So far

I haven't been very good at blogging- with either blog lately. I am not really that busy of a person. Just don't really feel like I have anything to say or show anymore! People that hear about my everyday activities just laugh because they wished they didn't work or whatever it is. I do wish I had something to do, so I try to stay busy, whether it's cleaning a certain part of my house, or all of my house, or knitting (new hobby and I'm lovin it!), YW stuff (I'm secretary), taking Lady for 3 hour walks so she comes home and sleeps for 3 days straight (the best!) or surfing. Or hanging on the sand with friends. Let's just face it. If you know me, you know I can't really work for anyone. That's why I have my own photography business!

So far my pregnancy has been a healthy one- but I have had my ups & downs with morning sickness. I  was telling a friend today how I couldn't really remember what it was like not being pregnant. And here I was 5 months ago wishing so badly I would be pregnant, and I would do anything for morning sickness. I still would, if that meant a healthy baby, but my views have changed and I totally get why people would limit their family size because of how productive they are while pregnant. I used to have this view that pregnancy was such bliss (just because the end result is such bliss in my mind) that I just thought your belly gets big, and a baby comes out 10 months later. For some people, it is and I envy them while I'm looking over my "bowl". Yesterday was a monumental day though where I only felt nauseated right before I closed my eyes (rather than alllll day long) and I think it was just because my body was so tired. But not once during the day was I dry heaving or anything. I loved it! I'm starting to feel the baby move more & more everyday. They're really light kicks- like as if your eye twitches and I only feel them when I'm laying down or digesting. He likes to stay on the right side of my belly and in the morning is when I really see it. The ultrasound tech lady said that a lot of times they find a good spot in the uterus and hang out there most of the time! Kinda fun.The baby is all we talk about and it's crazy how just in 6 months our lives are going to change FOREVER. We are ready for it, just wishing sometimes we could slow down time and really sink it in. We have named baby -Finn. Still thinkin on a middle name. I've had this name picked out (since before I even saw Glee, ok!) and love the fact I get to finally use it! Get it out of my system! I don't know if Drew would have let me do it for a girl. I just can't see myself naming him anything different, and I love that Drew calls him that too- like "What does Finn want for dinner?" or "It's a good thing Finn's making you sick" or "How's baby Finn?" Then I get really (not so) funny words from Drew like "Wow, you look fat! Whoops (as he covers his mouth!)" or this was yesterday "You look like humpty-dumpty! I'll show you a picture online so you can see!" Hm. These are really fun to hear. Ha! It is mind boggling to see a body change and getting ready to house a human body for months. I'm ready to get out of the chubby/bloated stage and onto the uncomfortable fun stage of actually looking pregnant. That will be a relief!

Pregnancy IS so tough..and LONNNG. It feels like forever. It took us a while to get pregnant too, and I was also really sick, so I can relate. As I'm sure you know, it's NOT total bliss AFTER bay is born! Don't get me wrong, I love my baby girl to death. My goodness I love that baby! But it's rough too. A lot of sleepless nights, a LOT of crying (in our case), and a lot of MESS. But the good news is, it gets better and better every day and I love her more and more every day. Just keep that in mind when it's not perfect right away. Good luck! It's such an adventure.
