So this is love...

picking the onions out of my Husband's Thai food because I know how much he hates them.

Breakfast with old friends

My pregnancy so far...

...has sucked! But now that I am 12 weeks, I am feeling much better. I feel very lucky that I never actually puked, not even once! Although I came close many times. I felt nauseous most of the time, but feel so fortunate that I was able to continue working in my 1st trimester. I didn't call in sick or go home early, even though I wanted to! So here is a list of dislikes about the 1st trimester so far:

-gagging every time I brush my teeth

-being one degree warmer (I have always been a cold person. This being hot stuff sucks!)

-feeling like crap most of the time

-not having any energy(The #1 reason for my lack of blogging.)

-not being able to keep up with housework (I barely get the laundry done. It then sits in the laundry room for a week before I finally fold it and put it away. And cleaning? Forget about it! My house hasn't ever been this messy. Grrr)

-the enhanced sense of smell(The #1 offender? Those stupid reusable bags that people bring to the grocery store. No one ever washes them, so they smell like dried chicken blood and old milk. So gross!)

-working 8 hours a day on my feet! (I envy women who have desk jobs.)

-having to pee constantly, especially at night (Every 3 hours.)

-none of my clothes fit (My jeans are all uncomfortable to wear, and most of my shirts are very fitted. Since I don't have a baby bump, the shirts just make me look chubby or bloated.)

-not being able to have my favorite foods(blue cheese, starbucks), or having foods prepared how I like (Having to heat deli meats, having my eggs fully cooked, well done red meat, yuck! I won't be having filet mignon any time soon!)

-constantly being hungry

-having to force myself to eat things I don't normally eat (Extra protein and calcium are the hardest things to consume.)

-constantly craving sweets

-the shower has become my enemy! (I have to take cooler showers so I don't feel like I am going to pass out)

-all the doctor appointments

-the ridiculous acne!

I could go on and on. But I am trying to focus on the things I like so far:

-hearing the baby's heartbeat

-being able to fall asleep so easily

-taking naps

-talking with Jeremy about the baby

and the #1 thing I like about being pregnant?

-not having to change the litter box!!!

Celebrate!

Jeremy and I celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary yesterday. We went out to dinner just the two of us.

Today we are celebrating something new!

Baby Johnson is expected January 13th 2011. Lentil as we like to call him/her is seven weeks along and has a strong heartbeat!

My big boy

Shoppertunistic

I love Kohl's! Remember when Jeremy bought our new Stainless Steel Pots & Pans for Valentine's Day? Well we spent enough money to get $30 on Kohl's cash. That combined with another $15 Kohl's cash voucher(thanks Tami) got me one of these, completely free!

That is right, a Panini Grill! Now that is what I call Shoppertunistic.

Nascar!!!

The main reason we went to Vegas was so Jeremy and his Dad could drive a Nascar at the Richard Petty Driving experience. They have driven them once before in celebration of Bart's 50th Birthday. That time they drove 30 laps behind an instructor. This time they drove 80 laps and we able to drive with other students in a formation. Tami, Greg, Tiffany, and I were able to do ride alongs with a Professional Driver. It was awesome!

It was super windy and COLD!

The jumpsuits you had to wear were lovely! As was the helmet that was too large for my head.

Don't we look special

Greg was absolutely thrilled about all the pictures
