This week :) :(

This week has been bitter sweet. Like I had mentioned in an earlier post my better half would be leaving me for a week to go soak up the rays in Mexico. Well..... it turned out it is a lot harder than I was expecting. Given its only 8 days and I know some people go months and even years without seeing their loved one (definately not my thing and happy to know I will never have to do that), but I have gained such a greater appreciation for everything that Kris does while he is home.

He :

-greets me whenever I walk in with a big kiss
-listens to me whine when I don't feel good and goes out of his way to find something that will help
-watch my ridiculous shows with me and actually begin to like them
-go with me on late night food runs
-listen to me vent when something doesn't go my way
-cuddle me at night when I am cold and can't warm up
-hold my hand when I sleep so I know that he is by my side
-run errands with me
-vacuums (this became a big deal this week on account of I found like two baby spiders galavanting on our carpet)
-eats my meals even when they don't turn out good
-will drive me to my destination when I don't feel like driving
-at the end of his long day tell me everything that happened (yes, I love hearing all the little details about his day)
-lets me ramble on about all the little things I want to get for our baby
-listens to my worries and reassures me that we are going to be just fine.. not fine. GREAT!
-Does little gestures with his nephew that make me see how amazing of a dad he is going to be to our munchkin
-will let me be my stubborn self and usually cave first on things

Needless to say I miss him and am only three nights away from having him by my side again!

On another note I have gotten A LOT done this week. I have been with Jade almost everyday running errands and having a blast going on adventures. We are going on a shopping date tomorrow to get some new fall clothes:) I got some of our wedding pictures printed so now every time we walk in our cute little apartment we will get to think back to our special day. One of my best friends and her hubby have been helping me redo some of our apartment. I have became obsessed with spray painting! (I wear a mask so baby anderson won't have three fingers, but if he/she did I would love those three little fingers:) ). I have been cleaning, scrubbing, and washing. On saturday I plan on taking the day off and spending some time with my family watching the Utah game:) Then Sunday I get to pick up kristoffer blaine! All in all a bitter/sweet week, but thanks to my amazing friends and family it has been a fun one:)

Baby update: We go in three weeks to find out the gender and as of monday I will be four months! Time is flying with this pregnancy and I am getting so excited for the day I get to hold my munchkin in my arms. Both grandmas are counting down too:)

Emotional.

Forgot to add in the last post. Anything can make me cry these days. Up to date I have cried over a million different songs, tv shows (greys anatomy, up all night, and the biggeset loser), kris smirking at my pot belly, flowers sitting on the table, a clean apartment, going on a drive.... and anything else that has any sort of sentimental feeling to it. Kris deserves an award to handle my up and down moods, but thats what they are there for:)

First trimester.... CHECK!!!

You were great.... but not that great!

  The first trimester consisted of.....

-The biggest part. Finding out our blessing in disguise when the test came back positive:)
-After a couple weeks of panic/shock realizing it is a blessing
-Getting to announce it to our friends and family
-Seeing the little lima bean sized baby on the ultrasound and hearing the heartbeat
-Realizing that humans can at times have a better sense of smell than dogs
-The bathroom floor isn't that bad of a place to hangout
-Smelly candles. No scent will smell good to a pregnant woman after more than an hour (50 dollars later)
-My husbands nose can take ALOT.
-Pregnancy glow. HUGE myth. I have broke out too many times to count worse than my middle school days. I have a happy trail that is comparable to Kris's. I shave and the hair grows back in a day. Skin is blotchy.
-Being called a drunk teenager when I had to throw up in a garbage can in a hotel lobby because the bathroom was out of my reach.
-My dads pot belly and mine are starting to look very similar
-Some days are just better spent in bed doing nothing

It was an exciting 13 weeks, but was very ready to be on to the next one. So far.. a week into the second I have been plagued with headaches. Also, doesn't help I may or may not be addicted to Dr.Pepper and am really trying to go off of it. The doctors advice for headaches. Drink a coke and take a tylenol (the only medication approved for pregnancy). Sooooo that backfired, but oh well:) I can feel my belly growing over night. I have yet to purchase fat pants so if you see in the next couple weeks and notice my pants are unbuttoned (possibly unzipped) don't judge. I will try to post a pic of the baby bump soon:)

-**and the  most exciting one.. I start water aerobics on tuesday with another prego friend. It will be an adventure in itself due to the fact I am an awful swimmer. Get winded walking up stairs (not due to the baby, but I am JUST that out of shape), and cant go underwater without plugging my nose. On the hunt for a good looking one piece or tankini so any suggestions let me know!

Well.... that is it for now! Going shopping with Jade this week sometime and will finally be able to breathe when sitting down in some nice stretchy band waist pants. If they are comfy enough I may just wear them after too:)  Will post a picture soon when the bump gets a little bigger;)
Also, for my friends who have style and can actually put clothes together and make them look cute. Please help me to look as cute as this girl when I am big bellied...http://www.thedaybookblog.com/. I am obsessed with her clothes and she makes them look better than people who are not 35 pounds overweight!

Happy Weekend! Looking forward to family time. Dreading sending my hubby off on a cruise for a week. Bitter sweet weekend, but know he will have a blast and hopefully bring back a souvenir;) See ya!
