How to Get Fat

Eat, eat, and eat. Then sleep.

It seems that is all I want to do lately.

Seriously.

Someone give me a trough.


Alright, back to playing Donkey Kong! Eric and I are getting back in touch with our 10-year old selves and playing one of the best games ever invented.

This is when the S word is heard quite frequently in our house.

Today I Met...

This girl:

Her name is Megan. Isn't she beautiful?

Small beans, you say? Maybe to some. But to those of us who are avid readers of NieNie Dialogues, you will know her as the founder and owner of The Sweet Tooth Fairy bakery in Provo! She said she saw Nie last night. I said I was jealous. Then we talked about cupcakes, of course. And her new grand opening in Draper! (For all you Salt Lake folks!)

I've ran into quite a few people at Tai Pan since I've worked there. Like the Burley's from WA, Shane's mom, some people I knew from New York, and people related to the prophet. It's great seeing people like that!

Still waiting for Nie to show up. And Donny Osmond. Apparently I missed him last month. Mother.

Almost!

I almost did it. I got as far as putting on my entire workout ensemble. Problem is....I am still doing this:The other problem is....I don't feel bad about it. I went to sleep at 4:00AM people! FOUR AM. We got in bed at 11pm, but apparently there is a little something called early pregnancy insomnia? And let me tell you how freaking awesome it is.

When else do you get to stay up to:

- play Super Mario Brothers
- create Wii Mii characters resembling Paris Hilton and Oprah,
- watch the TV Guide channel for ten minutes because there's nothing good on and so every time it makes another round, you lower your standards just a little more and suddenly the Duggars' "18 Kids & Counting" sounds GREAT
- watch Twilight (a new low for me)
- play a few rounds of Mah Jong and win them all
- listen to songs you are ashamed to admit listening to (the playlist may or may not have included Ashlee Simpson)
- microwave and devour half a jar of Tostito's Salsa Con Queso
- feel sick 5 minutes later
- blogstalk every person you know...and don't
- find sweet desktop wallpaper for your Sony Vaio
- wonder if this means you will never get enough sleep for the rest of your life?

That's how awesome it is, people.

Which is why I'm still here on the couch. Cuz I kind of don't really care. About running around BYU's entire campus. It's cold. It's my day off. And I've got some Duggars to watch! (Ýes, I really am.)

The Sweetest Sound

Due to some complications, I went into the doctor on Thursday to see if the baby was okay. I got my very first ultrasound, where I got to hear the heartbeat! Wow. In all my life, that is the greatest sound I've ever heard. I'm only six weeks along, so I was very surprised to hear it! Unfortunately Eric was at work so he hasn't heard it yet, but he will soon! I felt completely relieved and started tearing up while the ultrasound tech was asking me questions. They also checked my HCG level and saw that it had gone up. So, don't fret! The baby is OK and I haven't had any more problems!

I've realized you can go through pregnancy one of two ways. You can either worry and fear every day that your baby will be okay, or you can give it up to God and trust in the best outcome. I started out doing the first, but on Thursday received some heavenly comfort. Ever since then, I just know our little baby is going to make it through.

BIG NEWS!!

We are stoked! A little surprised (Apparently antibiotics and birth control don't mix. Who knew??) but we're so excited.

April 13 is when we will get to hear the heartbeat. The doctor's think I'm about 4-5 weeks along already! Crazy.
