18 Weeks pregnancy moment...

Being pregnant I have learned I just need to accept the fact that I am going to gain weight and get a "fat"/"baby" belly.  It has been something I know is going to happen, but I still have a hard time getting used to it and accepting it.  Well, about every other day or so Will gets to put up with me saying "I am gaining so much weight!"  or "I feel really fat"  or something else in relation to me being fat.  (I am a girl, what can I say?) 

Well, yesterday, I got on the scale and it said I had gained 8 lbs! since my Dr. appt 1 1/2 weeks ago!  I was so frustrated that "I can't gait 10 pounds every 2 weeks!  I'll end up with 60lbs of baby fat to loose"  "how can I gain so much?  I have been running and eating a little better cuz I can actually eat some fruits and veggies now", and stuff like that.  I went to complain to Will about how much weight I was gaining when I was trying to be healthy and he starts laughing at me.  (Usually he just rolls eyes and says something like "you are pregnant...(fill in the blank)..." ).  Well, apparently our scale got adjusted on accident some way and was adding an extra 5-8 lbs.  Man, when he fixed that I was much happier to realize I had only gained 1-3 lbs.

Heber

This past weekend we went up to our families cabin in Heber to enjoy the cooler weather and a break from every day life.  It was so nice up there!  We got up there late Fri night. 






Sat. morning Will spent the morning fixing the pump (hopefully it won't break
 any more) so we could have running water.  After multiple trips to the local ACE and True Value we managed to put it all back together with no leaks.  He then built a box to cover the pump, with hinges!  I enjoyed the cooler weather, racked up some pine needles and cleaned up the mess he made.  We enjoyed an afternoon walk, and I even went running.  Since I've been prego, I've only been running 1-2 miles twice a week.  I was able to run about 2 miles and it felt so nice!  I did notice the elevation a bit, which I am hoping it only bothered me cuz I am carrying around extra luggage :)  We went to church on Sun. and then headed home after a nice restful weekend spending time alone.

17 weeks and counting

So here is my first official pregnancy photo... it's when I was 16 weeks and I promise my belly is bigger then it looks in this picture.  

Funny/not so funny memories about pregnancy.

1.  Pregnancy brain-  the number of times I was making dinner and forgot the most important part,  the chicken!  I remember thinking the meal tasted weird, and the next morning realized I forgot to put the chicken it!  My husband even loves me so much, he ate it without even pointing out my mistake.
2.  Craving date night at Red Robin.  Eating a great mean, then puking it ALL up within 2 min of being home.  I still don't know when I''ll be able to go eat there again. 
3. Being so hungry/sick to my stomach and getting so grumpy at dinner time because I don't know what to eat and nothing sounds good but I am STARVING!
4.  Asking my husband to cook extra eggs for dinner so I can have some, and not eating one bite when he was finished because I got so sick to my stomach.
5.  I LOVE sleeping on my stomach now and  will miss it when I get too big. 
6.  My regular jeans are getting snug and really uncomfortable and my maternity jeans are still a little too big... what to wear what to wear.
