~~~Prego~~~

Have you ever reached that time in your life when you realize that now you have no where to go but forward. Yeah, well thats not alwayse the easiers way to go. Morning Sickness, Body changes, Hormone Changes, Constantly tired, and these are just to name a few of the trees that grow alongside the forward road. Well its official my husband and I are with child. As of the picture my child is .6in long and 8 weeks old. WHOOT!!! Ok so lets go back to the trees. I have had several friends that were pregnate and they enjoyed their whole pregnancy. They had the amazing glow, the funny cravings, and the little baby burps. No No No thats not how this one is working. I have deffinately noticecd that pregnancy is a test of your faith. Nothing more, nothing less.

First we have the Morning Sickness. The worse it is the worse you feel all day, but when the right steps are taken to keep a healthy body, sickness isnt so bad. Now here in lies the problem. Have you ever had the flu? Remember eating with the flu? Morning sickness is alot like the flu, without the fever. I mean alike in every other possible way...literally. I know that the minute my body comes to an awake state....I have possibly 2 minutes tops. In these two minutes prayer and the fetal position about all i can do. After that some time spent sitting down in a shower tends to help. My faith is tested every morning when I get up. Let me tell you, It hurts. Its easy to turn around and blame God for the pain you feel or sickness you have. You cant. God told us that there would be pain in childbirth. Knowing what I know in just 2 months, that doesn't just mean during delivery and labor.

Next we have the body changes. I was a total of 105lbs with my clothes and shoes on and 5'2 flat on the ground, this weight was around 6 weeks( the time you find out positive or negative on a test). I had my first ultrasound on the 8th of August and I weighed 107lbs... 2 lbs 2months. At this rate my baby is starting to double in size....so double 2lbs in 2months. 8lbs 4months. I know I know the math is a little crazy but believe me at my tiny body size I have thought alot about THAT change. I have noticed that my hair grows alot faster... I'm not going to complain!!!!! I was blessed with the Pregnancy Glow. That means that all the extra oil my body is producing isnt turning into major prego acne. I notice that as my body is changing its getting itchier where the skin is stretching. In all my research I have found that Vitamin E lotion is the best cure.

I will try to keep up on this the best I can as I go through my pregnancy. Thanks for Reading.

...Marriage...

So as of May 21, 2011 I no longer have my own space or my own stuff. I didn't think adjusting was going to be this hard, I mean come on the guy is my best friend it will be like one big sleepover every night. WRONG. Now my nights have gone from nice relaxing slumber with my pets at my sides to waking up to the wronchiest breath I have ever had, and I don't mean the dog :). Dont get me wrong there are so many more good things about being married than there are bad things; for instance, I am in no way shape, form, blessing, or gifted in the area of cooking. I have literally burned cold cereal...yep set a bowl on a burning stove and burned it! My husband is an amazing cook with a very creative mind. Another area is, i tend to be a little loose on my house cleaning habits. My husband on the other hand has minor OCD. A match made in Heaven :). There are more pros that I refuse to get into ;) but all in all being married has been an amazing bond that God has blessed. I might get the stinky breath or the waaaaaayyyyyy to hot nights, but in the end I thank God for the companion he has placed in my life. Im thankful for the life he has been able to create for me and the life that he invisions. Im thankful that he is a man who has a soul, heart, and mind that wants to serve God and no one else. For the first time I am comforted by the idea that I come second in my husbands life.
