Pregs

Omg I haven't gotten on here in months. That is a darn shame. At least I think I have somewhat of an excuse...maybe sorta.
Today, I have reached week 21 of pregnancy! And let me tell you, it's not been an easy go at it so far. This is my first and some days I swear my last! (okay, maybe that's going too far)
I was sick for four solid months, I've never experienced anything like it...which I guess is probably accurate for most - there's probably nothing quite like having a fetus growing inside of you (my midwife actually referred to it as a parasite sucking the life out of me)! I honestly thought it was never going to end, but alas! I seem to be over "the hump."

So, here I am - back thinking I can write and maybe post some photos about my world. It's probably safe to say that from here on out - for a while - it will consist of what it's like being pregnant, then all about my baby...just guessing. I will try to keep it spicy though, because that could get boring! (or do babies not get boring?)

To sum up the happenings since I've last blogged, some major events have taken place - most notably, my grandma passing away. I will dedicate a separate post just for her once I've gathered my thoughts. But it happened fast, and she is missed very very much. **Please don't take your friends and family for granted - and please don't go on with your life like you've got forever to live...because you never know when it's going to be taken away from you. PS - Cancer can go to hell.

Another notable note was my little baby sister getting engaged on Christmas day! Does anybody have advice for when this happens? She is too young! isn't she?! Okay, no, she's not...but she's still my little baby sister and I can't hardly believe it. I guess we are all getting older and older... what's the saying again..."we aren't getting any younger." haha! She's happy, she's loved, and she's going to experience such a great thing...I can't wait until December 1 this year to celebrate such a wonderful life event!

Sooo..the new year came - and I honestly don't even remember what I did because I'm guessing my face was in the toilet or something..? Oh, actually, I think hubs and I spent a romantic evening at our house (watching TV), I fell asleep, and he woke me up just before midnight...then I went back to sleep. :) Exactly how I imagined New Year's! I hope you all had a steamin' good time and brought 2012 in with gusto! Bring it on 2012!

In February, what I like to call mine and hubs' "fake anniversary" happened... 10 years ago we started dating. Yes, he was almost 16 (that sounds better than saying he was 15...) I still wake up every day thankful for him and for our life together. Now he's going to be my baby daddy! can't wait!

So, here we are - into March already. Which means my favorite time of the year...MARCH MADNESS. If you dont' know what that is, then please google it or ask anybody else in the universe.

In other news, our TV recently broke. It was a beautiful 50" Plasma Insigna from Best Buy (my wedding gift three years ago) - it shut itself off and said 'peace out!' forever. It lived a good life, worked hard for many hours, but in my opinion puttered out a little soon. Oh well, it has been replaced (just in time for MARCH MADNESS!) Oh, by the way, I am name dropping that brand (Insignia) because I don't recommend them. Hello brand spankin' new 55' LED Samsung...I heart you.

Taxes are done, thanks to hubs. I slept through most of it. But again, I have an excuse (right?!)

We gave my dog a hair cut, I've notified my boss that I will be a stay at home mommy once my little BOY arrives, and all in all my life is in order.

How are you and what's new?
