Look out! Here comes the Good Year Blimp!

Yup. That's about how I feel. I feel like the Good Year blimp. I had a cute little bump before, but it was a flexible bump. It's not so flexible anymore. This thing is getting harder and bigger by the day. I'm to the point where I cant bend over in half anymore to pick things up off the ground. Adios flexible body...hello train wreck. 

The sad part is I don't even look pregnant. I just look straight out FAT. We were sitting in church yesterday and this stick skinny girl comes walking by with a very cute defined belly, and she's only 2 weeks ahead of me. Then there's me...I'm sitting in the corner like "I like cupcakes... I know you're too scared to ask cause you can't tell if i'm expecting or just a fat person. Ya, that's right...stare and then turn away when I catch you staring." 

This is the paranoia I experience lately. I'm so scared that I just look fat to society. I need one of those shirts that clearly states I'm pregnant and not just fat. 

Also i've had a few crazy dreams that this baby is a girl? So my mind is starting to be changed a little bit. I guess we will find out in 9 days :) I am still pretty convinced it is a boy though because I eat like a football player these days (Don't make a fat comment. I'm working out too!) 

Anyway. I'm 14 weeks and 26 to go. 

This has been my rant for today :)

What happens when the phones are down at work?

Well this morning we came into work and the phones were down. Unfortunately the whole company (including the customer service job I work) are based around phone calls all day long. So what happens when the phones go down? Well... First it's kind of like a panic...then an hour later everyone is just tired. We are all trying to talk our boss into renting us a bus and taking us to Lagoon or something. Not going to happen...but we got nothin else better to do other than bug him.
He has made a statement that if the phones aren't back up by 1PM today (after we get back from lunch) that he will let everyone go home. So prayers that the phones will stay down would be muchly appreciated.

I don't really like sitting around doing nothing so i've taken the janitorial position and started cleaning up the office. Trust me...this office is full of men. The only other girl in here is Nyssa and she is on her honeymoon, leaving me alone with an office full of men. So I feel like only the girls here take the clean initiative and clean up after everyone. I guess this is the job I will take today.
I am missing my friend in the office. Nyssa, if you're reading this (which i'm sure the #1 thing you do on your honeymoon is read my blog) for the love of batman please come back! I have no one to chat with during the day!

So on another note, last night I cleaned up the room Chevy had been staying in. Today I am going to be cleaning out the room that we have ALL of our storage stuff in. I'm going to go through my storage and clean out all the junk we don't need and put the stuff we want into the other room Chevy had been in. Then i'm going to take the back room (that all the storage is currently in) and start turning it into a nursery. Luckily the colors for the walls of the nursery are going to be the same if its a boy or a girl. So I went and bought paint last night and am planning on painting all day Saturday after I get that room all cleaned out. Then i'm going to go in and move all the baby stuff we have into there. Trust me, it's a lot more than you think thanks to loving friends and family :) This kid is going to be set!
So if anyone feels the urge to come clean out a storage room this week feel free to fly on up here :)
Plus side, the rest of our house is spotless thanks to my awesome husband. He has worked so hard the past 2 days doing laundry, dishes, and cleaning. Our house looks amazing!

Oh The Chevster...

Last night we gave away our first puppy :( It was the saddest thing. It just wasn't working out with our landlords and stuff. We found a family in Idaho Falls that wanted him really bad and have been looking for a dog for months now. We drove him down there last night, and when we first pulled up we were skeptical but after spending some time with the family and with chevy in their yard we knew he would be really happy there. So we left him there and drove away and cried.
That dog was a menace but we loved him. We just didn't have enough time for him, and especially with the baby on the way we weren't giving him as much love and attention as he deserved. I really hope he's happy where he's at. Its been a depressing few days at our house. This morning Josh was driving me to work and I said "What are you thinking about?" he said "Chevy......I just don't know what i'll do with myself at the house while you're at work....i'll be so lonely." Chevy and Josh were little buddies. They would go out wandering in the woods by our house and chase rabbits and squirrels. I really hope we have a little boy to go do all that with Josh so he has a little buddy again :)

Well enough with the sad news.
Good news is....15 more days till we find out what baby Wray is :) We are counting down the days! We just can't wait to find out!

I have had some people messaging me on Facebook asking all about my pregnancy. So to only post it to friends and family that follow this blog here you go...

How many weeks?
13 :)

Cravings?
My cravings are so inconsistent. It drives Josh insane. One day I only want one thing all day long and will only eat that thing and think its the best thing in the world. The next day the craving the day before sounds repulsing, and so far once I have a day of craving one thing I never want that thing again. My options for food are going to run out sooner or later at this rate.


What's been the hardest part?
I don't sleep at night anymore? I know people keep telling me I shouldn't complain now, cause it just gets worse. But I average about 4 hours a night with no naps during the day. I guess its good practice right?
I also get hiccups ALL THE TIME. For the past 3 weeks it has been non stop. Josh just laughs at me now every time I get the hiccups.

So there it is for all 9 of you. You know who you are :) Love you all!

Sweetest Day

Today is sweetest day. To read all the facts and history click here. Sweetest day is a day to celebrate all the people that make your life special. So here is my little shout out for all the awesome people in my life.
First of all there are my awesome parents. They have worked so hard for my whole life trying to raise me well and give me everything I need. They are really awesome and have been so patient with me. I couldn't have asked for better parents.
There are also my siblings, they have been so kind to me my whole life and have always been there when I need someone to talk to. Both of them would go out of their way to help me out with something. They truly are amazing people. I love them both to death.
Then there is my awesome husband. I couldn't have asked for anyone better. He is truly amazing. Every day I think about how lucky I was to find him. He helps me in so many different ways, he fills in for my weaknesses and he makes my life incredibly amazing every day. I just love him to death.
Then of course there is the tiny little baby...we don't know much about him or her yet but we love our baby to death, and he/she definitely is a very special person in both mine and Josh's life.

Last but not least there is all my family and friends, you are all so special to me, and I wish I could write about each and every one of you, but I just have to many awesome people in my life to even count. So thanks for being so amazing, I love you, and happy sweetest day!




So what are we doing today for sweetest day? Well we are actually partying. Josh had to work this morning, but he is just getting off. We are going to carve pumpkins, eat pumpkin pie, cook pumpkin seeds, and watch halloween movies. It's going to be an amazing day. We both woke up this morning so happy and refreshed and excited to spend time together this afternoon doing some fun things :)
Pictures to follow!

But we're happy in our bubble...

I have been inspired by great blog writers to continue writing on my blog. Today's topic is our bubble. Josh and I have been married for 4 months now and we are still in our little honeymoon bubble. We are perfectly content with just each other, we don't need to go places, or do things with other people, we are just so content being each others best friends. Our life is near from perfect, but it feels perfect to us (or should I say me?)
We are in such a routine. We wake up, lay in bed and talk for a few minutes, then I quickly get up and run off to work. I come home to the dishes done and lunch made by my sweet husband, we chat for an hour then i'm back off to work. I come home and Josh is at work, so I make dinner, attempt to clean up our room (how does time fly so fast? Oh ya...Pinterest) and then I go and pick him up from work :) We get home, eat dinner, then pick a movie or tv show and snuggle until its time to go to bed. However, lately I have not been sleeping hardly at all. So around 1am i'm usually waking Josh up talking him into going out in the living room with me to watch a TV show or something until im tired again (I can't go out in the living room alone...our house is to big, and what if there is a murderer or something hanging outside our window?) So he gets up and hangs out with me until we go back to bed (isn't he such a good man?) I love our little bubble!
Speaking of bubble's, i'm getting quite a little bump popping out. My shirts that were more form fitting before I was pregnant are starting to not fit. My undershirts are silkier and so within a half hour of getting dressed my shirt is popped up over my tummy. Unfortunately sometimes I don't notice until a little while later :/ Luckily due to morning sickness (?) other areas of my body are getting very skinny (woohoo!) I didn't know if you wanted to get skinny all you had to do was get pregnant!
We are super duper excited to bring another little person into our bubble :) We might have to kick the dog out to make room in the bubble, but he's already at risk of exile. So we'll see where that ends up.

Nevada??????

I'm so stoked for the family reunion. I love my job, but it will be nice to take a few days off, fly to Nevada, spend some time with loved ones, and relax!
I am counting down the days. How many days? 23 more days!!!
I am SO excited to find out if our baby is a girl or boy! The chinese pregnancy calender said it would be a boy, along with a few other factors we are convinced it is a little man. But we shall see!
