This is my norm

I debuted my Mary Kay business this weekend. Actually my friend Kelly ran the whole show, but it was so fun. I had 7 people and a baby there and we had a nice girls night. They got to see the great products and I had $298 in sales 🙂 Whoo hoo!! Thanks everyone for coming and supporting me.

Afterward, I totally crashed. I still am not used to how much less engergy I am equipped with. I didn’t even really DO anything except sit there and hand things to people but just the hype of having the party and getting everything ready took it out of me. But it is getting less and less. I am feeling more and more myself again, energy wise.

Bj actually let me watch two chick flicks with him 🙂 It was so great. I didn’t even have to beg.
We also saw Million Dollar Baby which had a very surprising ending that I did not expect. But it was a good movie….I didn’t expect it to be emotional though…I thought it was going to be like Rocky girl-style.

I ordered my first bunch of maternity clothes today because I feel like I will be out of all of my waist fitted clothing very soon. My jeans and skirts have been my uniform lately. I’m glad I don’t have any presentations that I have to dress up for this semester, because my suit…HA, I don’t know if it will ever fit again 😦 Yes it will!! I will be tiny after I recover from my baby weight !!! I’m going back to high school size 🙂 That would be a miracle.

We are doing laundry now. It seems like we are always doing laundry. It is unending. I can’t imagine how much we will have when the kiddo starts blazing through clothes left and right.

Well today is my Mary Kay business debut. I’m really excited because it is going to be a fun girls night for my friends. My friend Kelly is going to come over and help run the debut, because I have never done a show before.

Last night I had BJ come to the grocery store with me because it was late and I didn’t feel so good. I had a list of approximately 10 things to get for my party plus milk and bread. Well over an hour later we left the store with a full cart and I was pooped. BJ wanted to go down every aisle and do full fledged shopping. AHHH!!!! This is why he isn’t allowed to go with me normally. We come out with way too much and it doesn’t last long enough. Anyway, I told him he is going to have to learn how to shop better since he will probably have to do it a few times before and after the baby comes. That nut 🙂

Well today a great thing happened. I had taken a test last week that I felt horrible about. I had studied but it was just one of those wierd ones that you don’t really know what in the world TO study. So I tried but I probably could have prepared more. Well, when I took the test, I felt my lack of effort biting me in the rear. I knew I hadn’t done my best but hoped for a miracle.

WELL, today I found out my grade and it was alot worse than I thought. I passed but, wow, I didn’t expect to do that horribly. So I started looking over my test and realized that I had not gotten 10 whole points that I had gotten right. Somehow the teacher had miscalculated my grade. WAS I RELIEVED!!! He was too, which I thought was cool. Most teachers don’t even know you much less know what your potential is for a grade. So I thought it was really cool that he cared that I had done better. He told me that he was hoping there was a good reason for my bad grade because he was surprised. Thank the Lord for teachers who care!!!

Now I am one step closer to graduating!!!! I can do it, I can do it!

PS. I must mention that I am happy that Luke and Lorelai got back together on Gilmore Girls 🙂 AND tonight is Newlyweds!! Get excited 🙂

Well the week is finally over and I’m glad….and pooped. Last night we didn’t feel like doing much, we being me and babe, so Bj and I went out and got Taco Bell for dinner and rented 3 movies. We saw Taxi, which was really funny; First Daughter, very cute; and Mr. 3000, which I wasn’t really interested in and fell asleep. Nice relaxing evening. Then I slept in until 10 today, that was wonderful!!!

So today I am on a mission of beginning the huge job of cleaning out the whole house while sorting, getting rid of and organizing everything. I want to be prepared for moving when it comes and I want to get everything organized while I have the chance before the baby comes. It is a huge project and I want to take it slowly, so I am starting now. So I have been working non-stop all morning, with the exception of Hoobie pouncing on me every two seconds. He is really delaying me….he needs a little pup sister to play with him when I can’t 🙂 I’ll have to work on BJ for that one. He claims that Hoobie is the last dog ever for our family…yeah right!!!!!!!! Not if I have anything to say about it.

Well back to work while I still have energy 🙂
Today I am 9 weeks!!! Seems like the time is flying by already.

Sorry I haven’t posted in a few days. I have been soooo exhausted and just bogged down by everything. This week was insane. It seemed like I had too many things due or to get done and definitely not enough hours in the day. I knew if I made it through yesterday I would be fine, but yesterday was a doozey. So finally it is Thursday, my week is almost over and I am so thankful.

We had a huge storm two nights ago and poor Hoobie was so scared and shaking all night long. It even hailed. I was afraid it would mess up the car but it wasn’t big enough. So being up half the night with Hoobie added to my exhausted week. Today I went to school and then came home and plunked myself down on the couch and didn’t move. I watched Speed and slept. It was heavenly.

I’ve been having some vivid crazy dreams these days. Its really wierd. They seem so real. I have no idea why but it may be from sheer exhaustion. Pretty interesting I might say. I actually had one dream about the baby. I actually saw it and everything. (It was a girl.)I can’t wait to see what it really looks like. It would be so wierd if it looked like it did in my dream. That actually happened to me once. I dreamed about a new lady that had started working at my dad’s office along time ago, but I had never met her or seen her. Well, when I did finally meet her, she looked exactly the same as in my dream. It totally freaked me out.

Well BJ is going up to the SLC to work out and I think I am going to piddle around the house. While I need to go work out, I feel like it would have absolutely no benefit for me whatsoever today since I have zero energy. I am just going to catch up on some much needed rest. (Baby agrees)

On Saturday we signed the contract for the sell of our home. So it is official. Now we just need to pray that the people do not back out for any reason. I really don’t foresee that they will, but you just never know. We close on April 15 and then it will be final. So I can’t wait for then.

So we are now on the hunt for a home of our own. We are planning on finalizing where we are going to live over spring break. Which is in three weeks, so I am very excited about finding a new home. It will be the home for our first little baby. That is so exciting.

Ok yesterday I had a funny experience. We went to IHOP for lunch and I like the spaghetti at IHOP. Well, yesterday I was feeling pretty nauseated and wasn’t really up for eating too many things, so I was scanning the menu and couldn’t decide between breakfast or dinner….so the lady came to take our order I asked for spaghetti and a side of hash browns. If you could have seen her face…it was soooooooo funny. She did a double take at me and said, “hash browns????” I then told her that I was pregnant and she cracked up laughing. She said that had crossed her mind but she didn’t want to ask. She said she was hoping that was the case because if not that was just strange. Hee hee….well anyway she brought me an extra order at no cost 🙂 The joys of food while your pregnant. It was a yummy meal 🙂

YEAH!!! PRAISE THE LORD– we got contract put down on our house!!!!!! Yesterday some people looked at our house and loved it and immediately went into negotiations with the realtor!! This is so great. We have already accepted their offer and so now they are just negotiating terms. WHOO HOO!!! I am so excited. We were really starting to get worried that we were going to have to put it up for lease, which is a big pain, because you never know what kind of renters you are going to get, etc. It just wasn’t the route we wanted to take. But God always pulls through right when you are at your wits end. Now we can figure out what we are going to do after graduation as far as rent or buy, or buy new or buy used…..and be settled for when the baby arrives in the fall!!! I’m sooo excited.

Well today, I put on a pair of jeans and “uh oh” couldn’t button them. My book tells me that my uterus is the size of a grapefruit this week??? That’s it!! It feels like a watermelon!! IT also tells me that this week the little ears are growing internally and externally so we can talk to the baby and it will hear us!! How exciting.

So everyone has been asking me if I’ve been having cravings…..the only thing I can pin point as a constant craving is MILK!!! I have been drinking it like crazy. We went through a whole gallon in a week which is like a record for us. So last night BJ brought home 2 gallons 🙂 What can I say…I love milk!!!

Oh and another thing is I have been craving BarBQue Chips?? Those are the two main ones…everything else is pretty normal.

Well tomorrow we are going to SING with Melissa!! Its going to be so fun. Now for those of you that don’t know I don’t me we are singing with her I mean we are going to this big production that the sororities and fraternities at Baylor put on every year, very similar to a broadway show. Its a big deal and they do a really good job. So we are going as it will be the last time we attend SING as undergrads. We are excited.

And this year we are going to hear our good friend Tara sing her solo in her ZTA production. GO TARA!!!

Well today I spent at least 2 hours on the phone looking for a new doctor. I had one that I wanted to go to, but they are not on my plan, so finally I found some that were on my plan and either they weren’t accepting new patients, didn’t deliver in The Woodlands or some other reason for me to not be able to get an appointment EVER!!! UGH…I was to the point of utter frustration and sadness and my usual attitude would have just been upset or mad, but with pregnancy added to it, I am just a ball of emotion. SO I felt like breaking down crying. I felt helpless and then a miracle happened and I accidentally called back a doctor I had already called and they told me the first time they weren’t accepting new patients, but the second time I called they said they were. WHOOO HOOO!!!!!! I have a doctor for my baby!

So now I have my next appointment set up and I will get to see the little one 🙂 I can’t wait. I will be in the last week of my first trimester which is exciting because the babe will actually look like a human 🙂 I’m excited.

So four weeks till we get to meet our little one!
