Food is my Best Friend.

I swear my head is going to turn into a cup of chili one of these days. All I think about eating and do eat is Wendy's Chili.
Breakfast, lunch, dinner = Chili.
At the very beginning of my pregnancy I was super addicted to Zesty Nachos from Denny's. You couldn't even mention food without me talking a million miles an hour about how delicious and perfect their Nachos were. Somewhere between 6-8 weeks I found this deep disgust and hate for Denny's which in return led to my love of all things Chili. I feel like a nutcase when I wake up in the middle of the night after having a dream of swimming in Chili. Pregnancy makes some of us so wacky! 
Another craving I've been having is Brazilian food but not just any Brazilian food. I want restaurant Brazilian food. Sure my mom can probably cook me up some but it just wouldn't be the same in my mind. With that being said, I'm making my husband drive down to Miami on Saturday in honor of my preggy cravings. Well it's not all for me, he's never really been to the good parts of Miami so him and I are going to spend the day at Bayside, and then make our way to what I hear is a fabulous Brazilian Restaurant called Camilas.
 When I first mentioned driving down to Miami he basically flat out said no. I just wanted to make a trip, eat and drive back home. Which is quite a drive mind you. He still stood his ground so I mentioned Bayside and alas the bargaining began. We could go to Miami if I agreed to spend the day at Bayside so he could get to know everything. Well considering I love Bayside it wasn't a hard bargain. And that girls, is how you compromise ;)
So until Saturday I will be sitting here anxiously and hungry for some Brazilian food.

-Ciao!

Friends.

A night or two ago I realized just how different my life is, and will be.
I went out with friends and just being out made me realize so many different things. I don't think I fit with the group of people I used to hang out with anymore. I'm not sure if it's because I lead such a different life or just because I've changed and grew up, just a tiny bit. It was so odd sitting there listening to conversations about the most recent party or who is dating who all while sipping Sprite while Margaritas and Beers were passed around. It was a bitter-sweet realization to know that my life will always be so different from those around me especially after this baby is born. I don't party or hang out until 3 am anymore, but that's my choice and it's something I've learned to embrace. I don't really care if Jill is cheating on Jack or if she slept with Will and Bill. I much rather stay at home and cook dinner for my husband who works his ass off everyday to support this growing family, because family is what it's about to me. It's the foundation of what my Husband and I are trying to build so that when this baby comes into this world it will have all the love and care that it needs and I will sacrifice anything for that.

-The past couple of days, pregnancy has also been a total pain. I'm not sure if it's because my immune system is so weak but I've felt like a train wreck. Crossing my fingers it doesn't last long.

Pregnancy Perks.

Today I finally received my order of clothes from Destination Maternity. For those of you who have never heard of it and are pregnant, it's definitely worth checking out.
Anyway, with the clothes I was surprised to find a little gift bag that contained a ton of coupons and best of all a $20 Shutterfly gift card for new moms. Super excited over here!
Now I've never used Shutterfly but I hear from family that it's really cool. You can upload pictures and create organized albums (which I'm excited about because I loooove chronologically organizing pictures) and you can create birth announcements, photo books, mugs and all that jazz. So I know this gift card will come in handy.
Now I'm not one to do this but I fell in love with this top from Destination Maternity so I just have to share it with all of you because it's beyond adorable and very comfy. I'll include the link to it at the end of this post.
Also in my little gift bag there was a really neat John Frieda sampler. I've always been one to get way too overexcited about beauty samplers so this was a real treat and it smells like heaven.

-I just wanted to share my little bit of good news for the day :) I guess pregnancy does have its perks!

Random Ranting.

I find myself to be a very boring person. I'd much rather hang out on the couch all day munching on snacks and watching movies then getting all pretty to go somewhere. Maybe it's just due to the million pounds I've put on since I've been pregnant. I know how important exercise is when you're pregnant but it's been the last thing on my list. I can't find ANY motivation whatsoever. Has anyone ever been like that?
My other little problem seems to be that my belly seems to be way too big to be 16 weeks. Everyone tells me. Have you any idea how annoying it is to hear people say, "Wow, you must be carrying twins in there!". It makes me want to tear all my hair out. But those are still yet miniscule problems.
The most ridiculously frustrating problem I'm currently having is that I can't see anything 'down there'. I know TMI, but what do I do!? It's a nightmare enough on it's own when I have a hard time shaving my legs and seem to miss a bunch of those little spots and now I have no idea what's going on in the jungle.
I'm going to be blunt here and just say, fuck my life.

-My apologies for the crazy pregnant woman rant. It's just been a very frustrating day in regards to feeling beautiful. Thank you pregnancy!

Hibernation.

Not that I was ever a morning person but 2pm? That's a little ridiculous.
Maybe it has to do with the fact that I get up to pee about 20 times per night. Or maybe it's because I can only come close to sleeping when the sun is about to rise. Oh the joys of pregnancy, but that's not even the best part. Even after waking up at 2pm I can STILL manage to squeeze in a nap by 5. 
My body has baffled me.
I'm usually one of those ants in the pants type of people. Napping was long forgotten by Kindergarden. This probably sounds silly, me going on and on about how much I'm sleeping but it's truly amazed me.

-No worries, I get up long enough to munch on something and take my vitamins like a good girl :)

A baby?

Well. Hmm. Babies.
Cute little chubby cheeked pooping machines and there lies the irony.
I love kids, always have. I just never thought I would be a mother so soon!
Well, soon to be anyway, little bun is still baking. Cheesy, I know but isn't everything that has to do with a baby? I sound like a baby Nazi. Reminding myself, I love kids!
Here's the low down; I'm nineteen years old, happily married to a hard working and loving husband whom I've been with since I was the ripe age of fifteen. This summer after swearing off kids for the next two decades in order to take control of my vivacious youth (ha-ha) I found myself with a little surprise and mind you, surprises aren't my forte. Now, over 2 months later here I am to include the world wide web in my little journey of self discovery, responsibility and sore boobs.



-I'm really not a baby Nazi, I'm actually pretty excited that God blessed me with a little baby but I'm extremely nervous and since my social life doesn't exceed my husband and family, I figured someone out there wants to know what I'm thinking. Maybe not, but hopefully :)


Now where did I put those Saltines...
