14 weeks/ christmas

this christmas has ruled.

we drove down to san diego the night before christmas eve. i have come to really enjoy our car rides to and from san diego. most times we don't even have the radio on while we drive and we just talk. its fun to day dream about what next christmas will be like with our baby in the backseat. crazy!

the whole family is here which is always a good time. the rain has let up and its been so nice. my dad has all the boys working of course. but we're having fun.

christmas eve i woke up around 11pm (my sleeping patterns have been WEIRD) and was told that naz and jamie had left... that naz was getting my last gift. ? um ok. but what store is open this late? on christmas eve? whatever. so went to bed at 12:30... still no naz. woke up around 4:15 and naz was not in bed. got up to look around the house... maybe he fell asleep on the couch? nope. nowhere. when i see jamie walking into the back door. and she says oh its joy! it was so weird. they said they had been home for a while... blah blah.. there was traffic? so go back to bed. and the whole morning i'm wondering what the heck? finally when all the presents were opened i was allowed to go into the garage. my sister jamie has her recording equipment in there.. and so he sat me down in front of the computer.. and hit play. he had written me a song. and he and jamie went down to the studio at the church to record it that night. it was beautiful and so rad to hear him singing to me. i've be

en asking for him to write me a song for as long as we've been together. yeah. 8 years. needless to say i was in tears. and it was the best gift of all.

we leave for home tomorrow. and it will be nice for naz to have a few days of nothing to do before he goes back to work.

baby: the nerd can move its little face. it can grimace, squint and frown. i don't know why it has anything to frown about... but i bet its cute.

mom: hoping my energy comes back up a bit like everyone says it should in the 2nd trimester. and i really hope my appetite comes back too. cuz i'm so hungry but i don't wanna eat anything. it all doesn't sound good.

13 weeks

so i think i need to get a camera. we were going to buy a great one but naz somehow talked me out of it. classic. hahaha. hopefully there will be another company sale so we can get it.

so 13 weeks now. its raining like crazy and it feels nice to know i don't have to leave the house for the rest of the day. i went and did my errands and felt pretty good. i'm looking forward to my 2nd trimester where everyone says that you feel your best. but so far it really hasn't been that bad. i've been so grateful. from what i've heard some woman experiences have been i was so scared i was going to be feeling like death. but as long as a keep some food in my stomach, and rest often... i'm ok.

my parents left this morning but its nice to know that i'll be seeing them in just a few days. it was such a good weekend and so much fun getting to hang out with them. saturday night there was a huge car wreck in front of our building and my dads rental car was in the middle of it, but thank God that it was just a scratch on the bumper. other cars were not so fortunate. so anyways we were up the whole night, so church the next morning was out. so we went to breakfast and then to pasadena for some shopping. came home for football and in.n.out.

baby: it has fingerprints! how cute is that.

adulthood.

well heres our news! i can't believe we finally get to say it out loud. we wanted to tell my parents face to face, so that meant waiting till today. and so now that they know, we can let everyone else know too.

it has been so hard not to blog about our little nerd for 12 whole weeks! blerg. so hopefully it will be satisfying to do so now.

we are 12 weeks along and due june 27th and though i'm definitely feeling pregnant, i think i could be feeling much worse. so no complaints yet. (only the complaints naz has to hear, poor guy) it is still hard to believe that i am even pregnant. but really.. how do you prepare for something like this? maybe next time?

so my parents are in here in LA for today and tomorrow. we went today to ikea and out to lunch and then stopped by the salon so they could see the shop. while at ikea i finally made a decision (that i've been thinking about for over a year and half) and we bought a bed. so naz and dad put it together after dinner and dang it looks so good. it feels great not feeling like a college kid with your bed on the floor. ah. today was great.

todays bonus: showing my parents the bedtime intruder video, them loving it, and now my dad is humming the song to himself.

tomorrow. tomorrow.

tomorrow is going to be a good day. keep posted. cuz i'll be posting.

AH!

intentionally quiet.

ya know when you have so much to talk about that you just don't talk? yep thats me.

i am really excited for this weekend. my parents are coming up here to LA for a quick visit before we go down to san diego for christmas. it's going to be so fun to share with them all thats going on with us. and go eat at some of our favorite places. hopefully we'll make it to the nickel diner.. and get some awesome mac and cheese. nom nom.

on other not fun news: i am so behind on my stitching for christmas gifts. i wanted to make most of my gifts this year and now the pressure is on. i started them back in october... and i guess i just kept thinking i had plenty of time. well i don't. and i need to get crackin'....i mean stitchin'.
