LOL

Oh my gosh! I'm watching Ellen and balling my eyes out. Like literally SOBBING! LOL And realized how silly I'm being and started cracking up.

I would say that hormones are definitely in play here! lol

Don't get it

Sometimes.....I just. don't. get. family.

Craving Shrimp

I just had my first food craving. I am really wanting some shrimp, it seems so silly that these symptoms can start so early!! It's really quite amazing and I'm really thankful for them because it keeps reminding me that things are going well!

Though, Mike made me lobster tail the other night and I think I'm craving shrimp now because of it. Which is weird, cuz I normally steer clear of shrimp. It gives me migraines and occasionally makes me nauseas. Though I know they recommend the consumption of shrimp for healthy development of little baby!

Okay so seriously:!! I can't get anything done. I am soooo distracted because the ONLY thing I can think about is baby!!!! And its so weird to say out loud. When I talk to Mike about it, it's like it really sinks in more everytime that we're now talking about a real baby, it's no longer just a hypothetical one! AHH!!!

Do you know I have to seriously focus on being disciplined because if it were up to me, we would have already ordered a crib and all the matching furniture as well as the bassinet this week. HAHA!!! I'm so serious too! I can't even knit, I'm so obsessed with baby stuff and looking up articles online, reading my book, and baby shopping! ALREADY!!!

Remember how I always said I would feel really bad for everyone that's a part of my life when we had kids? Because if I'm this crazy about my dogs and can't quit talking about them and taking pictures of them, what could I possibly be like with human children? I think I already feel bad for all those people because I'm realizing this prideful, over-sharing, crazy behavior starts with the pregnancy.

So I apologize to you in advance!! :) ha!

I have the most adorable husband!

He's been so absolutely adorable and sweet since we found out!! Just hours after I told him, he started peeling and feeding me oranges so that I was getting my vitamin C. I also had somewhere to be that evening and he told me maybe I should have someone come and pick me up (it was snowing out and he had to work). Isn't that so cute!??? And super sweet!

Every day since, he's asked if I've taken my vitamins and eaten any fruit that day. :) And every day so far, he's cut up apples and brought them to me :)

I can't quit grinning and giggling because it's so cute!! And I seriously think its so so so sweet and I absolutely LOVE seeing this nurturing side of him :)

ETA: I forgot to add: I asked him to run out for a couple of last minute groceries and while he was out to also get some fruit. THIS is what he came home with. HAHA!!


I think I have enough for awhile now :)

Merry Merry Merry Merry Christmas!!!!

So Mike and I had quite the surprise for Christmas this year!



Yup you saw that right :) Don't worry, I blew it up for you just in case you missed it!



We got to call all of our family and friends and let them in our big Christmas surprise! I know that a lot of women wait until they're through their first trimester and I have NOOO idea how they can keep such a huge secret for so long! I just waited until I saw my family doc to take a blood test and confirm the pregnancy. I'm only 5 weeks and can't keep my mouth shut!! It wasn't planned exactly how I had anticipated, but I am still bursting at the seams with excitement! I was freaked out and wayyy emotional the day I found out. But nervousness has not even crept back in because I'm so filled with eagerness!

This puts our due date approximately around Sept 1st, but I won't know for sure until my first OB exam late next month.

Merry Christmas!!!!

I just wanted to shout it from the roof top and I'd say blogging is the closest I'll get :) haha

ETA: This would also explain why I have not been updating on my P90X progress. It's too intense a workout to do during pregnancy, though I fully intend on maintaining a workout schedule throughout.

Week 6, Day 3.

So last week we had a Christmas party in SLC for the Railroad. It was fun. Mostly just to get out of town and go shopping, eat good food and get all dressed up! Also, it is SO refreshing to see people dressing fashionably. Cute shoes, trendy sweaters, awesome bags...everywhere! In Elko, if I dress up..??!! Everyone stares. I mean everyone, they look at you like you're crazy and like its obvious you're not from around here. I hope its always obvious that I'm not from around here. Because if I DID fit in??? I think my friends might disown me ;) ha!

Anyway I'm off my point. I was SO good about working out in the hotel and not missing my P90X workout. I brought my dvds and weights with me so that I wouldn't have an excuse! And then I got home and was just exhausted that I crashed for 2 days. In the last week I have skipped 3 days of working out!!!

But tonight I think I found my motivation again. I had to sit down and go over all the reasons why this is important to me and then go look at pictures :) Of myself and others that have already seen amazing results.

SO. I really hope I only fell off the bandwagon for one week and can stay on from here on out. Though Christmas is coming up....eek. I've been great about working out (with the exception of this week), but eating right? I haven't been so great at. :) tee hee

So I sent a post from my cell phone and it translated to gibberish. Oh well.

Here's what it was supposed to say:

You guys should be SUPER proud of me!! We're on a company paid trip and I just spent the last 1.5 hours working out. At the Hilton. I KNOW!! I should be getting a massage :)

P90X: 30 Day Results.

I've reached my first 30 days!! (Well 28, but whatever).
I totally slipped big time during Thanksgiving. I tried to be good, but do you KNOW just how hard it is when there are so many pies, cakes, breads, laying around?? At least the turkey is healthy :)(until I smother it in gravy *sigh*) On top of that I completely forgot to workout. Not that it would have mattered we had company ALL day, so I probably couldn't have slipped it in anyway. So I doubled up and then felt awful for a couple days and had to double again.

SO, what I'm trying to say is...I had a really bad week and am trying to throw every excuse I can at ya :) lol

Here are my before and after pics just from the first month. It's not HUGE results, but definitely enough to keep me motivated. My belly and legs are slimmer and check out my arms!!! I have muscles!!! I've never been toned, so at the end of 90 days I doubt I'll have a 6 pack, but I can't wait to see what happens! Maybe the fat rolls will stay disappeared when I sit :) (Oh yeah....the boobs are smaller too. The one place you wouldn't mind keeping the fat lol)





ETA: If I look PO'ed in the first picture, its cuz I was :) LOL
