Only when you're pregnant...

Ive had a few "only when you're pregnant moments" that I thought were kinda funny to share..

The other day I had a work even on and was going to be home late- so Dan took Dyllan on a date for dinner. Dan and Dyllan were still out when I got home- so feeling lazy and hungry I decided to hop back in the car and go get some McDonnalds (doh!).  Instead of going to the one thats super close to our house-  I drove that extra bit further to one that had a drive thru- so I wouldn't have to get out of the car.  I get to the drive thru and am about to place my order and realize that I left my walled at home on the kitchen table.  MAN!!  So I had to back the car out of the drive thru and go back home... and no, I didn't go back out.  Instead I made a quesadilla (probably equally as bad for me).  (Pregnancy Brain + Cravings)


We had a few ripe bananas in our fruit bowl one morning- so I chopped one up.. and instead of making a normal breakfast- by adding say.. cereal and milk to it.. I decided to make a banana split and added a scoop of ice cream, whipped cream, carmel and nuts (hey at least there was banana and nuts!) 


After a long day of errands and chores (ok not really I am just trying to make myself feel better)- Dyllan and I made a pit stop at the mall for doughnuts.  We each ordered 3 mini doughnuts.. and i'm ashamed to say that Dyllan only got to eat 1 of her mini doughnuts before I snarffed hers down too.  Oops- what a mean mom..(btw I HATE how they now label the calories on things like these..as if I really needed to know I ate 2 full meals worth of calories as a snack)


I finally decided to bite the bullet and order some maternity clothes- mostly for work- as I no longer fit into anything.. and wear my same stretchy black pants every single day.  I got my package yesterday- and was soo excited to try on my new purchases.  I tried them on and quickly realized a pattern.. each top resembled some sort of cape or shawl with sleeves.  Yuck.  Am I really that girl wearing a bag with stretch pants?  After trying them on with a few necklaces, I decided- heck.. why not just keep em.   I'll just wear a blazer over them with a long necklace.  Right?


Only when you're pregnant is it ok to go to bed every night at (or before) 8:30pm.  My nights these days (yes, even weekends.. *Loser*) consist of work, dinner, desert (ha!), trashy tv (or now the olympics), bed.  Dan said it best when he said "you're a boat load of fun!".  


Everything these days (especially after say 5pm) seems like such an effort.. so last night instead of going downstairs to take the laundry in off the clothes line when i heard rain.. I thought "oh well... guess it will get a second wash, and dry out tomorrow.."  Ugh.. lazy.  I will probably have to rewash it now..

Dddddd Dora backpack

The other day when I dropped Dyllan off at daycare I realized that She was the only one who hung a diaper bag up on the backpack rack out front of her classroom. Silly me.. Who brings a diaper bag To school at 2 1/2 years old? Not cool mom..

Friday Katie ( my also pregnant American friend who i do almost everything with) came around for dinner and movies- while her husband was on a shark dive and Dan was playing in a soccer game- and brought Dyllan a little surprise... A D..d..dd Dora ( as dyllan calls her) Backpack!!

Dyllan couldn't be happier- she packed it up with all her favorite things and wouldn't take it off!

Thanks Katie!

19.5 weeks

I took these last week- 19.5 weeks pregnant.

I am now over the hump- over half way there already! Only 20 more weeks to go...

Manly beach- Sunday afternoon swim

A long distance phone call

Lucky for me, I talk to Dad all the time- but this time was particularly special.  Dad was enjoying a vacation down in Arizona with Tatyana and her family when I called to tell him the news:  I am pregnant!

 ...and Tatyana captured the moment.

17 weeks

Wow, 17 weeks down but still so far to go..

Feeling much more normal these days- although still going to bed before 9pm and eating like a sumo wrestler.

You can't so much tell from these pictures but I am really beginning to show. I have been wearing my maternity pants daily since about week 13! I'll have to take the next pictures at night when a days worth of carbo loading has sunk in.

Dyllan couldn't help herself- she loves being part of the action!

Every time we ask "Dyllan, do you want a brother or a sister?" She answers  "Brother".

" What doing mama, what doing?!"

Dyllan's standing up tall on top of her bug scooter, just so she can be in the picture.

I have a feeling Dyllans going to be a great big sister..

Here is week 17 when I was pregnant with Dyllan
