Saying I Do, and the Summer time Blues

ha who am I kidding, summer time is great!...well it has officially been FOREVER, yet again since I have blogged. I promise, now that it is summer the blogging will be much more frequent, since I'll have so much more time on my hands. So what's new?! I am officially married...and I can't stand my husband...I blame this on my 13 week old peach inside of me. I really used to love the guy, until I got pregnant. Now I feel awful because everything about him grosses me out--especially his breathe! BUT because I know that somewhere deep down inside of me, are feelings of love--I went through with the wedding. It was short and sweet, and exactly what I wanted, right on the beach in Jamaica. (Wedding and Jamaica pics to come in a separate blog).






Speaking of Jamaica, it was absolutely gorgeous. The water couldn't have been anymore blue, and the staff at the resort that we stayed at, were the nicest people ever! Even the wild cats that lived there were nice. I missed being able to drink all the yummy looking cocktails, but didn't miss the bloat that drinking alcohol causes...instead I just enjoyed the bloat the baby is making...or my mini bump that appears after I eat. We had a wonderful time, and are planning an anniversary trip back some day...maybe instead of sandals, we'll go to Beaches, with the kid.






Aside from my wedding and Jamaica, I had the panorama blood test done before I left, to test for down syndrome AND the gender. I am absolutely dying for those results to come in. I still feel like it's a girl, along with my family. Seth and his family are team boy all the way. I honestly will be happy either way, I'm just ready to find out so the shopping can begin! I also can't wait for this all day sickness to go away, I am officially in my second trimester, and still sick. I've searched for things to do, along with taking my pill, and think that better nutrition is the key. The thing is, I'm still having a hard time stomaching anything healthy. I've said before I'm going to start implementing herbalife shakes, well now that I'm back from paradise, it's on. I've read so many conflicting views on drinking herbalife while pregnant, I think most people think of it as a weight loss product--which it can be, but I won't be replacing meals with it, instead I'll be using it as a snack/supplement. I need all the added nutrition I can get, as I've basically been living on carbs alone. After a week of pure relaxation, I'm also getting back to working out with my Tracy Anderson pregnancy dvds, walking, and boot camp. Working out always helps my moods, and with how grumpy I am 24/7 I need all the help I can get! Below are my most recent stats...hopefully my next post will be revealing the gender...fingers crossed. <3
