Snow and Cold Out East

I hate to be negative here but I am not a winter fan at all. Granted I have heard from people who live in warmer climates that the cool weather comes there too, and they feel cold just as we do here out east. But come on....18 degrees versus 40. I will take 40 any day over that. I think it is just something with the bone chilling cold that I don't like. Fortunately I have some comfortable PJ pants and some lovely new socks to bundle up. My plans for this Sunday include a cardio workout and a nice crockpot meal. I am hoping to watch a movie too. What are your plans for this Sunday? What is your favorite way to warm up?

The Heart of it All

Today I went to my 8 week checkup. I cannot believe it is 8 weeks! We had an ultrasound and I saw the little baby's heart beating. What a huge sigh of relief and a good feeling. My husband got tears in his eyes. We love our doctor and just know this is going to be an amazing journey!

Sweats

Sunday sweat suit day is great. It involves the couch a comfortable pair of sweatpants and me. You know I have never been a big nap lover, but right now, there is nothing better. Today it is rainy and decently warm, but overcast and rainy. I plan on going to 9 am spinning class and then coming home and changing into my favorite lounge wear. Can anyone imagine anything any better? I love it!

Merry Christmas Blogsphere!

Merry Christmas, yesterday we told my family the good news, and today we are going to be surprising my husband's family. This is the best Christmas ever. My parents were so thrilled! I knew they would be happy but they were happier than I could have imagined and they cannot wait for all the preparations. I am now in the middle of my 6th week and I am fighting constant morning sickness. I love it because I know it is my body protecting my baby but at the same time I hate being nauseous. Anyone who has read my blog knows I am a health freak, okay a health freak who loves her vices like gummy bears, but anyways....I have been drinking the ginger ale and eating oyster crackers and gold fish! Merry Christmas. I would love to know how everyone is celebrating their special day!

5 and 1/2 weeks PREGNANT!

Mood swings. Yes, they exist. Today I just want to curl up and relax. Oh wait that is what I have wanted to do all week. The fatigue is intense and I have to go to the bathroom about 100 times a day. Fortunately I have new pajamas and sweats for my extra time relaxing. I went spinning today. I think my 5 week and 2 day old baby liked it. I have also been giving my baby lots of healthy veggies and lots of water. But that isn't the best part. The best part is I just cooked quinoa spaghetti for dinner tonight with vegan meatballs and the hubby ate it all up. He didn't even know that it was a vegan meal! Go me. If he had an idea he would have kindly asked, while saying umm, what is the spice in these meatballs. There would have been some left on the plate too, even if he was polite and said he liked them. I think he likes vegan and veggies. What a cute guy. He used to always say, "ewww, this tastes vegan" and today, he didn't. So he reads the label first and then says that.

Slacker Reporting

Yep, it is me here. I am reporting that I did not update my blog header until December 5th. I even posted with an old blog header. You know the whole idea to do a different header came about because I love Wishcake's Blog (Simply, Me), and she always changes her header every month. She is more diligent that me apparently. And no, sorry Wishcake readers. I am not going to be video blogging. That is beyond my comfort zone. I love watching her do it though. Would you video blog?

The most

I am 100% by far the most impatient person I know. If you have been reading this blog, you my know that the husband and I are no longer avoiding baby. To him this means, no longer avoiding, to me, this means a lesson in waiting and remaining cool and collected. I am now in the famous 2 weeks waiting time. Not sure what to do to ease the questions in my mind, and how to calm the hope and wonder. Regardless, one thing that helps is the fact that those darn pregnancy tests are quite expensive. All you blogger Mom's out there, feel free to share your experiences. I would love to know. Oh yeah, and when couples are "seriously" trying I know what they are doing now, and how often, thanks to the internet.
