This is by far the sweetest picture that I have ever seen! Its priceless. This our niece Haylee, she's so freaking cute. Just think red hair, chubby cheeks and a whole lot of personality! Josh may seem like a big man but really he's the biggest softy I've ever known. I'm spoiled silly and I'm not going to lie...I love it! He really is so good to me! One of my most favorite things about Josh is his enormous love for his nieces and nephews. I love seeing him play with kids and I'm sorry to gush but it really is the cutest thing ever! Moms to be and Mommies already aren't we so lucky to have such great men in our lives? What's the cutest thing your husband has ever done?

I AM...

I am... a soon to be mommy (kinda scary to think about)

I think... of what my future holds for me

I want... to be out of debt

I have... morning sickness

I miss... my good friend Ashley

I fear...spiders and people not liking me

I feel... nauseous and exhausted

I hear... people talking on their phones

I smell... popcorn...blah!!

I crave... cold Clausen pickles

I cry... all the time...hormones and stress

I regret... nothing...life is too short to go on that train

I search... for myself...yes all this time and I'm still learning who I am

I wonder... where Josh and I will be in the future

I wish... I won the lottery!!

I love... to sleep, I feel like I can't get enought

I care... about my family and friends

I always... think about our finances, I don't want to be a bum

I worry... about how scary the world is

I am not... a good friend, I'm a bit flaky

I remember... the carefree times

I believe... that if we have faith and trust in the Lord we can find greater joy and direction in our lives.

I sing... in the car and in the shower

I don't always... brush my teeth...I know its gross but I have gag issues

I argue... when I feel like I need to

I write... to remember and relieve myself of any tension

I lose... lots of sleep because I have to go the bathroom in the middle of the night

I listen... to country, church, r & b, punk-rock, classical, musicals

I can usually be found... asleep in my bed

I need... some time to be alone and not have anything on my mind

I forget... to be a lady

I am happy... when Josh is happy

I tag... Cajsa, Melissa, Erika, Emilee, Heava aka Heather & Stupid aka Meagan

"I became bulimic......." "you can read minds?!!"

This baby is seriously kicking my butt. I've lost weight and I secretly want to be happy about it but it feels so unhealthy to puke my guts out all day. The last couple of days have been hellish, I get on waves nausea and eventually vomiting. Its horrible. I used to cry when I threw up and dry heave a ton until my abs and back were sore. Gross, right? I feel like I've tried everything to keep the nausea/up-chuck fits at a minimum but can't seem to get the perfect recipe..maybe there is none and I'm doomed to let my little alien take over my body. Any suggestions? I've tried the following:

Crackers - graham crackers & saltines
Crackers with peanut butter
Lemonade
Lemonade while eating potato chips
Sucking on hard candies - Lemonheads, mints, jolly ranchers..etc
Drinking tablespoons of water every half hour
Eating little meals - eating anything just sounds gross to me

I want to try those psi bands but I'm not sure if its just a hoax. I have some friends who aren't even sick...I'm jealous of them. It just sucks that I can't take my prenatals right now and its hard to swallow anything because it floats right back up. Your suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Do's & Don'ts

These always put a smile on my face!

Then comes baby..

Is it gross that I put a picture of a stick I peed on? Perhaps. After much debate with Josh how the cheapy Equate brand pregnancy test did in fact have two lines, I proved him wrong and did my business on an advanced pregnancy test(I highly recommend Clearblue, it doesn't mess around, straight facts). To be honest I was starting to second guess myself, maybe I did imagine that other line, thanks Clearblue for clearing it up for me! So, Josh was still sleeping and I jumped on him to show him that I was indeed knocked up. We're both EXTREMELY excited! If you know Josh and I, you know that we can't keep our mouths shut, its impossible. So what did we do? Josh told everyone at church and to get back at him for telling everyone at church I told our families. Our first appointment is February 4th and we are stoked to the hear the little beat! Here's my evidence: Two lines am I right?

When Life Gives You Lemons....

I love feeding this kid. His faces crack me up! Today, I gave him a slice of lemon, its too funny to see him wince, I know I'm evil.

Blackout!
