First Post of the Year

Man, I have been a slacker, only posting once last month. A lot of things have changed in the past few months, and I fully realize that only more change is coming... Now that I'm moving onto the second trimester, I'm feeling a little better, the energy is coming back too, I cooked dinner and stayed up until 10:30 last night, I know, exciting huh? But this is a landmark for me, I haven't cooked, cleaned, watched a movie (without falling asleep) with my hubby, and stayed awake past oh, about 8:30 PM in about 8 or 9 weeks... Like I said, a lot of things have changed for us. Tys is a good husband though, he hasn't let any of it bother him, and he is so sweet to bring me a piece of toast and sprite while I lay on the couch.

My sweet dad called me this morning to see how I'm doing today, its a day to day thing with me... anyway, he said he was sitting in his work truck thinking about all the changes coming into our life, all great and wonderful, and better than I could ever imagine now, and how happy he was for us... it was really sweet. He told me about when I was little, my parents had a corvette, and the car seat laws, well, lack thereof were different, and I was sitting on my mom's lap and rolled her hair up in the window... the corvette was sold and a more "family-friendly" vehicle was then purchased.


Last week was "week 14" and I've heard from so many people and I've read a lot about 14 being the "magic" number. I have been looking forward to this lucky week for awhile now, and lo and behold, I got the flu... ick! I've never thrown up so much in my life as I did in a space of 5 days. But I'm on the mends and haven't thrown up for 4 days now and counting :)


Saturday, I got my hair cut, went and bought a few "maternity" clothes with some Christmas money, went to lunch with Tyson's grandma, and then Tys took me to "Seven Pounds" Have any of you seen this movie? If you haven't I won't go into a full review and spoil it, but it is very interesting, one of those movies that makes you go, "huh, I have a good life" I was already a little overwhelmed by the movie and then... I felt the baby move for the first time, I was crying pretty hard, and the lady next to me must have thought I was a freak! Coolest feeling ever, Tys is jealous that he can't feel it for a few more weeks.


We are getting really exciting to find out what we are having, I've been looking at bedding for the crib, color schemes, but I haven't bought ANYTHING yet... it's been so hard not to grab some cute little outfits, or the shoes, I love the little shoes! Anway, just a little catch up of the last few weeks in our crazy lives. Hope you are all having a great start to a great year! Oh, here's a picture, sorry, its a little blurry, Tyson was laughing while he took it- (Clothes really hide it, but I definitely have a baby bump :)
