peachie

week: 13

baby fruit: peach

mood: i think i am getting over the "morning" sickness (which should really be called "alldayterribleheadache" sickness). i get tired of people's moods. i get tired of feeling natious, but always hungry. i am tired. all good signs :)

belly: yup! hard to hide bp anymore...that's ok :) i am growing fond of my stretchy waist pants.

weight gained: last the dr told me, zilch! nada! zero!....but i have a hard time believing that when my pants don't fit.

not sure what else i could report.

FYI - do not google "peaches". i did at work today and i did not realize there were other "peaches" out there besides fruit...

5 hour wait

last week was quite the week...it went something like this.

sunday - church, then was sick
monday - figured out i had the stomach flu
tuesday - flu...stayed in bed till 12:45
wednesday - flu...went to dr...went home to lay back down...sick all day...go to ER...5 hour wait...WHAT...yes, 5 hour wait...my dr was able to get me to labor & delivery...wonderful people...wonderful fluids and drugs
thursday - feeling better...mamma came to visit!!! :)...feeling much better
friday - feeling lots better...gardened all day with mamma...my gardens thank her for coming
saturday - grad party...massages...movie night
sunday - john's birthday (happy birthday!!)...cirque de solei show

...so back to the 5 hour wait. it was a bit insane (understatement). the nurse wasn't joking. she wasn't too friendly or happy either. i walked out of the ER and told her i would rather be sick than wait 5 hours. i called my wonderful dr and they had never heard of a 5 hour wait before and said i couldn't wait 5 hours. then all of the sudden, on floor 2 (labor & delivery), there were smiling faces waiting to see me with a warm bed and a wonderful IV of fluids/drugs. it changed my whole attitude towards having to be there :) john got to watch espn. even better.

it really was a great week...in the end :) loved having my mamma here! i told her she could stay, but i think she needed someplace to plant her car full of flowers. she really did have a car full. her bags sat shotgun on the way home :)

a pea in the pod

i found a new love...a pea in the pod. it is a wonderful maternity store. i found jeans, shorts and a cute cardigan sweater. perfect starter set of clothes :)

thought everyone would love to know.

bye bye hazie!

oh hazel...you were my first post on this blog. so sweet and tiny. now, it is time for you to have other 4 legged friends that are also 5lbs.

although you won't understand what i am saying...tomorrow we are meeting a nice girl named sami who has 2 cats and they want another friend. you will be perfect for them! how can they not love that black spot on your nose :)

you were so loved, but we are moving on now. bye bye hazie!!

for now...you can keep sleeping on my ankles.

shopping...not fun...woah...?!?!

wemt shopping for a pair of jeans today that would fit me and prunie (almost lime). shopping isn't so much fun anymore...i had to ask at every store where the maternity section was...sad day! i am used to the racks and racks of cute and colorful shirts, pants, skirts. i am in uncharted territory and do not prefer to wear stripes and v-necks with a little scrunchie below the ever-growing milk makers!

then i had about 2 pairs of jeans to choose from....really... none of them had cute designs on the pockets. guess i was comparing them to joe's or sevens...my daily fav's...target just doesn't make the cut.

where in the world do i find jeans that are not $100?!?! there are several great looking online places, but i can't really try them on...that's a problem.

however, i do love my sweats and my bazillion pairs of capris that have the folder over waist :)

off to bigger and better things...literally bigger...as big as BP needs (biscuit palmer).

oh and i do love my palmer's cocoa butter lotion. wonderful name. wonderful smell.

:)

growing.

hola all! so our lives are continually growing. we grow up, get married, get a cat, buy a house, get a dog....then what?!?! the progression of life can all be explained by fruits (mostly)...which are also healthy! mustard seed - blueberry - cherry - prune...

What's next for us?? a lime. we have gone from a mustard seed to a prune...almost lime...we are so happy!

haven't figured out what i am talking about yet?? we are expecting a watermelon on jan 3rd. there will be another 2 feet in the palmer house and we couldn't be more excited :)

10.5 weeks down...more to come!

I kind of struggle with this whole adding pictures thing...i need to figure that out.

hello all! i am still not good at this whole blog thing. one of these days it will take over faceboook!! (maybe).
