Staying Awake

I found carters.com. It taught me that girl clothes are cuter than boy clothes! I also learned that you can make a wish list on that site, and mine is a mile long.

I am so tired of working two jobs, but I have to keep it up! Not because we need the money, but because I haven't decided where I'll be working after the baby is born. Until I decide that, I can't quit either job. (frown.)

Turkey avocado sandwiches are the most amazing sandwiches and I can't eat enough of them right now!

Why is it that I want to sleep all day long, but once bedtime comes all I want to do is watch Breaking Bad?

What will our baby's name be? Hmmmm, baby names. . .baby names. . . maybe Rylee, Tyson, Amanda, Gage, Holly, Evan, Emma, Stephen, Pearl, Adam, Avery, Trey, Selena, Asher, Jenna, Xavier, Wendy, Oliver, Adriana, Leavitt, Bailee, Jaden, Karli, or Marvin. . .

. . . Just kidding. We already have a girl and boy name picked out. I may tell it to you in person, but I'm not posting it online just yet.

I hope if I ever get jury duty it's for something good! Maybe not a murder, but attempted murder or arson, that would be pretty cool!

I really don't know what to write about. My eyes, MY EYES, are trying to shut, but I have to keep telling them to stay the heck open because I'm at work and this is NO time for naps!

Trimester Two

The first trimester was not an easy one.

It's hard being told you're going to gain weight (when you really want to lose,)
 and that you have to be ok with it.

I could barely function I was so tired all the time!

I had a constant fear of miscarrying.

I couldn't tell anyone!! (This killed me!)

I threw up every single Monday, the rest of the week was dry
 heaving and feeling nauseous all day.

The only food that settled my stomach was potatoes.

Now I'm on my second trimester!

I wake up several times during the night, I never feel rested. . .
. . . so exhaustion is even worse now.

Nausea only hits late at night.

We finally told people we're expecting, YAY!

I'm still scared of miscarriage, but not as much as I was.

I haven't "popped" yet, I'm just getting chubby, (bummer.)

Fun Fact:

I have 15 other friends on facebook who are pregnant and due between March and July.

A Baby!?

Yes!

I am Pregnant!!

Shane and I found out when I was only 5 weeks along.

It wasn't a surprise because we were trying, but it was and still is super exciting!

I'm now 13 weeks,
due June 2, 2013!

We find out the gender on December 18th,
(I want a boy, Shane wants a girl, but we'll both be happy with whatever we get.)

I have no awesome ultrasound picture to show yet because the only one I've had was when I was 7 weeks, so you can't even tell it's a baby yet, (it looks like a jelly bean!)

We heard the heartbeat today, and while we were listening with the doppler, we heard a big thump. The doctor let us know that that was the baby kicking the doppler! (Awwww so cute!)

We can't wait to be parents!

Advice, eh?

So I went down memory lane and read some old posts from my previous blog here, and I came to the conclusion that I used to be a lot more interesting than I am now. Bummer.

There are seven fires currently going on in Utah right now. I'm not kidding and they're not small! Utah is a blazing orange! I was so happy to have such a dry winter, but now seeing what it's doing to not only Utah, but the surrounding states as well, I don't think I'll ever wish for no snow again! 

Shane and I have been house sitting and babysitting Chip for my parents while they're camping, and it's been a blast! (I want a dog!) I love spending time with the little pup. He's just adorable!

I had my orientation today at Sizzler, and Tuesday I start training. I didn't get the server position I wanted, but that's ok because I can work towards the position. It seems like a great company and I am excited to work for them. I'll be working there as much as I can until I can find a day time job. Once I get a day job Sizzler will be moved to nights. 

We're going to see the new Spiderman with our fun friends Caity and Ben next week. We're excited, the previews look awesome so it'd better be good!

I went to a baby shower today for my high school friend Kenzie. She looked great, I love her little belly!! She got some of the cutest things, her little boy is always going to look so darling!! Seeing all the baby things made me so excited to be a mom one day. Baby things are just so precious and tiny!! I love it all!

So this is crappy, but since being married I've gained a few pounds, (as you may have noticed if you've seen me recently. Blah.) I'm trying to get healthy again, and holy cow it is not easy! I began calorie counting with this and it wasn't too bad this week. But today hit and I was just so hungry, I stupidly made Saturday my "cheat day." Bad decision. I have been eating everything in sight!! Help! Does anyone have any tips on losing weight and developing healthy habits?? I need I need!! 

Who Farted?

I have a headache right now. I think it may be because I haven't had caffeine today. Oh gosh, I never wanted to be "that" person. . . .My name is Candice, and I am an addict. 

Shane and I recently started watching a new television series on Netflix. Bob's Burgers. Heard of it? Didn't think so. It's a pretty hilarious cartoon, but word of caution: sometimes it has adult jokes in it. It makes us laugh, and it features the voice of the lovely Kristen Schaal, also known as Mel from Flight of the Conchords.

Story time! We got home from our cruise almost two weeks ago - and time is flying! . . .Anyway, I didn't take my phone with me on the trip, so when we got home I checked my messages. I had one from the lady I worked for. Some family things had come up and turns out. . . they didn't need me anymore. So I get home from vacation and find out I am jobless. So sad. They are an amazing family and I really love them. I was so upset, but I understand that family needs come first. So for the past two weeks I have been job searching. I got a job at a restaurant that I will work at full time until I can get a day job, and then I will only work the restaurant at night, (I love working.) So if anyone knows of anywhere hiring, please do let me know! It would be so greatly appreciated, as we kind of really need an income from me.

I've always wanted to call 911, but I never have. I hope one day I get to. I also hope that when I do, whatever it's for, ends well.

Pretty sure Shane and I can be a pretty fun couple, once you get to know us and our awkward slash shy stage is over with. We do love people, most of the time. I promise we do.

Say "slash shy" out loud. It sounds weird. It almost sounds like a dance move. Everybody do the slash-shy!

So many people are having babies! I love it! I especially love the baby blogs, they are so fun to read! Word of advice if you're pregnant: Make a baby blog because I want to read them!

Excuse my husband, he just farted.

The main reason I'm writing this post is because I don't really have much else to do. . . because I don't have a life. . . or a job. . . and I like to write. . . And I need a job!

Ending a blog post is always awkward for me. 

Our Baby!

We got a new car! His name is Finnegan, he's a raisin colored (not purple,) 2009 Nissan Cube, and I love him. I get to drive him most of the time because we got rid of Molly (my Aveo.) We still have Saffron (the Sentra,) and Shane's motorcycle Ruby, so he drives those. Finn is a great car and we couldn't be happier with him!
