It really hurts to be betrayed by someone you trust with your entire being. For those of you concerned, I am not talking about my husband. There is just someone who played a huge role in my life, and I mean huge, and they have totally betrayed me. I don't want to go into too much depth about it, in case the wrong person stumbles across my blog. It just sucks, though. You know? To have someone you have placed so much trust in seem to have no disregard for you. It sucks. It hurts.

I went back to work today. It was okay, I guess. I wish I didn't have to be back. Only 5 more months, and then my little peanut will be born.

Sorry no bloggy.

I am sorry I have not been blogging lately. Things are crazy.

My brother and his girlfriend just had a baby boy. So I am an aunty again! This is my 7th niece/nephew. You know what I mean.

My brother-in-law and his fiance have asked me to be the M.C. for their wedding. I am excited, but super nervous. If anyone has any advice/tips/ideas/etc. please let me know! The wedding is September 30.

We start our prenatal classes this weekend, and then I head back to work on Monday. Yuck.

We are headed to go visit my little brother tonight. I need to go get some maternity clothes. Here's hoping I find some awesome deals.

My Anniversary!

Today is mine and my wonderful husband's 3rd anniversary. I can't believe it has already been 3 years. 3 wonderful years.



I have to put a list in here.

10 Reasons Why I Love My Husband

1. The deep love that he has for me.
2. The way he is able to make me feel as if I am the only person in the world. He makes me feel more special that anyone else in my life has ever.
3. His sense of humor. He can make me laugh at any time, even when I am angry.
4. Hoe excited he is to meet our new baby. His eyes sparkle whenever I read how our baby is developing week by week.
5. His wonderful kind heart. When I first got to know Gabe, I thought he was faking how nice he was. But he wasn't. He really is that nice!
6. How good looking he is. Hey, this may sound shallow, but I didn't want to be waking up every morning next to someone ugly. I am sure you all can agree with that.
7. His compassion and sensitivity.
8. He is a big kid at heart.
9. How genuine and honest he is. He had to learn a little honesty with tact when we were first dating. "Yes, sweety, that skirt does make you look fat. Put on the jeans you had on. You didn't look fat in those" That story still makes us laugh.
10. The way we are still in love with eachother with the same passion and even more depth then we were on this day 3 years ago.

It's actually past one in the morning and I can't sleep, I seem to be suffering from some sort of pregnancy insomnia. Gabe is on night shift right now, but he finishes at 6:00 am, and he will sleep for part of the day, and then we will celebrate our anniversary. We decided this year to just go out to the lake, have a nice supper, maybe go swimming, and sit around the campfire. We both just love nights like that.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY GABE! I LOVE YOU!

The wedding meal...

The catering job went well. I guess I should say it ended well. It was so much work! I cooked and served food for almost 14 hours without ever taking a break. I am so used to doing it with a group of people, and the majority of this I did by myself. My mom and dad helped me haul the food over to the wedding, and my brother and his wife helped me cut all the desserts. By the end of the night, my hips were hurting so badly I could barely walk. (The hurting hips is an entirely new thing..a pregnancy thing, I am told)

My stomach is growing. Last night I wore my loosest fitting dress pants and they were skin tight and hurting my belly. I also had to pull them over the little bulge that is the baby! Time to by maternity clothes.

One thing that is super awesome, is that my sister is working part time at the Gap, and she gets 50% off at the Gap, Old Navy, and a few other places. I am just so pumped because I can buy maternity clothes at both Old Navy and the Gap, and at 50% off. Gabe and I are headed down there at the end of the month.

NOTE TO SELF!

When catering a wedding, don't let the bride decide how much she may need of something because you will end up with not enough food! *gulp*

Our little peanut.

Yesterday, Gabe and I had the most amazing experience ever. We went for my 12 week check up (even though I am over 13 weeks) and we got to hear the heart beating. It was so amazing! Part of me was expecting that they would put the Doppler against my stomach and not hear anything. It's weird. I did that when I had to go for an ultrasound, too. I was just expecting that they would see nothing in my uterus and that I was imagining that I was pregnant. I did that yesterday, too. When the doctor left the room, Gabe said "You really are pregnant!" So he is obviously feeling the same way. We were talking to my brother about it, and he said he felt that way even up the point when they were in the hospital and his wife was in labor. He said when the baby came out, he thought "Oh man, this is really happening. There really was a baby inside there." Our doctor said that the heartbeat was very strong and very healthy. It was beating at about 160 beats per minute.

I am wondering how long it will be until I really feel pregnant. I have a little belly now, and even though it hard, it is just little and it looks like the remains of a large lunch instead of an actual life growing inside of me. I am really looking forward to having a large pregnant belly. I can't wait to have everyone look at me the way I have always looked a pregnant women. I honestly think there is nothing more beautiful that the silhouette of a pregnant women. I guess I should wait until I am big and I feel like I resemble more of a house then anything beautiful.

Gabe and I are already staring to stock up on baby things. We just started yesterday. We bought some diapers, some baby soaps, and some baby wipes. It looks unbelievable to see all of that stuff sitting on my table. I am not sure where I should put it away, and I am actually enjoying looking at it when I walk past the table. Gabe and I were in the kitchen this morning when he mentioned, "I can't believe that stuff is ours." All of this stuff is so much to take in!

We are back from Gabe's parents. The trip went well, except a we got a flat tire. We ended up needing two new tires, which cost us just over $300. $300 that we were not expecting. That hurt when we are still trying to save up money for a down payment.

Our meeting at the bank went awesome. It could not have gone better. We were preapproved for a much larger mortgage then we thought we would be (a extra 100,000 more than we thought we would be) Of course we are not going to go for a huge mortgage. Our credit is also perfect, which is awesome.

My belly is really starting to grow and my morning sickness is all gone. Yeah! I am now getting headaches quite frequently, heartburn, and light headedness. It feels weird to feel this bulge in my stomach, when you aren't used to it.

I cater my first wedding completely on my own next weekend. I am pretty excited. I am hoping everything goes smoothly.
