Frustrations...

(*&(%)*^Q#)^)!^&@#%&)$^_(&@_#&%)*@^#%^!%)@&^%

Ok.... now that I've said that.... I am having issues with 2 things...
1. Blogger took like 5 DAYS to get my blog updated... my posts weren't showing, it's loading freakishly slow... and all my friends and stuff that is normally on the right side of the page is down at the bottom of my most recent posts instead of at the top. If it looks normal to you guys, let me know so that I know I am just freaking out.

2. My husbands car... he owns a 1986 Nissan 300zx. Beautiful little sports car. (For those of you who don't know, we also have a dodge durango....) Damn thing broke... we think it's the fuel pump... wanna know how much THAT little piece of tin is gonna cost? *%(*@#$@ $250! (OR MORE!) and that doesn't include labor. I have a friend that may be able to put it in for us... but DAMN. I have to buy this thing... and we are short on money anyway with needing baby furniture and trying to find a bigger home. It sucks. I need a million dollars.... can anyone float me a loan?! lol

ok... sorry about that... I feel better now. Quick update.... we got to see the baby on ultrasound last wednesday... and we could see it's little heart beat and everything! It was awesome!

Kung-Fu Cubs

Ok... found this picture, and I thought it was the CUTEST THING EVER! It really made me homesick.... these are Alaskan Grizzly Bear cubs. There were 3 total, but the other cub and mom were not in this picture. These two cubs played for like 3 hours non stop. This picture just caught my eye... they look like two kung-fu guys from the movies!



I also found a photo of the new Anchorage Airport. It looks like an Art gallery inside! It's is beautiful and I had to share it!

The things I am given up.... (and am putting up with!)

Ok... so being pregnant has it quirks and perks... but it also SUCKS in many ways. I have had to change a lot about my diet and what I eat and drink. To start with.... my biggest vice:


When you are pregnant, you are supposed to limit your caffeine intake. Well... I decided for my benifit (and the baby's as well) to give it up all together. So Coffee is out... (Decaf is NOT an option... don't even meantion it!) I have also give up something that everyone in america needs to drop like a bad habit:



I have done it... no more soda! Instead, I am trying to eat more healthy, and drink lots more of the natural stuff...



But.... one of teh wierd quirks.... I can't eat a few veggies that used to be my love in life. I have this wierd aversion to textures of some foods.... mainly this one:



Not sure what it is that makes me want to choke on this stuff.... but I can't stomach it. I am enjoying certain foods that I never liked before... Like Avacados... (um.... guacamole!) But my stomach has done flips at some wierd things that I used to love.... oh well. No real morning sickness yet... just aversions to anything in the morning. No complaints so far.... maybe I will eat healtheir after the baby too this way!

New stuff this week...

Ok... there isn't much new to tell. I am tired ALL THE TIME. I haven't played WoW in almost a month, and I gained my first 2 pounds. *cries* lol... I am getting an award this week (Wednesday to be exact) and I am driving myself and my husband nuts about getting the house clean and organized (I am told this is called "Nesting"). Other than that.... nothing new. Hope your lives are more interesting than mine! LOL
Here is the pic of what my baby should look like this week (I am right about 6.5 weeks so I am doing a 6week and a 7week picture...):


6 Weeks..... Now has lenses in his eyes, nostrils and intestines!



7 Weeks.... Not it has elbows and fingers and toes! He is also getting ears and teeth (under his gums of course!)

Ok.... now that I have bored you with baby stuff..... I gotta go.

BIG NEWS!!!!!

Well... let's see... where to start. My life has been a big cluster of OMG's the last week. To start off with... I found out on Friday that I am pregnant... so that was my big WOW for the week. I have to admit that the timing wasn't great... but it doesn't always happen when you want it to. I am due the begining of January... and by dates, this is what my baby should look like about now:

Doesn't look like much yet.... but I am only about 5 weeks pregnant. It is kinda hard to believe that something that tiny is growing inside of me... (it's only about 1/2 an inch long!) Well.... It will get bigger.... :)

My other big news this week is that I FINALLY did my E-5 Promotion boad yesterday!!!!
::Jumps for joy::
I PASSED!!!! I rock! lol. IO have 60 days until my points take effect, and then as long as the cut off scores are low enough, I will be promoted to Sergeant! So it has been a very busy... and very tiring week. I can't wait to get off work and go home to sleep! :)
