Short & sweet!

I thought I'd do a quickie blog today since I haven't written anything since March freakin' 21st!  Time for an update!

I am now 22 weeks and 4 days, if you all can believe it!  I, for one, am still getting used to this whole "being pregnant" thing lol.  However, Little Miss Bailey likes to remind me that, yes, she is indeed in there!  I feel nudges pretty regularly now, and I get a little antsy if I haven't felt her for awhile.  She is definitely still most active at night!  Plus, the larger my belly gets, the more real it becomes.  For instance, here's my 22 week picture:


I mean, wow!  Look at that bump!  I guess there's no denying it now; I am with child ;) And... I think it's time for me to start using my self-tanning lotion.  I'm so pasty!

My cravings haven't changed much from last time, either.  I seriously had a dream about donuts last night.  I got my Chick-fil-A fix last month, but that craving never goes away.  STUPID DELICIOUS SPICY CHICKEN!!  Why must you be so far away?!

Anyway, that's pretty much it.  Nothing too exciting happening here lately, which is alright by me!  I had thought of a couple things to write about a few days ago, but I have since forgotten entirely what they were.  This happens too often!  My memory sucked before I got pregnant, and I'm rather certain that it's gotten about ten times worse.  Oh well, whatcha gonna do?

And now, I'll leave you with something that all women giving birth probably experience lol:

Anniversaries and Eating!

Nine years?! That's right - Mark and I have been married for nine years today!!  When Mark and I were engaged, I had pictured myself being married to Mark for a long time, but I had no idea how hard that road would be.  Don't get me wrong, we certainly had some good times, but I was not prepared for the bad that came along with them.  It's taken a lot of work to get to where we are, and in my mind, going through what we have been through and staying married is a HUGE accomplishment on our parts.  Of course, he still gets on my nerves from time to time (and vice versa, I'm sure), but our relationship is incredibly strong and I don't see myself going anywhere else.  Here's to many more, my love! Cheat days! After boasting that I had lost 6 pounds, I gained 3 back.  Oops.  It's amazing how just a couple of "naughty" days can affect your progress!  I'd say I'm back on the right track, but we're going to Benihana tomorrow night to cele...

It's a new me!

Where do I begin?? Since my last blog pretty much centered on my lack of discipline when it came to fasting, I feel the need to redeem myself.  Yes, I'm back on the wagon!! Exercising rules!   I started the Bikini Body Mommy Challenge this past Monday (the 31st), and have worked out every day since... making that a whopping 6 days in a row.  THAT NEVER HAPPENS.  My ass has been kicked every day, and, if it's even possible, I'm already feeling more "fit" than I was a week ago.  To be honest, though, I still suck at a lot of things - lunges (my balance and coordination are not the best), push ups, planks, and particularly these little bastards: burpees.  If you've never heard of a burpee, Google it or look it up on YouTube.  They're torture, and right now I can only do about 2 of them before my body says "STOP!!!!"  I also learned that I shouldn't try to do too many jumping jacks because I'll mess up my knee for a couple of days.  Ugh...

The Middle Class Struggle

Sometimes it's hard to be in the middle class, you know? Let me preface this by saying I'm glad that Mark has a good job and that we don't rely on welfare to get by.  That said... Oh.  My.  Goodness.  It should not be this difficult to get your child the help she needs if you aren't making minimum wage and receiving government benefits.  There are a lot of things I love about California, but the way they treat the middle class is ridiculous. A little backstory: You all pretty much know about what's going with Bailey - she is very behind in speech and language and definitely needs some help catching up to her peers (she is now 3 years old and is still not speaking in sentences and her words are still a little jumbled).  Her intelligence is very high, but she can't figure out how to put the words together to hold a conversation - something just isn't clicking.  Anyway, she goes to a daycare program three half days a week and it has really helped ...
