it's all fun and games

week 14

bawahhhh
so how i feel
sigh

14 weeks. comparing the belly shot above to nate's pregnancy, i am about as big as i was with him at.....19 weeks!
oya. i am gonna be huge (this is big for me!)

i feel good. i weighed myself and i am up another 3 pounds (in a week!) so yeah. i've been eating....and eating....and eating.....everything just takes so good! ha!

everything is good. i feel better, getting ready to feel the movement soon! other than that, it's been another week!

*i told chris NOT to take a pic of my face....and he did....sigh....and that would be the reason why i am making a face! 0 comments

chris wanted me to watch the above video, which flows with the wed night study. it's 10 mins long but for those who are taking the driven by eternity course will fully get what he's talking about...it's worth the 10 min to watch! 0 comments

rocket ship

after lunch nate asked me if i would "help him make the biggest, most gigantic, huge rocket ship in all the universe that i never seen before" how could i possibly say no to that!?!

what a hoot we had, i built the base and he added the rest. we ended up making 4 of them
it was seriously nice to play with my boy and enjoy it. i think i had more fun than him! thanks uncle lego for the lego! 0 comments

blues blues blues

what is it? the weather? the cold? the jan blues? does it not seem that everyone is cranky, tired, annoyed and just all around blue? man oh man. chris and i have had a doozie of a couple nights, not sleeping. then we get up feeling worse than the day before. it's just the oddest thing!

i am going out with the girls tonight. thank goodness. i need me a break and some time to laugh!

spirit meat for those tired bones of mine....the sun will come back, my feet will sport flip flops again....soon....

Have you never heard?
Have you never understood?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of all the earth.
He never grows weak or weary.
No one can measure the depths of his understanding.
He gives power to the weak
and strength to the powerless.
Even youths will become weak and tired,
and young men will fall in exhaustion.
But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength.
They will soar high on wings like eagles.
They will run and not grow weary.
They will walk and not faint.

just give me the energy to soar today, tomorrow and the next

perky non skin showing belly pic!

well. i stepped on the scale. all i can say is that i haven't seen that number in a LONG time....wow....shocking...i told chris what i weight, he laughed! it's a lot of weight gain! maybe too many chips? ha. seriously, i choose to embrace the whole journey. the weight will come off. but i do want to gain slow and steady and stay healthy

my diet is good. i eat balanced and lots of meat. esp chicken! my new fav foods and why in all heaven and good great things does food just taste so much yummier when you are pregnant???? anyways this week i adore

-chicken with mustard!

-chicken with mayo!

-chicken with honey mustard!

-meat ball with loads of ketchup!

-cheesies! and party mix. yummio!

-veggies, steamed with chicken and sweat and sour sauce! de-vi-ne!

-nuts-peanuts, walnuts, almonds and cranberry's!

-golden delish apples, at least 2 a day for sure!

-banana and peanut butter, SO good

hungry yet???? mmmmmmmmmmm food is so delightful! ha!

and i had my first charlie horse. it was painful but thanks to loads of practice from nate, chris has it down to a science, i yell, he jumps up, straightens my leg and voila gone! but i do have cramps for a few days after

nate funny. i asked him the other day what he wants to name the baby, he said "fish" then he said no! i really mean blue fish! so blue fish is on the list. i think nate is more excited about the baby than me!

and that's my prego update for this week!

wards 1934

my mom sent me this forward, which i thought was cool cause normally (sorry mom) i don't read forwards...but this one caught my eye and i peeked at it
first off thou, i have never heard of wards? maybe they went out of biz cause of their high prices. haha

seriously, i adore these outfits! why can't they come back in? the cute skirt and the hat? i am on and all over that one and all for 5 bucks? steal!

adorableness that is only catalogue worthy....cause we all know that kids keep their clothing looking like this

shoes! i actually like some of them (not the bottom left fringe one)

ursi! this is for you! you can get 25 chicks for 2 buckos! you could totally buy a bunch and support your family on them. !

finally the order form. what cracked me up is the bottom line...if you are married and ordered more than 100 the husband and wife must sign?! what?! good thing times have changed. what happened at the mall stays at the mall.................
