Baby Update No. 3

Maybe doing this 2 weeks apart is too much...?

How far along: 12 weeks and 3 days

Total weight gain/loss: Unsure. I don't want to know.... I would guess maybe +1 lbs...?

Maternity clothes: No, but my jeans are getting hard to button...

Stretch marks: None.

Sleep: I get tired around 9:30ish. I usually pass out on the couch, ask any of my brother in laws... They have seen me conk out during xbox games.... For some reason, Michael can start playing an xbox game and within minutes, I'm out.

Best moment this week: Last night Robin and I went saw a Double feature... It was fun hanging out with her even tho she complains more than I do about all the weird pregnant things... (Heart you Rob)

Movement: Nodda. Although I did have a Dr Pepper the other day (yes I totally gave in) and I don't think the baby likes it as much as I do... It was the weirdest feeling...

Food cravings: I don't know if its a craving, but I have been eating a lot of soups lately and they are more than delicious...

Aversions: Still beans of any kind. ugh. Cafe Rio. Any kind of salad, and some meats.... I have had smell aversions lately... Plants, dirty dishes, TRASH, smokers, bathrooms, and BO... Sadly these are just the ones off the top of my head.... How about anything smelly.

Gender: I AM DYING TO KNOW! Patience has never been one of my best virtues, and I think that pregnancy has just made it worse. I'm sooo ready to have the baby already. I can't wait!

What I miss: My old gag reflex. (when I say old gag reflex, I really mean, NO gag reflex)

Milestones: 12 weeks! Woot woot! I finally don't feel totally stupid when people ask me how far along I am. I'm almost done with my first TRIMESTER! Again, I cannot wait til the nausea part is done with!

Extra: Why in the world do we need a Gag Reflex? Honestly when has someone said, "Man I wish my gag reflex was more awesome!" No, no one has ever even thought that. Stupid gag reflex... (Don't worry, I won't share any of the details...)
I think I'm in the awkward stage where I don't look pregnant, I just have a pooch......

Yes, I know, I know, I am getting my hair done this weekend.....

Future info: I have a doctor's apt tomorrow. Hopefully it will go smoothly, it will be the first one where Mikey won't be able to go with me...

Ugly Eye

So this weekend was fun.

Oh wait, except for that allergic reaction I had to some eyeliner...

This was Saturday morning. I look like a demon that can't wait to suck some blood...
It doesn't itch or hurt or anything like that, but the whole area around my eye was sore, like I got punched.

Luckily we have a family friend that is an Ophthalmologist and confirmed it was an allergic reaction instead of pink eye...


This morning (Monday)
It looks a lot better, and the soreness is gone...


I can't wait til I'm normal looking again...

ps. I really did have a fun weekend, I got to play with my nephews, and none of them looked at me funny with my ugly eye....

The Rob Blog

My sister Robin (Many of you know her as Rob, The Rob-ster, Ro-ber-to, and my favorite Roberta) just started a blog.

She is awesome (when she isn't bossing me around!)

Here it is!

Check it out... or she'll beat me up!

This Blog Is One Year Old!

Last Year Today, I started this pointless blog. (Pointless but fun.)

Lets see, what has happened since I started this blog:

Got Back from our Florida honeymoon

Moved into our house

Had our First Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas (all of them were infinitely better than they ever were single) (except maybe Halloween, nothing beats running around the whole town of White Rock trying to get as much candy as possible!) But handing out candy to very cute kiddos is fun too...

I turned 25!

My cute cute cute Nephew Ethan was born the same month as me! (No wonder he is soo awesome!)

In April I got another cute cute cutie nephew, Ashton. (who's personality is totally different than his older brother's, which is mind boggling cause they almost look like twins)

I chopped off all my hair. I loved it at the time, but now I wish I never did it. (ps. Carlie I miss you. Lets hang out!)

One of my Besties, Andrea got married. I was privileged to be a bridesmaid in her wedding, and it was probably the best weekends I have ever had in Utah. (Whitney, I will never forget our Ikea trip!)

My Mikey-Man Turned 25!

We got to go to one of the places that I have been dying to go, Yellowstone. Talk about a fun trip. I felt like a spoiled little girl the whole time. It was great!

Michael and I Hit our 2 year anniversary of being together. It's crazy it has been that long. (I guess I better get used to it...)

Found out I was pregnant. That was a big one. Its still a crazy thought to me. But I'm lovin it.

And last but not least, we had our 1 year anniversary of being Married.

Doesn't seem like a whole lot, but I love every little memory...

Intelligender!

So this morning I did this:


Should I tell you the results, or should I have you guess?

FYI: So Intelligender says it is more of a fun thing to do for expectant mothers. It says that you shouldn't go buy stuff til you have your actual ultra-sound. Which I think is funny as all get out. So pretty much I just wasted $30. Haha, but it is still fun to speculate.






















So what are the results!?






























It said BOY!

Hahaha! Which means that the Chinese Calendar is wrong and so is the Swinging Needle Test!

Now I really can't wait til 20 weeks!

Baby Update No. 2

How far along: 10 weeks and 3 days

Total weight gain/loss: 0lbs (I lost 5lbs, was down to 130, and now I'm back around 135)

Maternity clothes: Nope. I bought some cute shirts that will work tho... (but I have always liked baggy shirts)

Stretch marks: Nodda.

Sleep: I get exhausted around 9. Usually in bed by 10ish. I've been waking up at 2 or 3 in the am, and it takes me a while to go back to sleep.

Best moment this week: Just Now. Free Papa Johns at work. Mmmm...

Movement: Nothin' yet.

Food cravings: Baked Potatos, and home-made Milkshakes. I could go for those anytime of the day/night.

Aversions: Still beans of any kind. ugh. Cafe Rio. Any kind of salad, and some meats.

Gender: Ok, so we still don't know, but Michael and I have come to an agreement. I'm guessing girl, and he is guessing boy, so whatever it is, one of us is gonna be right. We don't care what it is really, we are just excited! (I have bought baby girl clothes, and stuff for a girl mobile to hang above the crib.) (Hopefully I haven't jinx myself...) I bought Intelligender last night, so maybe tomorrow I will have a post of what it said...

What I miss: Energy & Strength. My old gag reflex. (anything can set off my new one)

Milestones: I don't know about you guys but I think 10 weeks is a milestone!

Extra: My Nausea is slowly going away. I'm only nauseous at night now, which isn't as bad. If I eat as soon as I get home from work, I'm good. My hormones are playing with me. Today I heard a OnStar commercial on the radio, and got misty, seriously? Who does that? Again, there was an Oprah Tribute on TV and I don't even like her that much and bam - more mist. I don't have a lot of patience either, I get so annoyed I almost get twitchy. I have to calm myself down and just let it go...(hahaha) I can't watch most food commercials with out getting nauseous either. I feel like my attention span has shortened. (I don't know if that is a prego thing or not) but if I have noticed that, I'm sure a lot of people have.... Another thing is, that it feels like it is taking forever. I feel like I have been pregnant for forever now and its only been 10 weeks. I think I'm just getting antsy. I just want it to be here already! Smells are everywhere. If i smell a cigarette, I (again no patience) say really loudly, IS SOMEONE SMOKING!? GROSS! (I'm a really rude pregnant lady) Hahaha...

PS. I would kill for a Dr. Pepper or a Pepsi! So don't even tempt me! (It might be the last thing you do!)


Past info: Week 8 was the low point so far. I haven't been as sick as much as my Sister, Robin was. (Thank goodness! she had it rough.)

1 Year....

Michael and I hit our 1 Year mark last Sunday! (I know, I'm a bit late in posting this)

We didn't get a chance to celebrate til this weekend.

We went to Mt. Charleston for dinner.


It was really fun to get out of Vegas for a couple of hours. It was cold up there. 51 degrees!

We got dressed up (ie. Nice Jeans and T-shirt for Mikey, and I actually put make-up on.)

Saw 2 deer, both with huge antlers...

It was a good night.

Now for the mushy stuff... If you want to stop reading here I don't blame you....

I can't believe its been a year. It went by fast. Looking back it has been a lot of fun. Back when we were dating, I asked him,"Are you always gonna be this nice?" which he replyed, "No." (hahaha I was a little alarmed at the time) Now I know he was just being his silly self. I don't think Mikey understands how much I love and appreciate him. I tell him that I don't think he ever will, either. He is so childlike, always kidding around, or has something witty to say. I love that about him. What amazes me is how much I miss him when he isn't around. What amazes me more is how much our relationship has grown and changed since we met. I love him more than I did when we were sealed for eternity....

If the first year is the hardest, bring it on!

Coveting....

So I know that coveting is a very bad thing, BUT these ladies cant help but make you do it. I have been looking at these blogs all day.

no. joke.

I have been hopping back and forth, and not one dull moment yet. So this post is more for me so I can save the links and go back tomorrow, but maybe some one out there will enjoy them too...?


its kinda embarrassing how many I have open... but I love em. all of them.

9am

This is what Vegas looks like today at 9am

From my work parking lot with my cell phone.

Doesn't look like 9am to me...
