If you haven't heard the news yet...
WE'RE GOING TO BE PARENTS!!
We are sooo excited!! July can't come soon enough!
40 weeks really doesn't seem that long at all with everything that we need to get done.
BUT the weeks are going by soooo slowly!
I'm 14 weeks along, so officially out of the first trimester. 1/3 of the way there. WHOO!
So far... (i'm going to get a lot of haters for this) but I have been feeling great! I'm one of the lucky ones and had a super easy 1st trimester. I never threw up or even got nauseated. I'm so grateful I got my mom's genes! I'm sure I'll make up for it somehow down the road. The bad luck is sure to come around at some point, right? I'll be the poor soul that is in labor for a week! okay, okay... KNOCK ON WOOD!
Anyways, the only thing I can tell is different is how much I sleep. I seriously could wake up from a good nice 8 hour night of rest, eat some Frosted Flakes, (yum) and then climb right back into bed to sleep for another 8 hours. Not even joking. I have been driving my poor husband crazy! When it's finally the weekend and he's all up for a nice date and a movie... Ya, I'm lucky if I'm still awake by 9! I'm such a party pooper! I have such a hard time motivating myself. It takes so much effort to do my hair and get dressed. If I didn't have to get up and go to work I could have easily spent the last 14 weeks in my PJs sleeping, eating, and watching TV.
Cravings, Oh boy!
I use to not be very picky with food. Like I could eat whatever, WHENEVER! But now it's so hard to make dinner and decide what to eat. Nothing sounds good. Here are a few things that stick out as super nasty:
Soup-any kind. Even my favorite from Olive Garden. ugh!
Chinese food. Use to be my fav... not anymore!
Enchiladas... the only time I came close to puking is when I made Al's favorite honey,lime, chicken enchiladas. Oh man, the smell was horrible! Even just typing that made me cringe...
Now a few of my recent favorites:
Fruit smoothies! HOLY COW! Jamba Juice has been my friend lately, if you want to be my friend... please bring me a Jamba.
Frosted flakes.
Ham and cheese hot pockets. MMM! One time... I ate 4 in one day. Yep.
Sour patch kids. Which, I have never liked these until now. It's so weird how your body changes!
and last but not least... A Cripsy chicken sandwhich from Wendy's. It's to die for.
We decided to wait and tell our families on Christmas!! It was so hard to wait. But it made Christmas Day just that much more exciting!
My cute Rorie was pretty excited as well :)
We sent Rhy this shirt in his Christmas package. It sure was good to skype him on Christmas! He is such an awesome missionary. It's crazy to think that our baby will be almost 7 months old when he gets home!
Gpa and Gma Yonk (mostly Gpa) have been bugging us FOREVER to have a kid. They really wanted a "great" grandchild. So we even made a special present for them.
Not the best picture. But there wasn't a dry eye in the whole room. Everyone was soo excited!
Grandpa said, "Oh, that's definitely a boy." haha
This is the shirt I wore all day on Christmas. Now one of my favorite shirts!
It was so fun to announce to everyone on Christmas! It made it so much more special because everyone we cared most about was there. Al and I have been very blessed to have the two best families ever! and that they both live in the valley is a double bonus!
It's fun that both Al and I are the oldest child, so this is the first Grandchild on both sides. I can already tell it's going to be a spoiled baby :)
Just had to throw one more pic of my first child. She's going to be the best big sister ever!
We get to find out the gender soon and I'm DYING with excitement. Al says he wants a boy.... But i secretly think he is hoping for a girl :) he just won't admit it. I would be happy with boy or girl. I just want to find out so I can start shopping!!! But... just intuition or something of that sort is telling me it's a girl. Hmmm... We'll just have to wait and see!!
