Tiny Update

So here I am at 18 weeks!

I have definitely been feeling much better, and you can tell because I actually try and get ready occasionally! Last Sunday we went to both the Shumway and the Benavides houses and I got rave reviews on wearing makeup. Haha. Oh well. I know I looked like complete trash for a good 16 weeks and I am ok with that!

Also, I have been feeling the baby move which has been really exciting. At first it was just a weird fluttering feeling, but while sitting down Sunday I felt two very obvious kicks! It was so neat! Mostly I feel the fluttering feeling but every now and then, I'll get an obvious one.

I also got a new phone! Judge away you Apple crazed people, but I traded my IPhone in for a new Blackberry. Yah, that's right, I sure did! Ever since I got rid of my first Blackberry there have been moments when I just knew I would eventually have to return to the Blackberry loveliness! So I did it, and I'm glad I did. It's a better phone for me! IPhones are not the epitome of happiness, by the way! Even Ben approved and he is the IPhones number one fan!

Randomly: I loved the chilly weather we were having and I am sad it's so hot again. :(

Well I have two more nights of work before I get five off so I'm going back for a little nap! More updates to come!

Cha Cha Cha Changes

Well my fabulous 5 days off is almost over :(

However, I did get a lot done and was able to have some great times.

I got to see friends, go on dates with the hubby, and get some family time.

Here are some of the changes:

1) Ben and I are redecorating our place. I just got really sick of our living room because we have used those same decorations since we have been married (over 3 years). We found a few fabulous things at Kirklands and decided to redo everything. We are not close to finishing but we have found some great stuff so far. Maybe I'll post pictures if we ever finish!

2) My baby bump has really bumped! I was headed to the gym the other day and Ben was like "Wow, where did that come from?" It's true. I feel like it just popped out one day. The picture in the previous post was at about 14 weeks. Here is me last week at 16.

3) Yes, you read right. I went to the gym! I hurt my arm the other day and when I went to grab it I just grabbed this soft, lumpy mass of an arm. I even recall the word "Sick!" coming out of my mouth. Ever since then I have been going to the gym everyday! The whole first part of my pregnancy I felt awful and tired all the time so I never went, but I am trying to get back to my old schedule! I don't want to have my baby in March and realize that my whole body (not just my stomach) is a huge, soft mess. So yay for that change!

4) I bought my first pair of maternity pants last night! I was really opposed to the idea, but I actually found some really cute jeans at Old Navy that aren't the full panel (which scared me). I can still wear my old jeans right now, but I can just tell they are getting uncomfortable. Mostly when I sit down I feel like I need to unbutton the top button. I also got a really cute pink maternity sweater. I am SOOO pumped for cold weather. Going into Old Navy and seeing all the coats, sweaters, and scarfs just made me sooooo excited. I want everything in that store right now! Ben and I also spent a long time looking at all the baby clothes. They are so stinking cute! It made me so happy and excited! We get to find out if we are having a girl or a boy on November 3, and the anticipation is killing me!

5) Those are really the big changes as of late. I'm pretty sure all my posts will be about my pregnancy and even after that they will all be about my kid. But honestly, who can blame me? We feel so blessed, and I seriously am so happy that is all I want to talk about. So get ready for more prego/baby talk!
