Just for Laura Cutler

Ha ha, you ask and I deliver.

I never have any idea how to start these things. It feels weird to just start listing off the recent going-ons of my life. But that's what the people want. And that's what they will get.

For the most part, I have learned to manage my nausea. It's called lots of food and a fun little pill called Ondansetron (we'll call this ondi for short.) Ondi is great and makes working manageable. Except that the stupid insurance only gave me 12 pills. Each pill lasts 6 to 8 hours. So I only take them when I work which makes my weekends pretty miserable. This past weekend was pretty nasty. On Sunday I woke up feeling growdy but was able to keep down some slimfast in the morning, but after that I couldn't keep anything down. As ya'll know, when you are pregnant and don't have anything in your stomach, you throw up. Or your body tries to. That's what mine did all day. Dry heaving and some throw up. Fun times. The next day wasn't much better and I almost thought I needed to go to the hospital because I wasn't eating or drinking anything. But, I was able to keep some small things down, go to bed and take an ondi this morning and keep food down. Don't worry I'm not letting that happen again. I have a huge refill coming tomorrow! Also, from these experiences I have learned to not fear throwing up anymore!! That's a pretty big deal.

In other good news, Ronnie passed his last CPA exam!!! This is huge!!! These tests are freakin' expensive and difficult. I'm soo proud of him. Now he just has to have a set amount of audit hours and he will be a CPA.

I should take a moment and brag about Ronnie. This whole sickness period of my pregnancy has not been easy on him. If I am feeling any kind of sick he has to stay far away because I get super nauseous just smelling him (sad times, I know.) Also, I have to eat immediately after I wake up before I really get moving or else I'm sick. So he has to wake up and make me some breakfast before I can even get up. Did I mention that some of my days start at 4:00 AM? Yeah, I have to be at high school shoots at 5:30 AM, so we have to be up around 4 and leave the house by 5. He also has been doing all the laundry, dishwashing, shopping and food-getting. He is amazing. AND... he still loves me!! Man, I lucked out!

Not too much else has been going on. I usually come home from work and go straight to sleep. Ronnie pretty much does the same thing. We're super boring these days, but hopefully that will change in a couple weeks when my nausea all of a sudden disappears! (here's to hoping!)

I'm anxiously awaiting November for a few reasons. Reason number one, we will be finding out the sex of our baby, November 5th!! We are going to this place called Miracle in Progress where you go into this big room with lots of couches and they show the ultrasound on the wall, like a movie so everyone can see the reveal at the same time. I can't wait!! Lots of family and friends will be making the trek to Vegas to join us. Then it's shopping time!! Oh my goodness I just want to shop soo bad! But I really can't until I know who to shop for!

Reason number 2, Breaking Dawn is coming out!

Sorry this picture sucks, I took a screen shot from the trailer. I see this scene and just die. (Side note, doesn't it look like Stephenie Meyer is in the picture? Look at the woman in the front left. I'm going to do some research and confirm this fact.) Can my next wedding please look like this? Thanks. So, I know this movie is going to be horrible. I can tell they changed stuff already that really irks me, but the anticipation is so much fun. Especially when you share it with your besties. It's looking like I might be watching the premiere in Salt Lake. Because me and the BFF always do these things together, no matter what.

Update: It's totes Stephenie Meyer. I'm such a bad fan for not even knowing that.
