On your marks, ready, set, GO!

Here I am coming into my 20th week of being pregnant. Its the half way point folks!!

I have to say this week has been one of the sorer weeks. I was home Monday - Wednesday, cramping Thursday and well Friday.. I couldn't wait for the day to pass. Luckily I got to go home early from work cause they were cutting cement right beside the HVAC system and basically it smelled like being in a locked garage with the car running. That is no place for a pregnant woman to be LOL! I booked it out of there fast.

I've been asking the other 3 girls at work who are preggos if they experiencing the same cramping and my suspicions are correct, it must be the uterus expanding. GREAT.

The nightmares and bad dreams have been occurring daily and it hasn't been fun. Last week was a pretty bad one, the one and only time I didn't wake up screaming that my house wasn't being robbed or I wasn't being kidnapped. good lord.

My appetite is still little to non-existant. I have no cravings and if it was up to me, I wouldn't eat period. Eating makes me feel gross and the only point I am eating is because of the baby. blah.

I made some lentils last night because I refuse to eat meat. I loved my steaks rare and my prime rib bloody but during this whole pregnancy, the thought of an animal cooking just makes me hurl. Lets not mention dairy or eggs. errrrrrr.

Anyways I'll leave with a picture of Robert wearing Furfur's hand me down Halloween sweater ;-)

I have RETURNED!!!

Well! Lots of things have happened since my last blog on Feb 22.

First off, during the month of June I thought I was losing my mind. I honestly thought I was going mentally insane. It was to the point where I thought I was being undiagnosed with diabetes.

Turns out...

I'M PREGNANT :o
(and I got a dog!!)

I'm going on my 19 weeks now and things have been hectic. Between all of June, July, August and September, I thought I lived the WORST months of my ENTIRE LIFE. Between not eating, feeling sea sick 24/7, going through hormonal changes, feeling weak, exhausted, fatigued, then working on top of that, then moving to another place, I literally thought I was going to die.

Found out that my mom went through the same rough times as I did when she was pregnant with me. I don't have any cravings and I barely have an appetite but I am sustaining with eating whatever is in front of me. Now I only work 4 days a week with a doctors note cause its just exhausting.

And the dog, we got Robert during Easter weekend when I was going through one of my PMS tyrants. One look at him and I said we had to get him, he was unsold at the random pet store for 4 months. Not the cutest dog but he does have personality. He named him Robert, a no-nonsense name for a no-nonsense dog. He's half chihuahua half shih-tzu but he just doesn't look like anything really, just a wiry brown haired year old puppy. LOL!

Anyways, I will make more of an effort to keep up with this blog as the hubby would like me to keep track of my pregnancy some how.

Merry Christmas! Long time no blog!

it's been 3 solid months sinced i've blogged. I think a lot of things have happened since september. I got myself a permanent job, I took a little trip to Cancun and I finally moved into our house,.. that we bought.. and we're in a lot of debt.

During my 4 month stint at head office, I applied for a position within the organization in june. Well september rolled around I finally got a call for the interview. A few weeks later, I got the position. That was the good part, the bad part was the commute. I can bitch and moan about the commute but I'm just glad I'm employed, full time and permanent.

My brother and sister in law got married in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. We were there for a week, it was beautiful but not as beautiful as our honeymoon in April. It was a lot cooler this time and the resort wasn't as great. Overall, it was satisfactory trip.

The same weekend we came back from Mexico, we decided to finally take the leap and move into the house we bought in June. Our brother and sister in law "P&S" went in with the purchase and they live in the basement while we took the top floor. They moved in September and have been occupying the house while renovations have been taking place. The move was quite rough but we managed. Its December 27th today and well, we moved in November 22nd and still haven't unpacked.

FYI: I also managed to sprain my right ankle by rushing down the steps and completely missing the last step. I really hate this house.

There have been quite a few things that have been going on but not enough to blog about. I've been keeping myself busying and reading other peoples food blogs from Vancouver.

I'll try my best to keep my blog updated in the new year.

Back from the grave

Its a dreary night here in Vancouver and I've caught a cold. I keep thinking about the past, like stuff from 10 years ago. I feel young but numerically, I'm a married cougar(good lord!).

Many thoughts through my mind, like hanging out a pool halls, ricers, eating at 24 hour chinese food joints, karaoking, bubble tea'ing, smoking marbs, drinking china white shooters, taiwanese food, pho, raves, Lesters, .. the list goes on.

Its not like I wanted to go back to doing those things but really I miss being young and free.

Looks like the last time I posted was the same time I started my 4 month stint at MV covering somebody's leave of absence. Well its been 4 months and I completed my stint.

Within those 4 months, I met some great coworkers and I'll probably miss them a lot. I thought I'd be out on the streets after my assignment ended but good news... I won a permanent position within MV. This is rare because I heard horror stories were people waited anywhere between 4-10 years to becoming permanent. Like they say, the only way to get a position at MV is if somebody retires or dies. true story.

Its been a busy 4 months.. hence coming back and updating my blog.

I'm not sure what's in store for me in the future but its pretty scary thinking about it. I'm off to LCOC for the next 4 days, then permanently going to SCFP and supporting the people out there.

My short-term goal at this point is trading in the Civic and getting myself a nice pickup truck and running over pedestrians. I've already gone back to my roots and highlighted my hair blonde(you can't tell by the pic tho). I might as well start fresh with a fresh new look..

scurred.
