Phew!

whoa, that was a close one...I was really in the mood to blog which I haven't been in the last little while so when the urge comes I have to pounce on it.  But anywho, the website was down and I was really frustrated cause writing it in word is just not the same, but luckily I checked back and it was fixed!  They knew better than to mess with my hormones :)

 

So...what's new what's new...

well I have a little bump and today it seems to be more prominant though it may just be what I happen to be wearing:

It's kind of weird having curves....I've never really had curves before-always had the basic stick/boyish figure before now.  While there may be aspects of the boyish figure that I miss a little, I'm enjoying feeling like a woman *cue the Shania Twain hit* I mean...moms are supposed to have some curves to them right?

I can't remember if I've posted about this before but our front room has never been a cohesive room-just everything we didn't have a place for went in there, especially in the closet all our storage etc.  Sadly I don't think I ever took a pic of the closet in all it's glory so the finished product wont' be as dramatic when I show it, but we are waging war on that front room to get it ready for our little one. 

It has involved decluttering, purging, organizing, and rearranging but now that we are well into the process it def seems doable.  This past weekend Code went through all of his boxes and kept the essentials, decluttered, we put those in a new container under our bed which really freed up space in that closet.  Code also took a car-load full of trash/goodwill donations etc so we feel like we can breathe in that room now.  I'm seriously so grateful for all of Code's willingness to help-especially now that I can't really move any heavy stuff. 

Some of my goals for the second trimester (I'm 17 weeks) are:

-pick up the basics of the guitar (we own 3 guitars between the two of us and I still can't play anything really.)  It's hard to learn without regular lessons that force accountability/practicing/etc but I'm determined to pick it up and have a list of songs I want to learn.

-start walking regularly-every day whether it's in the morning on a treadmill or after code gets home from work in a nearby neighborhood.

-Finish the front room

-Finish figuring out the accompaniment for a song I've written (ahem a while back and the accompaniment has been intimidating me to where I haven't really sat down to do it yet)

I'm feeling great and am amazed at how much I'm learning about myself already in coping with the ups and downs of pregnancy and am surprisingly grateful for all of it-I know...weird...

Stay tuned cause the next few months will be full of updates: (March- we're seeing the band perry at the houston rodeo!, going to another symphony concert, traveling to KS for our nephew's birthday and other nephew's baby blessing, finding out the gender of little no-name (23rd) and April- we're going for a random weekend trip to San Antonio, Code's birthday, super-duper trip to upperstate new york with the engstroms!!!! and much much more so stay tuned sports fans!

btw, shameless plug for a blog that my husband and some friends have started: notintosports.com for all your random sports needs when you don't REALLY care about sports but still need to know some facts to throw around the office, significant other, etc.
