Not a Gambler

Corey bought a new game for our PS2 called High Roller's Casino. I bought a new game called Final Fantasy X, figured it was appropriate after I played Final Fantasy X-2 already. My game doesn't work, so instead of watching TV, I thought I'd try Corey'S game out. I've officially decided ... I'mnot a gambler. There are all sorts of games, including slots in this game and I ... suck at them lol. Seriously ... I finally won a game of Omaha Poker and I'm still not sure how I did it. Either way, I didn't play very long. I went to my computer and started fiddling around, then into the soon to be new office where I tidied up a bit more and contemplated my next job (stripping the wallpaper) anyone wanna help???

The baby bump

I love my baby bump. It's gotten quite hard now and the baby's movements are easier to see. Corey and I have compared the baby movements to fishing or when jigging for Walleye. Sometimes you get a little nibble, and every once in a while you get a big BITE! And that's EXACTLY what it feels like :-D I know that's a weird way to describe it, but it fits.

Apart from baby news, I'm a sucker for my puppies. Odie is SUCH a baby with his big brown eyes and shivering. He only shivers when you're watching though. I let them in last night and he and Maggie just vegged out, sprawled in various parts of the house. They are pretty pampered pooches. Winter is harder on them this year. Maggie is getting arthritis in her hip and Odie is living through his first winter. Although they love it outside, they don't really care for the cold. Molly and Miloh pretty much just do what they want. Miloh owns the quansit and keeps the mice out, so we keep him with cat food and a warm place to sleep. Molly goes to the bathroom outside and sleeps inside. She doesn't have anything to chase in the house because she's already eaten all the mice there lol.

In other news, Corey is rarely around. It's hunting season in case you didn't know and I will soon be making fun of ... er ... posting some of his ... prey .... on the blog site. :-D

16 weeks and moving!

Well, JellyBean is already starting to assert it's babyself inside me. Especially when I toss and turn in bed. Although I can't distinguish, foot/arm/head/ or any body part at all, it's a startling feeling when you're laying there and you think you have an alien trying to crawl out of your stomach. And ... it's only going to get better!! :-D. We heard JellyBean's heartbeat on monday again, a good 160 beats per minute and I even gained 4 lbs!! We are looking for about 30 lbs so that after the baby I can try and stay around 110 ish. I'm only 99 1/2 now because I'm very physically active and I have a high metabolism. Healthy as a horse though!! I don't think I'll have a big baby, but WHO knows. I'm hoping (crossing fingers) for a 6lbs 10 ounces baby. Something smaller for the first one lol.

Corey doesn't like it when I eat out, so know I'm eating stuff from our school cantines, subs, salads and fruit. I have been craving cold milk .... mmmmmmm. I had my first craving last night. I wanted fish and ceasar salad! too funny, but fish is very healthy and I'm not sure I get any of it's nutrients in my prenatal vitamin, so I will double check.

Love Corinne and JellyBean!!

14 weeks

I do have a picture of my growing belly, but my computer and I are not speaking to each other right now. I will post the picture later. :-) As for everything else ... first of all, for those of you who didn't suffer from morning sickness or barely had any ... BOOO to you! Although, despite the nausea I am still very happy. Corey is too and is getting very used to me suddenly getting up and bolting to the bathroom. He doesn't even blink anymore and he stopped following me a while back lol ;-). Yeah for Diclectin, which allows me to function at work.

we saw an ultrasound of the baby on the 26th to make sure things were still good and Corey got to see our little baby having hiccups. JellyBean's hiccups make me nauseous .... there isn't much that JellyBean can do that WON'T make me nauseous. I sleep at least 12 hours a day if not more. If I don't have a nap I am super grumpy. And if I don't eat every hour ... I get dizzy and nauseous. YEAH for food!

The only cravings has been popsicles and fudgesickles (due to my morning/day/night sickness) I need to drink a lot of water during the day, which in turn sends me to the bathroom at least once an hour ... sometimes more if I drink juice.

I've now run out of pants to comfortably fit me, but am too stubborn to go and buy new ones ... anyone have some I can borrow? I have a pair of overalls from Mimi, THANKS! I wear them a lot already lol.

I will post the picture up soon!!
