Tuesdays are for Me

Today on my way to class (20 mins late) i realized besides class and a chiropractor appointment i had absolutely nothing else to do, besides homework, but i decided i am not going to do any homework on Tuesdays. Every day of the week is filled with work, class, homework, practicums, and everything else i do. So i decided Tuesdays i am going to do whatever i want to do, i am going to finally clean my kitchen, make dinner, get my pictures hung in the stairway, and maybe even clean out my closet (anyone in need of clothes?). Whatever i decide to do im going to do because i want to.

So... so far today, i have cleaned the kitchen, started dinner, and sat on the computer looking a billion different outfits i want to buy (reason for cleaning out my closet) and searching pinterest. Thank you Jessica for suggesting pinterest i now have a new obsession.

Lived

- This past weekend Kaden and I went to the Rawson's cabin with them, my family, and the bradshaws for my moms birthday. I made Zepa Tuscano (spelling?) soup for dinner and my mom had a nice day of watching movies, and opening gifts. Then on Sunday Kaden and I slept through church so when we finally got out of bed we decided to do a deep clean on the house, probably not the most appropriate day to do that but our home is so lovely now, its amazing.

Learned


- I have learned all kinds of things about our baby. Im reading You Having A Baby and its so interesting. After reading it i'm glad that i have started eating so much better and that i get most of the vitamins i need daily except that i am having a hard time with calcium, any ideas for yummy calcium rich foods? I have such a hard time eating dairy, i have never liked anything dairy much unless its ice cream ha. I also realized this past week that i have to wait 6 more weeks to find out what the baby is because of when my doctors appointments fall. That makes me a little sad. I can't wait to know.

Loved


- I have loved how great i am feeling now that the morning sickness is gone. I can pull myself out of bed in the morning, I can get ready for the day, and i still have energy left over for all of the other things i have to do.

- I also have loved how much time Kaden and i get to spend with just each other. It is so sweet how much he wants to help me lately and how supportive he is in everything i am doing. I just love my husband :)

School Has Started and My Life Has Ended

Lived

School has officially started. The tests and homework are in full swing, as well as my practicums and the two knew jobs i picked up from the school. Today for the first time ever Kaden said and i quote "I don't know how you do it." Refering to my 3 jobs, 14 credits, two teaching practicums, and the time i still manage to make for the gym and dr/chiropractor appointments about everyday. I can not even describe how much it meant to finally hear him say that.  Kaden is working 40 hr weeks and taking 8 credits and it is going to be one heck of a semester for him, but i know he will be able to get through it.

I also had an amazing Disneyland trip but i'm seriously going to have to do an entire post just about it. My mom and sisters and i went to Disneyland for four days and it was probably one of our best vacations ever!

Learned

Well in the past month we have learned that we are expecting baby #1 in March! We are so excited and feel very very blessed for the way every thing has worked out for us. I am now just about 14 weeks and due in March. According to our doctor March 18, according to me probably a week sooner. We will see. Baby is healthy and growing great! I have been able to have 3 ultra sounds already and each time is so amazing, i love hearing the baby's heart beat (which is fast between 155-165 each time) and seeing the baby move. The past two times its been kicking and punching all around. It is so neat to see such a little life inside of me. Especially since the baby looks totally like a 3 inch little child but i barely feel like i am even showing at all. If it weren't for the morning sickness i had for a while i would be questioning this pregnancy all together. So most of what Kaden and I have been learning has been centered around the baby. We have gotten really into what is good for me to eat and not eat and how to stay healthy and in shape and how to keep the baby healthy. I have been able to keep running 3-4  miles a day and we have tried to switch as much as our food to organic and vitamin boosting as possible. I am thinking seriously being pregnant has made me be healthier all around and its been great!

Loved

We have loved having our house to ourselves, for the first time since we bought it a year ago. Penn and Vance moved out to a new home just a street over from us. It is great to have them so close, but especially with all my thoughts on baby its nice to have a quiet home. We have also had a few really nice weekends. Kaden took me to Vegas for my birthday to do a little shopping and go out to dinner with my parents to one of our favorite restaurants at the Plazzo. Then we went to the Beatty family reunion and even got to have Grace stay with us one night. Last weekend we went home for Bronco needs and I got to spend time with my mom and sisters which i always love to do.
