Aching back :(

My back has been hurting since last Thursday and it is really bugging me. I hope this isn't a prediction of what's to come with this pregnancy. If it gets too bad then I will go see a specialist or something. I just don't feel like going to the chiropractor b/c I pay 15 bucks a pop and it seems to just fix me for the short term. I am sitting here on my couch and it smells so bad like someone is burning outside. I smell it everynight and oh, it stinks! Then in the morning Cyrus does his morning ritual at 6:30am Everyday, and I smell that too.

Too much going on, not enough free time...

Work has been super busy and there is so much changing going on in my life that I haven't felt like posting lately. Not like anyone reads this anyways. I can't wait to go to the Train concert this weekend. Finally a day to forget about everything and have fun. I am too serious of a person. The baby's been moving a lot lately, especially when I am laying down. Jekyll woke me up at 5:30 this morning meowing away. I thought we locked him in the back porch so I hurriedly got out of bed only to see him in front of the back door, wanting to go on the back porch. There must have been an animal under the porch or something. Anyways, I go back to sleep and wake up at my usual 6:30ish and finally up at 7. Had a big breakfast at work and Zoe sure ate alot. Got home late tonight and baked a cake. It is cooling down now but I can't wait to eat it!! My back hurts, I am tired, and it feels like my tummy is pushing outward and feels tight.

Seems like I am always hungry these days. Good thing I bought a box of cereal tonight so I can snack on...Yummy Cinnamon Toast Crunch. This weekend we accomplished the baby registry at Babies R US. It was overwhelming to see all of the baby stuff there is! It is really fun scanning all of the baby stuff and imagining what the baby's room will look like though. Thank goodness we have a 3 day weekend this week!! Yay for Good Friday. Anyways, looks like this week is a very busy work week and I will be on my toes. I hope tomorrow morning goes by quickly and things move along. Off to eat my cereal.

Guess who

I wonder who's under the blanket.....


Oh, it's Cyrus.

Whew, today was a busy day. I got to work this morning, hit the gound running, and hadn't stopped since I got home. I made some dinner and baby Zoe enjoyed the food I think. She was wiggling around when I finished and was making me giggle cuz it kinda tickled. Tomorrow is Friday and I have so much work to do...I am hoping to go in early. Uggg. I am trying not to overwork myself but the crap just keeps piling up and I am not going to get caught up!! I can't wait til the weekend, maybe I will go baby shopping!!

My wiggle worm

We had another ultrasound today and saw our little wiggle worm. They said it looks to be a girl as the tech did not see any boy parts and saw girl parts. So, Zoe Grace it will be! We are excited and are thinking pink!

20 weeks

5 months pregnant today, only 4 more months to go!! I have been feeling more today and it is great! We love you in there!!!

The sleepy cat

I think my baby's growing today. I've felt a little pressure this morning and this afternoon when I got home from work. I am really tired as today was an early day and I was up at 6:30 to be at a meeting at 8:00am. I don't know why I did that to myself but note to self: Don't schedule meetings on monday mornings. Anyways, it worked out well because I ended the afternoon about 15 minutes early anyways so I was happy.

Playing with photoshop today and made this collage. I am going to do some more later but for now I have some ironing to do. Happy Sunday!

Sunny

Why do I watch Soap Operas? These darn people have untreated mental health problems and it is really annoying. For instance, why does Theresa keep going after Ethan when he is married and does not like her. She is so psychotic and he mom needs to admit her to the hospital. Anyways, today I took a well deserved half day and am catching up on some daytime television. What a lazy day.

cold cold, go away

There is really nothing good on tv tonight. I am watching this show called invasion and it looks pretty interesting, a girl is pregnant with alien beings and is having a "litter." Glad I'm not having a litter, just one. I started a cold today and my nose is runny and cloggy and my head hurt. Feeling better now but if I had it my way, I would have taken a sick day this morning. But, I am not that lucky b/c I had work to do. I can't believe that by the end of next week I will be at 20 weeks...that's half way to the end already. The baby is getting bigger everyday and I am waking up more at night. I can't wait to have another ultrasound.

Tired and leaky...

I am exhausted and it is only Monday,ack. Thankfully I am taking Friday afternoon off. I worked 2 hours over today and most of the time I was driving so why would I be so tired?? I need to get a book to read because all I have been reading are pregnancy books and I am getting tired of reading the same things over and over. I have been getting up 2 or 3 times in the middle of the night lately too. MMM, the smell of baking brownies!! yummy...

Mondays and Fridays are the worst days of the week, I so dread them. I did not want to go to work today and I just didn't have the energy to do much this morning but I did. I wish I could do office work all day. I spent the afternoon driving to and from where I was working and finally got home around 5:40. Then, Chad and I went swimming tonight for some exercise. Tomorrow is a late night.

Feeling better

Hmm...This morning I woke up at 5:00am to go to the bathroom and what do you know, I couldn't go back to bed so I just tossed and turned. So, I get out of bed around 7:10 to and take shower while Chad went to the Zoo to get us free zoo tickets, thanks Star 104.

I am very testy these days and am very emotional, hence, I cry a lot. Chad can say anything to rub me the wrong way, or I can watch something on tv and I am a raging river. It is totally not me. For instance, tonight I was watching Ghost Whisperer that I DVR'd from Sunday and by the end, I was balling...it was about adoption and I deal a lot about adoption at work. Anyways, work wasn't as bad as I thought it would be and that made me feel a lot better. I finally got my car washed and that was a big load on my shoulders. I hope this month is upward movement from here. January and February have been very difficult for me.

It's monday already...

Monday and I did not feel like working overtime at all so, I left at 5:00 and sucked it up. If I don't get my work done, then I don't. Anyways, I went to the Doctor for a checkup this morning and Chad came with. I have only gained 0.5 pounds since being pregnant. I am feeling hungrier than usual lately so maybe I will gain some more by my next appt. My boss says I'm gonna have a big baby. I'll wait and see. Work sucked and all I wanted to do was go home and I only worked a half day. I am thinking of going into work early tomorrow to finish something up. We'll see if I get there.

Today I received the 2 pair of maternity pants I won from Ebay this weekend. That was fast shipping. I really don't feel like cooking tonight Chad. Please don't make me, I can not make macaroni and cheese with tuna fish, I just can't. You are on your own.

Tired

Boy have I been dragging this week at work. I get up in the morning and can hardly keep my eyes open. I have as much sleep as usual but I think I need a break from work. Next week I think I am going to take a day off, hopefully Monday or Friday. Not much going on today, pretty boring. Maybe tomorrow I will hang out with Pam after work. Maybe do some people watching downtown.

Go USA! Sasha Cohen's Olympic performance tonight was awesome, you go girl! First place for you.

I need to relax...

Oh, I am so happy the weekend is finally here! Last night my back hurt and all I wanted to do is lay down. Today is a day of relaxing besides shivering in the freezing cold. Other than that, I need to do some shopping and take the kids home. Later, Chad and I are going to finish up some work. I still have to watch Wedding Crashers and finish my uncles taxes. Oh, and I have Monday off for President's Day!! I really need it, yay for a long weekend.

Will these sinus headaches ever go away oh and the back pain. For the past 2 days I have driven long distances and is killing my back. On a good note, I bought some new clothes today from Kohl's. They are having their clearance sale and I bought tops for $3.50 a piece!
