10 Weeks

As of today, I'm actually 10 weeks 3 days. I worked two days so far this week and I didn't feel like I wanted to sleep all day. That's a first in a while. Boobies still hurt like a mofo. Still a little nauseated in the evenings, but otherwise I'm feeling slightly better.

I went and got my hair cut yesterday. 3 inches off! It felt sooooo good. My hair felt so dry and heavy, so it was a definite must.

Here's the chalkboard announcement pic. I wanted to make it cuter, but then I just wanted to get it done. Ha.

As I promised last week, here is my weekly picture! Don't mind the huge bloated belly. I feel ginormous right now....and gross. Can't wait until the pudge turns into a cute baby bump! =)

9 weeks!

Yes! 9 weeks today! This first trimester is taking FOREVER to go by! I just want it to be over with. I want to not be tired all the time. And I just want the peace of mind that Lil' Dub is progressing as he/she should be.

I was lucky to get the day off today. So I've been watching tv, resting, and eating! I feel like I've been eating all day long so far, but still can't stay full! It's ridiculous. In fact, I'm about to go eat again! Maybe some corn flakes and bananas. Yum.

Kee and I went to Babies R Us the other day. We've decided not to buy anything just yet, but it doesn't hurt to look. We got an idea of what we want, and it's just fun to look at all the cool stuff they have for baby. And I realized that I'm a retard when it comes to all that kind of stuff. I haven't really been around babies a lot, but he has growing up and raising his nephew and nieces. It's awesome to see how excited he is and how he is going to take charge in the gadget department. :)

Starting next week I'm going to start taking belly pics, although it doesn't look like baby belly. It just looks like fat, bloated belly, which is how I feel. Which is why I want these next few weeks to go by quickly!! Hurry up already!

What do you do? I make babies.

Yup! That's right. On Dec 9 2011, I peed on a stick and *wham* I'M PREGO! :)

Hubby and I are soooo stoked! After being married for a little over a year, we felt it was the right time to start a family of our own. It's just such an amazing and exciting time.

How am I feeling? TIRED. EXHAUSTED. My new favorite things are afternoon naps. And if you know me, I NEVER take naps. And I like to be in bed by 8, asleep by 9 at the latest. Hubby loves it. Boobs = OUCH! I get a little nauseated, especially in the car if I'm not driving, or in the evenings. I've only thrown up twice...and that's because I got hit hard with a cold on NYE. I was coughing so much I would throw up. NOT fun.

Details? Well, at first I thought our due date was going to be August 13th, but we went to the doctor yesterday and had our first ultrasound. I'm 8 weeks as of yesterday (only a week behind what I originally thought. Not bad) and the new due date is now August 20th. It's a special week because my late grandma's birthday is the 24th. My mom thinks he/she will be born on that day.

So here's Lil' Dub's first photo sesh. Since it's my baby, you know this child is going to be photographed A LOT! ;)

01/09/12: 8 weeks exactly. HR 180 bpm.

I tried to hold out until 12 weeks to make the big announcement. But so far everything looks okay. And if something *GOD FORBID* were to happen, there's nothing we can do about it. So we are enjoying every second of this amazing experience.

Happy 2012

2011 was a good year. Nothing major happened, good or bad. It was just a good year. I have no complaints.

We are still slowly getting the house together.

My parents lost my little Nilo (sad face). In November we did get another little addition, Kai. He's a brat, but we love him.

There was some family drama, but our lives are better without the drama now. I'm sure it will resurface soon.

There are some big changes coming up on 2012. Can't wait for them...=)
