We're gonna have a baby!

This will be our first child.

I am not loving being pregnant. The hormones have been going crazy today. Do to those crazy pregnancy hormones, I hurt one of my friends feelings today, which makes me super depressed and wishing I was only normal again. I have a hard to filtering my thoughts before I say things now...especially when I am feeling lousy.

Today I feel lousy, and I did not sleep very well last night. I woke up with my stomach musles aching, my lower back sore, and my hip shooting pain everytime I take a step. I am falling apart and have no say over what is going on with my body.....which make me upset.

Don't get me wrong, even with all the complaints I am excited to be expecting a baby. I just don't enjoy all the changes.

I am about 11 and a half weeks pregnant. Can't wait to be in the second trimester....everyone says things start to get better.  I just hope my appetite returns. When I think about food I just get nauseas and depressed. Nothing tastes the way it is supposed to anymore.  I don't enjoy my new sense of smell. I liked it when I had to get close to smell things. Now at work I can smell a dirty diaper from the other side of the room, it is so disgusting.

I don't enjoy the mood swings. Why can't you just be normal and pregnant, why does everything have to change, and I mean everything? (not just your wieght....which would be fine if I wasn't so emotional these days)

Wow it has been a long time......

....since I have blogged. I love reading my friends blogs who actually blog regularly. I am amazed by the things that my friends are doing with their lives.

My life is pretty mundane.

Fun times!

Do you remember what is was like to just color with sidewalk chalk, or shoot water guns?

Oh it is good to be a 'kid', if only life could always be carefree and FUN.
Paul and I have a goal to NEVER GROW UP, and today I got to live like a kid for a moment or too.
Another fun time was singing with the toddlers this afternoon, it was enjoyable and the kids had fun too.

I guess being a kid isn't always fun or carefree. As an adult I forget the moments when life as a kid wasn't so fun, which I suppose is the way it should be. No one wants to remember the not so fun times.

Those fun little moments that happen during the day are cherished and sometimes rare in every day routines. I am glad that I had some good fun times today.

Exercising Fun

We are now memebers of the YMCA, so we went and used the gym. It was great.

A little exercise makes for a good nights rest.

30 minutes on the ecliptical machine is brutal for someone like me who hasn't worked out forever.

Going Crazy...

I think I am going crazy. I just don't understand why things have to be done the way they are.

Have you ever felt under appreciated? Well that is part of my life right now. Sometimes I am tired of being overlooked and ignored and treated like I am completely stupid.
I feel like I am being walked all over in one area of my life which I am not going to be specific about because I don't trust people right now.

So I hate planning and hoping for things because they never seem to work out for me. I am waiting to findout about something but I have a feeling that I am just going to be disappointed.

Why does life have to be full of disappointments?

ugh...

Sunday Fun

Well on Sunday I usually sew, talk to family and sometimes read good books. Along with that is Church and meetings. Today I was working on a project that my mom gave to me because she was having a hard time seeing what could be done with the fabric which is very bright and busy. I like bright busy fabrics more than my mom so the challenge was exciting for me. I finished the top of the baby quilt (useing the bright and busy fabrics) and now it is ready for the finishing touches, but unfortunately I do not have any fabric large enough for the backing or that would match. So this project is going to be sent on to my dear sister Jennifer (who doesn't know it is coming yet, unless she is reading this) and she can have the joy of finishing it, which shouldn't be to difficult. (love ya sis).
Last weekend I finished a quilt for Mama Michie. It was nice to see the quilt completed. It turned out pretty nice looking. It feels good to complete a quilt. All the hard work pays off when you can see how it turned out. Now I need to finish the family round robin quilt that I participated in a few years back. I am still working on it. I could have it done soon if I really pushed myself but we shall see how it goes.

Can't believe its Feb.

Well January has gone and now it is February. The days move by fast these days.

Nothing new has happened in our lives.

We just keep plugging along, keeping busy with our jobs and church assignments.

Right now we are reading together in our free time, which is very enjoyable.
