Pregnancy Update

So here are some the weird/funny/sad but true things that have been happening to me since I have become pregnant.

1. I have mastered the art of eating a whole pint of ice cream in one setting. (Ted calls me an ice creamivore.)

2. I have cried over spilt tuna.

3. I realized I do not like when borderline strangers come up and pat my belly OR ask me if I have "a baby or something cookin' in there."

4. I have cried over underdone brownies.

5. I have narrowed down my wardrobe to 3 pairs of pants.

6. I have cried over someone sticking their finger in a pan of raw brownies, and therefore getting batter on the side of the pan, which then makes them imperfect!! (no, but seriously..)

7. I have craved nachos and fettucine alfredo at the same time, and made a request to have a sampling of both, in which I would only want the fettucine IF it came with bread sticks...(that whole scenario did not turn out well).

8. I have cried over a movie, TV show, book, song and more.

9. I have made it part of my morning routine to check for stretch marks (they are a curse in my family).

10. I have cried over having to sleep in a caboose with the nearest bathroom 100 yards away.

11. I have realized the need for a full 9 hours of sleep.

and

12. I rub, pat, tickle, talk and pay attention to my belly more than I ever have before. And so does Ted.


As you can see...I have cried a lot. But these episodes of crying usually only last a minute or two, especially if Ted is there to rescue me by making me laugh.

One of his favorite sayings lately is, "Man, you are PREG-NANT!" and then, "Don't worry Pregs, it's just _____________." And then he fills in the blank about whatever I am crying about. And, then most of the time I feel silly for crying in the first place and we end up laughing about it while tears are still streaming down my face.

So, 6 days until the big day of finding out what the little baby is. Here are our guesses:

Me: Boy
Ted: Girl

We will have to see! It does not matter though, we are just so happy to have a little baby on the way!

PICTURES!

Okay, so I got really excited when I got home from work and I decided to upload some pictures. I also realized how lame and boring my blog looked. So here is a sampling. :) Enjoy!

Pre-Baked Apple Pie that I made in September

and...voila! A yummy homemade apple pie made by chef Sarah. Her first ever!

Here is one of our favorite ornaments on our tree. On the back it has our wedding date.

Here is our pretty tree. We had so much fun decorating it.
The roses are from my dad for graduating.

The Kitchen. Very white, yet very functional. It will be remodeled before we move someday.

Here me in my grad garb. A very fun morning, with a fun family lunch after!
Me and my hubby.

Izabella and then Olivia, my neices. My sister likes to take fancy pics of them. :)

Okay, that's all for now. :)
