Lemon

Baby Olson is the size of a Lemon...

My first blog since announcing to the world that I'm prego. It feels so good to be able to talk about it with people. I think Jared was getting sick of the repetitive conversation I kept having with him. 

This pregnancy has been the most exciting, exhilarating and terrifying experience of my life.. And it is only week 14..

At week 11 I was put on bed rest. And I'll be honest, the first few days were great. Terrifying- but amazing. I finally could sleep nap whenever I want, eat whenever I want. But the serenity didn't last long before I'd gone through every episode of Law & Order SVU (tearfully might I add- it doesn't take much these days), My Fair Wedding (another tear jerker) and Parenthood. Talk about stir crazy! 

But, I learned to crochet-courtesy of my wonderful mother in law, began Hunger Games and enjoyed about a dozen cinnamon rolls- courtesy of amazing sister in law # 1, read about 8 magazines- courtesy of amazing sister-in law #2 AND curbed my nausea- courtesy of amazing sister in law #3. Are you getting the picture that I have the best family ever? Oh and to top it all off, my loving husband surprised me with a couch on Valentines day. Just what the doc ordered. {and, I might add, he did a great job- never ceases to surprise me how impressively good he is at picking important things out all on his own}

Anyway, I've been really into Pinterest these last couple weeks. I've found a few really cute pregnancy blogs and I'm not going to try and take any credit for this cute little questioner. Although, I'm not about to post any pictures of myself at this point.
