Ugh

I think if I could afford it, I would ask to be put onto a medically induced coma until my due date. Seriously. 
Call me a whimp, but this is effing hard :(

Procrastinating...

So right now I have about enough time to shower or make a blog post.  Guess which I chose?
Yeah, I don't feel like doing much today but I have so much to do!  Instead, I am just going to let that go for a moment and make a little bloggie update.

So I had my 12 week appointment on Monday.  It went well.  They found that baby's heartbeat (took quite some time- made me a little nervous in fact), but it was there! My parents are in town so we were able to bring them in as well to listen to it.  I feel a lot less anxiety knowing the baby has a heartbeat.  I know things can still happen, but I feel a little bit better.

I am still really nauseous a lot.  My medicine does help though when I take it but it has other side effects that make me not as eager to take it on a daily basis.  I was very sick about a week ago and was throwing up all day long so I had some priesthood come over and give me a blessing.  It was really nice, and they said Heavenly Father is very excited to send this baby to our family and that made me feel really good.  Even with a planned pregnancy, there are always doubts, at least for me there are.  Moments where you wonder, am I really ready for this? Can I really raise another child when I'm doing such a mediocre job with the one I already have?  But I feel such a strong peace around me when I think about this baby and know that everything will be okay.  It is a great blessing to know our Heavenly Father has a plan for us. 

I haven't had many food cravings since my taco and italian food phase passed.  Mainly I want sandwiches sprouts and bagels a lot, oh and gyros!  I broke down the other day and spent about $8 at Einstein's Bagels and had the most delicious bagel panini.  I could eat that every day of my life. But not for $8 a sandwich.  ;)
  I'm beginning to see why Jack spends all his extra money on food.  I never get excited about food really, but when I'm pregnant, I have very strong opinions of it.

We are getting ready for our vacation which I am SO SO SO SOOO looking forward to.  It will be really nice to get away from home and work and just have time to spend with family.  I feel like my work schedule gets in the way a lot of me being able to talk to friends and family, and even though I love my job, it gets discouraging sometimes to not have that flexibility during the day so many of my friends do.  I'm hoping when my schedule finally changes in about September and I go back to only working 3 days a week again it will get better.

I guess that is about all for now.  If I get off now, I may still have time for that shower after all.  :)
