It is way official now!

Well I was doing so good. I had morning sickness...well all day sickness and night sickness, but no throwing up. I was feeling proud. I guess I should have known it would come. Today was my day. So I am officially pregnant now! Not that I was not before but I was missing some symptoms. So now I am on track hahaha! Even though it sucks being sick to my stomach, throwing up, not being able to sleep, boobs hurting like you can not imagine, being so overly tired and with no energy and having my back hurt, It is all worth it if that means our baby is healthy. I am told the worse your symptoms are the healthier the baby is. So it is all worth it, though I wish this first trimester would hurry and be over. Today is the mark of week 8. So about a month or so before it begins to get a little better. I have my first ultrasound on the 11th of February, Shawn's 19th birthday. I am sad that Derrek will not be here, but that is the duty of a Army wife. So I gotta suck it up. hehe

XOXO!

In CO for a while.

Well we made the journey out here to CO early this morning. The last two weeks have been hectic with the move and then having bad morning sickness. I am glad it is all over and I can take this week and relax a little. I am glad not to be in the car anymore, it was killer on my lower back. It is all done and I am home for a while.

There are days when I think my life is so bad, but in reality I am blessed and today I am seeing that. We all have our days. For the most part the past week I have been pretty positive which is good for me. hehe I really miss Derrek already. I think this time away is good for us and will make us stronger. I am sad he will miss some important things in mine and the baby's life over the next four months. But I remember how grateful I should be because he will be here for the birth and that is more for a lot of military wives with husbands overseas. So that is a blessing, even though I know over the next four months I might not remember that everyday, but it is the truth.

I am missing some good friends too. I miss Brit and Kelly lots! That was the hard thing of leaving Fort Irwin...leaving the amazing friends you make. It is military, but that does not mean it will not suck. Great friends are hard to find, but when you do, you hold on to them tight! It is funny how your life progresses and your friends you have as a adult come from so many different times and places throughout your life. Military, elementary school, high school, church and other random things have brought some wonderful friends into my life and I could not be luckier to have that.

Today is a not so good day as far as the pregnancy goes. I am so drained, sick to my stomach and my lower back is killing me. You have your good and your bad days, all of them are worth it in the end. Today is just a rough one, I think because I am making up for the last two weeks of mayhem and stress.

Well that is it for now. Be grateful what life brings you even if it is not always what you planned!

XOXO

moving is stressful!

WOW moving is wearing me down! I am not even doing most of the work. It is just stressful and trying to get everything in order is hard too. On top of being pregnant and tired as can be!
Today the movers are packing all our stuff. It is weird just sitting here while they do it all! Tomorrow they will load it all and take it to storage till we get our house in Fort Bliss this summer. They are 3 young guys who seem to be nice. It is just awkward. It is nice not having to do it all though. I do not think I could with everything going on and how I am feeling.

Who would have ever guessed that something so tiny that is just starting to grow could wear you out so stinking much! I am so tired. Sick to my stomach constantly...knock on wood I have not thrown up. My boobs hurt more than I could ever explain! My clothes are already not fitting right, which is a little depressing. My ache is out of control danget. I am so moody it is not funny. i know I am emotional and all usually, but now it is way more intense!! (Yes, Josh I am more emotional that you know me as, crazy huh?).

Well Derrek leaves to school on Thur morning. When I drop him off at the airport I will be picking my mom up. Then on Friday after my final walk through with housing we will hit the road. we are hoping to stop and stay at my old friend Shanda's who lives in Utah. We plan to be home on Sunday. I will just be glad when it is all over. Wish us luck! hehe

XOXO,
Megs
