The Prego 'Firsts'

Some "firsts" since I've been pregnant:

* I ate a chicken and garlic pizza last night with hot sauce all over the top.

* I can't stand the look and smell of hummus. Typing the word makes me gag.

* I no longer can watch TLC channel without crying. Couldn't really before either. ;)

* I finally was graced with the presence of heartburn. (not surprised! I practically drink hot sauce lately.)

* I have discovered clever ways to fit into my pants. Rubber bands work wonders!

* I swear I see a million prego ladies a day where before I didn't really notice.

* Drinking water stops a couple hours before I go to bed. The bathroom has never seen so much of me in the early morning hours.

* I do the pregnant shuffle trying to get to my front door in 100 degree heat. It's awful and funny at the same time. My body just won't get up and go!

* I've had men and women touch my tummy. Some asking 'how many' I have in there. ;(

* My husband has been a saint. (Not saying that he never was before the baby Ala) He cooks, helps me clean, does laundry, and the best of all has been cleaning the cat box! Holy cow I never thought I'd see the day when Jeremy would be scoopin' cat poo.

* I'm scared. I've never felt so vulnerable. I pray that everything is going good in that tiny basketball belly of mine. It's hard not knowing until your next appointment that your baby is healthy and has a heartbeat.

* I can't wait to be a mom. I also can't wait to see Jeremy, mom, and dad be the best family our children could ever hope for. It's a fun journey for sure!


The belly pictures will soon make their debut. ;)

AHA! Great Music all day!

I've discovered something great! It's called Pandora.com. I've found that I can go onto the website and actually listen to the FULL song (and others like it) before I go on itunes and make a purchase. I've had this new found 'internet radio' going all day. Hope you enjoy it too! Unless of course this is nothing new and you all already figured this out.

Butterfingers

I dropped an entire bottle of Tapatio hot sauce on the kitchen floor. The bottle was huge, and so was the mess. It looked like a murder scene in there, and smelled like a pepper factory. I had glass in my hair, hot sauce on the ceiling, walls, stove, and probably the cat. I wanted so badly to burst out crying and frantically grab some chips or a spoon to save what I could. ;(

Tapatio has been the only thing baby Ala's been craving a LOT of. I put it on everything lately. E-v-e-r-ything. So....goodbye vat of red spicy deliciousness. I will soon replace you with something more...plastic and buoyant.
