I'm a terrible mother. For breakfast today, I had 4 DoubleStuf Oreos and a glass of milk. It tasted delicious, but I feel pretty guilty about it.

On a separate note, I went to the doctor the other day, and I have gained 4 pounds and they said everything looks perfect so fat... I mean far.. =)

This is so much fun!!!! (DRIP.... DRIP.... DRIP) Now, in addition to the nausea, etc. I have searing pain in both of my legs!! It kind of feels like there is a freight train driving up and down inside of them. (It really is lovely.)

I have been drinking tons of water, so I know it's not dehydration. I have been taking my disgusting prenatal pill pretty much every day (I've missed a few here and there, what'r ya gonna do?) and eating healthy food all the time. I would be eating more banana's, but ripe ones of those don't seem to be readily available here in sunny Tucson, and the ones that are ripe are also usually badly bruised and look as though they have been manhandled by gorillas!

(For those of you who are like Zion and don't read my blog all the time and therefore don't get the "drip, drip, drip" comment, it is the sound of my sarcasm dripping.)

I'm at work again today. TWO DAYS IN A ROW, BABY!! TWO DAYS!!! Course, I called the night auditor when I woke up at 5 and asked if he could stay until 7 instead of 6 so I could get a little bit more rest before coming in, but.... still, I'm here and I think I deserve a cookie or somethin'!!

Yesterday I stayed until almost noon, and only left then because my boss asked me a 2nd time if I needed to go home and said it was fine with him if I wanted to. I think today I'll leave the first time he asks me though, because yesterday after being here for about 6 hours, plus the drive time to and from, I ended up feeling pretty lousy the rest of the afternoon and evening. =/

Well, I'm at work right now. =( I only got a few hours of sleep and I'm miserable. I'm just waiting for my boss to get here (in another 2 hours or so...) then I'm going home and going back to bed. I'm scheduled to work until 2, but that ain't gonna happen. I'll be doing good to make it till 9!

I so wish that this was a bigger hotel with more employees (like my old one) so that I could have just told my boss that I needed the whole month of July off to get over this, and there would have been someone else to work. Unfortunately, there are only 4 front desk clerks (including me) to cover 2 8-hour shifts a day, 7 days a week, plus at least 2 Breakfast shifts.

I have been so tempted just to quit ever since I got sick, the 40 minute drive alone is brutal, not to mention how painful it is to get up at 4:45 in the morning when you feel like this... but then I think how bored I would be once I get feeling better, and how much nicer I'll be able to make the nursery with my income... plus, just up and quitting is not my style. I usually give my employers more than 2 weeks notice, and if I'm gonna do that, I might as well stay because I've been assured that in another week or so I'll be feeling great!


Anyway, someone please say something because I'm really bored and my blog is my only source of entertainment right now. =)

I'm not sure how much more of this I can handle....


Brushing my teeth is one of the most torturous things I have ever had to do. Eating is painful, but then, so is not eating. Everything smells horrible and makes me queasy, and even looking at a Wheat Thins box is making me nauseous. (I'm not even contemplating eating them and I feel ill!!!) Standing makes me sick, laying down makes me sick, sitting up makes me sick, riding in a car, even my hand soap... everything! I can't win!

I'm sorry if you are all getting tired of reading about my stupid "morning" sickness, but that's all that is going on in my life right now. I have barely even been to work in the past month because I can't. It's like I've had a really, really bad flu for a month.

I don't know what to do and I'm running out of things I can eat. Someone, Please, Just Shoot Me!!!

Justin called me last night to remind Zion and I that today was the 2nd annual Ron Ball Memorial Fun Run/Walk at camp. (Zion was humiliated at that last year, and had vowed to beat Justin this year...) Anyway, he called right before I went to bed so last night I dreamed about it, except it was a horseback riding race. Much more comical, and much more dangerous. I don't recommend we ever change the run/walk to a horse race, as much fun as it sounds for me personally. It was practically a bloodbath! Everyone was falling off, getting thrown, and dragged. I seriously do not recommend it. =)


I guess people were right when they said you have weird dreams when you are pregnant.

I WANT MY MOMMY!!!!!!!!

At least so, if for no other reason, I can apologize in person for how ill I must have made her. This "morning" sickness thing is for the birds!! (And who was the genius behind the naming of this malady, anyhow? Moron!)

On a separate note: Thank you Mom and Jess for the beautiful Little Giraffe Blanket and Music CD for the baby. When you told me you sent me something, I was hoping that it was that blanket. =) I love it and I'm sure our baby will, too. (Ben sure seems to like his!)

Happy Independence Day!!!!

I wish you all a very happy day filled with fireworks, family and fun!! (Maybe by next year we'll be home and resume our annual 4th of July Celebration Party that we started in 2005!! One can hope!!!!!!)

The little squirt has not been being very nice to me these past few weeks, but no worries... I shall have my revenge!!! Mwahahaha!!!

UPDATE:
I am due January 19th, 2009. I'll start my second trimester on Monday. I have no plans to find out what I am having, and I'm not tellin' the names either; although some of you should already know what it will be if it's a girl. =p
