Sunshine

This weekend was fun.
Thursday I went to the movies with my girl friends. Friday Tana and I went a played disk golf and then watched a movie. Yesterday we layed out and soaked up the sun (Lily loves playing in the backyard), Chris came home from Germany, then a few friends came over to have a barbeque and we played apples to apples and pictionary. Overall it was fun! Today Chris, Lily and I are hanging out as a family. It's sunny so we'll probably go hangout outside!

Baby O'Neal is about the size of a grape!

I'm 9 weeks pregnant!!

BINGO!

Saltine Crackers, mayo, and cheese!!!

Yall are SO BORING by the way.

I'll tell you one thing

Getting pregnant is a foreign country was a MISTAKE!

I forgot how terrible it was when I felt at home...
now I'm in such unknown territory feeling miserable!!!

WHY???

Do I crave everything I CAN'T have???

I would kill for a
Schlotzsky's Turkey Original LARGE
or a
CHEESE pizza from that place in NYC I love


UGH I'M DYING!!!

45

I wrote now 45 ENTRIES this month!!!

I need a life!

too fat

Yay I'm back!! (and no surprise there were no family updates)

my labtop broke so I'm using the desktop.

Anyway Chris is in Germany for a class till Sat. night.
I'm excited for a whole week of peace and quiet.
I plan to do NOTHING :) The house is clean so as long as I keep it that way then all I have to do is take care of Lily and RELAX!!!

So Chris has been on a HARCORE diet the past month, because he failed his tape (body fat test). Everyday he eats

Breakfast- 1 bowl of special K cereal or fiber one

lunch- a slimfast and an energy bar

dinner- a smart one meal

(pretty much NOTHING)

so he lost weight... ALOT of weight.

Well how they test in the army is the measure your neck and your stomach and figure out your body fat.

Here's the problem... Chris lost A LOT of weight in his stomach AND a lot of weight in his NECK!!

so no surprise he failed anyway.

He's been doing PT (physical training) 2-3 times a day!

It's just not fair.

We are WAY over due for becoming E-3 and unless his body fat gets down we'll be E-2 FOREVER!

Pretty much the army needs a new way of testing body fat, because evety body is different.

Anyway that's enough.

UPDATE PEOPLE!

our sunday afternoon

This afternoon we got sandwiches and went and had a picnic by the lake. It was really fun! Lily loved feeding the ducks and watching them race to the bread.

I REALLY want another girl

but my gut is still that it's going to be a boy.

I really don't mind having a boy, but I have such CUTE girlie things AND a name I want to use...

But the morning sickness from 1-10 is 3 where as with Lily it was 9.
And I'm just not feeling pregnant at all half the time.
I KNOW it's too early to tell but my guts on a boy.
I wish I could have all girls like my mom... and one boy for Chris and the last name

Lily has gotten more wild over night. I FEAR her turning two. Especially with an infant around.
I'm starting to think I'm not quite ready to be a mother of 2 yet... too late now!

80's night

LOTS OF HAIRSPRAY!!!
Our group
my two favorite chicks
getting ready

My little bean

Baby O'Neal is around the size of a kidney bean.

I'm 8 weeks along

OKAY

I've decided on my girl name :)

I'll have to make a few calls to get permission, but I'm SO IN LOVE with the name.

And there's some background to it, so it's EVEN BETTER!!!

AND It's a winter baby name :)

It's Friday!!

Today will be one BUSY day for me. This morning I got up and went to mandatory training for the soldiers and sold burritos for the FRG. It was very chill actually, but then again I was a little late due the having no idea where it was! Then I came home and I guess the ride home did it to me, but I felt weird and started feeling sick so I took a nap. Now that I’ve woken up I have to HURRY! I have to get this house spotless for Chris’s men only barbeque tonight, I have to get ready and go to a friend’s Pampered Chef party that I committed to go to a couple weeks back, and then I got to hurry and get ready AGAIN and go to shape with some other friends for the 80’s party. Pretty much I’m glad I took that nap. Those two events interfere with each other so I’ll go to part of the papered chef and part of the 80’s party! Blah! I’d rather just go to bed haha. But I already make those commitments AND I’m not allowed in my house tonight. So oh well. I better get to cleaning.

Little miss

This morning I woke up at 7:30 and could not stay out of the bathroom. I couldn’t even keep down some jello cups I bought yesterday. So at around 9 I decided to go back to sleep till Lily woke me up. Well I woke up at 11:30 and didn’t hear a peep. So I got worried and went to check on Lilsters. That sweet child of mine was just sitting there playing on her own! She is such a good girl! Especially because I needed it this morning! So I gave her a rockin’ breakfast! She had cinnamon egos, some jello, a banana, and some whole milk mixed with a little chocolate milk! She was in heaven!

Things that are bothering me!

How Chris just lays down at night and falls asleep instantly. My mind wanders for ATLEAST 20 minutes.

How Chris isn’t as into “Twilight” as I am

How Lily like to stand up in her booster seat

How the summer STILL hasn’t started and probably won’t till July and it will only last a week

How I want to plant a garden of Tulips in my front yard, but I can’t find them anywhere!

How sticky syrup is and that Lily likes to put it in her hair.

.Okay here’s the bottom line… EVERYTHING is bothering me.

my main man

Last night Chris was really sore from the hard Pt he had to do that morning and afternoon so he picked himself up some muscle rub. It smelled like pepto bismol and mint and REALLY STRONG! I couldn’t handle it. So I told him he was making me sick. I then said that I was sleeping downstairs tonight. He all the sudden told me no and that he would. I thought that was sweet that he gave our nice, big, comfy bed up to sleep on a lame couch just for me. I always love all the little things he does for me. Well YESTERDAY I went grocery shopping and got a good amount of food. THEN he got home and it turns out he surprises me with food! So we have an absurd about of food in our house, and this morning I couldn’t find a thing to eat! Pregnancy is getting on my nerves big time!!

deja vu

I went to the grocery store today, because we had no more food in our house. BAD IDEA!! I was in and out of that bathroom and couldn’t buy like anything. It was TERRIBLE! It reminded me of that road trip to Utah when I threw up every 5 minutes! I came home and RAN to the bathroom. Lily is always so interested! She loves watching me throw up. Overall it’s been a pretty crappy day!

Oh

and I've been feeling SO bloated! Seriously I’m not showing AT ALL and I look FAT in all my clothes. I’m wearing the baggiest things I have already

today is lame.

Baby O'Neal is about the size of a blueberry

Today is my first day this pregnancy that I’ve thrown up. To make it worse I ate nothing so I was pretty much just dry heaving. I can’t seem to stop (except right now) NOTHING in my kitchen sounds or looks appetizing. I also have a little cramp going on which is scaring me. I just feel TERRIBLE! I was feeling okay the last couple days and then it just hit today. I can't wait till 2nd trimester!!!

LILY LOVES HER BEAR

I need to get her a doll soon!

(she JUST woke up)

Happy

28th anniversary mom and dad!

momma's new hair :)

I like it because it's a redish brown.

I actually put auburn brown in my hair and it turned out BAD!!!

So I put ash brown in my hair, but it kept a little red so now it's WAY better!!!

I'm SO not showing yet lol
