- I'm completely new to this, so I'm hoping I'm doing this right. And by right, I mean am I supposed to do the same topic??
- I'm 16w pregnant with my first child and absolutely HORRIFIED at what happens before I get to bring my bundle of joy home.
- I'm doing a lot of worrying about finances, babysitting, etc. It's not very becoming!
- I thoroughly enjoy wine... and am pretty sad I have 100's of bottles of homemade wine in my basement "aging" because I cannot drink it yet :-(
- My job is really starting to bore me, but I feel like I'm stuck right now... for obvious reasons.
- I'm tired of being tired all the time. When does this end?
- I'm going to miss vacation this year... and so is my husband :-(
- I hate blow-drying my hair. I mean, really hate it! I avoid it at all costs!
- I take off my wedding rings as soon as I get home from work and usually don't wear them around to run errands. People think that's weird. My husband and I both do it. I don't need a ring to prove I'm married.
Ok.. so those are just a few of my confessions. Join Andrea over at Are you Listening to play along too!

Now vs. Then
I've been thinking a lot about things I know now vs. things I knew when I literally thought I knew it all! It's so funny how things, times, people, etc, change!
Then - I thought pregnancy was all glitz and glamour, and while I wasn't so sure I'd love EVERY second of being pregnant, I was sure I wasn't going to complain. After all, there are tons of people who don't get to experience this miracle.
Now - Now, I know that, although I still try really hard not to complain for said reasons listed above, it's hard. And sometimes, whether I like it or not, I cannot do it, or do not want to do it for the simple reason that "I'm pregnant!".
Then - When I was in high school I thought I, like many of us, was invincible. I'm a little embarrassed (and proud too!)to admit that I didn't have sex in high school. For numerous reasons, but my life was drama enough (or so I thought!) that worrying about being late, or getting pregnant, or losing it to the wrong guy would have been way too much on my plate.
Now - Now I know it's a damn good thing I didn't have sex in high school. While I didn't get pregnant while on the pill, the minute, yes almost literally, that I went off the pill I was pregnant. While I have much respect for many people who have children in their teens, it wasn't for me and I wouldn't be where I am today if that would have happened.
Then - I thought my best friend would be my best friend FOREVER!
Now - Now I know that friends come and go, and while I have a few friends that I call my best, I would rather have one good friend, then all my "best friends" from high school combined.
Then - I used to tell myself I'd never do a job that I didn't ABSOLUTELY love.
Now - Life happens. You have bills, and things you want to do, and more bills. And with the economy in shambles like it is, you take what you can get. I'm fortunate... I use my degree and make good money. But, I defintely don't ABSOLUTELY love my job!
These are just a few silly things I've been thinking about lately. I can't believe everything that changes, whether or not we want it too! What about you... what did you think, then vs. now?

Hello Second Trimester
It's official. Today begins the Honeymoon Trimester. I can already tell a difference (actually within the last week or so I've been gaining energy and feeling less and less poopy!) I'm so excited to get stuff done around my house! My poor house has been neglected (and that is putting it nicely) since approx. Nov. 12 when I just wasn't feeling well and decided to take a pregnancy test lol. I have convinced myself that the dirt and nastiness will be there, and so sleeping should be number one on my list! And it's worked out ok, except for the fact that no one has been to our house, dust bunnies and dog hair are accumulating (sorry if that is TMI!) and my husband has to do his own laundry lol!
I'm still not feeling like I did pre-baby in belly... but I'm feeling pretty dang good, which makes for a very happy household! I'm hoping that over the next few weeks, I just continue to gain energy and not feel like a hog! That way I can get lots of stuff done before this baby graces us with his/her presence!
On another note, I'm pretty much in love with my doctor. I've heard horror stories about women's doctors telling them to gain more weight, lose weight, basically anything surrounding their weight... Well my awesome doctor told me to shoot for a 10-15 lb weight gain during this pregnancy (I wasn't a board to begin with, I know that!) and last time I went to the drs. office, I'd actually lost weight (4 lbs to be exact) and he said that was completely fine. I'm eating fine, my baby is fine, and everything will be fine. One less thing to have to stress out about. I have since put on one of those pounds that I lost, and I plan to stay within .5 to 1 lb a week! And that, is why I'm in love with my dr. For not making me stress about yet another thing during this pregnancy!

Why Hello There... AGAIN...
Welp, I'm sort of back. I really enjoy reading everyone's blogs, and commenting on them some of the time. The problem is, I don't really have a "knack" for writing. To be completely honest, it bores me. And so, writing stories and memories are hard for me. I wish I had more talent, but come on now, I'm an accountant. I clearly know my strengths :-)
I'm going to try and make a conscious effort to blog. Not everyday, that's unrealistic! Maybe not even every week... I mean I think my life is interesting, but in reality, I bet you guys don't get a rat's bum what is going on in my life! But I am going to TRY and put forth the effort of writing things down. I'll let you know how that goes in.... a few weeks!
First... I'm pregnant. No surprise there! Let me rephrase that... I was SHOCKED when we found out we were pregnant, but our family, don't get my wrong, they were excited, but they were almost like... about time. It was funny telling them because they were so excited, yet some even said... well you've been married going on three years, it's about time for babies. It made us laugh.
On a more serious note, I'm so happy that we were fortunate enough to play the "roll the dice" game and get pregnant. I know so many people that struggled to get pregnant, or are still struggling and I actually was scared to tell some of them. We weren't even trying and I felt almost as though they would feel like I was rubbing it in their face. It took me a long time to get over that and be happy for myself and my family. UGH... funny how emotions work, especially those pregnancy hormones.
Then, after I found out I was with child, I felt FINE. For like 3.5 weeks I had to keep taking tests because I still hadn't convinced myself that there was actually a child in there. My friend who is also pregnant right now just kept saying, in a very loving way lol, "I hate you!", "I can't believe you're not sick at all!", "I can't even look at that food, and you're over there LOVING it!"...well have no fear friends... the day AFTER Turkey day (thank goodness!) I got hit with this overwhelming nauseated feeling. Oh and it stuck around until about 2 days before Christmas! I couldn't have planned this better if I tried. I was sick, very sick actually, but the sickness fell between the two big holidays. I was seriously upset because I thought my Christmas dinner would be Cheerios and skim milk!
I'm finally getting over the constant poopy feeling, and I'm just at the random poopy feeling days. Right now, I can't decide whether my child is wreaking havoc on me again, or whether I'm actually coming down with something nasty. Since I can't take anything, I'm going to have to buckle in and enjoy the ride. We'll see what happens next!
Ok, now that I've filled you in on what's been going on in my life over the past few months, and I promise you that is about ALL that has happened. HEHE... Whoever said pregnant women are more in the "mood" lied, I feel like poop everyday after work and that is like almost the last thing I want. My poor husband :-( To finish off this post, I'm going to leave you with a few things I've learned over the past few months about my body, my baby, and everything else!
1. My child wouldn't stay still for the ultrasound and we still haven't heard a heartbeat yet. I already know this child is taking after his/her father.
2. I never knew I could sleep 12 hours a night and still be tired!
3. I have an undying love for Velveeta mac and cheese! My mom is buying it in bulk for me at Sam's Club.
4. I'm stressed out over the daycare/babysitting situation.
5. I pee alot!
6. I'm sick of water and I still have 7 months of pregnancy!
7. This dry spell better end soon, my heart wants to be intimate, my body does NOT!
8. My mom is so excited to become a grandma! She can't get a smile off her face and every conversation we have is about babies, pregnancy, or ends up there!
9. My mom's sisters, aka best aunts in the world are JUST as excited as my mom. I'm the first with children and they can't wait. They want to help with the nursery, shopping, and ANYTHING they can!
10. I can't wait to be well into my second trimester so I can get my hair dyed :-)

I'm BAAACCCKKKK...
Sorry, it's been SO long since I've blogged, and I apologize for that.
I've just had a rough few months and decided that sharing them on the internet wasn't the best thing for me!
That being said, I'm back, and I'm better than ever!
Hopefully I didn't lose ALL my past readers... trust me, you'll want to keep reading!
Change is coming in my life and I can't wait to update you all!
Thanks for reading!

Car Trouble
I seriously have the worst luck ever. Ever since I was driving, I have always taken my own car to get it serviced/oil changed/fix/etc. I don't need someone to hold my hand, and more importantly, I'm always either going somewhere or on my way home from somewhere. My dad always tried to help me out with my car, but I never really needed it... or so I thought.
Well, I was wrong. The first time I took my car to get an alignment, I picked it up at the end of the day, and my car was pulling the OTHER way. I immediately turned the car around and marched back in and told the people. They told me there was no way, and to take it home and have my daddy drive it.
This didn't sit well with me. I'm the one paying, I want you to take another look at my car. After fighting with this ignorant man for a few minutes, I finally got in my car and drove to my dad's work. He drove the car and COULDN'T believe how bad the alignment was. He drove it back to the store and they fixed it immediately. UGH!
Last year, I took my car in for a routine oil change and tire rotation. I did this at one of those quick change places on my lunch break. As I'm sitting in the little room waiting on my car, the techs are tearing apart my car without knowing how to put it back properly. I take the car when they say they are finished and it sounds like the tires are going to fall off. I go back and they ask me "Sweetie, was it making this noise before or after you brought it in?" I almost lost it. They rotated my tires, but in doing so, they knocked a shield of some sort into my tire, so it was rubbing.
Then, yesterday I dropped my car off to get the front end fixed (tie rods and control arms went bad) under warranty. As I'm driving home after picking my car up, I notice that it sounds like I'm dragging something under my car. I pull over on the side of the road and call my husband. He doesn't answer. I call my dad and ask him what the h*** I'm supposed to be looking for, cuz it sounds like my car is about to fall apart. After getting UNDER my car in a parking lot of the Big Lots, I decided to drive the rest of the way home. While I'm on my way though, I call the dealership and tell them I will be bringing my car back in tonight/tomorrow because something isn't right. He asks me if I'm sure this is a NEW sound? Are you kidding me? I'm not a moron. And plus, he drove my car around before and after... did he hear the sound? He couldn't have not heard it, as my neighbor's heard it from inside their house when I pulled in the driveway.
We proceed to have a friend who is a mechanic stop over on his way home from work and take a look. Come to find out, another shield of some sort wasn't correctly replaced and was rubbing against more metal, causing this horrible noise.
Last night, I did something I never thought I'd do...
I handed over my car responsibilities to my husband!
I guess you can't have boobs AND be treated like a human at an autoshop. UGH!

Kind Words
Thank you all SO MUCH for all the kind words from yesterday. My world was literally falling apart right before my eyes. I'm not sure what exactly triggered it, but I was an emotional mess yesterday.
I WAS able to sleep last night, THANK GOD, and I slept like a baby. It was probably one of the best night sleeps I've had in a LONG time! Sometimes I do just need to breathe. I used to work really REALLY hard on not letting things that were out of my control bother me. I've succeeded at not always letting the little things bring me down...
but yesterday...
was a totally different story. And it's so nice to know that you can turn to a group of fabulous people within the blogging community, and get exactly what you need.
Thanks again :-)

WHHHHAAAATTTTT?
It's currently 5:46AM and I have not been asleep since 10:30AM YESTERDAY!
Yeah, read it again if you must. I'm not quite sure how I am going to make it through today at work, but somehow (with lots of caffeine) I'm going to have to!
Ever had one of those nights where your head will. not. shut. up. Well that was last night for me. It started with Joe catching whatever the heck I've had for the past few days and him tossing/turning/coughing to start off my night. No big deal, I've been doing this since Sunday and Joe hasn't complained at all, I can do this! WRONG!
I move to the couch, where after lying there for 2 hours, decide to turn on the tv and watch 2 episodes of Desperate Housewives on the DVR. This brings me to approximately 3AM. I then proceed to call myself off work, thinking there is no way that I can go into work after only a few hours of sleep. Then I proceed to toss and turn and worry about my work. Are you kidding me.
So, here I sit, at 5:49, dressed for work, waiting until I can leave, hit the gas station and McDonald's all before starting work at 7AM.
There are so many things going on in my head right now, I can't even begin to explain. But allow me to try:
- I have this project at work due this next week because my boss doesn't understand the way work actually works, and that you cannot set a deadline 10 minutes after you assign something and expect it to be the way SHE WANTS IT!
- I had a sinus infection that has prevented me from breathing for the past few days. I've literally slept for the past 3 days (and failed miserably at any attempts to be any sort of wife this week!)
- My mom's best friend is dying of cancer. It started with breast cancer and has progressed and is now in her bones. Shes dying a terrible, painful, agonizing death and she's the same age as my mom. It's scary to think it could be my mom in this position.
- Joe is putting in for a new job at his work. Which is great, but becoming very stressful in our house. He's on pins and needles every evening and gets angry at me for asking for anything. I don't know how to let him know that I'm anxious too, without upsetting him. It's my personality to ask questions and be interested in every part of his life!
- My inlaws have planned an entire weekend for Joe's dad and grandpa's birthday, and have yet to tell us about it. I heard about the whole plan from my sister in law and it's very upsetting. My sister's birthday is also this weekend, and my family doesn't expect us to be there, they call us and ask. Now, I've "double booked" us, and my mother in law is not going to take that for an answer. I hate having to divide and conquer when I wasn't wrong in the first place!
- We are going on vacation in like 2 weeks. I don't have everything I want, Joe has lost like 40 lbs so we are going to need to buy him an entirely new wardrobe before we leave, and our money tree hasn't quite matured in the backyard yet.
Am I being crazy? Maybe it's because I've been sick these last few days, but I will be lucky to make it home this evening without having a mental breakdown at work.
Oh, and to top it off, it's nothing compared to what two of my co-workers have gone through in the past year, so I feel like I can't talk about anything at work because I don't want them to feel like I'm trying to make my situations worse when they have faced some pretty serious stuff.
I could really use some help here. Thanks bloggers :-)

It's Official
I’m in love!
I haven’t even touched my nails in approximately two weeks. Last night, I even took off the old nail polish, cleaned up my cuticles and the skin surrounding my nails, and repainted my nails. Without even thinking about biting them!
Ok, so I thought about it, but then I remembered that horrible taste that inhabits my mouth and doesn’t go away. Which leads to ruining all food and drinks that pass through my lips for the next 20 minutes!
This stuff is definitely a God-send. Thank you maker’s of “kick the habit”.
I’m finally starting to see white at the tops of my nails :-)

I LOVE...
I have been a COMPULSIVE nail biter my entire life, and I have never been able to stop it. I've tried everything! The only reprieve I get is when I get my nails done, which becomes rather pricey!
So the other day at Wal-Mart I was parusing the health and beauty aisles and I found this great stuff called "kick the habit". It was only like 2.99 so I thought, what the heck, it can't make my biting any worse (unless of course it ends up tasting like a cupcake or something).
Well, let me tell you. This stuff is great! It recommends you put it on 2 times daily but I rarely put it on more than once every 2 or 3 days. It tastes HORRIFIC! So, I have gone an entire week without biting my nails, or the skin around my nails (another nervous habit!) This could possibly be my savior! Beautiful nails, here I come!
And... I wasn't paid to say any of this, I'm just saying it because it's hopefully going to save my fingers.

Time for A Change
Joe and I have been talking a lot about making some changes in our lives. First, we are attempting to pay down all our debt right now. I haven't purchased a new pair of shoes in like a year... and it's terrible. But, it's SO worth it. Second, I am going to get a second job. I have already signed the paperwork. I feel like I need something else in my life right now. I feel like I need to do something that I thoroughly enjoy, and that I just do for some extra cash in the bank. Joe still drives my two door Honda Civic from high school. Eventually he would like to buy a truck, and I would love for him to be able to do that soon! Third... I'm getting my hair done tomorrow. I've lost almost 15 pounds, and people are starting to notice, so I want to make some more changes :-). And, I'm making a drastic change. I'm not going to tell you what I have planned, but I will show you a before picture, and then show you an "after" picture tomorrow.
Please pray for Joe and I in making these changes in our lives. We are focused and determined to get ourselves on the right feet before we take the next step in our lives (And I'm sure you can figure out what that is :-))
