Sometimes I feel like such a horrible wife because of my lack of preparation, especially this Father's Day. As a little girl, I used to hide notes under my parents' pillows or my siblings for their birthdays or some other special occasion. I loved celebrating those times and holidays. Now, it seems like I'm such a slacker when it comes to getting ready for a holiday or even sending off birthday cards. So, obviously I blew it for Clay on Father's Day (at least at the beginning). I did get to make him a card at least ;) We also made candy leis for a Relief Society activity to hand out at church so Clay got one of those. Well, I suppose the part of the day that made him excited was to change his Facebook status (ha ha ha) and say that he was "officially going to be a daddy!". So yes, that day has come!
I'm finally about through with my first trimester and I think I've been lucky, most of the time. I was subbing as much as I could because I knew something would happen and I would have zero energy so it hit mid-May and I was as good as a rug on the floor. I was nauseous 24/7 and felt like it would be better to just throw up, but it would get worse when I didn't eat anything, and obviously nothing sounded good to me so I was always feeling sick. That's about how this last month has been, but slowly I'm getting my energy back and can eat a little bit more. It's funny because when we went to Idaho we went out to dinner with our friends and one of them announced that they were pregnant, so I waited a couple minutes and said that I had news too. They instantly guessed that I was pregnant too so I said "yes"! And then I told them the truth. Well, I guess I really hadn't lied because I was pregnant at that time! Also, my MIL asked me on Mother's Day if I was really a "mother" yet and I told her no (which was SO hard to lie to her), but in reality I was :) Anyway, it's been so hard to keep this secret so if any of you have asked me if I was prego and I lied, oops, sorry! So here's our latest ultrasound, well, only one so far. I'm only mid 12 weeks so I still have plenty a ways to go. It was so fun though to see that little being that's inside me! I'll admit I teared up at the beginning :) but the little thing was such a squirmer and kicking everywhere - it was so cute!!!
So this has been our recent adventure, seeing how I haven't posted in quite some time, but for a wonderful reason :) ha ha Oh, and about the bandwagon, I sure am hoppin' on with a bunch of you so let's party together!
