It's in the Water

Baaaa dump.

 Baaaaa dump.

 Baa dump.
Baa dump.
Baa dump.

 Bump Bump Bump Bump Bump Bump! 
Something was in the water. Now it's in my belly. At least, that's how everyone says it happens. Right now it's about the size of a raspberry and has webbed feet. ;)
Yes, ladies and gentlemen...the moment you've all been waiting for (some for over 6 years)...announced on the eve of the 2015 new year...premiering in August 2015...........Jeff, Amy, and Bump!.....Baby Bump that is.

That's sort of strange for me to think about. I never really expected to have kids. Truthfully, didn't want them up until a deep change of heart in 2013/2014. Those were Creator's molding times in my life and in my faith. Regardless, Jeff and I had decided to wait until the five year mark (at the earliest) to even consider the parenting life. 

So here we are now. Er, me most specifically doing the busy work - but with Jeff by my side as excited as a hubby should be. He's very cute in his impatience to get to my first doctor's appointment. Which by the time you read this will have already occurred. I am currently 8 weeks pregnant. I'm not sick. I don't look any different yet. But I sure do have to pee every 5 minutes. I eat more but I'm not adopting this whole "eat for two" idea. Pregnant people only need about 300 more calories than they normally eat. Oddly enough I quite enjoy fruits and veggies over sweets these days. If you know me well, that should be very surprising. However, my appetite is often squelched by my heightened sense of smell. Particularly when Jeff is being a stinker while I'm nearby. He says it's my super power because I can smell even the most minuscule of his farts. Joy....

I suppose that's all for now. I will end this with a couple points for the future:

1. I, personally, will do my best to ask for help or advice if/when needed or wanted.

2. I vow not to become the person who over communicates in any way about our child's pooping frequency when the time of diapers is upon us. 

Thank you in advance for all of your support! HAPPY NEW YEAR, BABY!....

We Need a Vacation from Our Vacation!

Image
This past week we visited our home state of Florida. I'll try not to bore you with a huge recap of everything we did. But I will say it was both a fun and exhausting trip. Basically, anytime we visit Florida it's never a "vacation" in the true sense of the word. Setting my alarm every morning doesn't exactly ring "you're on vacation!" to me. But we had places to be and people to see and commitments to attend. We flew in to Orlando as usual and my mom picked us up. We headed straight to Panera Bread (oh the broccoli-cheddar soup was delcious..) before she dropped us off at Casey and Kendra's house where we would stay for the week. Upon arriving to their house, we were greeted by Casey who was holding Avery. Normally it's all hugs and hellos. This time it was some version of the following: Casey: (opens door) "Hey guys!" Amy: "Hi Casey!" (no hug, immediately enters house) Casey and Jeff: (Still standing at the door wh...

My hover craft is full of eels!

My day has turned out to be rather productive. I have spent most of my afternoon learning Korean words and phrases in preparation for my visit to South Korea this summer. Youtube has become quite the educational resource when learning a second language! I started with the most practical, of course.  "Hello" (ann-yeong) or (ann-yeong-haseyo)        INFORMAL                                      FORMAL and "Welcome" (hwan-yeong) My plan is to use this language as often as possible without being too obnoxious, in effort to learn it quickly and efficiently. For example, when Jeff comes home, I will greet him with "annyeong!" and a hug. I will also be sure to "hwanyeong" him when he enters the room, gets in the car...visits me at work...walks into any given establishment.....emerges from the bathroom..........(It's...

Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not?

Image
I realize it's Monday - two days past our anniversary - but I'm still feeling rather remnicent! I'll try to refrain from telling our life's story, but I'm not sure many get to experience life together so soon like Jeff and I have. Jeff and I met mid-way through my high school years. Though there is a 3 and a half year difference between us, we became friends quickly and soon we were inseprable. After all, we met through mutual friends at church anyway so everyone spent a lot of time together! Good memories... Fastforward 9 and a half years and here were are - married for 6 of them - and wondering where the time went! Isn't that always the way of it? I came across this song by Thompson Square a few months after we were married and had to laugh because it completely fits us. I mean, how long could Jeff keep a girl like me waiting before I evetually put him on the spot by asking, "Are you gonna kiss me or not?" lol. And when I say this song completely ...
