falling asleep again...

So, I think I'm the only person still at work and I am about to crash at my desk. This has been a problem of mine for the past couple months!! I think it's because I get up at 4:30am to workout... YES, I said 4:30am!!! Crazy I know but I love it and if I didn't I will gain & gain & gain weight... and that won't make me happy.



I think I might leave here in a bit. But... I thought I'd share with you my fun new baby purchases!! We ordered a crib on babycenter.com and got a great deal on it. Also, I LOVE this wesite: http://www.babysteals.com/ they have a "steal" of the day and it's always at least 50% off the original price. It's soooo cool! The steal on Friday was Petunia Pickle Bottom crib bedding... and it was GREEN... may fav!! we aren't going to find out the sex of the baby, so I've decided to go with neutral colors. SO... I was SO VERY excited to see that this awesome bedding was the steal on Friday!

Naughty but... OH SO CUTE nephews!!

So I thought I'd blog a little about my nephews - Jayden, 4 and Carter, almost 2. They are a handful but they are so cute... I just want to squeeze them! :) For those of you who don't know my sister, Jaime and her husband Matt live in Bondurant with their 2 boys. They are done having children, and if you ever get to experience a day with them, you will know why!!! ha! They just built a huge house outside of Bondurant... it's beautiful! So... Carter pulled a naughty stunt last night and wrote on the walls with what looks like a blue crayon!! At leat he was willing to help clean it up!! This picture just makes me laugh!! Auntie Jessie spent hours painting these walls too!!

Poor Jayden had staph infection in his knee last week. Jaime called on their way to the ER. She had just been to the walk-in clinic (2nd time) and they sent her to the ER... because they knew they would more than likely admit him into Blank Children's Hospital... and they did. I of course, met them in the ER and brought Jayden some new Spiderman toys and Jaime some food. :) Jayden was actually doing really well, however I had just missed the inserting of the IV which I guess was horrible. :( Poor little guy!! I was with them when they moved him into his own room and uncle Casey came a bit later to see him. He was really pretty happy... being waited on hand and foot and of course, he was the center of attention!! He ended up staying overnight and had IV antibiotics every 6 hours. I stopped by the next morning on my way to work and his knee already looked 50% better. He ended up getting out that next night. Thank goodness! Here's a picture of his (hopefully last) hospital visit...

Longest day EVER!

I am really tired today... the baby must really be growing cause I am about to fall asleep at my desk! Maybe it's making it's fingernails today... or maybe even hair?! I've been eating non-stop to try to keep me awake... this is not good. I feel as if I've gained 10 pounds in the last month... but, really I haven't!!!
I am so excited to be pregnant but want to finally, officially, look pregnant cause right now I just feel fat! :(
I've been working out just like normal, however, this could be part of the problem because I get up at 4:30am!! I feel great right up until 9am... ha! That's when the tiredness sets in. I usually eat an apple with some PB (my fav snack) and then stare at the clock until lunch... which for me is promptly at 11:15! I try to hold out until noon but I just need to eat! Eat, eat, eat... that's all I ever do. I'll be lucky if I don't gain 50 pounds with this baby! Oh well, I guess it's all absolutely worth it!

Catching up and PREGO!!

Ok... so I haven't been very good about blogging. In fact, I kind of forgot I created this blog!! To be honest... I have no clue how to tell people about it?!?! Ha! But, I am blogging anyway... As you can read by the title of this post... I AM PREGNANT!!
Most everyone knows this already... so I guess it's not new news. I am 12 weeks along and starting to show. I wish I would show more!! My pants are all too tight but maternity clothes are mostly too big. :( I am very anxious to actually look prego! :)
We started cleaning out the office & spare bedroom this weekend to get the nursery ready. Obviously I'm a bit ahead of schedule but I am excited! We had an ultrasound this past Monday and it was awesome to actually see the baby and the little heartbeat. They let us listen to it as well. It was beating at 165 beats/minute. Apparently the faster the heartrate the better chance it's a GIRL! I think 165 is pretty fast, right?!?! ha!
