excited, nauseous, hungry, and moody.




yep, we're pregnant again!
meaning i'm sometimes moody.
sometimes giddy.
sometimes starving.
and after one bite, overstuffed.
but other times, can't eat enough.
i weep when micah does something cute.
and call my parents about it.
and then i weep more for no reason.
the word weep really fits the situation.

things that disgust me:
frequently chicken.
generally anything that i have on the schedule to make for dinner.
pulled pork.
gagged on a banana yesterday. but normally i like those.
but don't even try and predict it. because there is no predicting.

things that i love:
fuji apple chicken salad from panera. i've had it so much my parents gave me a panera gift card in my easter basket. yes, i got an easter basket. my parents rule.
candy. but only sometimes.
apples. i've eaten a lot of apples.
orange juice.
popcorn.

this time around, it turns out, pregnancy is a lot different.
i had no warning!
for instance, when you feel nauseous in first trimester, you still have to take care of the toddler.
meaning lots of running and games.
also, the doctor just told me, the "burst of energy" you get in second trimester only applies to first pregnancy. 
say whaaaat.
so i'm going to want naps from here until eternity.

all that to say, we're SUPER pumped.
baby is due october 14. (micah's birthday is october 18. i know.)
we find out gender (hopefully) on may 27.

the pre-baby life.

well.
pre-baby life has been interesting (that's a relative term)...
trying to live up (again, relative term.) every moment while still preparing to be parents.

weird balance.
here are some things we've done lately...
 first sam's club stock up.
so much toilet paper, detergent, and lunch foods. so much cheaper in the long run.
 tigers game.
 duh. super rope.
 duh again. hot dog.
 with my parents. but most of the time, they had their eyes open...
 labor class at the hospital.
 walks to the lake... gorgeous, right?

 baby shower with youth group girls!
and mother in law, the great hostess :)

crazy lifestyle, right?
we've also had a lot of fun dating and with friends... while we are still not tied down. but people make me not take lots of pictures. because then i'd look creepy. these people are matt.

there is more. i've been crafting. but since the baby's name is a secret, i can't show it off quite yet...

just you wait.

the life i lead.

well, this has been my life lately:
 picnics with little kids.
 road trips with high schoolers. in crazy nice vans.
 12 junior girls making dinner for 14. 
 my first yogohut experience. 
wearing our new small group tshirt.
16 weeks pregnant.
smartboard usage with 6 and 7 year olds. pure joy.
(yep, those are complicated fractions...ish. no big deal.)
bailey missing matt while he's gone.

 my improvisation when all our bowls are in the dishwasher.
 matt's not too fond of this situation.

welcome to my life.

baby mama.

well, i'm officially pregnant!
14.5 weeks.
no longer sick, getting a little belly, getting excited. 

check out the progression:

the night we found out...


 (we told my parents, but don't have pictures... it's on video!)

telling matt's parents...

how we told matt's family...


telling my grandparents...

telling facebook...



oh, this is going to be fun!

my promises as a now-publicized pregnant person:
1. i will share funny things that happen along the way.
2. i will not share anything gross. no shmanks.
3. i'm not going to pretend that words like "mucus plug" and "breast pump" are normal or not funny.
4. when i get weird looking and huge, i'm not going to care. join me.
