The Hiatus is Over

Or at least it's over for now. I feel really bad that I suck at this whole blog thing, but it's just the way that I am; I'm excited about something for a couple weeks, lose interest for awhile, but then always return to it. So here I am. Pretty sure that my last post was about 9 months ago, which is kind of funny... in a way... you'll understand soon, I'm sure, if you don't already.

Anyways, the main reason I decided to get my blog going again was because I will actually have stuff to post about. Up until now, my life has been the same. Every day. Nothing changes, and it's fairly boring. Trust me. Not that I'm dissatisfied with my life, quite the opposite. I'm a fan of easy-going boringness. It's the way I am. This brings us back to the reason for me posting here.

I think most of you probably don't check my blog anymore, and I don't blame you, I don't check it anymore either. But for those of you that have stumbled across this post, CONGRATULATIONS, you get to hear our exciting news before most of the rest of the world!

Come next summer (towards the end of May or early June), I'm going to be a mommy!!!!

Yes, we're excited (super excited actually). No, we technically weren't 'planning' this pregnancy, but we weren't surprised by it either (I've been off birth control since January and we haven't really been trying to not get pregnant).

Now, before you head off to facebook to post something on my wall... DON'T! Please.

It's not that I don't want people to really know yet, but I don't. Does that make sense? I haven't been to a doctor yet (won't until November either, which is weird to me, but that's when they said I could come see them), and while I'm not concerned that I'll lose the baby or anything, I'd just assume wait till we have our first ultrasound to officially tell the facebook world. So why post anything here then? Simple. I'm horrible at keeping secrets (generally... usually only when they deal with me). I had to tell someone/thing. And since I'm fairly confident that not too many people will see this, I'm ok with spilling the beans. So, if you do read this and feel the urge to reply, by all means do, just not on my facebook wall. :P

That all being said, this whole pregnancy thing has been mildly 'uncomfortable' thus far. That's not even really a good way to describe it. I just feel kind of blah most of the time. Nothing, and I mean nothing, sounds good to eat, but I'm very rarely actually nauseous (only thrown up once so far). I'm exhausted all the time. Before I would say that I was tired most days when I got to the afternoon, took the occasional nap, you know, like a normal person. But now, I'm ridiculously tired by the time 10 or 11 roll around, and if I don't take some sort of nap during the day, I struggle to stay awake past 8ish. This is the most annoying thing for me so far. I hate feeling tired. Oh, also, my boobs hurt like crazy! That's second most annoying, because it hurts to hug Tucker, which makes me laugh and cringe all at the same time. I mean, it's funny, let's face it.

But yeah, there you have it. For those of you that are reading this, consider yourself special; you know something only a select few know right now. I'd appreciate it if you kept it to yourself too. But I mean, since I'm bad at keeping secrets, I can't really be mad if one of you guys is too, just don't tell anyone that we both know that might be offended if they don't find out directly from me. Yeah.

Well, it's good to be back (we'll see how well I keep up with this) and I love you all!

Congrats Lauren! I am so excited for you! Your blog has been sitting on my Google Reader waiting for some exciting news. You're going to be a great mommy!

CONGRATULATIONS Lauren!!! I'm so happy for you and Tucker! I've been wanting to say congrats on facebook after Tucker told Jared the news, but I thought you might be waiting to announce it to the world. :) But YAY we are so excited for you guys! I'm sorry you're feeling so lame all the time. :( It'll pass soon enough! About how many weeks are you now?

Cathryn said...

HOORAY!!! Congrats, you guys!!! Yay!! I'm so excited for you!! I'm sorry you've been feeling yucky...everyone told me I'd feel better by 13 or 14 weeks, but it took until about week 17 for me to feel human again. You're not crazy to feel exhausted for "no reason," I promise! Good luck! When I couldn't get anything else down, ice cream ended up being dinner for me more than once. :) Yay yay yay!! I'm so happy for you!! You'll have to let us know when (if?) you guys know if you're having a boy or a girl! (Isn't that wait to go to the doctor the worst? They didn't want to see me until 11 weeks. Lame.)

Hooray! I'm telling everyone in the world. Probably through a facebook note.
J/k ;)
I'm glad you blogged. I want to see you at Christmas.

Congratulations! That's super exciting news. That's lame that the doctor won't see you until November. I guess if you're not having problems though, they'll want to wait until you're further along so that they can hear the heartbeat on your first visit. Also, I can totally sympathize on the whole boobs hurting thing. Hilarious, and yet not so fun to experience. Best wishes with the pregnancy! Tell Tucker hi and congrats for us.

Best of luck to you throughout your pregnancy! Can't wait for more updates and news!
