I'm tired of doing laundry. haha
Friday night, me and Caleb got invited to go to dinner with Caleb's work partner and some of their family. We ended up trying out the new Fuji's in Idaho Falls. I'm not really into that type of food, but they cook your food for you in front of you on a grill and do a little show for you. It is a fancy upscale restaurant. Expensive too! ha But it ended up being a lot of fun!
Saturday the day before mothers day, I was able to get off work early so I could attend my sister in laws baby shower. It was at my parents house and it actually ended up being a lot of fun. Simple, but fun. My mom had made french dip sandwiches, had fruits with fruit dip (my favorite part) vegetable tray, chips, lemonade, and a few treats. We ate and had my SIL open her gifts. She got some really cute things that hopefully she can use!
Mother's day was a busy day. We started by going to my brothers house and they did their daughter's baby blessing there at their house since she is only a week and a few days old. They did it then because my SIL parents were up from Kentucky. We had a brunch afterwards and just hung out at the house. I actually liked that they did it there. It was nice.
After the blessing we had to rush out because it was one of Caleb's best friends mission farewells. He went with my brother and then ended up at the, what I heard, delicious luncheon. After that, that evening me and Caleb had a party to go to. Our friends, Caleb's business partner if you will, were having a gender reveal party. So we went to Big Juds, met up with my brother and sister and all the employees at Juds, and all of our friends' family. We ate pizza, chatted with our friends, and had them bite into their cupcakes to find that they are having a boy! So happy for them :) That means everyone at both my work and Caleb's work are having boys. haha no pressure for us!
Mother's day was simple this year. It went a lot better than last year too. I remember last year how I was just an emotional wreck. I was in my selfish pitty party mood and didn't want to celebrate or do anything. It's weird how this year I felt peace and very grateful to be where I am today. I was able to focus on all women who are mothers and also those who are not. I have friends going through infertility, those who have lost their mother, and those that have lost a child, and I thought of them throughout the whole day. I feel like all women are mothers in some way. Whether that's to their dog, nieces, and nephews, neighbors, spouses even. Women are nurturing people and I wish all of us would open our eyes a little more to those around that aren't mothers to a child and realize this. Happy mother's day to myself, my mom, my sister and SIL's.
Monday was an emotional day for me. I guess you could blame the pregnancy hormones, but let's be real, my husband was leaving out of town and I did not like that idea. Normally, Monday's are both our day's off. I look forward to this day EVERY week. It's the day I get to sleep in with Caleb and then spend the whole day with him whether we go out or simply stay home and relax. I NEVER schedule anything on this day because Monday's are our day to have for each other. This Monday in particular was out of the norm. Caleb had to work after an already super busy weekend. He had to hurry home from work to pack up and leave for a few days. I have mentioned in previous posts that I am fully aware that I am a wimp/baby when Caleb leaves. I hate it. I am not one of those wives that needs my space from my hubby, or am happy to have a girly few days to myself. I hate, hate, hate that. So all day I was just weepy and missed him already and he hadn't even left out of town yet. I told him I was going to stay at my parents while he was gone just for the company. I am fully capable of staying at my house but I like my family, and it's not so lonely. So after he got home, packed, and left, I headed to my parent's house.
(I stuck a little note in his sweats so he would get it that night)
I had to work Tuesday early early so I was up early. It was kind of nice though, my mom had made me breakfast and packed my lunch. :) Thanks mom! haha I told her to not worry about it, but of course she insisted. Another perk of staying with the parents. Tuesday night I found out that Caleb and the guy he went down with were coming back late that night instead of the next day. I was SO happy. He got home and I greeted him with a big hug and kiss. Ah. my life can continue. We got both good news and not the best news from this trip. Bad news: I can't really say. Let's just say a few things changed and our future got twisted a little bit. Good news: Caleb got another raise. Hooray! We stayed up chatting till WAYYY past this girls bedtime, but it was worth it cause I was with my hubby.
Wednesday-today- Caleb and me both had off work. I don't really remember the last time we both had a day off where we had no appointments, meetings, work, nothing to do. We slept in, lounged around, got some lunch. It's been great!
Also, today is the day I am officially 11 weeks! I am JUST about out of the first trimester and that alone makes me feel a lot better. How am I feeling?? I'm ok. ha I still don't feel great. I have a few bad days, then an ok day, then a horrible night, then an ok night. It's super random. I never know what to expect. Foods are starting to taste better!! Sometimes it's awful, but for the most part, I can get food down now. I still cannot eat a lot at once, so I still find myself snacking A LOT. The last few days I have had HORRIBLE hiccup/burp things? I don't really know what they are but they mostly happen after I eat. They are kinda painful. I am still quite sleepy and still get so tuckered out at the smallest task. I take breaks often throughout the day. There were a few days where I felt sharp lightening streaking pain through the sides of my stomach. Kinda felt like a gas pain but stronger. I asked my sister and she said she's certain it's round ligament pain. I just didn't think I could feel it this early. But I'm sure that's what it is. It comes and goes. It's strong when I sneeze or cough and sometimes if I get up from sitting too fast or something. Super weird. Also, this week especially, I am starting to notice a heavy feeling in my stomach and my low stomach is feeling more firm. I can't feel a hard ball where my uterus is at yet, but my stomach is definitely more firm and popping out more. It's weird because sometimes I can totally tell that it's a prego belly, then other times it just looks like pudge. I'm for sure in that awkward pudgy belly stage. I still don't really have any cravings. Nothing more than I had when I wasn't pregnant. haha If anything, sno cones are always on my list of things that sounds good. I go there pretty much every time after I work. All in all, things are going good! Me and Caleb still have no name picked. I know it's way early but he is mighty picky I have found he doesn't like anything. So it may take a while. We are now talking about starting to buy some baby furniture. Maybe one big item a month so that we don't have a HUGE list at the end. I'm a planner/organizer. I hate putting things off last minute. So i'm ready to start buying stuff. :)
Also, BIG NEWS! Me and Caleb are officially HOUSE HUNTING!! What?! I know. But, we are going to HAVE to be out of where we are now when a baby comes and even before we got pregnant, we were planning on buying a house around this time this year. So, it is a huge deal. A huge commitment, but I am BEYOND excited to get out of this basement, have my own space, my own yard for Libbie to play, a garage, a closet, windows to see out, and hopefully a bug free home. It's probably going to be quite a process but I hope and pray we can find something suitable to what we are looking for. We are excited!
