cravings & being ahead of the game...

8/22/11

cravings. i never thought i'd have that for some odd reason. but even at 6 weeks, i do!

-banana peppers : so random, i've never really been a fan but love them on pizza & sandwiches now!

- fruit : i've been craving watermelon & peaches specifically (hey its healthy!) today after work i went and got watermelon, peaches, plums, and pears!

- sweets: bad news, i know. luckily i havent indulged in these. but its usually after i eat or late at night i'm craving something sweet. not like a big piece of cake or something (but i have been craving my SIL beccas yellow cake with chocolate icing-SO GOOD!) but just like a little piece of chocolate.

crazy! last night joey asked me what i wanted for dinner, and i thought for a minute and said " beef flavored ramen noodles, and a PBJ"..he looked at me with the most confused/disgusted face and then just kinda laughed lol. he made it for me- and it was DELICIOUS!

Saturday morning i woke up craving my mom's cinnamon toast..which i havent had since i was little!

and being ahead of the game...yeah. I've already started a registry...or two. i'm a big time planner- always have been! just been adding the basic necessities- none of the fun stuff yet since i wont know what i'm having till November (that seems SO far away!!). ive been chatting with claire & becca on what they recommend and what we really need & what we dont.

AND we already have names picked out haha, bedding for girl/boy, we've already gotten one piece of furniture:

my MIL found it on craigslist and it was exactly what i wanted! it is in AMAZING condition, originally bought from Georgia Baby. LOVE IT! we went and picked it up this past weekend and my brother and hubs got it put together pretty quickly! i can't say enough how much i love it!

and my mom is buying us our crib! I CANT WAIT!

we decided to do white furniture regardless of gender, that way its stuff we can hold on to for a while and can use for future kids girl or boy.

now all I need is a glider (all the ones i like are stupid pricey, of course) and i want to find a bedside table to put next to it for late night feedings so i have somewhere to set stuff on.

*i can't remember (little foggy these days) if i already mentioned the old furniture..that was the french provincial from my aunt ruth? joey really wasnt a fan so we decided to give it back to my dad to sell and get something we both like. i was kinda bummed at first but im actually really excited at all the new stuff we're looking at :)

SO MUCH FUN!!! i can't wait to know what we're having so i can go nuts decorating! My FIL is coming over soon to install a white fan in there (it gets hot in that room for some reason) and take off the closet door (I HATE that door, going to do a curtain instead- totally copying young house love!).

we gotta move the guest bed too...joey wont give up his mancave so im losing my guest room :(

a few more people know now, not surprised! -- we're excited and feeling less paranoid with every day that passes and i cant wait to go public with it!

i'm still feeling good, no more morning sickness so far! just serious fatigue & still with the bloating just in my tummy- so the belly band is still a god send for my work pants! this past weekend i finally gave in to my fatigue and just let myself nap and be lazy. yesterday i swear i barely got out of the bed. joey was in heaven playing video games- i just laid in bed with the dogs and watched movies & all my DVRed shows he hates watching-dozing in and out. it was SO NICE! the fatigue is the hardest at work, cause all i want to do is nap and be lazy and i obviously cant do that at work. ive heard it goes away in the 2nd trimester (and comes back in the 3rd lol) so i'm looking forward to having some more energy back.

thats all for now! :)
