Our Trip to OC

Steve and my weekend in Ocean City for my birthday was so much fun. Actually, to be more accuarte it was more relaxing than fun but it was awesome either way. We arrived at about 5:30pm and checked in. Our room was awesome because we had a balcony that overlooked the boadwalk and the beach so we could do lots of people watching.

The first night we decided to walk from our hotel (which is at the end of the boardwalk) to the beginning of the boardwalk and back. We stopped on our way down the boardwalk for pizza and then on the way back for Dippin' Dots (yum!) and by the time we ended up getting back to the hotel we realized that the journey was 4 and a half miles total! I was surprised. I mean, it did seem like we were walking FOREVER but I didn't realize it was THAT far. Good exercise. So, when we got back I think we sat on the balcony for a little bit and then watched some tv and went to sleep.

Saturday, I as usual recently, woke up at 6am and sat on the balcony, ate a Nutri Grain bar and woke Steve up to go to the beach at about 9am. We stopped at a little mom and pop joint for breakfast that was really cute and I wish I had taken a picture. The food was good and it was fast service and inexpensive. From there we headed to the beach and just layed out until about 2pm. Steve listened to his iPod and I read the whole time. We got in the water twice but it was FREEZING! I got used to it after a little bit but never went ALL the way under.

Then, I was hungry so we decided to go down the boardwalk to this place, Hammerheads, for lunch. We ate there, and then went next door to the Dippin' Dodts place AGAIN. Then, we walked back, hung out at the hotel room for a little bit where I found a beautiful display of flowers taht Tiffany had sent there for my birthday and took showers and got ready for dinner. We went to a great all you can eat seafood restaurant where I ate a ton of crab legs. From there we went next door to the almost adjoining miniature golf place. Steve beat me even though he was drunk and I cheated. Then, we went back to the hotel, sat on the balcony for a little and went to bed.

Sunday, we woke up, packed up and headed out. We stopped at Candy Kitchen so I could get salt water taffy and The Fractured Prune for breakfast. It's this unique place where you can get donuts made to order and other stuff. I got my usual sausage, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich but instead of it being on a bagel, it came on a donut! It was interesting...but not bad!

Then, we headed home, and went to Outback Steakhouse for my actual birthday dinner.

It was a great weekend. Steve is pretty good to me.

(Pictures coming soon...I didn't take many but I'll post what I have)

Feeling the same

I'm 5 weeks 3 days and I feel similar to all of my other recent days. I am seriously waking up at 6am like CLOCKWORK every day and cannot go back to sleep. It's so weird.

No morning sickness...yet
Boobs...sore and BIG
Tired by 8 or 9pm

One new symptom I've noticed about myself recently is that I get easily irritated by stupid people. Or really anybody in general. Other drivers on the road that do stupid things. People that come in my office and say stupid things. Etc...

We are going to the lake this weekend for the 4th of July and we'll be telling my family! I'm kind of excited about that.

Can't forget...

When Steve and I were at the beach sitting on the balcony of our hotel room people watching, Steve said that as much as he jokes about having a baby and how our lives are over, he is actually excited and it's the next thing for us. He also said that while we are at it, we might as well have another one two years later about. I definitely agree. Granted, we had this conversation when he was a little drunk but I still want to remember it.

I could continue on this path and be happy...

Steve and I went to the beach this weekend for my...gulp....30th birthday. It was a great time. It was also a rare occasion for me to be at the beach with great weather and not drink. What in the world?? I have been waking up at about 7am EVERY SINGLE day! I don't know what is wrong with my sleep patterns now but I can't sleep continously and not wake up during the night and I always wake up super early and am WIDE AWAKE. But, at night, I am just dead tired by about 8pm. It's so weird.

I wore a skirt to work today.
I'm scared to wear pants cause I'm scared my bloat will make them not button and I'll just be uncomfortable today.

It's been 1 full week of not a single cigarette (or drink but I knew I could do that)! Whoop, whoop! I woke up one morning at the beach and took my vitamins and ate a Nutri-Grain bar and some saltines and then laid back in bed reading and felt a little nauseous but somehow managed to fall asleep while reading and woke up feeling fine.

Nausea is supposed to hit in about a week and I'm hoping I'm one of the lucky ones who skips that part!

YAY for the BEACH!!

The day is HERE! I can't even wait for two more hours when I get to leave work and head out to the BEACH! I think we are even going to get to eat at the seafood buffet tonight. Whoop, whoop! The weather is looking kind of iffy today but tomorrow is supposed to be awesome so I can deal with today being not great as long as tomorrow holds up!

So, switching gears for a second, Michael Jackson died yesterday at the age of 50. There is a lot of controversy surrounding him with child molestation and all that but any way you look at him, his music was legendary and always will be. I am loving the radio stations playing his music non-stop now! Ironically, Farrah Fawcett also died yesterday. I am not apart of her generation to really appreciate her stuff but I know older people did appreciate her a lot more and I find it ironic that they both died on the same day.

We downloaded some MJ music to listen to on the car ride to OC! Let the weekend begin!

Feeling Good

Wow, I can't believe how good I am feeling. Last night and today.
I managed to keep my eyes open until I think 11pm last night which has been SO rare for me recently. I ended up falling asleep reading the chapter of Bell Laughs by Jenny McCarthy about pooping on the delivery table. Yikes!

I woke up at 6am certain that I would not be able to fall asleep again so I cracked open my other new book "Girlfriends Guide to Pregnancy" and started reading that one in the little crack of light that I had through the window so I didn't wake up Hubs.

Only scary thing was yesterday when I got home from work I went to the pee and there was a light shade of pink on the toilet paper. I don't care who you are or how much you read not to freak out about that unless it is bright red, that is not comforting. Apparently, it could be implantation bleeding and a lot of women get it but it kind of freaked me out.

I'm still keeping my fingers crossed and saying my prayers.

Sleep is a precious thing

EVERY single night since we found out about Baby D on Sunday, I have woken up at about 3am and have been wide awake until 5 or 6am. It is pretty frustrating since there is nothing to do but stare at the ceiling and try to find a comfortable position for my boobs. Have I mentioned that they are HUGE?? I'm hoping that I'll be able to sleep through the night on our trip to the beach this weekend.

Other than that, same old stuff. Last night we had our second golf lesson and it was really fun. We learned about chipping, then we went to our photogrpahers house to pick up our proof book and prints and then to PeiWei for dinner. It was the first time I really felt pretty nauseous. I mean, I felt really yucky. But, by the time we got home and ate and I got in bed, I felt great. I think I just needed food and sleep. My only two priorities these days.
