blockbuster and Taco Time run as I type...no trying a new recipe for me tonight! Must do casseroles or more soup this weekend...
I love my husband. Not more than 20 minutes ago I was having a sob fest over who knows what and he patiently sat and comforted me for a good half hour while I sobbed over the silliest things! Damn hormones-it's ridiculous! Last week it was pregzilla (see the shirts we want below) and this week I'm Miss Sensitive! I guess it could be worse- plus, it's small price to pay for the little miracle that's coming in a few short months!
Here's the shirts...a little crude, but hilarious. Not sure if they are worth $38...I might surprise Koa though...
Technically I haven't been sick (no throwing up), but Sprite and crackers have definitely become close friends of mine because it seems that they are the only thing that keeps me from getting too queasy. Whoever coined the phrase "morning" sickness should be shot- the AM is just one part of the joy- it's an all day event for me! Sigh. When the 14 week mark rolls around I guess that will be relief. Not that I'm trying to rush things by any means, but jeeezzz...it's hard to be a joyful example when you feel like barfing all the time.
I can't tell if I'm actually starting to show or if I just look like I've been drinking too much beer:
We plan on taking a picture each week to document the "progress". Thank goodness I lost 35 lbs last year...My doctor (whom we love) said that gaining 30lbs was about right so I'm trying to be not too much of a beefcake and watch what I eat so I don't get too out of control. Unfortunately I did gain some of the said 35lbs back so I'm not where I'd like to be starting but anything's better than where I was. So to put it out there (since this blog is for documenting purposes) 8 weeks and I'm 145. uffff. As I'm about to rage on a yummy taco with mexi fries... And, why are all sodas not created in a diet version and readily available? Being pregnant has forced me to kick my Diet Coke habit...
Okay. This is getting long and Koa just got back so here's a few pictures of the pups from a few days ago. Shipping them to Abu Dhabi (ha) and one of Conan at a park we discovered on one of our walks:
