12.11

It's hard to believe I hosted a cookie social a year ago (especially after having some minor toe surgery and needing to elevate for hours and not getting that full amount of time.

Not only did Ella get out of her stroller to pet Ruby but another dog was on a walk and she got to pet that one too!

Ella discovered hanging on the front door.

Ella likes sunglasses. Too bad she likes them upside down better.

We went to the park even though we did not have enough time for it. Then Ella wouldn't leave. She had a lot of fun.

Ella was all wet from jumping in puddles.

We went to 2 different cookie socials. We didn't have enough time for a proper lunch and I didn't have enough time to change my clothes. They had a photo booth at the 2nd cookie exchange. I took hundreds of pictures but for some reason most didn't autobackup so you get this one.

No nap Ella was pretty tired by the end of the day. We didn't even attempt a nap.

This little bugger is always climbing up on the toilets.

She also likes soap far too much.

Uh Oh

Oh Boy

A frozen dinner with a ton of broccoli added. then I ate some and added even more broccoli.

We went to preschool. I was in charge of the outdoor project. It was easel painting and there were only 2 easels. Ella wanted to paint the entire time. Also she would flip out when I wasn't giving her all my attention. I got booted from being in charge.

Everything went smoother when I was no longer in charge.

Ella painted a candle holder as a Christmas gift.

Ella, Laura, and Arabella are always the ones to try to sit on Teacher Mindy's lap during music time.

I made pizzelles for two different cookie exchanges.

I also made peanut butter fudge.

4 Weeks (December)

I got a positive home pregnancy test at 4 weeks and 1 day but it was a faint line. Man I just looked and it's 4 weeks not 4 weeks and 1 day. This is why going by memory isn't good. Glad I write things down. And by write things down I mean use an app on my phone.

I'm surprised and not at the same time.

I took the pregnancy test. I thought there was no line so went about my business. Went to throw it away a minute later and saw a faint line. I went in and turned on Dave's light and said "There is a faint line here." He said, "OMG. You're pregnant!" And then Ella cried. (His tone wasn't fully excited; it was shock and surprise so the tone might have been why Ella cried.)

At 4 weeks and 1 day I took another test and it was another faint line.

At 4 weeks and 2 days I took another test and it was a more distinct line.

How many weeks: 4

Size of baby: Poppy Seed

Total Weight Gain/Loss: up .2 lb I barely weigh myself anymore but I happened to have an appropriate weight to go off of. In the past 4 weeks I have been up about 2.5 lbs higher and just so happens the 2 weights in question here are my 2 lowest.

Maternity Clothes: Definitely not yet

Gender: Not yet

Movement: Not yet

Sleep: I have barely been sleeping because I've been sick. I cough and cough and have issues fall asleep.

What I miss: Nothing yet.

Cravings: Nothing yet.

Aversions: Nothing yet.

Symptoms: Nothing yet.

Best moment this week: The positive pregnancy test

Looking forward to: Actually telling people.

Exercise: The same as I had been doing which for the past month has been very bad. I've been sick twice in the past month and only got to exercise for about a week in the middle and I wasn't even fully recovered in there. It's the worst month I've had in probably 22 months.

Same this time: Most of everything?

Different from last time: Last time I was lightheaded a lot and cutting runs/workouts short. This time I've been sick so I haven't been able to even starting running. So maybe I would get lightheaded. I don't know.

This is the first of my weekly posts. I wrote these as the weeks happened but didn't post them until I was further along.
