Pregnancy update

Today marks 19 weeks pregnant. Almost half way there. Wahoo. Things are good. Less anxiety, choosing happiness and calm. The baby is moving more regularly and that certainly helps with the anxiousness. Next week we go for the important second trimester screening. That means an hour with the baby via ultrasound technology. I am looking forward to that so much. It is nice to spend time checking out  what the baby is doing in there and check out all the major organs and other good stuff. We have elected to find out the sex of the baby. We are going to ask the technician to write it on a piece of paper and only hubby will get to see it. He will decide if he shares with the moms (who are invited to this ultrasound). Then for Christmas one of my gifts will be the reveal. We are excited. We have already started having the all important name conversation. It is so much harder than I expected it to be. Of course we had names picked out last time and they were perfect. It adds a whole level of choosing the right name.
Here is my list of pregnancy ups and downs.

• My nose is congested all the time.
• I love talking and humming and singing to the baby.
• My boobs are huge and itchy.
• There is no other feeling in the world than feeling the baby kick and move.
• Hormones are a bitch. Literally.
•  The ups list is harder to come up with because it is mostly genuine happiness.

K Peeps. Hope you have a great weekend.

Thanksgiving

My week of thanks! With Thanksgiving less than a week away (TOMORROW!) I am dedicating my blog to giving thanks. Maybe not the most conventional list but things I am thankful for nonetheless.

Today I am thankful for an office full of amazing folks that bring sweet treats to share on this Wednesday. I am grateful especially for Beverly who is willing to share her skim milk with me for my coffee (decaf) fix. I am grateful also for Kate who brought DELISH dirt bombs that she is sharing with the office. I most grateful that I have lunch plans with two awesome office mates and then we will get to leave early for the loong weekend.
Hope you all have a great day.

My week of thanks! With Thanksgiving less than a week away I am dedicating my blog for the next few days to giving thanks. Maybe not the most conventional list but things I am thankful for nonetheless.


I am thankful... super duper thankful for maternity pants. I already have this belly that just doesn't fit into anything else. I am wearing regular pants today and it will be the last. I am so uncomfortable. Maternity pants have this great elastic panel that fits over anything and helps you feel all in one place.

I am super duper grateful for streaming music on the internet. I mean really what did we do before this was the norm? I am a consumer all day long!!!  I love that it is free, too. Wahoo. Not many cool things are free anymore. The only downfall that I see is the liberties that they take with the music that they say is connected somehow to the music that I have chosen to listen to.
I mean really who am I kidding. I am super grateful for all free things on the internet and all the free apps on my ipad. I am a cheapo that only goes for the free ones. But there are some great free website and apps out there people. Why pay?

I am thankful for my free education. For as much as I bitch that the classes are annoying and I hate going, I am pretty lucky and I know it. Now trying to get it done in the 7 years that they allow is going to be the challenge. Don't laugh. You might think that is an easy feat I tell you, at the rate I am going, this person growing inside me might join me as I graduate.
