Tax Deduction

Well, I am 6 weeks and 4 days today!! I haven't really been sick yet- just the constant nausea feeling all day long. If i had to consider any type of morning sickness, it would mostly been in the evening after dinner. But, boy do i have the case of the moodiness!!! I am tired most of the time, and the slightest things make me cry (or upset)!! I am going to blame it all the pregnancy-Brent doesn't like that too much; but it works just fine for me!

Well, our taxes are done- and have been E-filed!! YEA!!! I know, I am ahead of the game-I have a bit of OCD when it comes to them. We pay someone to do our taxes-when he called me the other day to tell me he was done with them, I told him the money we are getting back is going to go into a college savings fund (I really wish that was true) he was happy for us- When he mailed us all our tax info stuff back, there was a "tax-deduction" onesie in the envelope! I think I have seen them before, but I thought it was really sweet of him to do so. I know, some of you might think that is weird our tax guy did that- but our families grew up together at Church. (I even think my sister went to prom with him at some point)

I wanted to try and post once a week on here, but I am going to go ahead and say, I don't think that is going to happen. I will post when something new comes up- which if i can get through the next several weeks-

Say a prayer for me- that i don't totally lose my mind.

Thanks a million!!!

Love, Ariail

The News Is Public

Well, we all have a big mouth and can't keep a secret for anything. I went to the doctor yesterday and she confirmed what we already knew. I took my mom to the doctor with me only because Brent got on a plan 18 hours hours after he got home from Daytona. I am sure everyone feels the same about this, but I really wanted him there since he was there when this baby was made. Oh well! My mom is a labor and delivery nurse at a local hospital so it makes it easier to have her around; since she knows whats going on and to tell me what to expect!!

I am 5 weeks and 1 day today. And yesterday, when I was getting dressed my "big" jeans were already a bit snug! You know how jeans loosen up during the day~ well, these jeans NEVER loosened up! I wore those things for 15 hours and I had to keep them unbuttoned almost ALL day!! I haven't really felt any sickness issues. I felt some nausea on Monday right after I ate a few club crackers and then when I went to bed that same night. Nothing really sounds good to eat, that's all. However, I am piecing things together from early last week!! Last Monday morning I texted my cousin (who I also work with) and asked her if she wanted Chinese for lunch~ she responded "no, i brought my lunch today. What are you pregnant craving Chinese at 9 in the morning???" Obviously I had NO CLUE!! Then a lady at work came into our office and shut the door~ She smelled to have just ran through the mall and got sprayed by every single perfume lady!! I felt like I was starting to gag and then I thought I was going to projectile vomit all over her!!! I got up and left! But, now, i understand it all!!!

WOW. This is going to be fun and exciting!!

Happy Valentines Day and Happy Birthday!!

Here I go, I guess it is time I start my own blog. I have read and many dreamed of the day I could start my own. And, that day has come~ not only to start my own blog, but to start my own family!!! Yes, you read that right, I said "to start my own family".

I came down to Daytona Beach, FLA with Brent for the Daytona 500 (who wouldn't like a free vacation??) and found out I was pregnant on February 12th. Brent was at the track working and we had already planned on doing dinner that night for Valentines/his birthday. Well, that didn't happen, he didn't finish working until about 9ish so I went to dinner with some other friends~ we both finally got back to the hotel room about 10:15 Thursday evening. I told him I wanted to go ahead and give him his birthday/valentines day cards but he wasn't having it. I told him I couldn't wait so he had to open them now. The first one was just a general card and the 2nd one was the BIG SURPRISE!! He opened it, and read it out loud...."Happy Birthday Dad, from the both of us".. he didn't understand at first and then he looked at me and said "oh um, are you prego???" yes, just like that!! That was it~ we decided not to tell anyone until after I went to the doctor, but those of you who know Brent, he has a BIG mouth!!! Needless to say, Brent and I will be parents, and are due around October 20th, 2009.
