Monday again...

I almost didn't make it out of bed this morning. Thankfully it's only a 4-day work week and then I have a 4-day weekend. However, I will be doing flowers for a wedding this weekend (yay!) so that will eat up some of the time. All I can say is, I am glad I slept so much this weekend. I think I am going to need it!

Regardless, it would be practically impossible to fall asleep at my desk because it is actually 1 degree in this building.

It starts...

They say fatigue is one of the top 5 symptoms of being pregnant in the 1st trimester and holy cow is that true. All I can say is I am glad you get a little break in the 2nd trimester before you ramp up for birth because my gosh I am exhausted! I sleep A LOT right now. Jerry has been so good about it and is taking great care of me so I really have it good. But at the same time, I will be glad to get some energy back. Case in point, last night I was supposed to go bowling with his family and after dinner I could barely hold my head up. He went without me and I went to bed at 9pm only to sleep for 10 hours, get up and eat breakfast and then go back to bed for over 2 more hours! I have just finished 2nd breakfast (hehe - this part is a perk) and now I want ANOTHER nap! It's insanity.

If 'they' are right, I should only have a few more weeks of this. I will say that I haven't been sick at all and for that I am incredibly thankful! You have to take the good with the bad. Overall, so far I am really loving being pregnant!

In other news, we picked 3 cucumbers today! Our garden is really thriving with the exception of some worm-eaten brussels sprout leaves...baby steps...Here are a few pics of the garden and it's splendor !

It's Official!

Jerry and I are having a baby! We are now notifying the internet of our bliss :-) We had our first appointment yesterday and heard the heartbeat. It was a crazy and awesome experience! So far I have been feeling great. Not too sick and mostly just exhausted all the time. SO if I fall asleep while you are right in the middle of a story, my apologies. They say it will get better in a few weeks.


Weeks! I will be 9 weeks tomorrow! Which means only one more month in the treacherous 1st trimester. Now that we are telling, I will be back in business here on ye olde bloge. Lots going on. Have a great day!
