The Joys of being prego..


As I sit here enjoying the free minute I have now that classes are over, and finals are starting I decided I needed to document a few things about this pregnancy that I haven't yet, so here goes...
-Luckily I did not get morning sickness, i got night sickness. So not fun. I would throw up every night. JK once said, "it sucks that you get sick, but if you were going to get sick I hoped it would be in the morning while I was at working so that you were in a good mood when I got home." poor guy.
- Every ultra sound we've had  our little man has been measuring big, maybe that means he will be early :)
- I have had 6 ultra sounds so far which I absolutely loved! I went to my 24 week ultra sound last week and it was the first one without an ultra sound and man it was so not as cool. Getting weighed, and seeing how much my belly has grown was not that fun.
- Every time I hear his heart beat my heart melts for this little man. 
- I suck at cooking now, I really do feel bad for JK. I have even stopped baking for the most part which is odd for me. 
- I could sleep like 15 hours a day and still be tired. 
- I have to pee constantly, but when I go I swear only like two drops come out. 
- After about week 14 night sickness got better which was the best ever. 
- Not being able to sleep on my stomach is rough, but luckily I got a nice body pillow that has helped me to be comfortable. 
- I love salads, but lettuce does not sit well with me, but I still eat it anyways.
- LOVE when JK puts his hand on my belly.
- I have super nose now. Everything stinks to me.
- I was doing pretty good for awhile with not being grumpy and moody, but apparently the past two weeks it has returned.
- My first mental breakdown: JK wouldn't give me any ideas of what to make for dinner, and nothing sounded good so I just started bawling. JK ended up eating something out of the freezer and I made cookies, of course by the time I finished making them they didn't sound good so I didn't eat a single one.
- Second mental breakdown: I was supposed to bring a treat to the youth in the ward who came and helped clean the chapel on sunday, but we didn't get home until late and didn't want to be baking all night so I started bawling once again. JK just kept telling me that we can go to the store and just buy something, but i am so weird and do not like to buy pre-made treats so I just threw a little fit. In the end JK was right and we went and bought some ice cream treats and everyone loved them. 
- I finally felt him move for the first time and oh man it is the most amazing thing in the world.
- I have the worst heartburn EVER! 
- I have started to realize how hot this summer is going to be with a large belly.
- When we found out it was a boy he somehow got the name of "Fred" so for now that is his name, but that will NOT be his name when he is born.
- Most importantly We love this little boy more than anything in the world and cannot wait to meet him!

March 2012

I am still just terrible at keeping up on the blog but with out lives changing so fast lately I know I need to document these times. To start off March we headed down to Vegas for a good ol' white trash weekend of Nascar with JK's parents. It was so much fun as always. Probably one of the best places to people watch! My favorite part of the day was the fact that I got a funnel cake which I had been craving! YUMM!! Another fun event that we were able to attend was the blue angels which I think that the entire city of st. George attended. It was a blast to be able to spend time with the family
