The Big Chill

It appears that Summer is officially over in Northern Michigan. We won't get above 70 in the next several days and it was 65 degrees in the house this morning. Sean refuses to turn the heat on but I snuck and turned it on after he left for work. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE AUTUMN, but with it being so chilly in the morning it's that much harder to pull the blankets off and get UP!

So, we were married August 6th and everything went perfectly. The weather was dry, mild, and clear. The humidity was horrendous the day before but it dried up and my curls stayed in :) The food was amazing and I think everyone had a blast. We got so many nice things and have some extra cash for honeymoon and furniture. Now we just have to decide on both! I think we've decided on Grand Cayman for the honeymoon (sometime in December). I went in 1995 when I was a senior and it was awesome! Plus, it's not too expensive and we can swim with the stingrays!

I also got hired permanently at my job, which is a relief. I have a degree in Psychology and this job has NOTHING to do with that but you have to take what you can get sometimes and you all remember my 3 month long unemployment bit...not fun!

My Thyroid has been behaving thankfully! My old Endo increased my meds a touch when she found out I was expecting and my numbers have gone down and aren't even at a 2, which is GREAT! They like them below a 2 if you're pregnant. I saw my new Endo two days ago and she seemed happy with the Thyroid. My blood pressure was also good at 110/68. She prescribed me a pre-natal with Iodine because mine didn't have it (over the counter). I am also taking Vitamin B6/ Unisom for nausea (MIRACLE) and plant based DHA. So, I should be good to go!

I'm not sure when I will tell work about things. I want to try to wait until I am 5 months but that may be difficult. I have no idea how big I will get and when so we'll see. I am 11 weeks now and have only gained a pound or so, which is fine. I always layer and dress warmly at work anyway because it is so cold in there! I'm not trying to deceive anyone, just not a huge fan of people knowing too early. I also may not announce on Facebook. If I do it will be late. I don't know why I feel this way about Facebook, it just seems like once people are pregnant or have kids EVERY SINGLE post is about that and if you've been reading me for awhile you know that I am a HUGE fan of putting yourself first, then husband, then baby. It's like a pyramid to me. If I'm happy and healthy and taking care of myself that leads to me treating Sean right, and that leads to both us being prepared (mentally, physically, and emotionally) for baby. Yes, I love Sean and I love the baby already but I refuse to lose who I am in this process. There are times when baby will have to come first, especially at the beginning, but I think if I remember myself and Sean we will be good :) I think my due date is around April 2-4, which worries me because Sean's b-day is April 17th and I already told him I don't want him to have to share his day with the baby. Sounds weird right? I just want him to feel special on his own day too and not be overshadowed by the new baby. I don't want anyone to forget HIM.

Anywho, how about a few pics of the big day???


Okay, not a few. I don't have any from our photographer yet. The two above are from her sidekick who takes amazing pics as well and teased me with a couple of them. That is my Dad and my niece K-Rock who will be ONE in October! I will surely post more when I get them!

Have a great day!
