Maternity Clothes and Nachos

So today was a fun day! Manny and I headed off to Target to buy deodorant and face wash, and ended up maternity clothes shopping. I bought my first maternity outfit!! It's so cute, but the price wasn't too adorable. The price you pay to be comfortable I guess. But it's like Heaven sent down cloud-like shorts with an Angelic waist. I could sleep in these suckers! So after our shopping escapade, we went to Manny's (long-awaited) dentist appointment and fell head over heels with the little office we went to. Everyone was amazingly sweet and our Dentist was super friendly and really took his time explaining everything to us. We were in awe at how awesome going to the Dentist can be. We even got little goodie bags :D Tune in next week for my (also long-awaited) Dentist appointment!!

My new maternity outfit! :)



The next thing is probably thee happiest pregnancy moment I've had so far. We decided we were starving, so we hopped across the street to Rubio's. I figured I'd just order some tortilla chips since tummy doesn't like me eating real people food. But I felt like the nachos and I had a connection, so I ordered the nachos. BEST. DECISION. EVER. It was like pregnancy Heaven. Oh and can't forget my amazing iced tea :) We took it to go and ate at home (just in case tummy didn't agree) and I'm so glad we did, because tummy was not happy with me. About halfway through, I had to make an unexpected trip to the toilet (yum!). But guess what I did? Shook it off, and went right back to eating my nachos! And those suckers stayed down the second time! I haven't felt this full in forever. And I plan on weekly Rubio's trips to help get my lost booty back ;) So those were our interesting day adventures. Manny is at work, so I'm chilling out watching a wedding show and sipping on my ice tea. Happy as a bug on a log :)

Pregnancy update: Week 15

So far pregnancy has been, uhhhh, not what I was expecting. The first two weeks after I found out, and after talking to Mom (who seemed to have a fairly easy pregnany) were actually pretty good. I was eating A LOT. I was hoping I'd have an easy pregnancy too!! But as soon as I went for my first ultrasound/appointment, the morning sickness hit. And it hasn't gone away since. I have been MISERABLE. I've lost WAY too much weight, and can barely eat real food. I snack mostly :) And a lot of what I eat, ends up coming right back up. Around 10 weeks, my OB introduced me to a lifesaver, Zofran. It has worked wonders! I no longer throw up daily (every few days is now the reg), but I'm still not eating much. I'm now into my second trimester, and it hasn't cleared up. But I'm not losing hope! I've been working my rear end off trying to eat new foods (and keep them down) and trying to eat more. It's not going too well, but I'm making progress! :) So week 15 has been like almost every other week. I do have a baby bump now, and I can feel baby move around every once in awhile. She likes to hang out on the outskirts of the womb, and shove herself up into my ribs/pelvic bone/side of the stomach until I poke and prod her to move. It makes my tummy all lopsided, and feels weird. It hurts when I cough!! So as much as I love feeling her and her tummy hugs, I try to move her so Mommy can be more comfortable :) Manny and I learned the other night, to shine a flashlight on my tummy where she is, and she swims away. It was pretty funny! She's almost 5 inches now too! Getting big :) Here are some pictures!!

Pre-pregnancy bliss

So I got Manny and I's "engagement pictures" today, and I miss the care-free days at Disneyland! Where we could waltz in the front gates, and ride WHATEVER we wanted to ride, and eat whatever we wanted to eat. Don't get me wrong, this is all worth it, but I miss little things (like not puking daily) that come with, ermm, not being pregnant. Here is our last pre-pregnancy/baby photoshoot :)
Ahhhh those were the days! :) Now onto the next chapter of our lives!!
