Pros and cons of pregnancy... Well my pregnancy

So as I was lying on the couch in our family room with my head pounding uncontrollably, my back hurting to the point that it feels like I can't walk let alone get up off the couch and my stomach telling me that it's hungry, but don't you dare feed me anything because you'll end up running to the bathroom 15 minutes later throwing up what ever you decided to feed me. (great run on sentence, I know, but I don't care) Anywho, so as I lay there with the above happening to me I start thinking about the pros and cons of being pregnant. *** I do realize this will be different for every other pregnant female out there so just listen and try to see my side** Pro: I get to see my little girl in 154 days Con: I have been sick every day since about week 5 Pro: I officially get to be a momma Con: I can't sleep very well already, and I'm still not showing Pro: I get to watch my wonderful husband be the best daddy in the whole entire world. Con: I worry all the time if my baby is doing ok and if there is anything that I am doing to make her not ok. Pro: Baby in 154 days! Con: I have a headache almost all day long every day. A bad enough headache that the only relief is putting ice packs on my forehead, my eyes and the back of my head. Pro: ummm I have run out other than the precious gift I will receive in 5.5 months Con: I don't have a belly and all I look is FAT! Heck let me just list the cons because I am being a pessimist right now..... My back hurts so bad that sometimes it feels like that if I took a step my pelvis will crack in half. I have scary/weird dreams every time I sleep that I am paranoid about everything which makes me super stressed out. I cry for no reason and people think I'm crazy. I have no desire to get ready and look like a decent human being when I have to be in the outside world. I am hot all the time. I have hot flashes so bad that it feels like I am going to faint more often than not. OK so the list goes on a on. I guess I needed to vent because I'm sick not feeling normal and everyone telling me it's normal what I'm feeling. I don't ever remember hearing about women and how miserable they are the ENTIRE time they are pregnant. I have been told that the second trimester is the fun and easy one. LIARS!! AND... All those women out there that say that they love being pregnant and that it's a breeze well let me tell you that you can go to you know where! In case you were wondering the post is brought to you by lack of sleep, constant headache, and 6th day in a row of graveyard shifts. That's all! Hopefully next post will be better and more uplifting.

The Verdict!

Well the verdict is in, and we will be needing a lot of PINK monkeys! YAHOOO!! I'm so excited to have a little girl! Both grandmas are ecstatic since they both got their wish. It's going to be so fun for the entire family since this will be the first girl on both sides. She is going to be SPOILED!!! I'm very excited to meet my baby! Dad is very excited too! He is going to be surrounded by pink!

MONKEY!!!

So I have to start out this post by saying that I am excited, nervous, and upset at the same time. I'm excited because as you can tell there are monkeys on our page now. This is because we are going to officially have our very own little monkey that is coming to us in January. I am very excited to officially be a mommy! I am also very nervous at the same time to be bringing this little life into the world, and not knowing if I truly know a single thing about taking care of a child long term.

As for the reason why I'm upset is because I really didn't want to plan on telling the entire world (including my work) that we were expecting until after our appointment that we are having tomorrow to make sure that everything is ok and to find out the sex. Of course this didn't happen because someone that broke every bit of trust and respect that I had for them and decided to tell the work gossiper that I was pregnant.... Which in turn means that now my entire work knows!!!! I feel that this wasn't something that this certain person should of had any right to say anything to anyone whether I was the one that told them, or they overheard me or someone else talking about it!! OK OK I'm done venting about this.

Back to the good news! So as of right now I am still dealing with the morning sickness. It's more if the all day sickness, but it is subsiding. It used to be so bad that even when I would take the Zofran I would still be nauseated, but was able to keep the food that I choked down. Now when I take the Zofran it makes my nausea go away completely. YAY!!!!

I have felt baby flutters here and there, but I'm still not far enough along to feel any significant kicking. We have heard baby's heartbeat two times now, and the Dr. said that baby sounds great! That is a relief to hear because I still have weird fears and off the wall dreams quite often that scare me pretty bad. It's ok because Brock has some dreams too. HA HA Dad's having pregnancy dreams too!! Anywho, the monkey theme on out blog is also what we will be decorating baby's room in whether it's a boy or girl. I have found some super cute boy and girl monkey bedding which makes me very excited to start decorating baby's room after we find out what baby is TOMORROW!!!

More to come! Tune in later for more updates :D

M.I.A

I have been caught in quite a blunder today. I got to work today to realize that I forgot my phone which is my time passer here when I am bored. Then my next thought was I didn't bring a single thing to do. Therefore you now will have a new post from me since my brain creatively thought that I should do this to pass this very slow work day. Anyway, you might say that I have been nowhere to be seen since well.... my last update. This is true I haven't even gotten on here to see if I received any wonderful comments from my loving followers... Which BTW I did find out that people did comment on my last post... sad, I know. My SIL started talking to me about this person's blog that I totally should have known about since she posted it on here, but low and behold I obviously had a puzzled look on my face whenst she was telling me about this so-called blog.... yeah I think she kinda thought that I was a blogging loser since I hadn't been on for... lets say a short while to make me feel better. Alright so what have we been up to lately.... Everything actually. We went to LP at the first of June, and had so much fun there. We took Kloee with us since we really didn't want to leave here with friends again. I think that she loved it a little too much (at times). We would put her little life jacket on her and she would go 'sploring' all over the little island that he first had the house boat docked. She loved chasing all the lizards into the water too. The weather there was perfect! Not too hot, and the water wasn't too cold. The only bad part was the trying to sleep at night when the wind was blowing. 3 of the 4 nights were O.K., but the second to last night was terrible, and Kloee let me know the entire night that she was "uncomfortable MOM!!". It was fine since I am such a light sleeper anyway I was awake the entire night with her. Any who, it was great to be with Brock's entire family (minus the Elder) and go on adventures with them. Pictures may come later... The end of June was a blast as well. We got Brock's mom and my dad the best birthday presents ever! (pictures coming in a few weeks) They loved them and so did the rest of both families. The 4th was filled with parades, fireworks and carnivals. FUN FUN FUN!!! Since the 4th was on Sunday this year we spent the night over at Brock's parents house so that we could get up and go to the parade in the morning. I have decided that I have issues sleeping if it's not my own bed or my own house. I didn't sleep very well, and consequently wasn't in the mood for the parade. I, being a good sport went anyway, and sat in my chair staring blankly into the parade. Oh well I heard that I didn't miss much. :) Well I believe that brings us up to the present day. Lets hope that I can keep these blogs to a minimum in the future. :)

What to do. What to do

So now that I am graduated I find myself sitting and pondering many things in my life. Brock catches me staring off into space, and I'm sure he thinks that I'm going crazy. I think a lot about how my life has "happened". Where things fall into place, and where I'm going next. These thoughts usually come and go a million miles an hours through my brain, and I even have a hard time keeping up sometimes. Brock tells me that he wouldn't want to be in my brain because he wouldn't know where to even begin to understand what is happening in it. ha ha oh well.

So as of right now I have been doing a lot of pondering on whether I should sign up to finish my other three classes for medical school, or wait to see if Brock finds a job out of state and we have to move. I really don't want to up and move in the middle of the semester, but that's all that I can think about when I want to register for classes next semester. Oh well I guess I'll still have to ponder on that one.

I also have been spending a lot of time reading books that don't have to do with anything medical of chemical. This has been nice. I had no idea that there were so many good books out there ;).

Well back to pondering....
