so...i know i left this blog for dry a few months ago when i was back in school and life got crazy. and although i love blogging and want to do better at it, i'm not promising any consistency here. but my finals are over, and here i am at home with nothing to do but wrap Christmas presents and read "The Hobbit", and i just really felt like blogging.
and boy, do i have something to blog about!
we're having a baby!
8 week ultrasound
12 week ultrasound...baby was jumping around and squirming like crazy in there. it looks like baby is sucking its thumb in this picture, but my husband says he's flexing or fist pumping. we were also able to listen to the heartbeat which was awesome!
telling our families was really fun. we told each family at our thanksgiving dinners by putting this binky in the food for our moms to find!
we are at 13 weeks this week...almost done with the first trimester! so happy! i've been sick with a very picky appetite. the few things i always want is cheese, milk, and pizza. we went to the spaghetti factory last week and i felt like i had died and gone to heaven with the browned butter & mizithra cheese. mmmm!
early morning clinical was rough for me this last semester and i was praising the heavens when we finished! i'm hoping to be feeling better by the time school starts back up in january. and i honestly think i have been feeling better, except that i ate half a tub of popcorn at the movies the other night and came home and lost all of it...soo no more half tubs of popcorn for me.
sorry, you probably didn't want to hear that? being a little obscene of a person along with nursing school and working as a cna, i'm a little too comfortable talking about bodily functions. i'll try to resist doing that on the world wide web. trust me there are a lot of weird pregnancy happenings going on around here...but i suppose we don't need to talk about them.
one thing i DO want to talk about is my baby daddy. i have always known i married a good person but since being pregnant, he has surprised me more and more with what an amazing husband he is. he works 40+ hours a week, goes to school full time, and comes home to an ornery or emotional pregnant lady who might be crying because she doesn't know what to cook for dinner and she is just so tired right now! haha poor guy, but he is completely patient and loving to me all the time, and never stops serving me. i have come home from work to him cleaning the house on his only day off. the other day he had a full day of work and two finals to take and he woke up early and made me breakfast. he makes most of the meals around here, we'd seriously starve without him. he has a heart of gold and i am one lucky lady to call him mine. this kiwi is equally lucky to have such a good daddy.
we spent a few days cleaning out our junk room office so it can be a nursery. i'm excited to fill it with baby items! we've been very blessed the past few weeks to be able to spend a lot of time with family and friends, even with how crazy busy things have been around here. we seriously have the best support system in the world! i am very lucky that with school, work, events, and baby preparation that i have been able to feel the spirit of Christmas & the love of God. i've been overwhelmingly grateful lately!
i hope everyone has wonderful holidays! i might be back for some baby updates...
