April 6th

Today was the perfect lazy Sunday. I got my Sunday nap… it felt so good to lay there and relax and snore. My husband was making fun of me, I was sleeping with my mouth wide open.

We also took the new truck over to the parents houses to show them. My husband was super excited to show off all of the features. I’m so proud of him.

Now we are ending our night with a movie together. I love lazy Sundays.

April 5th

My husband got the truck he’s been wanting for weeks today. I cannot begin to mention how proud I am of him.

He has always set goals for himself, he is head strong, works hard, and then achieves his goal. I know no matter what he can do anything he puts his mind to.

He’s so beyond excited about his truck, we drive it to dinner tonight with my brother and his girlfriend. Tomorrow he wants to take our girls for a ride and show it to the parents. (My dad, the Chevy guy, is super excited to see it. Of course).

I’m just happy to be apart of his life. I cannot express how amazing of a man he is. It just makes me sit in awe that he will be the father of my kids because this is the life I have always wanted.

My nostalgia was high. I rode in the center seat, holding his hand, and listening to him singing. Our last song started was our wedding song. It was the perfect end to the night.

April 4th

Today was a very boring time. I really wish I had something new or exciting to write about but I think I am in the boring sleeping all the time phase.

I am in bed by 9pm on a weekend simply because I am exhausted.

Tomorrow will be a long day for me. I am having brunch with his family (females only) for his aunts birthday. Then, we are going truck shopping.

My husband wants to buy a new Chevy to have another new and reliable vehicle for our family. Plus, it will pull our camper longer.

I hope he finds what he is looking for tomorrow, he deserves it!

April 2nd

Tomorrow I am trying out short acrylic nails and I have no idea what the design will be just yet…which I’m laughing at myself because I do think every time. I never know until the day before or the day of.

It’s a nice little self care treat, but also, I’m dreading it because after I get it done I know I’m going to want to go home and go directly to bed.

Just like today. Before 8:30pm, I am laying in bed ready to go to sleep. I’m going to force myself to read at least one chapter before I go to bed.

I wonder if I will ever have any energy during this pregnancy? Probably not. But I am counting down the days that I have my first appointment! April 14th cannot come fast enough.

April 1st

Today I slept in – V cancelled due to exhaustion and I took full advantage and slept in. Which, I am doing tomorrow too because we are running after work.

My husband and I were talking together tonight at bed time about how we are going to announce to our families that we are expecting. I think we came up with a solid plan and I am so excited.

I’m also so ready to stop keeping this secret. It’s so hard to keep quiet and I’m ready to start celebrating and collecting things.

I want to start the nursery, I want to start a registry, and I want to start planning things. But all in good time.

We are just ecstatic!

March 31st

I bought a pregnancy journal over the weekend. And it finally came in today. I’ve waited all day to open it and take a look and I’m so excited. I get to do that before bedtime today.

Today was a boring day. I was CSR and I really wish that our phones were ringing off the hook to keep me occupied, but that’s not what was happening.

After a long day, I stop by the store to pick up alcohol for my brother, and noticed that a package came in. Assuming that it was mine I opened it and it was his. It was Pokémon cards.

I had to play a joke on him, so we opened it and resealed it with scotch tape and a Pokémon switch game and when he opened it, he suspected nothing and was angry and didn’t understand why the person shipped him the wrong thing.

After I started crying from laughing so hard, I told him that I hit the Pokémon cards and that it was my game that I put in the box.

That was probably the highlights of my day.

March 30th

Today I told my best friend that we are expecting. We started a FaceTime after she told me a funny story about her cats from the night before. Then she asked me how I was, I thought it was a nice Segway to tell her.

My husband carried Nyx in with the bandana that said Big Sister. It took her a minute to read it and register it and then for the next hour or so, she was extremely supportive and had so many questions. It felt so wonderful to be loved and supported that way.

It makes me miss the days that we lived only minutes away from each other. I wonder some times what it would be like to live closer, to be able to have those calm nights together and have those gossip days.

I’m just beyond grateful for the village that I have. Even though we may not talk every day, I feel the love and support regardless.

She added her sister onto the FaceTime call, her family was like a second family to me growing up, and she was having lunch with her mom. Her mom cried she was so happy for me. It just makes my heart swell, even from states away this baby is going to be so spoiled.

That was the highlight of my day. I am so beyond excited for this chapter in our lives.

March 29th

Today marks four years since bringing Nyx home. I can hardly believe that that chaotic baby has been with me this long. But I have never been so grateful for her presence in my life.

We celebrated by going to Dunkin, getting her a pup cup, taking the dogs on an extra long walk, and then snuggled at home for a little while.

Nyx has always brought out the crazy side and perfectly balanced us out. She makes us laugh nonstop and I’m excited to see how she will bond with our kids.

Later on, Brandon wanted to go fishing and with it being a nice day out, I decided to join. Typically I would have fished with him, it I wanted to read instead. So I packed up my book, a pillow, and a comfy chair.

We sat out here for a couple of hours soaking up the sun and enjoying the day. I was thankful that the rain held off for us.

It was a peaceful way to end the day, before tomorrow I tell my best friend our good news.

March 28th

Today, I got bit at work unprovoked by a fifty pound dog. Thankfully, she didn’t break skin. But when I put them into a room and walked out – I immediately showed my manager because there were visible teeth marks where she got me.

We went in, explained to the owner that she would have to be muzzled per our protocol for the safety of our staff and the owner rescuers and walked out.

So after that – I decided I needed some seratonin after hearing her go, “did she even get you though?”

I got to snuggle a daschund puppy named Howie and my last appointment was a sweet cat named Buttercup (male) but was named after the PowerPuff Girls. Which was one of my favorite tv shows growing up.

Then I asked my mother in law and brother to go out to Mexican to sit on a patio and have margaritas. Obviously, I didn’t. I had water and leaned back and enjoyed the sun. It was so peaceful to sit by and chat.

It was a much better ending to a shitty work day.

Tomorrow, I am feeling the strong urge to spring clean the house with all of the windows open because it’s supposed to to be gorgeous.

Then perhaps a nap on the couch?? I love being able to sleep. This pregnancy keeps me tired and as a previous insomniac – it’s great.
