I'm an emotional rollercoaster...

Somedays I feel like I have multiple personalities.. Silly things that never would have made me wanna cry now do. It doesn't matter if it's something happy, goofy, sad, or frustrating every emotion seems to end in me feeling like I'm about to burst into tears. Ted's been a trooper and has dealt with my ups and downs like a pro, but Savannah's at the lovely age of 2 1/2 so sometimes it feels like her joy in life is pushing mom to her limit.

Sleep is beginning to get a little bit better, but still not sleeping through the night. I'll wake up somewhere between 3 and 5 and be fully awake, debating if I should get up and get a head start on a productive day. I have yet to actually get out of bed that early, it seems like I fall back aleep right before my alarm and then I have the hardest time getting out of bed ontime. It's funny how that works..

My tummy has popped! :) I noticed a bump two weeks ago and it's gradually getting bigger. The thought of how big I'm going to get is starting to make me worry. I gained about 6 pounds in the first trimester which isn't too bad, but the baby books are saying a pound a week for the next two trimesters! I like having something I'm familiar with to compare the baby's size to and my weekly updates tell me he/she is the size of a lemon!

I'm off to play kitchen with missy Lou so stay tuned for more updates soon<3

Week 13

This picture was taken back at week 8, Savannah was trying to feel the baby. Her fits of outrage and jealousy whenever Ted or I go near another child are beginnig to get a little better. As she plays with her dolls she's starting to say things like "this is my little sister" so it's giving us hope that this may not be quite as bad as we thought it would be. She's still extrememly possesive and the only way I'm allowed to hold another baby is if she's holding it with me. We've told her a few times that there's a baby in mommy's tummy but she doesn't really understand, she just says "Is it crying?" lol

So far I've had it pretty easy with this pregnancy. I think the hardest thing has been the fatigue, especially because I'm not sleeping well. I started waking up several times throughout the night and chalked it up to being worried about spilling the beans to my parents. Now that that's over with I SHOULD be sleeping better, but I'm not! I'm beginning to wonder if we need a new mattress, which may be the case, but it seems silly that it would be affecting me this early. I may try drinking a warm glass of milk to see if that helps, YUK, but we'll see if I can keep it down!

I'm also getting a little pickier with my food. Certain things sound good one minute then terrible the next! I'm also getting grossed out a lot easier by foods and their textures. I've always had wierd things about certain textures but it seems to be worse now. If it wasn't for fruit and chocolate milk I'd be starving! Salads and garlic bread have been a few other things that seem to top my list at the grocery store.

I need to go make beds and get ready for the day, will post again soon! xoxo

Surprise!

To our delight and surprise we have recently found out that we are having a baby!! This was NOT planned, but we are very excited and want to share all the details! I'm about 12 weeks now which makes me at the end of the first trimester, and puts the due date just a week or so after Savannah's birthday. Luckily I only had a little bit of morning sickness over a short three week span and it was before all the wedding events, so we managed to keep our little secret. I've been working on better managing my diet, getting all the necessary nutrients and lots of water. However, Dr. Pepper is my biggest downfall! It sounds good 24/7 and to keep myself from caving completely I have to give into a sip or two when Ted gets one!

Baby is said to be about the size of a lime, 2 inchs long and weighs about 1- 1/2 ounces. The reflexes are beginning to develop and will soon be able to open and close the hands and curl the toes.

Will stay in touch and post again soon! All my love <3

Wedding Bliss

I feel so funny blogging, but thanks to some friends I have realized that this can be such a great tool in communicating with so many loved ones out there!

The wedding craziness has come to an end. October 2nd was a day I will never forget! It was the most gorgeous, perfect day of my life. It was everything I have ever wanted and so much more! I married a wonderful man, and had the wedding of my dreams! So many family and friends came from all over to support and celebrate with us which made the day that much better. The whole experience felt like a fairytale and as excited as I am to be married, I'm almost sad that it's over. A years wort of anticpation and excitement for that one big day is now over. Although, I'm now looking forward to seeing all the pictures and video, hoping it captured some of those small details I was too busy for and missed out on. I fought back tears all day long and managed to keep my makeup in tact and eyelashes on! :)

We just got back from our honeymoon in Tahoe and it was fabulous! We were there for Tahoe's first snowfall of the season, which made for a chilly weekend- but lots of snuggling and hot chocolate made it perfect! Our house is coming together and is starting to feel more and more like home sweet home. Savannah LOVES her new room, it's pink everywhere! I'll try and get pictures of the place up soon. Ted and I have felt so incredibly blessed this past year from all the family and friends that constantly surround us with their love and support. We're excited for the many years to come, and are looking forward to the upcoming holidays and this next years events.

Thank you cards are waiting, but I'll be back soon to post some more! <3
