Baby bedding!

Troy and I finally(well, not really finally...I'm only almost 3 months along) picked out some bedding for the baby's crib...and well, a theme for the nursery. Being our first, I'm fully determined to go all out for this baby. Might as well while we can!

It's Wendy Bellissimo's "Bee Happy" from Babies R Us...

Just a quick post...

With some pictures of the baby!

Here's the big picture. The baby is upside down, and you can even see a little arm sticking out!!!

In this picture, the baby is upside down. The head is at the bottom, and the butt is at the top. You can faintly see the amniotic sac, almost like a halo around the baby.

Holy Heartburn, Batman!

Well...I finally found out what a killer case of heartburn can do to somebody.

I made a delicious pot roast last night. About 8:30, I decided I would go to bed early, I was tired and wanted to get a good start to the week. As soon as I laid down, I had the most horrid pain between my shoulder blades. I knew what it was--heartburn--and I also knew if I didn't get up and go to the store, I wouldn't ever sleep.

So I went and got some Zantac and TUMS(while my husband was blissfully snoring away), and took those. NOTHING helped. It was horrible. I finally made myself go to bed around 11. I just propped some pillows up, and found that if I didn't swallow, it wouldn't hurt so bad.

I've still got it just a tad this morning...but I've learned my lesson! No more big heavy meal! And ALWAYS have Zantac on hand!

In exciting news, I got to have an ultrasound on Friday, to check to makes sure the little alien is in the right place! It was so exciting! You can't really see much, it looks like a little UFO. But it's definitely there! Woo-hoo!!!!

It's been a while....

But I figured I would start fresh.

Troy and I found out last week that we're pregnant again. We've been trying for over a year now, and had a miscarriage in April of '07.

Everything seems to be going fine so far, according to bloodwork. We are cautiously due on June 5th of 2008. I have my first appointment on Tuesday, October 2nd, with my first ultrasound being around the end of October. I will probably have that scheduled tomorrow at work.

I'm feeling ok. I'm CONSTANTLY thirsty, as if I'm always out in a desert. I have been feeling very fatigued. I've had a few touches of nausea, and some cramping. My boobs are rediculously sore, and are already getting bigger(sigh). Other than that, I'm just EXCITED!!!!

Just some pics

Gravity...

So work has finally gotten to the point where I'm getting stressed. For some reason that I can't explain, I guess I just never thought it would get stressful. I love my job, don't get me wrong. I know I'm still new there and all, but I'm just completely overwhelmed. There's too much to do, and not enough time, even though I stay late after everyone has left, every single day. I never take a lunch break.

I tried to talk to my boss about, but she said something about how I was new, and all that...I don't think she gets it. The midwife I work for agrees--we've got too much on our plates.

But anyway. Enough about work.

Everything else is just, unsettling right now. I'm going through one of those phases again I guess where I'm plain un-content, if that's a word. Nothing feels right. I'm unhappy about my weight(I had lost some, then packed it back on with work freaking me out), unhappy about our house and the state it's in, just unhappy, I guess.

Troy and I have talked about moving...not anytime real soon, but back to where I went to high school. Housing is much cheaper there than it is here, and the schools are far better. It's just a big change...and Troy is from this side of the state. I would worry he'd be miserable over there. But I worry that I'll be miserable staying here. I'm not now, but I can see the potential to be.

I guess I really shouldn't complain. Things are pretty decent right now. I should be happy about that and forget about the rest. I guess that's just how life goes though. Always going through phases of crap.

Yeah, so I...

Totally suck. Big time.

I honestly can't believe that I haven't posted on here since November. Freakin' November.

I got a new car.

I got a job.

I graduated from nursing school(yes, in that order).

After trying for 8 months, I finally got pregnant, and then had a miscarriage. That was sad.

I'm happy it's summer. I get to drive with the top down in my new car.

My shoulders and nose are NOT happy that it's summer. They're a bit red.

That's about it. For now anyway. Oh yeah, I lost 6 pounds. Hopefullly that number will keep getting bigger over the next few weeks and months. Woohoo.
