a whole week!

by Blue-Eyed Bride on December 12, 2008

Can you believe an entire week has gone by since I last posted? Does anyone even miss me?

Work has been crazy, I’ve been sick (as usual), and, like many of you, I’ve been overwhelmed with Christmas fun and frenzy.

A quick update on life… I am 14 weeks pregnant today. I’m so happy to be at week 14, but I was seriously hoping that I’d wake up this morning and feel 100% better. It hasn’t happened yet. Maybe at 15 weeks things will get better. I sure hope so because my family is driving all the way from Dallas to be with us for at least a week and I want to feel top notch. If I don’t feel great it’ll be just fine because I can’t think of anyone I’d rather be sick around than my mom. I think every girl on here would agree.

I’m not showing yet. I actually weighed less this morning than I’ve weighed in months– thanks to all the throwing up I’ve been doing, I’m sure. I feel a tightness in my lower belly and I know it’s the little baby in there, but no one knows I’m pregnant just from looking at me. I’m definitely not glowing either. I look like a 15 year old. I weigh what I weighed when I was a teenager and my face looks like it did when I was a teenager. NOTE: All of this whining doesn’t mean that I’m ungrateful for the exciting things that are happening right now. I’m just venting and being honest.

I’m about to finish addressing our Christmas cards that the lovely Nina designed and had printed for us. I’ll post the final card after we mail them out, but this is the little “mock up” version that doesn’t include our real names that Nina so sweetly made for blog purposes only.

Isn’t it adorable? And the real version is even cuter!

You know I miss you!

Hope you start feeling better soon and I so agree…there’s nobody I’d rather be with when I’m sick than with my mom. She always knows just want to do to make me feel better!

Hope you have a great weekend and I love your Christmas card :-)

Mom’s always know just what to do!

Adorable card!!

The card is so darling!

5 Newlywed Next Door December 12, 2008 at 7:01 pm

Great card! I like how you’re on the same side in all of the pics! I realized that I do that in 80% of my photos w/ my Hubby as well.

6 wearingmascara December 12, 2008 at 7:26 pm

Yes you were definitely missed and I’m glad you’re back. The card is lovely and Nina did an excellent job!

7 Abbie December 12, 2008 at 7:26 pm

That’s super cute! I notice you both have a “side”. Jeremy and I seem to do that, too!

8 Preppy 101 December 12, 2008 at 7:34 pm

You will feel better regardless by just having mom there :) And your card is darling. Nina is the BEST!!! She made calling cards for my PD and BDiL – Christmas present from me. Hope you feel better soon!!

9 Julia December 12, 2008 at 7:58 pm

Cute card! And does anyone show at 14 weeks? I wouldn’t know but I’m sure you’ll start looking the part soon, and then pics are a must:)

10 Katrina December 12, 2008 at 8:08 pm

Ah, I so sympathize with you! I am only 8 weeks, but have been sick for about 2 1/2 weeks now. It stinks! I hope it goes away soon for you! Love the Christmas cards!

11 Mackensie December 12, 2008 at 8:24 pm

I missed reading new posts! Your cards look great!

12 Tracy's Porch December 12, 2008 at 9:42 pm

Your card is adorable!

I remember being pregnant with Ashley and waiting for that magical week 14 to feel better but it took a couple weeks longer. Don’t worry: it will come and you will feel really great for awhile!

13 Mrs. Not-so-Domesticated December 12, 2008 at 10:50 pm

congrats! hopefully you feel better soon! Very adoreable card!

14 Angie December 13, 2008 at 1:13 am

15 Practically Perfect... December 13, 2008 at 1:15 am

I remember what you looked like at 15!!!

Your card looks adorable, and I’m glad your back :-) I hope you get over this nausea/throwing-up thing soon!

16 Pink Preppy Party Girl December 13, 2008 at 1:37 am

Remember those nausea days well. Beautiful card. I posted mine too.

17 Ruby Slippers December 13, 2008 at 1:55 am

I noticed you hadn’t been around, definitely! I hope you feel better soon – if I ever decide to get pregnant, nausea is the thing I look forward to least. Blech.

18 Good Gals Inc December 13, 2008 at 4:09 am

Of course you were missed! But I feel you with the “just not enough time” thing. Anyway, I hope you feel better soon. And, of course, your card is adorable!

26 Mrs. Stilettos December 13, 2008 at 7:44 pm

I sure did miss you! I was honestly worried when we hadn’t heard from you this week! BUT, we totally understand that you aren’t feeling top notch lately. We just want you to rest and enjoy what you can of these early pregnancy weeks! I’m sure the yuckiness will pass soon. Your almost half way there!

27 Lauren December 13, 2008 at 8:00 pm

I hope you start to feel better soon!

Hope you feel better soon! Maybe having family around will help!

38 Suzette December 15, 2008 at 4:05 pm

I love the card, very similar to what I came up with for ours, I just don’t have our main pic for it yet! I’m so behind!

I am so sorry you aren’t feeling any better yet! If it’s anything like mine, i just woke up one day and felt 100% better! Congrats on hitting the 14 week mark! I pushed my appt back to the 23rd, I’ll be pushing it to find out, but I still want to give it a shot! :)

39 Suzette December 15, 2008 at 4:08 pm

Oh yeah, I know you aren’t complaining, but it helps me to know that I’m not the only pregnant lady walking around looking like a teenager with my face breaking out like crazy! IF you figure out the trick, please let me know! I am willing to try just about anything on my face!! :)

40 Katie Lake December 15, 2008 at 4:50 pm

Your card is so cute! Sorry you’re not feeling so hot but luckily it is all for a good thing!

41 Molly December 15, 2008 at 5:14 pm

Hope you start to feel better soon! Love your card!

42 Rebecca Jo December 15, 2008 at 5:25 pm

YIPEE for getting to that mark – & hope you feel better soon.

Love your card…you are just beautiful!

43 Krista December 15, 2008 at 6:30 pm

The card is adorable and you two look so cute together!

As a bride-to-be after my fiance recently proposed to me with a gorgeous diamond engagement ring from http://www.idonowidont.com we need a cute card design like yours to announce our engagement!

I may have to contact Nina to make something for us, thanks!

44 Carolina Girl December 15, 2008 at 10:36 pm

oh, and I did miss you!

48 Mrs. Jetplane December 16, 2008 at 10:34 pm

Love the card, hope you feel better soon. I tagged you tonight, check it out. Its a fun, cute tag.

49 Anne December 17, 2008 at 5:29 am

I always love receiving “photo” cards from friends and family at Christmas, but so often there is just one pic that is staged with all wearing various shades of the same color. I LOVE this idea of moments from throughout the year and just letting the card be the Christmasy part. Great design too.

Fun site. Feel better soon!

50 LyndsAU December 17, 2008 at 10:56 am

Fiona was tagged :) Check it out :) So fun!

51 Happy Daily December 17, 2008 at 3:14 pm

I love that card! Congrats again and I hope you feel better soon!

Have a great day!

52 Anne December 19, 2008 at 3:16 pm

Hope you’re feeling better now!!
