"Baby, baby, baby....oooooh."

One thing that has been made crystal clear is that pregnancy does crazy things not only to ones body but also their mental state. Such as, waking up after a dream that you are dating Justin Bieber....um, slightly illegal, isn't he like 15?! For the record, we only went to a movie...and he tried to hold my hand. I don't even like Justin Bieber, except I may have sang the same two lines of his "Baby" song over and over for at least two months straight. Then usually I would tell my dear husband how I really should have considered a career in singing.....this usually resulted in the rolling of eyes. Oh how he loves me. :) 

And then there was the the other night when I put away the cottage cheese in the pantry and the triscuits in the refrigerator. Lucky for me, I was hungry five minutes later and found the cottage cheese, still cold, while I was looking for something to munch on.....seems I'm always looking for something to munch on. It may just be my new favorite hobby.

And then there is the temper that can flair up with lightening speed, the tears that come if I see or hear the word baby, and the uncontrolled flailing of wooden spoons if I mess up the caramel sauce I am making. It's the little things that seem to tip me over the edge of insanity. Lucky for me I have a husband that reminds me I am being ridiculous but loves me regardless. he seriously has this special soothing way about him. I would be a Bieber-chasing, cottage cheese eatin', wild-mad-woman without him.

Onto other big news, we made it to 12 weeks and on our way to the second trimester. And I seem to be leaving all that nasty all-day-sickness behind me. I still have my moments, but for the most part I am starting to feel pretty darn good.

Anything making you queasy or sick: coffee, and anything with a white creamy base (such as alfredo sauce, or soup with a cream base.....oh man, I need to stop thinking about it)
