Pregnant Anna

Since I've become pregnant, the Old Man thinks things have shifted from Annaland to "Pregnant Anna". Really, it's just Annaland much more particular and extravagant (who'd have thought).

So far, the Old Man and I have discovered a few things that Pregnant Anna either likes/hates/or is obsessed with that I really just felt the need to write about ... The first being how I think I sound just like Jordin Sparks when I sing along her new super fabulous song "No Air" at the top of my lungs even though I completely don't. OK, really that has nothing to do with pregnancy, but can I blame that on Pregnant Anna?

A few others to date -

I crave milk, Taco Bell, Oreo's, chocolate milk shakes, carrots, garlic everything, and cereal like there is about to be this giant shortage of all of it so if I don't get heapings and heapings RIGHT AWAY I am going to die! That's normal, right?

Actually, any food, every two hours is absolutely necessary or I'm seriously likely to eat my own arm!

I hate chicken. All of it. Funny thing is, my sister did when she was pregnant too.

I find it perfectly OK to bring in a loaf of cinnamon raisin bread and cream cheese to make sandwiches at my desk.

Starburst, marinara sauce and spaghetti equal horrible bloating and heartburn that is unlike any pain I've ever felt in my life. I suppose I won't be able to say that for long.

Yes, I have "pregnant brain."

(This is turning into a Thursday Thirteen list! Oh how I missed blogging!)

I don't fit anything! Most of my pants are on redneck style, unbuttoned and airing me out! I'm going to have to invest in more work pants STAT.

I get frazzled much less easy. In fact, I actually get a little more irritated than I should when others sweat the small stuff knowing I'm about to become a mother - the best, most happy, rewarding, loving and stressful thing in the world!

I don't leave the house without my bright pink, huge sippie cup with a straw. You'd think that working in a military environment would make this unacceptable, but I've been told my cup is quite impressive!

I have been a baking and cooking machine! The coolest thing so far is an amazing Boston Creme Pie. All from scratch!

I hate, hate, hate the word prego and I have nightmares about being one of those half-shirt wearing pregnant women with my hair all frazzled and no shoes. Or wait, am I dreaming that I'm Brittney Spears?

And I look at my husband a little differently now. I LOVE how excited he is and how he has always wanted kids so it's like a new light shines on him!

Yay baby!!!!!
