Bread and Mayo....yeah, I could eat them alone but I would take the full sandwich if available.
It also happens to be national grilled cheese day. I don't think i'll be able to have one today, but since we are going out for mexican tonight, I think i'll have a quesadilla - like a mexian grilled cheese?!

Week 15
Yikes, April is an extremely busy month. I was very stressed out about it even starting b/c of the anticipation of all the things I had to (however, most of it is fun stuff). We are 11 days in and it's not so bad.
This weekend
This weekend we have a friend flying in from Alabama (as in, he's a pilot and is flying in) and then we are all going up to Duluth for the day to have dinner with Dave's parents. I'm a little nervous for the flight since it's such a small plane. It should be ok but.......
Cute text
Last night I got the cutest/gibberish text from my grandma last night. It was mostly incoherent, but it was a lot of cute stuff about how she loves us and that we will be great parents and she can't believe her first grandchild is also having her first great grandchild. It really caught me off guard b/c the English was pretty hard to read and it came from an unknown number (I didn't have her cell number in my phone). I sent it to mom and she said it reminded her of this sweet she wrote for dad. I couldn't really read it from the photo but it was some sweat letter to "her first born". I never have really seen grandma as much of a sentimental - so it was cute.
Essential Oils
I just came from a meeting at my midwife's house regarding essential oils. A lot of cool stories were shared about how oils have come in handy. I believe in a lot of their uses, but so far i'm not ready to jump in b/c of the cost. However, i think once we actually have a baby/child I think it will become a lot more beneficial to their health.
Next trip
Next weekend we are going to Arizona to see Melissa!!!!!!!!!!!
Hot liquid
Tuesday at lunch I dumped super hot tea onto my hand while at at a work lunch. My hand is ok (minus some general heat sensitivity) but it looked really bad right when it happened and I had to excuse myself to the bathroom so I could go and cry!
Well, today at the oils meeting, some B dumped hot coffee over and got it on my foot. So now I have hot coffee on my foot! Once again, nothing bad..but come on!
Weight
I lost about 4 lbs right away when I got pregnant and have been very consistent with it ever since. Well this week I jumped up 2 lbs. not a big deal, but it's my first weight gain. I don't think i look big but I have a very tiny friend who at 28 weeks only looks at big as I do now..or even did a few weeks ago!
Target
I had some time to kill while waiting to meet a friend for dinner so I decided to walk around the baby section at target and actually learned a few things:

- you can use them to make safe all purpose cleaners for their toys and other things
- kids prefer them over medicine b/c they don't have to taste it and it generally smells nice
- if they still are fussy, you can sneak the oils onto their feet when they are sleeping
- it might even help prevent some of the many illnesses they will acquire in day care
The starter kit I want is $550, so yeah that's pretty pricey - so we'll see.

- they sell A LOT of stuff you don't need, but once you see it you think that you do
- infant mattresses are uncomfortable
- breast pumps look scary
- bobbies are pricier than I had anticipated
- they make mesh baby bumpers to help prevent suffocation
- i'm even more convinced that I can use a puma bag for my diaper bag

13 weeks
I almost didn't post anything this week because I didn't really know what to say...
- I fell for the first time (and hopefully last) at hot water this past wednesday. It actually wasn't that bad. My left knee took most of the hit and then I just fell to my hands. I felt find afterwards and feel fine now - except for my knee. that hurts pretty bad
- We went out for mexican on friday. I overate and came home super stuffed but felt fine. I came home and realized I forgot to take my prenatal and tried right away. I gagged it back up (which isn't anything new) but in addition to the pill came come liquid.....and then the rest of my meal. Ever since, I've been having a hard time keeping some food down. I get stuffed really fast and have little bit of heartburn.
- Dan and I ran to a few maternity consignment shops this weekend. I didn't buy anything but I was able to get an idea of what is out there. The prices seem right - nothing really over $10.

Week 13 reflections
2012 was an awesome year because I:
- Travel to Jamaica
- Learned how to swing dance
- Learned how to salsa
- Placed in the top 3 at my first swing dancing competition
- Got a new job (voluntarily this time) :)
- Sky dived with my mom for her 55th birthday
- Traveled to Germany to attend one of the biggest parties in the world
- Spent Christmas in Disney and drank my way "around the world" at Epcot
It was a pretty fricken awesome year, but in 2013 my list will just have one thing on it
- I had a baby

Week 12
I think I "popped" this week. However, if I wasn't pregnant you might just think that I just had a really big meal. But I think otherwise it's pretty noticeable. One of my bosses said she could already tell before I said something but didn't want to ask me (though I don't know how long ago she was able to tell).
This week we also announced the new to the world (facebook and both of our jobs). Here is the final facebook photo we ended up going with.
It was pretty nerve-racking letting out the news. Never know how people will take it.
Grandma and grandpa are very excited but it seemed to take a little while to sink in. By the end of the night grandma was extremely excited. What was funny was that grandpa actually going to come in that day and tell us "i'm not getting any younger" about giving him a great grandchild :) He turns 75 this year. Grandma said that she will keep the card in her keepsake box (which I didn't even know she had).
Maybe it's just tonight but I'm starting to get a little sad of the idea of getting used to this new life. I'm excited about the future but at the same time it will be a big transition. My priorities will change w/out me even having to try, my friends will go and hopefully i'll make new ones, no more happy hours or late nights out downtown. Many of which are not fulfilling activities but you feel "included". But life is moving on and here we go!

Week 11
Let's start out by saying I'm exhausted, starving, and freezing. I'm sitting in the living room with my winter coat and hood on and a few numb fingers waiting for the house to get warm!
We had my second midwife apt this week and it will probably be the best one as we heard the heartbeat and even a couple kicks! We were able to record it and send it to my parents and dan's parents. They both thought it was so awesome. I had texted it to vicki and was wondering what was taking so long to respond, but it was because she was listening to it so many times :)
We are thinking about redoing our announcement photo. I found something a little cuter on instagram that we are going to try....we'll see how it turns out!
We told the horseshoe group last night. we were both pretty nervous on who would even show up and what they would say. But, the news was received very well by everyone. A lot more excitement than I had thought. Mom told Carol too that night (with her mug) but Carol didn't get the hint right away so it seemed a little uneventful. Tomorrow we are telling my grandparents with the card I made them. so, with that i'm going to segway into i gotta run b/c i have a lot of cleaning to do before tomorrow afternoon!
Pizza and Wings, bye!

Week 10
Was extremely busy! It's actually day one of week 11.
The most notable thing last week was that I did my first (and hopefully not my last) swing dance weekend and competition. It went pretty well, but overall not that great. To be honest I missed my liquid courage a little - need it for asking people to dance. However, not dancing too much probably wasn't a bad thing. I wasted to take it easy for the first time since, even when i'm healthy and non pregnant those weekends are extremely exhausting. I really want to place in a competition (again) before I can't dance anymore!!
