BOB Stroller

CLICK: BOB Stroller to see the stroller I want. :-)

Phoebe: How can you let him talk to your crotch like that?
Rachel: He's talking to the baby.
Phoebe: Oh! Okay! Okay, 'cause when — when he said "I can't wait to hear your first words," I thought, "There's a trick!"

Feeling sick again this morning... Bea Barzana that I babysit for told me yesterday that this is usually when it "creeps up" ... grrrreat!

Been keeping kashi crackers beside my bed to munch on in the AM before I get out of bed to help with the queasiness...

Need this seat...
^Use these where I nanny to sit the baby on the table in front of me to feed him/her... obviously not for a newborn but maybe a couple months old.

TOMORROW AM I LEAVE FOR STL!! I MISS RYAN SO MUCH!! I haven't seen him in 29 days ... yes I just paused typing this to count hahaha! That's like a month! Longest we've ever been apart before this was like a weekend... I saw him the Friday morning and then he was back Sunday morning... ha!! So its def been different.

"There comes a point in life when "FUN" no longer means clubbing, drinking, being out 'till 4am, or thinking about yourself first! Fun means Disney movies, family dinners, bedtime stories, long cuddles, a messy house...".

Laying in bed... feeling nauseous again today... boo! I'm supposed to hear back today about my bloodwork I got done on Friday... I believe it was called a serum test... to tell me exactly HOW pregnant I am.

After today I can make my appointment for my first OBGYN appointment.

Had crazy dreams last night ... went to bed at like 830 woke up at 12... wide awake and having to P of course ... dream had Ryan and I... his sister Danielle, Aaron and their 3 kiddos... and there was a tornado... but everyone was ok... actually Aaron texted Danielle up in the air during the tornado to tell her we were still going out to dinner hahahaha... gracious... atleast I didn't dream about bacon (gross) like I did 3 nights ago... WEIRD.

You can't start the next chapter of your life, if you are continually re-reading the last one.. we must let go of the hurts of the past, carrying the memories lightly, to embrace new adventures ♥
