Well today is my lovely mommy's birthday. First thing this morning I made her favorite, oatmeal raisin cookies, and picked her up some daisies to take to her house. Aunt Gwen came over and we enjoyed spending time with her and eating lunch with them. We are looking forward to tomorrow since we get to go with Mom, Dad, Megan, Chris, Bub and Jill....to BRAD PAISLEY!!!! w00t!!! I can hardly wait :) It should be a ton of fun (sorry you cant go Chrissy :( )
Baby Update:
As of tomorrow I will be 14wks!!! YAY!!!! My next dr's appt is August 5th, and the appt after that we should be able to find out the baby's gender!!! I can hardly wait to find out!!! I feel like then we can actually do things to start getting ready for baby's arrival. There are still quite a few people who are convinced that we are having a girl which would be SOOOO awesome!!! But we would be thrilled with a boy as well, still got 3ish kids to go before we are "done".
So anyway, I will try to keep this more updated :P, Chrissy just keep reminding me!!!!!

Pregnancy Poll
I just made a poll where people can enter their guesses on gender, birthdate, birthweight, etc!!!
Zzzzzzzz.....
I am so tired of being tired....literally, I go to bed around 11pm at night, wake up around 9am (keep in mind I can't sleep straight through anymore, with potty breaks and burning up all night), but then I am exhausted again by like 11am....I usually take an hour or two nap in the afternoon/early evening and am still ready for bed by 9pm. I know my body is working hard right now but it is EXHAUSTING.....not to mention stress from everyday life. N. still has not found a job (it's been almost a month) which is getting very frustrating for him and tiring for me, since I know he's at home mostly playing on the computer, and I have to go to work 4 days a week. I know my work schedule isn't as bad as most peoples, but when I'm exhausted all the time it's very frustrating. Sorry I guess I just had to vent...

Chuckle Time...
A girl on one of my BabyCenter Community Boards posted this and it just makes me laugh everytime I read it. Whether you are pregnant, have been, or are married to someone who is/has been, you will appreciate it:
"So since I've been pregnant a Whooping 8 weeks, I've decided that I now have sufficient knowledge about all things pregnancy. Please see below for my do's and don'ts!
Things to do while pregnant:
1) Be grateful if your not experiencing morning sickness. You are still pregnant with out it. Wishing you had morning sickness is like wishing you had the flu. And that's just silly.
2) Avoid the No-No foods (except for Hot Chocolate, that odd Coke here and there, the Subway sandwich you grabbed last Tuesday, the Mountain Dew that suddenly appeared in your car after leaving the gas station, the cup of coffee on your desk right now as you read this, that hot dog you are planning on having at your friends annual 4th of July party....)
3) Understand that as many books as your husband reads he will NEVER get that you are cranky just because.
4) Remain patient with your husband when he incessantly questions why you are cranky.
5) Reassure your husband 1,000+ times per hour that you are not cranky at him, you are not cranky at his Mom, you are not cranky at the cat, you are not cranky about work, you are not cranky about the state of the economy, you are not cranky that the sky wasn't a particularly spectacular shade of blue today and you are not cranky about pregnancy.
6) Drink plenty of water. About the amount in an Olympic swimming pool should suffice. (But don't drink the water out of an Olympic swimming pool. Chlorine is bad for baby)
7) Resign yourself that you will be up 10 times a night to pee. Make a game out of it. Keep a running count of the number of times you have to get up in the middle of the night. Take note of the final number. This is the number of times your husband has to tell you he loves you , worships you and is eternally grateful that you (not he) is carrying the child.
8) Take your prenatal vitamins. Ignore the fact that they create a feeling quite similar to battery acid in your stomach. This is the feeling of providing goodness to your lovely child.
9) Do accept number 8 as the very first thing that you have done for your child that they will never appreciate. This is the first of many.
10) Remember to exercise. Yes, I know that you have been up since dawn and that you've worked hard all day. And I know that you've just cooked a nutritious dinner for your family and now 'America's Next Top Model' is on and all you want to do is get off your feet for 5 minutes. Too bad! Suck it up and get out there and walk. It's good for baby! Count this as the second thing you've done for your child that they will never appreciate.
Things not to do while pregnant:
1) Do not yell at the ultrasound tech for making you drink an Olympic swimming pool's worth of water and then not allowing you to pee. She's just doing her job. Also, do your best to refrain from peeing on her.
2) Do not smack people for touching your tummy. It's rude to hit and they are just showing their affection. Show your affection back by rubbing their bottom.
3) Do not listen to people's advice. I'm sure you'll be tickled to know that Aunt Suzie's Second Cousin always hopped up and down on one leg for an hour every day to ensure she had a girl, but that's quite unrealistic. Not to mention tiring. Trust your instincts.
4) Do not forget to eat. You would think this would be a no brainer, what with TV showing all these pregnant ladies DIEING of hunger ALL the time. But in the first trimester...your not so much about the food. But the little one needs nutrients...and so do you. So try to choke something down.
5) Don't call your doctor a vampire to her face when she takes 9 vials of blood. Apparently, that's insulting. Wait until you leave to call them such names.
6) Don't buy 5 pregnancy books. Buy one. They all say the same things. Each and every one of them. They are like little paper clones. Trust me on this."
***Hope you all got a laugh like I do :) Have a great day!!!!***

Easy like a Sunday morning.
Well today is Sunday (hence the title), and we have had a pretty relaxing morning so far. N. let me sleep in until 9am (I wish it had been noon!!) then we got up and I swept the house and got the laundry going. Today N. has a job interview at 5pm so I am really hoping it goes well for him. I don't really mind him not having a job, even though financially it is not ideal, but he is getting frustrated with it. Yesterday I worked 1-6, then went to Mom D's house for dinner and games. We had a good time, but I was exhausted. When we got home N. took my first "baby bump" picture, it was at 10wks1day. Well I am hoping to go to Mom and Dad's house for lunch today, if I stay awake, my eyes are getting very heavy......

Sitting around...
Well, today I was a bit scared because I missed a call from my dr's office. I listened to the voicemail fully expecting the worst (I don't know what I thought I would hear, I guess that I'm not really pregnant, although that's impossible). So anyway, the voicemail just says they want to move my appt up from July 8th to July 7th. I am pretty excited because that means we get to hear baby's heartbeat in 13 days!!!!! Well N. still doesn't have a job (not sure if I wrote about that on here, but he was 'let go' from his job just over 2 weeks ago). I am burning up so I think I'm gonna go turn a fan on or something. Hope everyone is doing well!!!!!

9 wks!!!!
Well today I am 9 weeks pregnant!!! YAY!!!! Baby is approximately 1" long this week, and the muscles are forming. So exciting!!!! Baby only has about 19" to go until we get to meet him/her!!!! My tummy is starting to firm up a bit, not that it was too flabby before *wink*...I can't wait until it looks like a baby bump and less like too much spaghetti!! Well this is Father's Day weekend and I am going to make a cake for N. tomorrow and spend some time with my daddy on Sunday (hopefully as just a family thing for awhile). I am really tired, this whole pregnancy thing sure can make you that way!!!!! Guess I better head off to bed. Have a great weekend!!
