I have been absent... now I have returned.

Greetings! I am returning from a hiatus. Well, not really a hiatus, just a lapse in typing. Either way, here I am. Most of you already know, but I am "with child". Yikes, that sounds seriously scary. However most of the terms that refer to a woman being pregnant are on the the list of words that I don't like, and that I hate hearing. For instance, I HATE: Preggo, Preggers, and PG. YUCK. Yes, I am pregnant. Excited, scared to death, and dying with anticipation to find out whether my little shrimp is a Prince or a Princess... However scared I may be, I am getting more excited by the day. This truly is the most surreal experience of my life. I can't believe this stage of life is here!

I know ultrasound photos are only exciting to those who are pregnant, and those who have had children. Either way, here is my little shrimps first photo.


Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 15 weeks
Size of baby: the baby is about the size of a lemon!
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained 2.5lbs
Maternity Clothes: I wear maternity jeans and pants, however they slip down which is annoying...
Gender: We get to find out in 4 weeks!!
Movement: Nothing yet...
Sleep: ehhh, I sleep ok... I have been having this odd sciatic nerve pain in my legs, not digging that...
What I miss: I know this is terrible, but I miss beer. Not that I am big drinker, but I just want a Corona.
Cravings: Nothing really yet, during my first trimester I craved potatoes?? odd I know!
Symptoms: Heartburn, bleck!!! Not fun. Also headaches that last 1+ days...



Ok, enough baby stuff :-) I had an odd thought, so I wanted to throw it out there. My senses are superman like lately, so naturally my sense of smell is supersonic. Most of this time what I smell makes me gag (milk, raw meat, etc....) However, yesterday I washed my face with Clean and Clear cream cleanser. While my eyes were closed I was instantly transported back to middle school. It is truly strange how a smell can trigger a memory so strong it is almost like you are there.

That is all my lovelies. Thank you for bearing with my absence. I will try to be more frequent!
