Chuggin' along

So, I am pretty sure there is SO much to catch up on that I am not even going to try. My Holidays were really not that exciting...I was sick on Christmas, fell asleep at 11 on New Years, and drove from Cali to Arizona for half of my birthday, so there really is not too much to share. I am going to try to hit on a few things that I have been wanting to blog about, though, so here it goes!

1. For starters, I have been feeling much better. John and I went to Cali and AZ over New Years and it was the best I have felt in a LONG time. I was able to eat food, drink, and socialize, which was great! We went to Sea World on Dec. 27th. I knew I wouldn't make it all day while walking, so we got me a wheelchair! It was one of the Automatic driving ones, pretty cool! Pretty much the other people in wheelchairs were either super old or had broken bones, so I was paranoid people would just think I was lazy. I got over that fairly quickly.

2. My Dad has been in the hospital the last week. Its a reeeeally long story that has been going on for a couple of months, but if you know my dad/dont already know they story I would happily share if you ask! He seems to be doing much better, but any prayers on his behalf would be great so he can heal quickly and get back to work! Its hard seeing a loved one experience so much pain, but I have faith he will start getting better :)

3. I gotta say, I honestly have the best, most giving husband in the world. Not only does he take such good care of me when I am sick, but he is also always thinking of how he can help others, especially my parents. I dont know how I ended up with such a sweet person, but I cant help but feel he is suppose to be in my life. He doesnt even read this blog, but I hope when I am feeling better I can be a better wife to him and treat him as well as he has treated me!

4. I am obsessed with Pickles. And Flaming Hot Cheetos. Anyone know where I can buy those Cheetos? The Smiths by out house doesnt have any! Lame-oid

5. This is complete and total TMI, but I have some great advise for people who might need it. As I have previously mentioned in other posts, the nausea meds I have been taking make me very plugged up. The last week or so I have eaten an orange every day. So delish! Not only are they good...they seem to have made it easier to "go". This is just for anyone who has experienced such fun times and wanted to know! I am so helpful.

6. My mom pointed out something interesting to me the other day. She realized that I actually began this year pregnant...and ended it pregnant! How weird is that? Even stranger is I still dont have a baby to show for it :D (I say that jokingly, by the way). I have another Dr's appointment tomorrow so I am hoping all is still well! I am OFFICIALLY in my second trimester (14 weeks) so I am hoping things look up from here! (I say OFFICALLY because when I look online, all sites are different saying when your 1st trimester ends. Very confusing. I just said as soon as I hit 14 weeks, Im good.)

Those are all of the updates I can think of at this time. John bought me a new camera for my birthday so I am hoping to take some fun pictures to share with ya'll soon! I hope you all have a great 2009!
