*15* weeks down!

15 weeks down....25 more to go!

The past 5 weeks haven't been all that bad...nausea is gone and got to relax in the bahamas w/ the hubby! Maybe this won't be as bad as I thought it was going to be... hopefully it's smooth sailing from here *crosses fingers*! Showin a little more now which is doing nothing for my girlish figure or my woredrobe. But what I can't understand is...WHY AM I LOSING WEIGHT?!? Just curious, but aren't you suppose to gain weight when you are preggo? So definitely have lost 10lbs. since I've been knocked up and not understanding how I can eat 6 small meals a day and still not gain weight... wow this baby is definitely a fat kid! Got to hear the baby's heartbeat at the last appointment which was 160 beats a minute... that thing is getting busy in there! The hubby has preceeded to start calling 'it' a 'he' thinking this will magically make the baby a boy... well I guess it is really his decision right?

*10* weeks down!

10 weeks down...30 more to go!

geez this already looks like a long uphill hike, can I just stop and maybe grab a snack for the long haul? Not too much going on expect I'm losing weight? well this might be from the fact that my stomach has decided to join the olympics cuz food is not my friend right now. My 'inner' fat kid has decided to start making itself visible at only 10 weeks. It could have waited a few more weeks...like after we told the parents maybe? On the bright side, I guess, is this first trimester is almost over; maybe it'll take its nausea with it!

New Addition

Didn't expect this to be so soon but.... looks like there is going to be a new addition to our small Navy family. Well I mean I am bringing my dog, Scooter, up to stay with us in about a week or so but that's not it. oh and we did get a new chocolate lab puppy, Dixie, but that's not it either. Yep, you guessed it I'm all kinds of knocked up! lol Took 5 pregnancy tests (ok so I was alittle in denial..but who wouldn't be right?) and they were all positive! But just considering this is a serious medical issue, I strolled my happy butt down to the doctor's office for an ultrasound and she confirmed it as well.... I'M PREGGO!! Now the funniest part of this whole entry is how I told the hubby. I wanted to think of a clever yet funny way to tell him and since we are impulsive people and when we go places the phrase "Baby, can we get ___?" usually ends in a new truck, a puppy, a motorcycle, a million dollars, etc., I felt this had potential. So as we were riding around and happen to pass a Babys-r-us I proceeded to ask "Baby, can we get a baby?"and of course the answer that followed was "no". Unfortunately for him this wasn't exactly an option...so I responded with, "Too bad" and the facial expression that followed was one of a mentally retarded deer in headlights. Don't worry, he was very excited after his recovery from his brief aneurysm and many panic attacks... especially after he got to see the ultrasound the doctor took at my emergency visit. However, what I didn't know was I was going to be held against my will and demanded that I produce a boy!

Gettin Hitched!

Well it's official.... I'm 'legally' a married woman!! We have set our wedding date for August 22, 2009 for our family and friends, but when you are in love with your best friend and you're just going to get married in 6 months anyway might as well reap the military benefits til then right? So we strolled on down to the Virginia Beach Municpal Center and got hitched! I'm wondering if we are the first couple to make the magistrate crack up laughing during his speech? I mean we couldn't help but giggle through the entire process, I mean come on... we are best friends and the thought of being stuck with each other til our bodies rust and fall apart like a beat up run down pinto... it's amusing! I plan on talking shit to him the entire way but that's the best part about marriage right? ok well maybe not, but at least we 'like' each other... don't we?

The Proposal

So I made the first 'big' step in our relationship and moved up to VA to be closer to Zack. I've been living here since Thanksgiving and can't say I'm a huge fan of the area but I'm def. a fan of getting out of Cheraw...small towns are nice but after a while it tends to make you pull your hair out! We've had our first christmas together which was great and things apparently have turned into a serious consideration of the future. We have been talking about marriage for a little while and we both feel the same way about the idea. We both went out to eat to spend some time together since both of us work all the time. For the past week he has been telling me how scared he was about us and about losing me when he went on deployment and I to basic training and AIT. To my surprise, when we got home we proceded to sit down and talk about everything and he confessed his love for me and pulled out a black box with a gorgeous engagement ring inside and asked me to be his ol' lady! Typical of him but definitely a moment I will never forget for the rest of my life!
