Week 27 - So yeah, I'm pregnant

There are days I'm walking down the street, or laying in bed, or just randomly doing my thing - and then I think - crap, I'm pregnant. I'm going to have a freakin' baby here in just over 10 weeks. How the heck did that happen?!?! (Yes, I know how it happened, thank you!)

I don't know if it'll ever become real. I wonder if moms ever look at their kids and go, "I made that?!?!"
Maybe it's just me.

It's been an interesting week. My appetite has gone up DRAMATICALLY. I gained 9 lbs in a month. So much for slow and steady. It's probably the first time during this pregnancy that I'm actually worried about gaining weight. Oh well, that's what happens when you're pregnant right?

I'm going to be working from home next week! I was really anxious about it a month ago, but now I'm really excited. I think this will be a really good opportunity for me to settle into a routine of cooking dinner and stuff. I know it's not much for some of you, but it's a huge start for me!

Someone at work (who I have never spoken to) asked me the other day when I was due. This is a really risky move on her part since she had no idea whether or not I'm actually pregnant! Kudos for her courage, and I'm relieved for her that I actually am pregnant. Imagine if I wasn't?! Have you ever had a moment like that?

I got myself my first business gig on my own doing some marketing stuff for a company. Not that the other business stuff doesn't count, but this one doesn't involve Bryan at all, so this should be interesting! I'm pretty excited about it, and I hope I can live up to their expectations! Wish me luck :)

Nothing too funny today - I had all these stories I wanted to tell you earlier this week. I really should start writing them down. (sigh)

Maybe I'll do another post this week when my brain remembers.

13 more weeks to go - 13! Geesh!

Humbled by a Contest

About 18 months ago, Bryan and I went through some challenges in our relationship. We were at a point where we were deciding to stay together or separate amicably. It was both a chaotic and peaceful time for us. Chaotic about the unknown, but so much peace that no matter what happened at the end, we had nothing but love for each other. In the midst of it all, I had read about 8 books in 2 months to keep me occupied in the chaos. Then I stumbled onto a book that changed me.  It was a book on my wish list for the past 10 years. Yes, 10 years. And I am not sure what prompted it, but I finally bought the book. I won't go too much into Conversations with God. You can get it and read it if you'd like. It was exactly what I needed at that moment (isn't that always the way?). It gave me the peace I needed to let go of whatever ideas I had about our marriage. And from there, Bryan and I demolished what was, and built something new. A shift happened that I finally truly learned t

And Here He Is...

I haven't had much time to think about writing because well, juggling 3 kids takes up a lot of time! I'm sitting here with maybe 5 minutes to spare before the baby will need attention again, so I better get to typing quick! Each pregnancy has been so different. With Mackenzie, I was miserable for the first 22 weeks with morning sickness, and then I felt like I could be pregnant forever! With Bryanna, I was miserable for the entire 39 weeks. I could not wait for her to get out! With this one, I was miserable for the first 20 weeks with morning sickness, and then great for 17 weeks, and then the last 3 weeks...well, let's just say there were some tears. With it being one of the hottest summers, I could not wait for this baby to get out! Plus the inconvenience of not being able to pick up the girls when I wanted to, or bend down to give them a kiss - I just wanted to be mobile again! So when my first consistent contractions came I was so excited. We even took one last wa

Week 36 - Almost Cooked!

Or as my friend Tara would put it - almost marinated. Baby can come anytime now, but could use 4 more weeks of baking (or at least I could use it). The sleepless nights have begun. I'm feeling more and more uncomfortable as I walk, sleep, and eat. I can only walk so much before I'm out of breath. It takes me a minimum of an hour to fall asleep. And well, I'm feeling pretty nauseous these days, so food is to a minimum. All this is preparing me for when the baby comes, I can't wait! (note sarcasm) Had my baby shower this past weekend and it was great! The ladies in charge did a great job decorating and a lot of people made it out, which was awesome. We bought our first baby item this week - a playpen from Babies R' Us (it was 40% off, I couldn't resist!). Next up on the list is a stroller. STILL trying to figure that out. On top of that, I'm now on the hunt for cloth diapers. Do we just buy the package deal now, or buy a few to try it out to see if we even
