Pregnancy Update

Pregnancy Update: Last time I went to the Dr, about 2 weeks ago or so I weighed in at 119lbs. Yikes! I can still wear my american eagle size 4 jeans, and my Walmart size 3, along with some pants from old navy (size 4). I haven't started wearing any maternity clothes yet.

Tonight as I was working on my lesson at the computer I felt the baby move, sort of like little kicks for the first time. I'm almost 17 weeks, 2 days away.

Still craving salads, but not eating great. Love me some ice cream also....

Freaking Out

Tonight Kate was in a particularly silly mood as she was trying anything she could to recreate "America's Funniest Home videos" She continued to get louder and sillier concluding with grabbing some of Matt's chips and throwing them in the air. That didn't go over so well with Matt who quickly told her to clean up the chips. I think he was getting a headache from all the screaming the girls were doing, and he wasn't really appreciating Kate's humor. Kate slowly began to clean up the chips while still laughing and being silly. I think this only aggravated her father even more who kindly told her to clean them up faster. Kate looked at him and matter of factly said, "I am cleaning them up, stop Freaking out!"

It was probably one of the funniest things I've ever heard out of her mouth. Only because I can't count the number of times I've heard Matt say things like that to me. Matt didn't think her talking back was as funny and she ended up on time out while I tried as hard as I could to control my laughter.

And being the good wife that I am I kindly reminded Matt who she sounded like. I don't think he appreciated my reminder as much as I did.

Almost 12 weeks

I thought I would do a better job of updating my pregnancy stuff. I've been feeling pretty good and up until this week was wearing my size 2 jeans from american eagle. Although the past few days I've been eating like crap. I've eaten sooo much. I tried the jeans on today and they were super tight. Looks like I need to cut back on the junk. I really don't want to get super fat this pregnancy like I have in the past. So I'm going to try to start keeping a log of what I've been eating. I weighed myself yesterday and it was 116lbs. I about died when I saw that! I can't believe how much I've gained!!!!!

12-2-11
Breakfast: Nutrigrain bar, 1/2 a hot chocolate

Lunch: 1 cup cottage cheese, 2 clementine oranges

Snack: a handful of pretzles

Dinner: a salad from Chipoltle, chicken with beans, rice, corn. and chips and salsa (ate way too much for dinner. I had felt hungry all day, luckily didn't eat any snacks after dinner though! baby steps, right.

Pregnancy

So far I'm 8 weeks along in this pregnancy. I felt great up until about 6 1/2 weeks and for the last week and 1/2 I've felt nauseous all the time. I usually feel fine in the mornings and by lunch I think I'm going to throw up. I've tried to eat healthy and have for the most part except for today which I ate lucky charms, Hershey kisses for lunch, followed by more lucky charms. I think I'm going to barf now.

On the bright side I've been trying hard to work out in the mornings, well at least 3-4 mornings a week. I've been walking for 40 minutes and even did a little jogging the other morning.

I'm weighing in at 111lbs.

Even though I haven't felt very good, I just hope this baby is healthy and that the pregnancy goes by quickly :).

Mommy

As I was putting Kate to bed tonight she said to me, "You'll always be my Mommy, right?" And I feeling a little guilty at that point from the amount of time she had spent on time out this evening, replied, "Yes, I will always be your Mommy." She then thought for a minute and I could see her smile disappear as she said, "Even when your a Grandma you'll still be my Mommy, right? I can still call you Mom can't I?" I could see her face turn sad and the tears start to well up in her eyes. I hugged her tighter than I have in a long time and told her I will always and forever be her Mommy and she can always call me Mom no matter how old I am or she is. She wiped the tears from her eyes as I told her how much I love her and how much she means to me.

It was so sweet and yet so heartbreaking to see her fears that maybe one day I wouldn't be her Mom. I love my girls soooo much and I hope that I tell them as much they need to hear it. I told Kate that Daddy and I got married in the temple so that we could be a family forever, so that I would always be her Mommy. How grateful I feel for that choice that Matt and I made. And for having the gospel of Jesus Christ in my life.

Today while driving the Preschool car pool Gabriella threw a HUGE fit over listening to Sharpay sing from High School Musical. Every time the song would end and another one start she would scream and scream until I switched it back to Sharpay. I later asked her if she loved me and she said "No, I wove Sharpay." I wonder if I should be worried?

Today while I was watching a T.V. show Gabriella said to me, "What dey talking about mommy?" It was too cute and I had no idea she could say that or understand enough to ask that question. I mean seriously, this girl is 2.
