over the weekend...

we watched troll 2 with some friends who thoroughly enjoyed the movie as much as we did. it's fantastically horrible. they even made green jello for us for the movie, ha.
got fresh doughnuts saturday morning.
had dinner with the missionaries-and had a great conversation about what it would be like to live in denmark. which is where one of the elders was from.
watched adams family values. i can't even tell you how obsessed i was with this. it's a movie i completely forgot about, but loved with all my heart growing up.
i threw up in my cafe rio salad.  i didn't have enough time to make it to the bathroom, so my only option was to throw up right in my salad............or my purse. i was humiliated beyond words to say the least.
me and brad stayed up late last night talking about what it's going to be like to be parents. i loved it. i'm sure we still don't have the slightest clue.
had a great sunday dinner with my family. i laughed a lot. it felt good....

(my face looks haggard in this picture.)

a mild update.

i can say without a doubt that i finally feel great. i actually have a ton of energy. i never realized how hyper i truly was until this pregnancy left me lifeless.  i'm starting to feel that hyperactivness coming back again. unfortunately for brad.

i pee like a demon. it's getting to the point that when i swallow my own spit i feel a urination urge. reminds me of the pre-diabetic days.

we picked out a name. i feel kinda dumb saying it already so i'll go public with it when she's actually here. but i'll give you a hint, we're naming her brad. just kidding. i don't know why i'm laughing so hard right now.

i'm in the annoying stage where i literally tell everyone on the street that i'm pregnant. "did you want paper or plastic for your groceries?"........"plastic, thank you. and guess what, i'm pregnant."........"um. cool." a type of person i for sure didn't think i would become. i can't help it. the excitement is too good to hold in.

i've been into stretch meditation lately.  i really like it surprisingly. it makes me feel really relaxed and energized.  i found some fantastic music to go along with it which makes me feel like i'm in the middle of a rain forest. i just hope my child doesn't come out a granola because of it.

i bought my first pair of maternity jeans.  i'll tell you what, there's nothing more hideous than wearing maternity jeans and no top. i literally laugh every time i step in front of the mirror before putting on a shirt.

a young woman retreat.

this past week I’ve been feeling insanely better, which is a present to me. I’m still barfing, but anything is better than those migraines and fatigue. which by the way, thank you so much for all your comments of encouragement and congratulations. I kept reading them over and over again. promise. it was so nice of you guys to take the time!

over the weekend we (me and the other 2 counselors) found the quaintest little cabin in logan and took the young woman with us. we decided to have a little girls retreat. we binged crappy food, lounged around, danced, did facials, our nails, waxed our faces, watched chick flicks, and did some swimming. it was a fantastic weekend. something that needs to take place every weekend, or every day. and I must say, I got the best facial only because I’m obsessed with peeling skin from burns, so peeling my face was heaven on earth.

i'm pregnant. for realsies this time.

ha, well...it truly has been months since i've posted.  months of hell to be quite honest.  nobody quite gives you the real scoop of pregnancy.  i'll give it to you right now.....vomit breath, vomit car smell, severe constipation, hideousness, lack of personality/soul, and migraines. not to mention feeling fat and ugly times a million. and the diabetes is a cherry on top that weighs about as much as a mountain. that being said, this is just my experience. i pray there are others out there that have had wonderful pregnancies and can make it sound blissful.

now, on to the good stuff!! i'm having a girl!! i'm 16 weeks along and my due date is august 10th. words can't quite describe the feeling you get looking at your baby girl on the monitor while she's curled up in a ball hangin out in your hairy, chubby belly. it's a miracle the love i all of a sudden have.  i'm seriously obsessed with her. even if she does come out with a mustache.

i'm sorry for the absence, the computer for some reason makes me sicker than a dog.  nothing is more pleasant than cleaning vomit from the keyboard.

that's the scoop as of yet.  boring i know, but to be honest, my life has consisted of sickness and rotting on the couch.  which i pray is coming to an end. and brad....well don't even get me started on how grateful i am for him.  patience and love are words that don't do justice. he's taken such good care of me, despite our sexless life. the diabetes has made pregnancy tricky, and lucky for me, brad has been my constant companion to help with it all.

weekend in concert.

this weekend had quite the theme. choir concerts. friday night we thought we’d hit up dinner and  a U of U christmas  choir concert to get in the mood (brad was dying to go to one-I’m glad he did, it was awesome).  saturday night our ward christmas party held a little music concert, sunday morning we hit up music and the spoken word with our mutual, and sunday night we went and listened to brads parents choir concert with their stake.

saying that we’re filled with the spirit of christmas is an understatement. all the songs were beautiful, and nothing beats the feeling of chills throughout my body when a good song is playing.  some might have even brought me to tears.

it was a fun-filled christmas-y weekend that got us into the season!

awolnation.

 

i really, really, really like this song.  brad doesn't like it so much. which is why i only listen to it while i'm at work. good thing for him too because it's on repeat.

just because I feel like I haven’t updated for a bit.

we’ve been pretty boring lately.  and by boring, I mean just working and studying…..and napping. (napping is me.)

I love being in our apartment with our tiny christmas lights hanging, our baby christmas tree shining, candles a-glowin, and christmas music playin.  it feels cozy.  therefore making it hard to leave and do things.  even blogging is my last priority.

so who knows…maybe I’ll get enough energy to blog before christmas, but until then, happy napping!
