This photo is from last week when I was 12 weeks along. I’m finally starting to show.
Day 29 (Week 7)
It’s the beginning of week 7 and the start of month 2. Nothing serious has been going on with me. Luckily my morning sickness has only been small bouts of nausea and dizziness. And only every couple of days. It would be awesome for a nice, smooth pregnancy. But I know it could change at any time.
My nose has been working overtime though. I can small so much more now, it’s nuts. Someone’s lunch smelled like cooked bananas today. Walking down the hall and I could tell someone had an orange. I could even smell the cat box yesterday from a good 20 feet or so away. It was bad.
Other than that, baby is the size of a small blueberry.

Omerica Organic
So I recently found out about Omerica Organic a few weeks back. They are an awesome company that makes wood plugs that are incredibly beautiful. I’m waiting on my order to arrive in the next day or too. All plugs are custom made to order. There are no mass manufacturing or importing. All plugs are made in Denver, CO!!
If you are interested in ordering some, use rep code, pink098, to get 20% off. That’s a pretty good deal!
Here are my Puppy Love double flare plugs.
And pass the word if you have friends with stretched lobes, they will love Omerica Organic!
Day 17 (Week 5)
Don’t be alarmed by the title, thinking you miss 16 days worth of information, Day 17 is how far along I am in my pregnancy that I just learned about this week.
Not much really is going on with me. I still smell poop occasionally while at work. Its a bit distracting but not too bad. I have experienced a little morning sickness yesterday around noon and it only lasted about 2 hours. Thankfully is wasn’t the vomiting kind of morning sickness, just nausea and dizziness.
I did experience a food aversion though. I had a glass of milk with dinner last night and the milk just tasted awful. I’m hoping it was just the milk (even though it wasn’t expired) because I would hate to not be able to have a glass of milk occasionally. Plus, how else do I get my Vitamin D?
Lastly, in class last night, I experienced extreme sleepiness and some wicked hot flashes. It was mad nuts. Other than that though, I don’t have the normal symptoms of tender breasts or frequent urination at night (only during the day). So I’m lucky there.
In other parts of my life, school is going OK. I’m learning anatomy and clinical lab procedures. Let me tell ya, it isn’t the funnest. I think the material is in credibly dry and a lot to remember. You have to think, in the human world, you are only studying one species. In the vet world, there are a ton of different species we need to know about. I actually prefer the pharmacology class I think. I just can’t wait til this sequence is over and I can move on to my last two classes.
I need a break.

New Beginning/Huge Surprises!
So today is the first day of something new. I got up this morning and just out of curiosity, I took a pregnancy test. I had been smelling poop randomly for the pass few days so my brain started thinking.
Anyways, I peed on the stick and then walked away to get the cats some food. When I came back, I really expected to see the “not pregnant”. But the not wasn’t there. I was shocked, in disbelief and totally skeptical of this little stick. I just held it.
I waited for M to get home so I could tell him. But when he showed up I couldn’t even say the word pregnant. I just looked at the stick while he asked me if it was for real and hugged me. I’m so happy.
We told our parents already. I mentioned it to a few friends. But I can’t wait to be able to announce it to everyone I know. I’m super excited and can’t wait to get all the baby stuff, find out the sex, choose names, all that junk.
More info will be coming soon.
Classes and Grades
Last night was my final for Pharmacology and Principles of Anesthesia. I did fairly well and got an 88% on my final. This helped me get a 90% overall in that class. Woot! I passed with a B. I’m glad that’s over. Hopefully, the rest of my classes aren’t nearly as hard. The rest of the week we will be finishing Aseptic Technique and Surgical Assisting and have our final on Thursday. I’m not as stressed about this class but I hope I do well.
Next week I start Veterinary Anatomy and Clinical lab and Pathology. I’m sure that 7 weeks will fly as fast as the last did.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
I got an awesome surprise today, an edible arrangement and tickets to see Cirque du Soleil’s Dralion! I should do I have a winner, I love my boyfriend!
Project 52 - Bridges
I have to say – I was so excited when I found out what this week’s theme for Project 52 was. Bridges! How cool is that? I was thrilled to make a day trip out of exploring my area in search of the perfect bridge. And even more than that – I was incredibly excited to work with the two gorgeous models that I had specifically picked out for this shoot.
I really want a pit, more and more each day. Can't wait til that can finally happen for me.
Kaylee Greer has some awesome doggy photos on her blog. All way too cute for sure!!! Check it out!
5K of Color Running Madness!!
What is the Color Run?
The Color Run is a one of a kind experience that is less about speed and more about enjoying a color crazy day with your friends and family. Our events, are all about people of all different speeds, ages, shapes, and sizes toeing the start line. Whether you are a casual morning mall walker or an Olympic athlete, the 3 miles of the Color Run course will be the most enjoyable real estate you’ve traveled in a VERY long time.
How does it work?
The Color Run pretty much has 2 SIMPLE rules. 1. White shirts (any mostly white T will work great) mandatory at the start line and 2. Color plastered EVERYTHING at the finish! Runner/walkers begin the 5k at the start line like a brand new pristine coloring book, they end looking like they fell into a Willy Wonka… tye died… vat of colored goodness.
I really, really want to do this. It looks like a ton of fun!! This is coming to Colorado May 26th. Check the website for other locations. There are a ton of places this will happen.
Only thing that might keep me from doing this is the fact that I plan to have my mom come and visit during the same weekend. I have until March 1st to figure it out though. That’s when I can pay the cheapest for registration. We will see!!

Hope everybody is looking forward to a relaxing weekend!
I read this blog every time there is a new post. And it's making me want a pittie more and more....ecspecially Snickerdoodle. He is the brown and white pit. He is currently up for adoption but I know I can't have a dog right now. But I know he would make me soo happy. I hope some day in my future I can start fostering dogs. I dream I want to work toward for sure.
