It's not as easy at it looks.

I know its been a good while since I've posted something but why don't you try working, cooking, cleaning and looking after dogs all while someone is draining the life out of you! Needless, to say I've been a tad bit busy. On Monday I'll be four months and things are feeling a lot better in the second trimester. Yes, I still gag at weird scents, spit all the time, fall asleep at any given moment, and will cry at the drop of a dime...but besides that life's great. Everyone's been asking for pictures of how I look now so I decided to post some that I took today. I'm still not really showing and to the untrained eye, I still may look like the same old unfertilized girl...but my abs say different! And yes, I do still have my belly ring in...you should've expected that I would try to preserve my sexy for as long as I can. I'm still trying to get use to this whole baby thing but luckily I have someone who's supportive and a lot more optimistic about our situation than I am. We've also been looking around different stores to price certain items that we need for the baby and that stuff is EXPENSIVE! So I take this time to tell you guys that we are now accepting: cash, credit, and money orders...but no checks please...I know you guys. So leave some comments and let me know what you think of the new pics and as they say in those weight lost infomercials...Results are not typical and vary from person to person (*smile*). P.S. I forgot to tell you girls that there is a major upside to the whole pregnancy thing...BOOBIES!!! I love them! Later...

First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes...well who said it had to be in order anyway?!?

So after a crazy week of arguing with the person I've been in love with for the past 3 yrs (also known as my baby's daddy when I'm mad) & as soon as things start to settle down, he does the unimaginable, the unpredictable, the most erratic thing ever...He...PROPOSED...well sort of. So after a long day of work & running errands, we (well he did...I hadn't taken a nap...I was exhausted!) came home to cook. So it's around 11:00 p.m. before we started eating & as I'm really starting to enjoy it, he says "Can you get me something to drink" so as usual I say no. So he simply says "o.k. I'll remember that" now taking into account my current situation & the state I'll be in, in a few months I decided it would be my best bet to get it. Now you have to realize that he's not a traditional guy & still lives by the caveman creed, so taking all of this into account I brought him the entire container of juice. Now don't be appalled or shocked the guy doesn't use cups, he will drink straight from the container so this wasn't a weird move on my part. But then all of a sudden he says "I want a cup" & I'm thinking o.k. now he just wants to be difficult. So I tell him he NEVER drinks out of cups (oh yeah if you come to visit you may want to bring your own beverages of your choice...just a thought) & he simply says "I want one today". So to avoid an argument I open the cabinet & get a cup, and right there before my very eyes, sitting next to our cheap plastic cups is a RING (the most beautiful ring & I couldn't have done better myself...well that may be taking it too far but you get the point). So I can't speak for about 5 seconds (that's a long time for me) & then I say "is this for real, am I being punk'd"? And as I'm freaking out & wondering what sick twisted joke he's pulling now, he just sits there watching t.v. & fixing a frame. You would've thought this was something he did everyday for 3 yrs!! At this point I'm just confused & asking a million questions a minute. But of course, he's still just hammering away at his frame & looking as if he was wondering what was on Sports Center. He said he wanted to get married & we were having a child so there's not time like the present, go figure! So it wasn't a traditional proposal, but it was definitely unique & caught me off guard & that's all he wanted (clearly). So not only am I recently engaged, I'm also living proof that birth control is only 99% effective...Life is crazy!
