I felt absolutely horrible most of yesterday >< My poor husband
is probably the biggest casualty in these first few months of
pregnancy. Despite knowing I should be eating fruits and veggies- I
desperately wanted Macaroni and Cheese last night. UNFORTUNATELY all we
had was the SHREK kind, and it just pissed me off (the plan noddles are
the BEST!). It literally took me three hours before i was able to work
up my appetite for anything else!my time schedule is all sorts of
messed up in the begining of this week as well, chris had duty (24 hour
shift) and i had no idea what to do! sleep normally? stay up with him
so i could keep him company through texting? I ended up compromising
and dozing off halfway between normal bedtime, and his alotted sleep
time. gr to heartburn!

Well!
The dog `s and I are just waking up so this will be short! I am much
more relaxed, I saw my baby yesterday :) The little thing really DID
look like a peanut ^^ It kept hiding its eyes from us whenever the
thingy passed over it, and it was so cute!!! It was an actual little
person in there, compared to the heartbeat that it was last time
(although the heartbeat was visible!)We were both realllllly happy!
This was the first time I have ever had an US where they do it on your
belly! It was cold! But I was so friggin happy anyway ^^ We got back to
our Piece of Crap vehicle, and I was holding back tears (Ive been SO
FRIGGIN EMOTIONAL for a week or so!)we are on a hunt for a kitten right
now. This stupid island never has anything you want on it ><
gr!Anyway...
Saturday, March 22nd
weeeeel, we had our third ultrasound on the 14 of this month at 12 weeks:

isn't
it ADORABLE? we were able to hear the heartbeat with the doppler as
well :) the OB said the baby is about a week bigger than it should be
for our due date, so im expecting a baby anywhere from mid-sept. to the
24th. at any rate, it was a special ultrasound :) my mother and
grandmother had flown in from the mainland for a week, so there were a
literal four generations of family in the room during the US!
i'm
still not showing, which is kind of annoying- but i'm over it. the baby
is big and healthy, and as long as that stays the same.. i'll
eventually show.
we
did go buy more comfortable clothing, though. despite my not showing, i
have gained water weight (which is my excuse for fat) and i wanted to
find clothes comfortable for now, and several months from now...
go
to wet seal! they have some very billowy shirts for spring that are
pretty cute, and they will last at least until month 6 for me!
anyway...
the kitty is doing well, too. the woman lied about his age... so the
poor guy is a lot smaller and more of a handful than i had expected
(bottlefeeding and all). oh well, im glad we had him so young for
imprinting! his name is "glitch". those are his eyes at the top of my
page.

thank
goodness for feeling better ^^ it seems the only discomforts i have now
are SEVERE hunger pains throughout the day, uterine growing-pains at
night, peeing all the time, occasional headaches, and heartburn in the
evening time.
not bad at all ^^
the
kitty is doing very well, and is really healthy looking ^^ the dogs are
finally used to the new rules (no jumping on mommy, not allowed on the
couch/bed, the new baby gate we put up to block the from the kitchen).
and we are getting more sleep ^^
woo!
oh, and chris' grey belt training is DONE, so we can go back to being
happy ^^ the marine corps doesn't make having a family very easy for
these guys.
we
are going to paint the nursery in the next couple of weeks. i am sort
of expecting the baby a week or so early, so it's going to be a little
virgo. we are going to paint/decorate accordingly with a more modern,
earth tone look. virgo's love perfection, and are most comfortable when
surrounded by the idea of clean lines and a sanitized room ^^.
anywhooooo
this
baby will sort of round out the mix in the house. there lil ole me, a
water sign. chris is an air sign, and now an earth!! yay! although i
will admit, i am reluctant to add a fire baby to the house...
ok
well.. that is all. we go in on the 11th for our monthly US, and I am
hoping that the Ob can tell us what the gender is :)yay! CONGRATS
mommys who've made it this far!

Well, we
finally figured somethings out that are making life less stressful ^^
We both have debt that needs to be paid off (his credit cards from
iraq, and my repo'd celica, RIP BEAUTIFUL CAR). Well, his most
expensive card is paid off this month! yay! Our first achievement as a
couple ^^ We met last March, so we just hit our "happy
oneyearofknowingeachother" day, too :) We are going to go look at cars
today, sice his POS won't get me and the baby around. We are getting
about 2400 back from Federal, so we are hoping to find a good buy on
base. Lots of people sell their cars for cheap before deploying. yay!
With the rest of the money we are going to pay off his 2nd credit card!
Than it;s just my car, and his last card and we are DONE! I am sooooo
proud of us :) He makes the money, and I manage it ^^ I had a job when
I first got to the island, but it's a little hard to get anywhere
without transportation. ANYWAY. I have decided that getting our kitty
was the best idea, ever. Not only does it take my mind off the
pregnancy (which is nice, since i think about the baby all the time)
but it gives me something constructive to do. Right now we are having
problems switching him to dry food. He wasn't weaned correctly from his
mother, and so when he eats ANYTHING he sucks at it like a nippple...
swallowing air and consequently throwing up. I feel bad for the poor
little guy, but after babying him for two days over it, now we are
having to practice some hard love. I can't WAIT to see the baby on the
11th ^^ It's at 10am as well, so I don''t have to wait all friggin day
like I have been (usually we go around 3). I really hope they can tell
us what the sex is :) We will be 16wks2days, and there are moms finding
out NOW! *ooooh* :) My mom asked to be the first told, and i said OF
COURSE! but she would have been told first anyway, so she didn't even
have to ask. Ok well.. happy week 14 ladies!
