April 10th, 2008 + 1 Full Bladder + 1 Ridiculously Priced Pregnancy Test = Holy Crap
___________________________

I actually was quite hesitant to plaster my pregnancy test over the internet since it really is just a glorified pee collector but I didn’t have any other picture to go with this post. So, as always, when in doubt…add a cute happy face in hopes that it will distract the readers from the whole “urine-ness” of the picture.

Did it work? Nah, I didn’t think so.

So, yeah, I’m officially 3.5 months pregnant. Crazy, fun and scary all at the same time. The Little One is suppose to arrive somewhere between late this or early next year.

Didn’t really get any morning sickness, maybe a little afternoon queasiness but nothing to really complain about. The worst part has been this nasty aftertaste in my mouth I get after eating. Blech. I would have taken stock out in Orbit’s Maui Melon Mint if I would have known!

Oh and thank goodness the extreme tiredness has let up a bit.There were a few times when I seriously thought I was going to fall asleep at my sewing machine. Narcolepsy and sharp needles moving extremely fast…not a good combination. How do women get anything done during the first trimester?! I admire those of you who do this plus have other kiddos to take care of!

So…Yay, I’m finally able to explain to you guys why I’ve been so scatterbrained lately! If you were waiting on an email or trade from me and I suddenly went MIA…please email me again! I feel like I’m all over the place lately.

I’m nasty sick right now. Seriously, the kind of sick that wakes you in the middle of the night with a coughing attack so intense that you swear you will die of suffocation. One of the attacks was so bad it triggered my gag reflex and made me throw up…nasty, I tell you.

Obviously I’m getting minimal work done, thank goodness I was ahead on orders and had already finished designing the invites for a baby shower I’m throwing in a couple of weeks.

I’m sure the “Special Delivery” play on words has been used for a shower before but I swear I didn’t steal it from anywhere! I actually had a dream where I made the invites look like a shipping notice and when I woke up, realized that it would be perfect.

Hope people understand that they’re invitations and not shipping notices!

Couldn’t sleep so I woke up at 5:00 and made Vegan Chocolate Oatmeal cookies (recipe). Forget the fact that I haven’t packed and the flight to Phoenix leaves at 12:30. At least I’ll have something to munch on during the plane trip!

And since we’re talking about things we’d like to munch on…I’m going to be snuggling soon with my favorite Yorkie, Marley! Who just so happens to be the perfect doggie representation of my cookies from this morning…crazy how that worked out!

Can you take the sweetness?!

Does it feel like Summer in your neck of the woods? It’s freakin’ hot over here!!! The dogs don’t seem to mind as long as they have grass to roll around in.

Here are a few other things that are making it feel like Summer…

- Healthy Popsicle recipes
- Vegan Gazpacho
- Summer Dresses
- Pandas

Ok, that last one had nothing to do with Summer but I thought it would make you smile! And if you didn’t watch it…go back…watch it. Consider it your daily moment of Zen.
