9 weeks today

9 weeks....
Well it is official I Feel pregnant!
The past two weeks have been crazy!
I am working full time and trying to adjust to a work schedule
and being 9 weeks pregnant is pushing my sleepy button into ON!

Needless to say I am TIRED! (I think I went to bed at 8:30 a couple nights)  

Mood: Over all good, but it doesn't take much to annoy me.
Thank you pregnancy hormones!

Cravings: Pizza, fries, ranch dressing...All the stuff that makes you gain weight!
I am usually a clean eater
I love spinach, bell peppers and broccoli, but all that makes my queasy.

Exercise: I have been trying to make it to jazzercise, and that's about it.
I am still adjusting to the work schedule and hopefully once I am out of the
first trimester I can be better about working out.
  
Belly Bump: YES !! NOT excited about getting out the maternity clothes.

In all everything in our house good, the kids are super excited about the baby coming around Christmas! They are being so sweet and asking such funny questions. I love it.

Okay so I am going to let you in on a BIG secret..... 
WE ARE PREGNANT !! 
Woo Hooo! Our third baby is due this December. 
As of Friday May 3, 2013 I am 7 Weeks pregnant. 
Nathan and I are over joyed, and so are the kids.
As far feeling pregnant that would be a HUGE YES!

All About Baby

All About Mom 
Cravings; Mexican food: Spicy, salsa, tacos, fries. The past two weeks have been rough, 
I am normally a very healthy eater, but all the veggies I LOVE make me want to vomit :(  
I can still eat the fruit's I LOVE so that's good. And another big BOUNS is 
my Herbalife is still tasting yummy! I can't live with out my tea and morning shake!

Mood: Tired, kind of bitchy (sorry but it's true). 
I might have a small does of road rage, people who don't use their blinker drive me BONKERS, 
I can't read your mind people!

Morning Sickness: While I have not actually gotten sick, I constantly have an upset stomach. 

Belly Bump: YES!!! I would be fibbing if I was excited about that. I guess as the third baby my 
stomach knew what to do. My pants are already tight! UGH 

Exercise: YES! I love my Jazzercise. I have also been doing Yoga and Walking 

We have not been to the doctor yet, my first appointment is not until May 24, by then the babies heart beat can be heard! 

230 more days until delivery 






A New Adventure

This week has been bitter sweet. I am ending a time in my life that I have LOVED, ENJOYED and well okay at times wanted to pull my hair out! This was my last week as a stay at home mom. Tomorrow I start my new job, and Saturday I graduate with my Masters in Social Work. Wow!!! I am overwhelmed with joy and sadness. 

At times being a stay at home was hard and there were moments when I asked myself, "Why do I suck this" or " Am I good mom"?  But at the same time, I have never had more joy and felt complete. I have never been more happy then being at home with my kids in their early years of their life. God has blessed me beyond measure. 

It was hard realizing that today was the last day in the carline to pick up my little girl from school, and while that seems lame I know, I love being their for her. It makes my day when she smiles and tells me about her day at school. The same was true for my little guy, today was the last day I got to take him and pick him up form school. Before school starts he gives me a BIG HUG and Kiss and when he is released from school he comes running to me with a huge smile yelling "Mommy!!!" 
They both make my heart melt. 

While I have enjoyed my time at home, I am extremely excited about my job opportunity! The Asbury MSW program has been amazing. I feel equipped and ready to tackle this job straight on. The professors have done an amazing job helping me to integrate my faith into my practice. Working with people is a passion and a love I have. God has called us me to minister to the poor, the widow, the oppressed, and the vulnerable.
