13 Week Update

13 weeks! Only 27 to go. lol. Still haven’t thrown up at all so far this pregnancy. I just feel a little nauseous after I eat in the morning but that only last for about 10 minutes and then I’m good! I’m still hungry all the stinkin time and Mac N Cheese still sounds good alllll day loooong. Alex even surprised me and bought a box yesterday and that’s totally gonna be tonight’s dinner. Super excited. Oh ps, he also had dinner ready (chicken parmesan) when I got home from work yesterday. It was awesome. He’s the coolest. Anywho, I still crave sour things all day too… pickles, Zours, lime Tootsie Rolls, lemon sherbet, etc. Um... I’ve also noticed that ever since I’ve been pregnant, if I want to zone something out, I can do it awesomely. Idk if that’s really a pregnancy thing or just coincidence, but yeah. I’ve done it several times at work. When other people are talking around me I can just zone em out and go into my own little world. Then when I finally snap out of it, I realize they’ve actually been talking to me for the past 2 minutes and I kinda feel bad. Oh well? Hmmm... what else... Oh, I absolutely hate pants. As soon as I get home, I just wanna strip down. I hate anything clinging to me. I just wanna be free. lol. TMI, sorry. I guess that's it for this week. 2 more weeks till my next appointment and we'll hopefully be able to find out the sex. Yay!!

Pregnancy

Here are some things that describe my life lately...

* I've never had to pee in the middle of the night ever in my life. Now it's like a nightly ritual. Sometimes I even try to talk myself out of it and go back to sleep, but it doesn't work. Ever.

* Mac & Cheese always sounds good. I'll never turn it down. Crap... now I want some.

* I'm pretty sure I can't listen to any slow song without getting slightly emotional. Especially Brad Paisley. That man pulls at every heart string I have. And it's enough to make me have to quit singing along because I'm crying and can't catch my breath. It's ridic.

* I've never burped so much in my entire life as I have in the last 6 weeks. It's gross. And so unladylike. Sorry Alex.

* Sometimes I like to wear maternity garments in front of Alex while singing, "I'm sexy and I know it." Cuz it's sexy.... and I know it.

* I have to eat about 16 meals a day. Ok, not really, but it feels like it. I get hungry like every 1 1/2. It's somewhat annoying, but it's all for a good cause.

* Alex and I both call the baby "she". I'm not sure if it's the "motherly intuition" that people speak of having or if it's just me wanting a girl so bad that I just pretend that I know it is one. Either way... SHE's gonna be the cutest little girl ever.

* I've never been so grateful for the weekends in my life. But they are now my heaven. I LOVE sleeping in and not having to work. Walking around the house looking like crap and watching 48 Hours all day is bliss.

* I haven't thrown up this entire pregnancy, but smells make me gag about 20 times a day. Especially food smells after just eating. Even if it's what I just ate, if I'm full and look at it again or smell it I have to leave the room. Even if it was flaming delicious. I also have a bottle of perfume that I can't wear anymore. I'll probably end up giving it to the sister I see next which is Keta. Sorry Randa. But in all fairness, Keta gave me a bottle of perfume from when she was pregnant, so I'm just returning the favor.

* Alex has been amazing. He's doing alllll the research and making sure I'm keeping the baby and myself healthy. He tells me what I need to be doing and what I need to be staying away from. He's spoiling me with french fries when I need them, and Blizzards from Dairy Queen, and foot rubs when I ask for them. He tells me all the time, "You're not fat, you're beautiful." (Cuz he read in a book that he's suppose to tell me that. lol). I absolutely love it. I have the best man ever.
