Emotional.....

I know most people tend to have an "after Christmas Crash" of some sort. You know, the holidays are over, and life just seems too blah again! Or maybe it's all the ridiculously unhealthy food you stuffed your face with the last couple of months dragging you down. Whatever the case may be, at some point the after Holidays low hits us all. Mine ran me over full force this week.

I'm usually a little down after Christmas, but it lasts no more than a day or so. This year, however, my entire week has been a roller coaster of crazy emotions. I swear the other day I could have just sat in a corner and cried the entire time. I am attributing most of my hormonal breakdowns to that of my pregnancy, but will also take notice that we had a crazy whirlwind of a Holiday, and going from seeing family and friends all day everyday to nada, can be tough!!

Poor Josh has dealt with most of this emotion. The other night we got into a small rift, causing me to hyperventilate in tears. I grabbed my coat and keys and drove to McDonalds parking lot! Here I cried to my mother on the phone for about 30 minutes, before decided an apple pie and coke were a good idea!! My logic is undeniable, I know!

The tiniest little things seem to be sending me hurling over the edge lately. If you know me at all, then you know I am not some huge crying emotional person. Normally if someone upsets me I can either argue right back and let them know how I feel, or just get over it, but crying is saved for the "big" things in life.

So today I am going to try to take it easy and sort through some of these emotions. I know I've kept a lot of anguish about my pregnancy in. You know, will I be a good mother...etc etc!! So maybe I just need a day to cry, and rant!! Wonder if it would make me feel better!!??

HELP!!

Okie dokie!! So Joshua and I are going to try and get our Baby Registry done this weekend! I was hoping that some of you mommies out there can help me out by giving me tips on what to register for. It's all a bit overwhelming, and I'd rather get what I need, as opposed to registering for a bunch of stuff I think is cute, and will inevitably NEVER use!!!

Out With the Old... In with 10!!

In the hussle and bussle of my everyday life I realized that I did not make a new years resolution this year. I know many see it as a starting over point, you know that chance to redeem yourself and be the person you really want to be. I guess this year I came to the conclusion that I am who I am, bad decisions and all. Although starting over fresh sounds nice, I am hoping that I can learn from the mistakes made in 2009, and cherish the accomplishments.

The older I become, the more rewarding every new year gets. So, my hope for 2010 is that I can continue down this path of happiness and contentment with this Amazing Thing Called Life!!!

Making Progress

So, after living in our house for about 4 months now we are finally starting to get our "decorating" on! In the last week we have bought oil paintings, prints, area rugs, new bed spreads, paint, and the list goes on and on. I don't know why I waited so long to get with the program, but after living in the house for a bit I have more a feel for what I want the space to look like. So now when I am out shopping there is hardly any debate. I see something and I know exactly where it's going to look good!! Hopefully by the end of this week we will have our master suite, and bathroom painted, along with Little Lena's nursery!!

P.S I think my nexting is really starting to take over...I have vacuumed the downstairs four times since getting home Saturday night!!!!

Week 28

•How far along?: 28 weeks
•Total weight gain: About 20 lbs!!! AHHHH
•How big is baby?: Not too sure!!
•Maternity clothes?: Oh yes!! Mom actually took me shopping while we were in for Christmas and stocked me up with a new maternity warddrobe. Hopefully they will last with this crazy growing belly!!
•Stretch marks?: None you will ever seee!!

•Best moment this week?: Too many to pick just one!
•Movement?: Constantly
•Food cravings?: I don't sit around and just suddenly crave something. However, if someone mentions a certain food or a commercial pops on...it's hard to get it out of my head. I am also still having a tough time with the caffeine....although I am waaay better off with it then before pregnancy!!
•Labor signs?: Nopers!!
•Belly button in or out?: half in half out.
•What I miss: Being able to sit up, or get up, like a normal person!
•Milestone: I got Lena's closet organized by size and season finally!! Hopefully she will still have a place to put stuff after the shower in Feb!!!

Back to Reality!!

Hello Blogging world!! Sorry it's been so long since my last post. Joshua and I packed up the Wednesday before Christmas Eve and took off for Bowling Green. We only just returned Saturday night. I only checked my internet connections to the rest of the world one time the entire vacation......so it's taking some time to get back into the swing of it all.

We had an amazing time at home, and as soon as I can find my USB cord I will upload some pictures and videos to share with all of you!! To say the least we were very blessed this year, and received more than either of us could ever need. Joshua got a big tool drawer...ummm thingy...for the garage, giftcards to harbor freight, lowes, some tools, socks, underwear....etc etc. AKA, things that I know nothing about!!! haha I got the usual....new boots, tennis shoes, some beautiful jewelry, a cute Vera Bradley that will substitute as a diaper bag when the time presents itself, picture frames, bowls for my kitchen, a new maternity warddrobe, hardback of Breaking Dawn, giftcards for Sams and Hobby Lobby....our list goes on and on!! My favorite gift this year was from my mommy and daddy...they got us a digital video camera. I had mentioned wanting one so we can capture all of Lena Belle's moments. Luckily with it being digital we don't hav ethe fuss of a tape, we just plus in the USB to my laptop, upload the videos, and create the DVD.

Of course, we can not forget the life growing daily inside of me. She is most certaintly the best gift of all and we can't wait to meet her this year!! 2010 is sure to be just as amazing as 2009!!!
