New House, New Life

Things I will no longer take for granted:
1. A silverware drawer
2. Walking space on both sides of the bed
3. Kitchen drawers
4. Freezer space
5. Drawers in the bathroom
6. A pantry
7. Storage, storage, storage

We completed the move to our new house! It. Is. Wonderful. We now have a second bedroom, a bigger first bedroom, a real kitchen with all kinds of drawers, and a storage room with a washer and dryer and FREEZER! Obviously there's more, but those are the key points. Basically, Josh and I are soooo happy with this move. Want to see a picture of the baby's room? OK. Just don't judge it since we only moved in 2 days ago and the baby won't be here for 5 months. My Grandma would call it the "Tomorrow Room" because I'll get to it tomorrow.


Also, this last week I sort of feel like there's a real baby inside! 4 out of 5 of my pants don't fit any more, 70% of my garments are now in storage, and I cleaned out my closet of all the shirts and dresses that won't fit my baby bump. This stuff is getting real! I also felt the baby for the first time this week (I think). It's sort of hard to tell if I'm actually feeling a baby move around or if I'm just making this stuff up in my head because I know I'm supposed to be feeling something by now. The first time that I definitely felt something was on Thursday night when Josh and I were camping with Mal, Alaina, Adrie, and Brad. We were laying down getting ready to fall asleep I felt the most distinct movement-like thing. I can only describe it like a bubble in a really viscous liquid popped. It was sort of weird, but really really exhilarating.

I'm looking forward to going to Oregon next month to shop maternity at all the Ross's free of tax. I also can't wait for M&D to get here from Oregon with my baby changing table.

I'll end this little ditty with a list, because that's what I'm good at.

Cravings: Thai food (Green Curry and Pad Thai), pizza, cranberry juice, and hard shell tacos
Aversions: eggs (still), salad (still), J Dawgs, smarties, and Burger King

Doctor Day

Yesterday was Doctor appointment #3. I'm officially 17 weeks along. We also got to hear Baby C's heartbeat again, which is such a relief every time. The exciting news was we set our next appointment for the 20 week find-out-baby's-gender ultrasound! We'll officially know August 10th around 9:30 AM. The "guess my baby's gender" poll will be up shortly so please put your votes in!

I TALK ABOUT VOMITING IN THE NEXT TWO PARAGRAPHS SO DON'T READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO READ ABOUT IT.
Today marks the first day of barf since I've been pregnant (and engaged or married, for that matter). I'm not sure if I can completely contribute the incident to pregnancy though as it was really random and kinda came out of nowhere and wasn't preceded by any true nausea. Basically, I got in the car this morning with Joshua about to run a series of errands and like 3 minutes later, I grabbed the trash bag out of the back seat of the car (lucky we actually had one today) and it was gross.

After like 3 minutes of that I felt okay and we drove to my work to get my pay stubs for the last 2 weeks. Then I used the restroom there and threw up again. Then we came straight home and I slept for an hour, did homework, went to Sammy's, and I haven't vomited since. Soooo...you be the judge on if that's pregnancy related or not.
END VOMIT STORY

This week we're in the process of moving between apartment 1 and basement apartment/home to be. It's about three blocks South East of our current place, it's a 2 bedroom beautifully renovated home. I can't wait to throw the Christmas party there this year, so ya'll better be prepared. I also got the cutest maternity swimsuit so I'm officially ready for the 7 peaks excursion of the summer.

Until next time!

Stalker net!

HOW DOES FACEBOOK KNOW I'M PREGNANT!? Seriously. I haven't even announced it ON facebook. Creeper.

In the meantime, here's my first "I sort of look a little barely in my 2nd trimester pregnant" picture.

Homebound

This weekend I got to fly home to Portland for my friend, Gabbe's wedding. My Mom and Dad have done an awesome job at spoiling me-I'm already planning for our trip in a month. A list of all the fun things we got to do this weekend:

• Chevy's for dinner on the way home from the airport. 6 chips and salsa refills
• Burgerville strawberry milkshakes
• Mid-morning Saturday garage sales where we left with .50 cent baby clothes, books, toys, a free couch, the prettiest changing table you've ever seen (happy birthday to me!) with a gaggle of free baby supplies, 3 maternity dresses, 3 maternity shirts, and 2 pair maternity pants.
• Attended Gabbe and Duck's sealing
• Helped at the wedding reception
• Ate lots of Foushee cookies
• Burgerville raspberry milkshake
• Hours of guilt free reading time

Unfortunately, tomorrow marks my return to real life. I have two mid-terms to take by Wednesday so I'll be busy studyiny for those. On the bright side, I get to return home to Josh (!) and we get to start moving stuff to our new place this week! Also, I am DEFINITELY showing, which is exciting. I'll get some pregnancy pictures up in the next week or so, but in the meantime, enjoy these two pictures of my garage sale finds.
