My New Year's Resolution:
Have a baby successfully... lets see if I can achieve this!
Meanwhile, I'm sitting here waiting for ambition to strike but nothing is happening. My house needs cleaning and I don't want to!
Ok enough whining.
I'm living in a serious winter wonderland right now and am hoping to make it out to work in a couple of hours... and then blizzard number two will hit and I'll be hoping to make it home just a couple of hours after that...
Happy New Years world!

Doctor's Appt
I wasn't 100% sure what the point of the doctor's appointment was today, but of course I went.
I got off work on time for once, so I arrive about 20 minutes early. They want you there 15 minutes early so that really wasn't so bad. I got there, did the urine thing, and had a seat. While I was sitting there, another pregnant lady and her man came in. What I gathered from her conversation with the front desk lady is that they were actually late, but still allowed to go through.
Them my name was called and I was weighed in. While I was putting my shoes on, the nurse mumbled something about sitting down. I wondered where the chairs were but by the time I looked up she was already gone. And then the couple that decided to come super late walked by. With my nurse! I proceeded to sit in this boring section with nothing to do for over a half hour. Nobody checked in. Nobody explained why the heck I was brought there in the first place.
I like to think I am a patient person, but those of you who know me know that I get super fed up with poor customer service. Where I work, it would be competely unacceptable to leave someone waiting for over a half hour. Especially without any explanation! So finally another nurse comes along and says there is finally a room available for me. Why in the world did this other couple get the nice room if they can't even make it to their appt on time??
Once I got in the room, she checked the basics and left again. On her way out, she said that the Dr was on the phone and had one person ahead of me (Gee, wonder who that is) before he could see me. She said that he gets super chatty on the phone so hopefully it wouldn't last too long. Once she shut the door, I knew I was doomed. I sat there for over a half hour. Without a check in from anyone.
I seriously was almost in tears. Here is the worst part. Well there are two worst parts. 1. When that late couple came in they asked if the doctor was behind schedule. The front desk lady said that he had been all afternoon. An hour and a half later is on time?? 2. When the doctor came in he didn't even apologize. Apparently I'm delusional and that is completely acceptable.
Here's the thing. I think he is disrespectful of his patient's time. I have to work too! I have to take time off or take the precious time off I get each week and I really don't like to spend it sitting in uncomfortable chair with nothing to do completely alone.
He was a nice guy but my perception of him was definitely tainted. He only talked to me for about 5 min. I waited that long for just 5 min with the man. Lesson of the story: Apparently being totally rude and late gets you places... so next time I will not show up until 20 min after my scheduled time! (We all know I won't do this...but seriously).
Good news? I got to get my hair done after, and Heather got me in early instead of making me wait 2 hrs! Gotta love a good hair stylist. It was wonderful.

Weekend
Not in any particular order:
I lost my mittens!
Had a youth group fail - concert was sold out when we got there. WORST LEADERS EVER?
Got to have a sleepover with Denise and Lara.
Mostly finished my Christmas shopping.
Made cookies with Jen and watched Elf. So good.
Made a miraculous angel cookie that was supposed to be a snowman.
Ate at a Thai food restaurant. DELISH.
Ate at Old Chicago with my fam - always wonderful.
Caught up with a great friend living down south :)
Saw the NDSU concert choir and orchestra perform the MESSIAH.
Generally avoided being outdoors. BURRRRR....
Is the weekend over already??

Ok fine I'll tell you!
Big news - I'm pregnant!
Baby is due June 15th and we are so excited! The reason I have not been blogging...at all... since I found out is because I could not contain my excitement about this. How is it that I had no problem find things totalk write about before but then suddenly that is all I could think of?? So I avoided the "New Post" option and just kept up on reading everyone else's beloved blogs.
Things you should know now that you know:
1.) Yes I was very sick and it was awful. It wasn't morning sickness, it was all day sickness. While it only lasted about a month, it felt like the longest month of my life! If I ate something that made me nauseous, I couldn't eat it again, so you can imagine that I was running out of food and driving Michael crazy! But thank the Lord - I am feeling much better now!
2.) I was, of course, very tired. Most nights I would come home and sleep for a couple of hours, wake up, and then just head upstairs to bed. I didn't do anything productive except sleep. And I never had any problem falling asleep at nights! It was definitely needed. Another PTL (praise the Lord!!) for having energy again! I was bouncing off the walls today at work with energy and I am a little surprised my coworkers put up with me so well!
3.) We are definitely going to find out what the sex of the baby is, and yes we will be sharing! We'll let people know the name of the baby once we know what the sex is. I consider it a surprise still since we won't know til then anyways. A girl has got to plan!
4.) We most likely will be collecting as many used baby items as we can since we don't want to break the bank. If you know anybody that is looking to get rid of some stuff, send them my way!! That goes for maternity clothes too. I am so disappointed that maternity clothes are so expensive and so hard to find. So m any pregnant woman - how is that possible??
I won't go completely baby blog on you but I also won't deny that it will be the majority of post subjects in the future!
