It's July & I'm Pregnant

Sheesh. The last time I blogged it was April and I wanted to know where that month went! Now we are heading into the end of July and it almost makes my head spin.

Instead of doing a long, drawn out, boring post about everything going on in my life... we will just give the bullet points.

Since my last post:


I got a tattoo and I adore it

Andrew and I celebrated FIVE wonderful years of marriage
Face Swap!

Carson had is 18 month check up and is perfect and healthy in every way

Grandma moved to Springfield, right up the street from me

We saved a stray kitten who was mangled, starving, and needed many surgeries. We named her Clarabelle but I call her Little Miss.... or crazy bitch
She's all better now! Etheridge Animal Hospital in Taylorville is the best.

I have been working as an online shopper for Hy Vee and I enjoy it (most days)

Still loving and selling Jamberry. (Check out my site here!)

I reached 50 pounds lost on my weight loss journey

Andrew and I have been kicking ass with our Dave Ramsey plan and budgeting

Hmm.... feels like I'm forgetting something. Oh yeah! THIS!

We are so happy that Baby Cowan #2 will be joining us in February of next year! I am currently 8 weeks pregnant and feeling wonderful as every woman does during the first trimester shitty as can be. I have not thrown up nearly as much as I did with Carson, however, I still have thrown up and I am incredibly nauseous starting around 4pm every.single.day. It's super awesome. Andrew loves that dinner is no longer existent in this house. I just can't fathom eating or cooking anything. 

Pregnancy Week 8: 

Feeling: Nauseous, exhausted, crabby as fuck (just ask my family)

Cravings: Any carb I can get my hands on, chocolate milk, salad with Olive Garden dressing. Really, it HAS to be Olive Garden's Italian dressing

Aversions: Any and all meat, eggs, most fruits and veggies (sad face)

Belly/Weight Update: Definitely popped out WAY sooner with this nugget. I was a lower starting weight than I was with Carson and I still haven't gained anything. 

Feeling Boy or Girl?: No idea. Everyone around me keeps saying girl. I, however, don't have a strong feeling with this one at all yet. I keep telling everyone since they are hoping it's a girl that it will be another boy and I am TOTALLY ok with that. :)
