Two new pregnancy syptoms

Well I have two new super annoying symptoms. Greasy hair which I have NEVER had and blurry vision. My vision was so blurry yesterday that it made me sick and gave me a headache. I felt so crappy I took tylenol. Apparently jacked up vision is normal.

Today was Amazing

I called into work today because I was having these horrible dizzy spells. I didn't want to drive much less serve. Jenny was totally cool about it. I figured I would get some rest and relax. While I was sleeping, I would wake up with my heart pounding feeling dizzy. This continued much of the day. I got worried and called the Dr. and they wanted to see me immediately. At this point, I am freaking out thinking something is wrong with the baby.

I go in, they take my pulse, blood pressure and temperature to make sure I don't have a fever or anything. Nothing. My doctor is still worried, so he calls a cardiologist friend of his with the same name (different spelling) and I will be seen next week. That was the soonest they could get me in. Dr. Groff wants to know what is causing my dizzy spells and rapid heart rate. Just as I am freaking out, they tell me they want to do a sonogram to make sure the baby is ok.

They use a camera that was inserted vaginally and checked my ovaries. Then, I saw the most amazing thing EVER. I saw my baby. I saw her heartbeat and even got to hear it. It was so fast. 167 BPM. It really was the most amazing sound I have ever heard. The sonogram tech told me to think of something sour to try and make her move, so I did. She moved! I got to see the umbilical cord. At that moment, it all hit me. I started to cry and Nathan was grinning from ear to ear. We got a picture of the baby. It's her first picture. It finally feels more real.

Despite the fact that I felt like crap all day, getting to see my baby was completely worth it!

What a long Day!

So yesterday was one of the longest days EVER. I opened and closed the restaurant without more than a 5 minute break to eat. Even while I was eating I still kept up with tables. I did 11.5 hours yesterday but I did make a lot of money, which is awesome because with Nathan's truck getting vandalized we need a little bit of extra money. I'm thinking I am going to get a peddi for the foot rub. I didn't want to ask Nathan to rub my feet since he was so tired on waiting for me to get home and tonight he is going to a baseball game with his dad.

Apparently Olive Garden had a water main break and they had to shut down so we got a shit ton of people in last night. It was also wine down wednesday where bottles of wine are half off.

Mother's Day

Today was exhausting! I worked just one shift. I was dying when I got off work. We headed over to my mother in law's place and she grilled for me. Steak is my favorite so she grilled these HUGE steaks for me. We had peas and baked potatoes! Yum! I was super tired and driving home when I decided I should go see my mom. DH insisted he drive the 30 minutes so I could rest. He drove and we visited my grandmother first.

My aunt (Jess) who had just gotten over cancer was there. Jess told me that mom was kind of down that she wasn't gonna get to see me and had been down since she didn't see me everyday anymore. I drove over to mom's. She was hungry so we took her out to eat. She wanted appetizers and desserts. Jess met up with us and we all caught up together. It was really nice. Mom gave me the cutest gift ever! I got a security blanket with a stuffed turtle on it. I love turtles and used to have two. I also got bath oils and a gorgeous bookmark. The security blanket was my favorite thing. My Aunt got me some maternity pants that were super cute and a butterfly wind chime. I love butterflies and it sounds gorgeous.

It was a fun night, but now I am back to being exhausted. Good night!

To Ibis and Krissy

Happy Mother's Day!

Well that was random!

I did two caterings last night and they were a blast. I love doing caterings, because even though they are more professional settings, we are able to let loose so much more. I know that sounds odd, but we are more behind the scenes than anything. Jenny and Sarah were with us at the big one. There were 12 of us and the two managers. I haven't had that much fun in so long. The great thing about it was since I hadn't eaten since like 2 in the afternoon, I got to munch on homemade meatballs, pepperoni bread, fried mozzarella and other yummy finger foods. Oh and the chocolate fountain people brought us plates of chocolate covered food. I had a blast. I'm really Thankful Bourke took me under his wing and taught me how to do this. I absoloutely love it. It's the easiest money to make.

I get home last night from work and take a shower. As soon as I had put my jammies on Nathan called me. He was out at the bar with friends, so I assumed he must have been way too drunk to drive. He tells me someone broke the shifter off on his truck. At this point, I'm thinking he's being stupid or just way too drunk and doesn't see the damn thing. So I head over to the bar and go check out the truck. Not only did they take the shifter completely OFF they took it with them! I was like wtf who does that? My guess is someone got in thinking it was theirs and kept trying to shift and it broke off. Instead of leaving the shifter there they panicked and took it with them. Bunch of drunk people at a bar...this seems plausible to me.

Totally Random

Mixed Bag

I'm still in shock that I am pregnant. I still can't believe it. I am really excited. I am poring over pregnancy books and websites. I am so interested to know what is going on with the little one inside of me.

Some crazy things have happened. The same week I found out I was pregnant, my boss let me go. Our company was going under and they pretty much only kept the geologists and my mother who is the lease administrator. While it did suck, I decided to go back to waiting tables at the old restaruant. I am really liking it. I only work Monday through Friday lunches. It's nice because I work 3-5 hours a day. This is perfect for when the baby is born. It's not being gone all day and we can't afford for me to stay home. I really would love to stay home more than anything. I never thought those words would ever come out of my mouth.

Next weekend is mother's day. This means a 14 hour day no breaks, and because of the baby no caffeine. Normally I slam energy drinks and Frappuccinos like a mofo. I usually have a nap when I come home because I am so exhausted. I can only hope they won't schedule me a double. I'm sure they will but a girl can still hope. I stupidly said I would do a catering on Saturday so I will be working 12 days straight on my feet for 12 days before my next break. I will try and give up one of my shifts or even a couple so that I'm not working so much before my next break.
