Bottles, Blankies, and Binks...Oh my!

Or maybe... Sickness, fatigue, and Vitamins...OH my....

I think most people have heard by now, I'm PREGNANT! I am 12 weeks, due April 28th...Joel's birthday.

I am mostly tired and nauseous, but luckily don't lose food every day. I think being tired is the hardest part because I have a hard time getting things done around the house; even little should-be-fun things, like looking at my magazines, seems daunting! Pregnancy fatigue is also what I'm blaming for my lack of blogging. By the time I get home from work all I want to do is lay on the couch. I don't know how you moms do it, being pregnant WITH KIDS already.

Food wise the only things that are consistently eatable are Del Taco, frozen yogurt, and veggie trays. Things I used to love, like Cafe Rio and pizza, make me want to gag just at the thought of them. I have been taking the Unisom + B6 combination at night and that seems to help with the sickness, as far as losing food goes. Unfortunately the nausea has gotten worse the further along the pregnancy goes, but my fingers are crossed that as first trimester is ending I'll start to feel better.

Since we've been married Joel has been bugging us for a "bean" or baby, giving use spare change for our "bean fund." So Bean has been our family's name for the little baby and judging by our first ultrasound, Joel isn't far off.

The Bean: 9 weeks

This Is Halloween!

All of September I was SOOO excited for Halloween. But now that it's finally October the stores have brought out their Christmas stuff! I have struggled to stay in the spooky mood, tempted to move on to the Christmas spirit. THEN last night I went to a dance show put on by Utah's Odessey Dance Company called Thriller. It did the trick. With their dark and edgy dancesI am back in Halloween ready to enjoy. In my efforts of enjoying this holiday I replaced the normal blog playlist with some of the Carter family favorite Halloween songs. Hope you enjoy the hallowday.
