Ode to a Pregnant Mom!

I hate posting a blog with out a picture so I decided to post two of my husbands amazing drawings. The top one is a picture he drew for a friend who loves Transformers and Halo this took him like 6 mo to complete. (he worked on it when he could) The transformers have so much detail. He used some of his own toys as models. 

The bottom one is some characters he created. Most of them are based off a famous person like there body type. He drew this potentially for a project but the guy he was working on it with never got back to him so It s pretty impressive. These are both double pages and each page is 15 in tall and 10 in wide... so 21 1/4 wide... pretty cool. Comic artists draw there pictures on these huge pages than shrink them down to comic book size to make the detail look even better. This is what he dreams of doing some day professionally.  Ok... I know it looks like I have already done enough posts for one day but most of them were just tags.... so here is for today.

I am almost 8 weeks, and last week I actually started wondering if I was going to be sick at all this pregnancy. With Sami I found out on the 10th and was sick by the end of the month and so well... I knew that by the end of the month I would know. Well valaa... I am sick. So according to myths I have heard if you are the same sickness with the same sex. So more than likely I am going to have another girl. I have found myself not wanting to eat anything because nothing sounds good. I make stuff, like today I made a pan of french fries which sounded good but yucky nope not today. Yesterday though I bought two grilled snack wraps because they sounded good and I ate one and saved the other and ate that one too... and last night I ate a jr whopper so hmm... some things sound good. Right now I am craving cole slaw... odd I know. I am more into the milder tasting things nothing too spicy yuck! So yes we will see. I have only thrown up once and that was because I didn't feel like eating anything. I think the hardest part of being sick like this is that you know that once you get something in your stomach the feeling of sickness will go away and you will feel like eating anything but getting to that point is always so hard. I am learning more and more... once I get the urge that I am hungry I eat something than I don't get the sicky feeling in my stomach. 

Other than that I have been ok I guess. I have been really tired. Last night I went to bed and I haven't been sleeping all that well and so I made myself to go bed early to compensate for the poor sleep because no matter what I am always so tired in the morning. So I went to bed at 9, got up at 11 than slept til 7 got up and took my pill so that when I woke up after 8 when David had to go to work I wouldn't have to wait an hour to eat. So than I didn't feel that sick. My biggest problem is having something for breakfast. Cereal is too sweet, and nothing else sounds good, so this morning I had a bowl of cheerios plan but the texture grossed me out... man.... I just can't win. 

I know that so far this pregnancy is harder than the last for one big thing I have Sami. She likes to bring me books recently to read over and over and over again until I get so annoyed I like to throw them across the room but than that breaks her heart and so I have stopped doing that. ( I know I am a mean mom when I don't feel good). She loves throwing books at my head and kneeing me in the stomach ( I usually don't throw the book across the room unless she throws it at my head). My stomach has been so sore because of bloating and gas etc and so it hurts so bad... and she likes to sit on my shoulder while I am laying on the couch... my favorite... this girl... I love but sometimes it gets so frustrating. She makes messes and I just don't care. My least favorite thing she does is when she grabs onto my pants as I am trying to make food. I am already at my wits end when I am making the food because it takes so dang long to get through that process other than the fact that I am on the urge of running to the toilet but come on let go. 

Yesterday we were at my mom's and my mom I can tell is more annoyed than me that she hasn't started walking yet. I just kinda gave up worrying because it doesn't help. But Sami is so stubborn... she makes such good progress than just doesn't ... whatever. She will start physical therapy here soon and that will help so that we can know that to do to help her. 

Ok well i am done venting... I love my daughter and this unborn child but why did I get pregnant so soon... I don't think there is ever a good time to be pregnant with all the symptoms so oh well. I am excited though think about it every day, and i dreamed about it last night. I don't think it's going to be a girl but my husband and mom were right last time so I just ignore them and let them think what they want to.

Ok I am going to put it to the test, not that it will matter but I want your opinions. 

Here are our choices for names. Here are 4 and you tell me which one you want. 

Girl:

1 choice : Ellen Jean

2 choice: Emma Jean

Boy:

1st choice: Luke David

2nd choice: Jeffrey George

you don't need to know the reasons for the choices but they are meaningful to us so just tell us your honest opinions and we will take it into consideration. 

I also want to add a few things to my things about me list:

29. I have a packing card board box filled with journals. Only a few of them look a like. I have carebears, stawberry shortcake, etc on some of them. I hate writing by hand and have resulted to typing on the computer because I can type faster to keep up with my thoughts. 

30. I collect pez dispensers but haven't done too much collecting since I got married because of lack of money I have over 100 and I have all the Star Wars Pez, a pez t-shirt and a pez watch. 

31. I dye my hair every month. It is naturally brown but I am already going grey. it is heridtary and I do not like to be teased about this. some people are born with nice hair and won't go grey til late in life but for those of us who have to suffer SHUT UP!!!!

32. I have had 4 different bunnies. The last one was killed by my parents dog Scotter. Apparently she "Twinkie" had a death wish and she was over 10 years old. She was my favorite she was black with blue eyes. Jack Russell Terriers are bred to hunt and kill small rodents; birds, squrriels... you name it... and of course cats... My poor parents have had to pay for a couple of cats trip to the vet... I hate cats! I will never own a nother one they are annoying and they pee too much. 

 I have also had several hamsters and fish. My bro and sisters and tell you plenty of stories about this. 

33. I have grown up in a household where Oshi moshi was a great out door game, one leg straight one lep pouchie was a king of the couch game, and My youngest sister was spoiled rotten but than again of course I was too I will admit but she always had nicer clothes. 

34. I fell down the stairs once and at the bottom of my parents stairs is a landing and than you turn the corner into the family room. I was carrying a Kirby vaccum and it's head is made of metal and I tripped half way down the stairs and my left knee went all the way in the wall. And I started crying because I was afraid I was going to get in trouble. 

My sister Suzie was sleeping in the room next to the top of the stairs and she remembers it like this... bump bump bump Oh NO!

35. I have had braces twice. I had them on for a year and than got them taken off but since I have had the skin in between my two front teeth removed I have a splint behind them to keep them together and it came off and so I had to have braces just on my front few teeth until it got re set. 

36. I have broken my nose several times. 

37. I was in a bad car accident when i was 17 and I grounded myself from driving for a month. I haven't been in one that was my fault since. I hit a car it did a 180 jumped a curb and knocked out a chain link fence. My hood was crumpled and my bumper was hanging off. I thought it was a 4 way stop but it was a 2. At that intersection they made the one house with the huge brick fence, they made them take it down because you can't see around it. 

Ok I think I am done I won't add any others I think everyone knows too much about me now.. well actually there is still a lot more to know... but somethings in life need to remain a secret!
