Merry New Years! eerrrr... I think?

Pregnancy is making me lose my mind AND my waist line. I feel like this little babe is draining me of IQ and energy, all at the same time! Up is down, left is right, and keyboards are for hand writing letters. It's a weird feeling!

Luckily, I am getting some of my energy back but I feel so bogged down from being pregnant, that I am much more content being lazy than productive. I'm already 14.5 weeks along and it seems kind of surreal still. We've seen the baby, heard the heartbeat, and can see all the outward signs of pregnancy but it still doesn't seem like it is really happening.

When I first started my blog back in January and I started the special diet, I had cravings for all types of foods. Multiply that by 200 and that's how I feel now. I had it so easy back then!

Friend's Facebook Post: I could use some pho or thai curry for lunch.
My response: So could I! *like post*
My response to my sudden realization that I have no access to either food in my town: O_o

Friend's Facebook Post: Just found a recipe for Scalloped Potatoes that looks BOMB.
My response: Can you send that to me?
My response to knowing I won't eat this anytime soon ANYWAY:  :(

I've restarted my playing of The Sims 3 in the last couple of days (vacation + lack of motivation = day on the couch playing Sims 3) and food that my SIMS ARE EATING, appeal to me. Sigh... I will never win. :)

I just got an update email from the Santa Rosa Marathon (End of August of 2013) about their course updates and new offerings and I am so bummed that it is probably too soon after delivery for me to participate. Running while pregnant is safe and was approved by my doctor but I haven't done ANY since my half marathon in November. The most I feel capable of doing right now is walking and even that seems iffy. I cleaned up my garden for 15 minutes this afternoon and it made me sore! Such a change!

But the positives are these: In the next couple of weeks the baby will be able to hear me, in about a month we will know if the babe is a boy or a girl, and at some point in the very near future, my doctor expects that I may be able to feel the baby moving around. Amazing!

Exciting News!

I haven't been blogging but this time, I'm not going to apologize. I've been keeping a huge secret and it's finally gone public.

My husband and I are going to have a baby!(!!!!!!!!!)

Basically, I've had two great things happen to me in a short amount of time. I have a great new job that I LOVE and now I have this little baby that I can't stop thinking about. It's been a wild ride and yes, I did my half marathon as a pregnant lady. I did know at the time and battled severe nausea and sickness the whole way but you know... I did it and now this little babe is an "official runner"!

I'll be blogging more now that I don't have to worry about letting my secret escape. :)
