First Prenatal Appointment

I'm so tired today. I took Sam to school, went to the doctor, picked Sam up from school, did chores around the house, went to the club to swim some laps, went grocery shopping, made dinner, cleaned up from dinner, took out the garbage, put the kids to bed, etc, etc, etc! What was I thinking?! I was tired before all of that! I've also been super sick today. I don't ever throw up when I'm pregnant, but I feel so nauseous!

This morning was my first prenatal appointment. Just lots of paperwork, bloodwork, and pee'n in a cup. But I got all the results back this evening via email and apparently, I'm normal. Isn't that good to know? No really, all my results came back normal. Awesome!

Eating Has Become a Chore

Eating has become a chore. I still want to eat, but NOTHING sounds good, or looks good, or smells good. But if I go too long without eating, I just feel more and more sick. I find myself walking back and forth from looking in the fridge and freezer, to the kitchen cupboards, to the pantry, and back to the fridge and freezer, then to the kitchen cupboards, and back to the pantry again. I do this over and over again--nothing looks good and no new food materializes. I love eating + I hate chores = not a happy camper.

Samantha's Song

Samantha wrote some sheet music today and then sat at the piano and played it. It was so cute!

Left the Milk in the Van

I felt super sick this morning. Didn't barf, but still felt awful! Luckily it went away by the time I had to take Samantha to school. After dropping her off I went to Target to buy some milk. I got home, came inside with Alison, and just now, about 1 1/2 hours later, I remembered that the milk was still in the van. Even though the sun is shinging, it was still pretty cold, so I'm sure it's fine. I'm losing brain cells!

Shower Blackouts

When I'm pregnant, it's really normal for me to blackout in the shower. I think it's the heat. That happened this morning. Luckily, since it's happened before, I know it's happening as it's happening, so I sat down really quickly so I wouldn't fall and threw the curtain open so the air would cool down. It used to happen a lot when I was pregnant with Samantha. I really need the steam for my horrid cough--guess I'll have to figure out another method to get relief.

I got a massage today. My friend Charice gives the best massages! She's got mad skills. I highly recommend her! Seriouly, let me know if you want her contact info.

Spahetti Dinner

Last night was our ward's annual girl's camp fundraiser Spaghetti Dinner. It's really fun and super yummy! After the dinner they have a dessert auction and it's amazing how much people spend on these desserts: $70 for a cake by Lyle, about $150 (or more...I can't remember) for creme brulee by Lyle, $225 for cinnamon rolls by Debi, etc. It's for a great cause, but dang, I so can't afford prices like that. Maybe someday...when we're rich. :)

I can't seem to get over this cough. I'm coughing so much it hurts my head, my throat, my chest, and my abdomen. I can't stop hacking! How do I get rid of this?!?!

Random Ramblings & Warriors Game

It's the Olympics and I keep staying up till midnight so that I can watch the events. What is wrong with me?! I'm already tired and then I think I can stay up super late! Yikes....I'm tired! But on the upside, it was so fun watching with a friend--thanks for coming over!

I can't quite shake this cold that's been lingering for a while now. I just keep coughing and coughing. And when I laugh, I sound like an old lady who's been smoking for the past 50 years. Fun!

Tonight we're taking Samantha to her first NBA game: Golden State Warriors vs Utah Jazz. I'm so excited! It'll be fun!

Park Day

Besides being tired, it's been a pretty easy pregnancy day. I feel pretty good, didn't cry or yell all day, didn't give in to my craving for chocolate fudge brownie ice cream...it's been good. My friend and I took our kids to the park. It was such a nice day and the kids (and mommas) really needed to get out and enjoy the sunshine.

Valentine's Day

We snapped this little impromptu picture right before church on Valentine's Day. I LOVE my family!

I'm Cranky!

I find myself easily irritated lately. Not my usual mad/sad rollercoaster--just irritated. I don't mean to be. I don't want to be. But right now, everyone is irritating me. Please forgive me if I snap at you. I'm trying really hard not to. I think I need some laughs.

Oh yeah and my lower back hurts so much!
