This is me

This is me stating to the universe that I will be healthier. I won't be eating five thousand candy bars in one day anymore and I will start being more active. How in the heck I was healthier during pregnancy than after, I have no clue, but this is gonna stop right now.

Weird?

Is it TOTALLY weird or just sorta/pretty weird that, when I got my mortgage statement and envelope (to pay the mortgage for Sept) I got weirdly excited???

Greedy

I don't know why, but I've been getting the gimmies lately. Like, some of the things make some sort of sense (like spending almost $400 on diapers)...but then there are some things like this recurring, thick desire to buy a Prius. And, don't get me wrong, we own two cars. Granted, I refuse to drive "his" car b/c Goldilocks hates me and I hate her right back...but my car runs just fine and is in decently good condition. So why should I have this odd desire to get into massive amounts of debt for a car we don't need? It makes no sense, but is still there. Practicing self-control...but tempted to just go out and TEST DRIVE one because maybe that would satisfy the urge??? LOL

What what?

Granted, I'm not sure as I've never felt it before, but I MAY be feeling Yoda-Monster kick.

The first time it happened was on the plane ride home, but I wasn't sure if it's b/c the tummy was getting upset or what...but then it happened again yesterday several times. And here's all I can think of to compare it to... It's, like, the opposite of a cramp. For the first few months, the tummy was upset a lot of the time. Sometimes it would be roll-ey, sometimes it would be hot-owie, sometimes it would be really crampy, sometimes there just seemed to be a LOT of tension, etc. Well, this isn't painful at all...and it's not like a cramp...it's like the opposite of a cramp. So instead of feeling like my insides are somewhat collapsing on themselves/curling up into a ball, it feels like something's expanding quickly and then will stop. Weird. I guess we'll see next week at the ultrasound if that is, in fact, what it is or not...although I'm not sure if/when it will happen again.

Plus, I guess today marks 19 weeks. Thank God I'm about half-way there to meeting my wee-one.

4 yrs / 13 week update

1) Today is Hubby and my 4th year anniversary. Woo hoo. We're going out to Olive Garden as it's tradition and we do it every year (that plus the fact I've been craving their breadsticks for weeks).

2) Today marks 13 weeks. Three more days and I'll technically be in my second trimester. Cool. Stopped wearing Sea Bands this week in hopes that my body would adjust and stop all of this nausea whatnot. It's been a little better in the mornings, but still gets harsher at night. While I'm afraid to say it out loud, I think that overall, it's getting better (although some days are still more horrible than others). I have been having headaches this past week and that's probably because I haven't been sleeping so well, but hopefully that will change soon too.

3) Plus, Chris has been working on the house a lot more lately and I'm SO excited for when we get the bedrooms finished (walls are up but not finished). And then I get to start decorating the nursery!!! Ooh. Plus, I'd like to sleep in my own bedroom again...LOL

what what?

Today the alarm didn't go off, so I had 9 minutes to get ready before leaving for work. Had pineapple and a Fiber Plus Antioxidants Chocolate Chip bar for breakfast (delicious) but then felt bad. No fun. I wish it was Friday at 4:45. I'm anticipating the weekend (hope the weather is nicer than they say it will be). I'm keeping my fingers crossed about the future and we'll just have to wait a few days to see what comes of it.

Torture

I just posted about things I'd rather have than being tortured. It's good to focus on the positives, right?
Seriously, though, it was a good weekend. A good portion of the time was taken up by coordinating food for 100 people (ended up being more like 50-60), but that's okay. Now I have lots of potatoes and I can have twice-baked potatoes and fried potatoes and potato fries and shrimp scampi, fried shrimp, shrimp kabobs (yes, I morphed).

Plus, I started cutting some more for my back garden and decided it'll be way too much work to dig a 1-2" trench. But that saves me time...I wonder how it will look once I'm done...
