19 Weeks, 11 month anniversary tomorrow

After my stressful start to the week, things have calmed down significantly.  I literally cried myself to sleep Monday night, overwhelmed by every little detail about the baby.  Hubby came to the rescue yet again and calmed me down.  Damn you hormones.

I've been getting more than 6 1/2 hours of sleep this week, and I feel really good.  I still wake up every couple hours to turn over or visit the bathroom, but I haven't been groggy at work which is nice.  And this is all without coffee anymore!

Since it's still summer and not too much is going on at work, I was poking around Pinterest and found this really awesome website where they let you "register" for anything you want from ANYWHERE.  Since we have three different places, this site is super handy-all we have to do is tell our baby shower invites the link and they can see what we registered for where, and in addition put anything else we want from any website, store, etc.  It also gives you other sites where things are sold with different prices!  It's called babyli.st, and I spent a good chunk of time condensing our registries.  Babies need so much stuff, and I thought registering for a wedding was a lot of work!

My goal this week is/was to get more exercise and eat better, since I gained a little more weight than I should have.  Monday I hit the elliptical machine during my lunch break, Tuesday we took a nice family walk after dinner and saw two guys ciphering gas out of a big rig into their truck.  At 8:30pm.  Maybe we didn't leave Van Nuys after all.  This led to a discussion on where we should move next...anyway, then today I'm going to try and jog/walk at the gym during my lunch.  I've been eating a lot more fruits and vegetables and only went out once for a co-worker farewell lunch at Toppers Pizza.  But they have a great lunch deal where you get a trip to the salad bar and a mini pizza with two toppings; I think it was a good amount of food.  Although yesterday I went to throw my lunch scraps away outside my office and saw a McDonald's bag poking out, which spurred this overwhelming craving for french fries all day.  I was miserable!  But, I didn't cave in, and came home to cook a yummy steak dinner with twice baked potatoes and broccoli.  Phew!  Crisis averted.  While I was cooking, I turned around and saw this:

It's a little blurry because every time I try to take a photo of these two, they move so I had to act quick.  It was adorable...but of course they were just waiting for me to feed them.

Tomorrow is the hubby and my 11 month anniversary!  Where did the time go?  I really didn't imagine being almost over five months pregnant when our one-year anniversary would come around.  But life is unpredictable, and as hubby put it Monday night we wanted to have a family eventually, but life dealt it to us a little earlier than scheduled (or something like that).  And then my usually pessimistic husband tells me all we can do is stay positive and happy.  That took me by surprise...but also made me relax a lot more.  If he can be calm and happy, I can be calm and happy.  I usually am the positive one!

I'm definitely ready for the weekend...we might take a light hike, but no set plans which is fine with me.  Is it Friday yet?
