belly & body changes

No big bump yet.....but I can feel the tightness of my jeans as I attempt to button them. I have found a new love in my life (for those of you that know me- I absolutely love my jeans). I love my belly band! Thanks to Kristine.....I can squeeze my booty into my favorite express jeans and still feel cute! According to Drew I have "filled out" a little in the tummy area but I simply just feel fat. I am so excited to have the bump so people don't look at me like I am trying to squeeze into jeans that simply don't fit me anymore. A couple weekends ago I went shopping with my mom and I broke down and bought two pairs of leggings- yes, Suzanne, leggings. I'm still not sure if I can pull the whole look off but I am going to try it when I head to Pittsburgh in a little over a week.

Another minor body change- well more like a huge body change is how "top heavy" I feel (I tried to write that in some sort of a nice way). I refuse to buy bigger bras because I know that I am going to just get bigger but my word......do they have to hurt so much. I did buy a few built-in-bra camisoles that I now live in!

My daily wardrobe has changed a lot.....I don't go for the cute look anymore....its more for comfort. I even threatening my boss and warned her there is a very high chance of me showing up to work in my jammies. I'm all about the comfort right now......not how cute I look- cause simply I just don't look very cute. Hopefully next month I will look cuter!

before we know it.......fashion has slipped down the drain and comfort has found a cozy spot on my new body. Oh, how I am loving my pregnancy experiences!!!!!

awake & energized

Well, hello there blogging world. Long time no talk. It's been awhile.....a long while, but the second I get to this little spot it feels like I was just here yesterday. Writing all about life's wonderful treasures, reading other's blogs that seem just blistful!

The past month (month 2) has been a bit of a roller coaster. I think I've heard it all. From "take all the naps you can" to "this is what I did to get rid of my morning "all day" sickness". When they say that you will be tired, which is an understatement, you so are. I think that I have slept more in the past month than I have in the last 26 years of living. I just can't get enough of it. When I am not sleeping, I have no appetite.....because I am so sick.....because nothing sounds good. The only thing that does sound good or that doesn't make my stomach turn is Ramon- or any pasta that doesn't have a lot of sauce. After getting really sick for two days straight my doctor decided to take me off of prenatal vitamins and try just a folic acid pill. Everyday got a little better.....but boy oh boy did I not want to do anything for a single month. Between me and you I think my coworkers couldn't wait for me to get out of the "tired, sickness, raging hormone, unsteady stage. Now I am not saying that I have been a total lunatic but I will admit that I just didn't have the energy or desire to do anything.......let alone wake up at 6 am, get ready for work, drvie 30 minutes to work, and get bogged down with "must do's" that even if I wasn't pregnant I couldn't pull off let alone get myself to roll out of bed and shower in the morning.

This past week has been pure bliss. Not only because I have been feeling a lot better....***whispering voice***(I actually think my morning "all day" sickness has waved good bye) and my energy level is starting to pick up. My mom bought me this amazing body pillow that has helped me find sleep again and cravings are starting to pick up. But because we got to see our little one again. This time with so much more detail! Simply perfect. The little head, feet, hands, tummy. I just can't wait to finally love on this little one!



Before I knew it......I was over my all day sickness and trying to take in every single moment of my pregnant days. I love being pregnant and I can't wait to start feeling the butterflies and kicks!
