Changes over the next 9 months....

So Chloe's Pregnant! And while most husbands gain weight alongside their wives, I already enjoyed the past few years putting on more than just a few pounds...

Which is why I've made it my personal goal to match Chloe pound for pound in a weight gain/loss contest. That's right, for every pound Chloe gains, I'm going to lose a pound. Now I know this won't be an easy task, but then again neither is childbirth, so I think we're even now. I've got myself prepared with a healthy diet and a new gym membership which so far I have surpassed my goal of attending 4 days a week. Don't get to thinking I'm going to restrict Chloe from eating just to make it easier on myself, no, I'm fully suportive of a healthy pregnancy and a fat baby, I'm also fully prepared to see myself 30 lbs lighter...

When we first found out Chloe was pregnant she weighed in at a whopping 108 lbs! I barely tipped the scales with my petite (post-Christmas) 172 lbs... So far she's gained 1 pound and I've lost 3 (which puts me in the lead for anyone placing bets).

Wish me luck! I'm sure gonna need it...

Blah!

I think I am starting to feel the morning sickness part of being pregnant. For the past couple days when I wake up I feel nauseous until I eat something which is hard because nothing sounds good! And it lasts ALL day! I have to force myself to eat so I don't feel more sick! I have a feeling Josh is going to be eating a lot of frozen meals over the next few months if what I would normally make us for dinner doesn't sound good to me! Oh well. I also have to motivate myself to go the gym! All I want to do after work is sleep, which is what I did today. So hard to go out in all this rain! But good thing I have Josh, he gets me to the gym. Oh the joys of being pregnant, I'm sure there are more the come!

Lentil bean

I can't hold it in any longer... I'm pregnant!!!! I know most people wait till after the first trimester when it's "safe", but I'm just so excited! We found out January 4th. Three dollar tree tests and one clear blue digital test later we were finally convinced! They were all positive!


I'm only 6 weeks along, so we hope & pray everything goes well and stays healthy! Right now the baby is the size of a lentil bean. My due date is September, 13th. We can't wait!

Christmas

I know I'm a little late on my Christmas blog, I've been pretty lazy. Every time I think about it I just want to sit! Anyways, our Christmas was great!! We went to Chico of course and really didn't do much but hangout with our families, lots of back and forth! Here's Christmas morning: us just waking up, then opening presents with the nieces. (We had to help Kendra)

Later in the week, Josh went to snow with his family while I met up with some girlfriends from high school. He of course took Shasta, and he said she loved it! A boy and his dog:
