My dilemma!!

Well this pregnancy has been pretty easy for me! I don't work and I don't go to school which most of you know! So I sleep in as long... as I want, take naps whenever I want, and just can be all around lazy!! Although that sounds like a good thing I feel like anytime I do anything that causes my muscles to work at all I am sore the next day! I think that is a bad sign haha! So there is one thing that I need to improve in this pregnancy! Also I had one really weird thing happen to me the other day. Brandon and I were coming home from the grocery store and we were going to make dinner when we got home.. thank goodness because I was really.. hungry! Anyways, so as we rounded the corner my eyes got really tired (I am talking stinging and everything) but, that was not the weird part. The weird part was that right after my eyes felt tired I got SUPER dizzy!! It was as if I was on a REALLY rocky boat! I could not even get out of the car and stand on my own with out Brandon helping me stay on my feet! I literally got out of the car and started falling over..! He had to put his arm around me and take me in the house! It was THE weirdest feeling ever. So I had to lay on the couch and Brandon got dinner ready and brought over some water for me because I thought maybe I just needed more water in my system. Then I ate some carrots and ranch since dinner was taking a little bit. I started feeling a bit better after a little bit of laying down and closing my eyes! So I don't know if I just really needed food in my system or what but that was definitely not very fun! Thankfully it only lasted like a half hour and it has not happened in the last 2 days! So I have had 2 weird things happen in this pregnancy haha! Also something weird is that my stomach really likes to twitch.. sometimes my muscles twitch where my uterus would be. I know that it is not the baby because when it did that the baby was too small to feel but it was weird. One morning I woke up and my muscles were all spazing out haha it was pretty funny! So I just hope that I can determine the difference between my muscle spazims and the baby actually moving when that point comes haha! So anyways here is the dilemma that I have ran into. It deals with eating and food!! I am not the type of person who really can ever decide things, ESPECIALLY when it comes to eating! It has become even harder now that I have to eat ALL THE TIME!! haha I never know what I want to eat and so I just think I will wait (if it is close enough) till lunch or dinner time. That never goes over very well. I end up thinking I am going to wait and then I start feeling weaker and I know that the idea of waiting is not an option so I have to figure out what to eat right then. Which is a very hard thing for me to do. Normally if we have chips around that is what I resort to (a quick fix). However, if we have fruit around then I try to go for that, but, fruit never fills me up at all. So I eat the fruit and then go for something else. The hard part that I find is that I seem to be hungry at the worst possible times (at least for me). For example, tonight I had a yummy dinner and then an hour later I ate some popcorn with my friend as we watched "The Bachelor", then I had a brownie after that and drank a good amount of water. As soon as I got home I felt famished!! I thought great it is 10:00 at night and I have no.. idea what to eat. I did not want to eat a lot more but when I feel soo hungry it is hard not to. So I ate some strawberries which did nothing at all for me and then ate a couple of chicken wings that I cooked for Brandon and I. After that I was still hungry.. so I had some peanut butter on a piece of bread! I was pretty good after that but honestly after like 20 minutes I could eat more!! I want to be good and not gain too much weight during this pregnancy but I do not want to starve my little one. It is so hard for me. Literally! I think the hardest part is that when I am super super hungry I never know what I want to eat. To me this is a dilemma! I feel like I should have an easy time just snacking and eating stuff but I am soo indecisive that I can never make up my mind until I really NEED food in my system! Then when I hit that point I feel bad that I waited until then to eat! So this is my main dilemma right now! Eating!!! Pretty funny that I would have a problem figuring out what I want to eat! I thought it would be easier! I would just feel a little hungry and just go grab what I want! No such luck haha! I just hope that I can get better at just snacking all the time so that I don't starve this little baby! Especially since I am starting into my second trimester and I know that babies need a more constant nourishment than before! So wish me luck!! :-)

Heartbeats!!

So this morning I had the awesome experience of hearing our babies heartbeat for the first time! It was so amazing...! I was so nervous to go to the doctors and not be able to hear the heartbeat!! Thankfully my worries were just worries! The sound of the babies heart beating was so amazing to hear! I don't think I knew how I would feel when I heard it. I knew that I would be happy and that it would be so nice to hear but, when I heard that thub dub of my babies heart I was pretty much in aw! The babies heart rate was at 150 and the doctor said that the baby was moving around alot! I was so happy to hear this. It really is a miracle. I do not understand how someone can go through something like this and not believe that there is a God! I am seriously soo.. blessed. Anyways, I just wanted to share this and say that I am sooo excited and happy that our baby is doing well soo far! I am also excited that I only have one more week in my first trimester! I can't wait to feel this baby moving around, that will make this all seem even more real! :-)

Wierd!!

So today was the first time in this pregnancy that I threw up!! Yes thats right! It was the weirdest thing ever! I started out the morning perfectly fine. Nothing was wrong at all I had a good sized bowl of cereal and then about and hour later took my vitamins. Everything was going great, I just relaxing and checking facebook and of coarse my blog. By the time it was 11:30 I decided that it was about lunch time but I did not want lunch yet I really wanted fruit snacks! So I grabbed some fruit snacks and sat on the couch watching some T.V. Then just as I had swallowed my last fruit snack I had an immediate "I am going to throw up" feeling. I ran into the bathroom and up-chucked pretty much everything I ate and drank that morning!! And just as fast as that feeling came it went! I had just thrown up and then was perfectly fine. A little weak so I drank a lot of water and waited a bit before I ate anything, just in case my stomach was still not happy with me! However, I was completely fine and ate a lot for lunch and that was it. It was THE weirdest thing ever!! So now my lovely story about how I never got sick during pregnancy has to end. At least it was only today and at least I did not feel sick at all before or after!! What a weird thing! haha anyways so that is what happened today just thought I would let you all know! haha :-)

Christmas Break and the Begining of the New Year!!

Well to start out our Christmas break we drove for 14 and a half hours to get to good ol' Idaho Falls. We left at about 9 in the morning and got into Idaho at around 11:30. VERY.... long day. Thankfully my prayers were answered and we did not have to stop every 2 hours for me to go to the bathroom. I even drank a good amount of stuff but I only went to the restroom when we stopped for gas. Well I guess that is not entirely true. We would stop before we needed to fill up so that I could take a pit stop and so we would top off the gas and grab something to eat if it was close to lunch or dinner time. So at least the trip was not really prolonged because of my shrinking blatter. We also listened to the "Hunger Games" which is an awesome book. That made our trip go by a lot faster. So anyways, we finally got to our destination. Since it was so late there was time for a little chat and then off to bed. We had fun in Idaho with Brandon's family playing the wii and playstation and card games and just hanging out. Oh, and of coarse playing with the Coya's little 5 month old girl. We also went as a family to dinner and a movie one of the nights. We saw "Blind Side" it was a very good movie. Totally a feel good movie and we really enjoyed it. It was a lot of fun. Christmas was different than what I am used to but then again it was my first Christmas away from home. So it was bound to be different. None the less it was good. Then after spending time in Idaho with Brandon's family it was time to head down to California to see my family for a couple of days. Now normally the trip from Idaho to California takes us about 11 and a half hours to 12 hours. However, we never make the trip in the snow. Of coarse the snow had to wait until we were leaving to make its way into Idaho. So we hit snowy slick roads pretty much all the way through Utah which added on a couple of hours. Then we hit traffic going from Vegas to California. So our usual 12 hour trip became a 15 hour trip. It was a very.... long day. Both Brandon and I were soo.. sick of being in the car that the thought of having to drive another 4 and a half back home in a couple of days was not very thrilling to think about. Being in California with my family was nice though. We slept in and relaxed and had Christmas with them as well. One night we had a fire outside and talked about memories and things like that. It was a lot of fun just talking with the fam. My little sister Ashley was leaving for Utah that weekend so my mom and dad made sure to get her so she could spend time with all of us before she headed away from home for the first time. On New Years eve we did not do what we normally do each year but it was still fun. We played games and watched a movie and then at midnight we all ran outside banging our pots and pans and screaming HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! It was Brandon's first time doing this and he laughed the entire time we were running around outside. It was really funny. Then on Saturday we all went and saw the movie "Invictus" It was a really good feel good movie too. After we headed to costco since my mom had to get somethings there and we go pizza for lunch and I was STARVING.... it is not good when I get to that point because I get very grumpy and very week. So that was not fun but once I had food in me I felt much better. That was pretty much the end of our time with my family. It is always sad to leave but its also good to get home. Now that Brandon has started school again and I am back to the normal being alone and lazy days it is hard for me to get into the mood to clean. I have sooo much cleaning to do and yet I really do not want to do it. I feel so lazy, all I want to do is sit around and eat and bundle up in a blanket and watch T.V. or read a book. Hopefully this laziness will end with my second trimester. As for right now I probably just better suck it up and start cleaning and then I can nap and be lazy latter. Well here is to trying hahaha! Well that is about it for now. I will put some pictures up of mine and Brandon's Christmas with each other soon. :-)
