Just blah

Alright, so I've been MIA lately. And for no reason really. I've just been feeling Blah lately.

Part of it is : These days have been THE LONGEST DAYS EVER!
 Another part of it  is : Even though I'm not fat {and don't technically know how far along I am!) I hurt all over. Which is ridiculous! Totally ridiculous!!

I mean seriously! I'm not even showing and my back hurts all the time, and my hips have been in some crazy pain every time I walk!

I'm not tryin to be a whiner-49er, but dude, this stinks.

And I went out and bought a huge bottle of Zantac because I've got heartburn like I ate buffalo wings, 3 burritos, and some nachos. Ugh.

I did buy paint. so we can get started on the nursery. It's going to be the same color for boy or girl. Green. Jungle theme. I've had the idea for a while, and told Shark, and he's down with it.

But Shark and I did buy a memory foam mattress top. Which is freaking awesome. I love it. ♥

I have also been taking Bandit for walks some days when I get off work early. Today we went to a new little park and he ran and ran and ran! I just walked around. It was pretty awesome.

Well, that's what's been going on lately. Much love to all who are just dealing! ♥♥

eating things and Easter

So, we've come to discover that we have such a weirdo little dog. While Shark was digging the garden (which was ALOT of work) Bandit was out there "helping" him. I got some video.

He eats dirt.

And he whines whenever Shark uses a shovel.

He's a pretty funny puppy dog. After a while, I would lock him in the house, so Shark could get some work done. He hated it, and was running from every window to every door, trying to get out. I don't know if he thinks we were having so much fun or what, but he loved "helping" in the garden.

Yeah helping.

We also discovered that he eats plants.

He has some flowers inside the yard that he likes to nibble on.

Easter this year was a pretty good deal.

Shark got peanut butter eggs and Cadbury carmel eggs.

Girl got cookies and cream bunnies and Cadbury cream eggs.

Bandit got bubbles and some rawhide.

Then we went over Shark's parents' and got even more candy! Now to clean up all the mess from the wrappers!!

Sprouts and beds

So, I started a garden a few weeks ago. I don't really remember when cuz lately all my days have gone SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO slow! But, I started the garden by planting the little seeds in cups. (Angie over at Angie's Creative Corner gave me the idea.) She didn't post it, because she's been doing the same type of "crafting" that I have been lately... But once my little seeds turned into kind of big sprouts, Shark and I planted them outside.

Before we could plant them though, Shark had to rip out some bushes, and part of a fence, build another part of a fence {the Bandit escapes!} and then turn over all the dirt.... It was so much work, and my husband is amazing!! ♥

So our garden is planted, and we even watered it! We're well on our way to eating some good fresh food this summer!!

Also, I've found that my back hurts. Already! I don't know what the deal is, but I guess it's "spacing" - my body is making room for the baby. Ugh. All I can say is I'm not even showing yet and my body is shifting! It kinda sucks. I walk like an old woman. My hips always hurt and my back hurts! So.... Shark and I bought a memory foam mattress off eBay.

I love getting mail, but this mattress is so exciting! I can't wait!! It says it should be there this week!! Yayay!

Egged!

So Shark and I egged people last night. It was pretty dang fun.

I made some cookies yesterday. I made my Sugar Cookies, and my basic buttercream. But then, just for kicks, I put a yellow chocolate flavored melt-disc somewhere on the cookie, to make them look like eggs!!

I put the eggs on plates, and got those ready for delivery.

I had a whole bunch of plastic eggs left from my egg wreath (and my announcement to my parents!) and put jelly beans in them. I taped the eggs shut since the dollar store eggs don't always close securely.

Then last night, after we were done hanging out with Shark's mom, we terrorized the neighborhood. Actually, we terrorized quite a few neighborhoods. None of our friends live close to each other!

But, it was pretty fun to put the plates of cookies and the little plastic eggs on their porches. I'm not being as sneaky as I was when I Heart Attacked some of our friends. First of all, this idea is way cute! And it was lots of fun!

So, yes, it was us. And yes, we are just that sneaky.... Muahahahhaahhahaha!

not really cravings...

So, today, Shark and I were talking. And I interupted myself and said, "Ooh, I could really go for a KFC bowl, with the mashed potatoes, corn, chicken and gravy... mmmhhmm.."

And Shark replied with, "I don't think you're having cravings, cuz your just listing off things you already like."

I thought about it.

And it's true.

I haven't been craving anything I don't already like (pizza, steak, buffalo wings, pizza, mashed potatoes, pizza, and salad) but it just seems that lately, I want it all. All the time.

It could just be that, yes, I am pregnant. Or it could be, that being pregnant is my excuse for eating whatever I want, whenever I want. Yeah I think the 2nd one is right. (I'm pretty sure I've already gained 10 pounds, which is almost impossible for me normally....)

Shark is convinced we're having boy cuz of things I want to eat.

But aside from being either 1) starving or 2) so full I'm about to expode, ALL THE TIME, I feel pretty good. I haven't been throwing up or anything. But it is just 1 or 2. No medium, no "Oh, I just feel good..." It's either FEED ME or ROLL ME OVER!

I've been trying to stick to the pregnancy diet in my What to Expect When You're Expecting book, it's hard cuz I don't usually have 3 full servings of green leafy vegetables in my house as any given time. Plus, if I leave bananas on the counter, my dog eats them. Weirdo.

But I have been so good about drinking water lately. I have to get up in the middle of the night EVERY NIGHT. And I try to eat a bowl of cereal or a sandwich or something every morning. {If I don't eat something in the mornings, I buy junk food from work, and junk food makes me feel like a punk and get fat.}

I'm hoping it stops snowing {that's all I want, is it to stop snowing!} so I can take the Weirdo dog for a walk every now and then. I have some books on the iPod that I can just plug in and go. So, please, stop snowing.

That's the run down of it all lately. The days are going to slow. It's kinda awful. ♥

Not a Jimmer

Ok, sorry to dissapoint the entire state, but not all children born in 2011 will have the name Jimmer. Not going to happen, and if it has to stop with me, oh well. I'm not crazy with Jimmer-Fever, so it's not even an option. We joke about it, but it is far far FAR from being serious. Now Aaron Rodgers.... That's a name I could consider...

My brain is alreayd all wrapped up in baby stuff. What we need, how I want the room to look, the theme, what I could make, where to get the best deals. I woke up this morning thinking about the nursery, and how I am going to get the stripes *just right* and I had to go talk to Shark about it. I also have all kinds of ambition to clean the house and get organized. But where am I? Blogging. See how far my ambition took me? Up to my craft room to stare at my computer and all my stuff. Yeah... Although I do have a list of things to-do for today. I just have to find it.

We're both pretty excited, considering we don't really know how far along I am. Yeah, we're still guessing. And we won't know until the first Wednesday in May. That's when I have my next appointment. They should be able to measure the rice bean. I haven't been really sick. My stomach is always in knots, like I'm about to throw up, but I haven't. So we're knocking on wood that this continues in the fashion that it is. And in the mean time, I am following my What to Expect when You're Expecting book.

I will post about things I make and updates on the rice bean. :)

Love to all who love rice. ♥

Different kind of crafting

Ok, I've been avoiding Blogger, posting anything, calling anyone, or even being on Facebook. I've been acting like I have nothing to say, like nothing is happening.... When really, I have so much I have to tell you!! I have had a secret for a little over a week, and it kills me to not say anything. Seriously, it kills me! I hate having secrets kept from me, but I hate keeping secrets more!! Trust me!
I have been avoiding Blogger because I feel I can't keep it in anymore!

Shark and I are going to have a baby!

I started the glucophage in February hopefully to get my cycles going again, get my hormone levels back up. Well, I guess it started to get things going again, and then we ended up pregnant! We couldn't be more excited! But since the doctor's don't know when my last cycle was (I think it was December...) they just kinda guessed. They think I am about 7 weeks, maybe. We're not really sure. And it's too early to measure the little rice bean, so yeah... They haven't given me a due date yet cuz we're just really guessing.

I've got plans in my head of things we want, how I want the nursery to look like. What I have to do to clean it out, and where everything is going to go. I posted the news on facebook a little while ago, yeah everybody is pretty excited, but not as much as Shark and I are!

Now, to make more pizza!! ♥
