A whole lotta nothin.

Life is the same. No news worth posting here.

We did celebrate our 3rd anniversary yesterday. Some friends had made plans with Ash when I was gone and he had forgotten that it was our day, so we just did dinner with them and didn't mention it. The couple should have slightly remembered, the guy was the best man and all.

Seattle had it's hottest day on record ever at 104 degrees, which is crazy considerig just three years ago it was 63 and windy when we tied the knot (outside of all places).

As far as the pregnancy goes, everything seems to be steadly the same. I was and am experiencing some cramping that comes with over exertion. So much so that I emailed swoon doctor and had to get some reassurance that the world wasn't ending. He seems to think that everything is a-ok unless I have bleeding too....knock on wood that it won't happen.

While I was on my trip, Ash endured the record breaking temps and managed to find the colors I had wanted for paint in the bedroom and surprised me with a item crossed off our pre-baby checklist. Awesome.

Things left to do:
Landscape
Painting downstairs
Hardwood floors
New drapes
New bedding
Stuff on walls
Bathrooms remodeled

All this before we start on a nursery!

Some practice

As I have traveled down to Texas to visit with my new nephew, I can't help but feel like I don't know what to do when a baby cries. Because I'm pregnant, the jet skis and wake boarding that fill most of this trip are out, so I have gotten to spend more time just hanging out with danger.

When he cries, I don't have a clue on what I should be trying to do for him or how to fiqure out what might be the reason behind the cry.

So much to learn.

Safe and sound

Made it to Texas. It's nice to get together with friends and family. I haven't seen some of my aunts & cousins in four years, so it has already started out as a wonderful trip.

I was told I'd definitely get the start of morning sickness on the plane ride, but alas, I did not! It's funny that I just want one more symptom to appear to make me feel like this is going ok, but when I get that one symptom.. I'm going to want another one! Oh the irony!

Great post never made it....thanks blogger!

Seriously. This is pissing me off. I had written a long post about things and how they were going, and fuckty fuck fuck...it didn't make it. But ironically, this one probably will. I don't have the energy to remember what I had written, but it went something like this:

-symptoms still the same.
-I am not getting anything accomplished lately.
-I have not yet created all of my odc lists of things to complete before a baby arrives, and this is unlike me.
-trying to stay positive and keep that positive energy flowing, maybe all of this will end up as a live baby.

No news here.

Still cramping (and damned near freaked out about it constantly) and still not "feeling" pregnant.

I wish I had nausea or an ultrasound to help me curb this "isn't happening" feeling. So far the only sign I have experienced is tighter pants, which could be explained by my actually eating throughout the day instead of a one meal plan I was on prior. Not that I was actually trying to only eat one meal, it's just I was never hungry. Now. I get hungrrrrry.

There is so much to do around here, I wanted to get the house the way I wanted it before we got pregnant but I never would get around to doing any of it. There are walls to paint, furniture to buy, and stuff up on the walls (I know these are not requirements for a baby, but I know we'll never do any of it after).

After my trip this weekend to visit my new nephew, the one born last month, I think I will actually start to work on this whole "life changing in 8 months" countdown.

A beating heart

I just read that as of yesterday, my bug has a beating heart. Even though he's just the size of a grain of rice!
It's hard to imagine but we are a crazy species!

Damned blogger app

I've written 5 other posts this week that you never saw. In my app they all look great but if I didn't save and then view the blog to make sure it posted, good chances it didn't. Oh course these blog post took forever to write so here's the briefing cause I'm too pissed to rewrite them all!

- new appt - yahhhh! First ultrasound is on august 10th now! I am super excited!
- first wave of nausea - looking at a jello shot.
- only real symptoms - boobs and peeing, oh and some crazy lightning bolts of pain down my back.
- already need a belly band - my pants are starting to have that "these are seriously a size too small" look.
- wishing I could get rid of my cat, she is driving me crazy and the shear amount of animal hair in the house is giving me the hibbie jibbies.
