It's been a while.....

So being new to this blogging thing and having a 2 year old, I am pretty bad at keeping up to date. So, be prepared for a long post. Jimmy died. Those of you who didn't know him, it's a shame. Those of you who did, you know how traumatizing it was for me. He was my dad. Not literally, but he was the man in my life. He was the one I went to when I wanted something mom wouldn't give to me. He would do anything for me, no matter what. He was a pain in the butt sometimes, but that's just who he was. He was Jimmy. It was shocking and awful, and even writing about it now brings tears to my eyes. I was looking at pictures today and I came across some of Jimmy and Mariah. Besides josh, he was the only one who came to see me in the hospital EVERY DAY. He loved Mariah as she was his own granddaughter, and I am so sad that he will never meet this next one.
Moving on.... I haven't had anymore "health issues" lately. I am going to the doctor's on Wednesday for a check on my veins. Hopefully all will be well. (knock on wood) Maybe I'll get lucky and they'll check on the little one as well... maybe hear a heartbeat!!! Here's hoping. I am about 8 weeks along now, so it is possible.
I got my first flu shot ever.... I am almost 30 and have never had a flu shot. When I talked to my doctor and told him I was pregnant he practically begged me to let him give it to me. I had told him no a few weeks ago, not knowing I was pregnant and thinking I should let him save the shots for those who really need them. I guess I fall into that category now.
It's funny because lately I have heard nothing more than, "you should have another baby," "when is the next one coming," etc. It will be pretty funny when this all comes out, for Josh and I at least.
Even funnier still to me is the fact that people keep commenting on me losing weight. While I appreciate the compliments, I am finding it hard to believe anymore. I have been eating like crazy lately, pretty much anything I want. There are 2 reasons for this: one, eventually I am going to have to eat the diabetic diet again and figure I should enjoy the carbs while I can. (I got the ok from the doc before I started doing this.) Two, my morning sickness, or "all day sickness" I should say, only seems to be curbed with "plain things". Ex. bread, pasta, potatoes, and while not so plain, fruit and juice. All of these are pretty much no nos on the diabetic diet. Since baby isn't getting much from me now it's ok to indulge, but probably not for long.
Ok, well, I guess that is all for now. Hopefully I'll keep up better, but I am not making any promises. Let's face it.... I am a lazy procrastinator :)
