Heartbeat

Just a quick update today. We went to the doctor this morning and got to hear our baby's heartbeat. It was great. I could really hear it this time. With Olivia I just heard the whooshing and kept waiting for something that sounded like a heartbeat. And, I have another UTI. I had one last month when we went in for the first time, and didn't have any symptoms then, either. It's kind of scary to me that I can have an infection and not even know, but I'll just know to keep a closer eye on it now. I was starting to have a little back pain this time, so I kind of knew something was up. Another round of the horse pills for this momma. And I see lots of cranberry juice in my future. :)

13 weeks

Well, I had energy for exactly one day and ever since the last time I posted, things have pretty much gone downhill. Luckily, my husband makes sure Olivia at least gets dinner every night, even if I am completely ready to crash by the time he gets home from work. I just can't snap out of it! I am exhausted all the time and not quite sure how I am going to figure out having another one! But I just keep telling myself (and this is completely derogatory...just so that you're warned.) that dumber people have done this. LOL. It's silly, but I feel like I'm a relatively smart person with a brain (when I'm not pregnant) and I will work it out eventually. Hopefully, the second trimester treats me better. And I feel like if I can figure out a way to motivate myself to excercise I will feel better, too. And that motivation will probably go something like this: Jayelle to self: "If you excercise for 30 minutes, you can have a slurpee." So that will be super-productive. :)

I have been having some crazy dreams as of late! It's really quite funny. I had to share this one, because it is just so out there!

So my brother is getting married (in real life). They had some issues when they tried to pick up the dress the other day. I dreamed that I was the one that had to go pick up the dress this time. So, naturally, I wore my wedding dress to go pick it up (?). And it was hideous (Shareese, if you're reading this, which I don't think you are, I'm sure you're dress is gorgeous.)! It was burgundy underneath with a peach-colored overlay of lace and sequins and oh...just awful. LOL.

I also dreamed that I went to the store and bought bologna for Ryan's step-dad. I should start writing these down, because I know there are more good ones to come. :)

Totally unrelated note: I have a job interview next week to work in a group home with autistic adults. I hope it goes well. Because this salon is just not for me. At all. It will be part-time and sounds like it will work well with our family's schedule. Wish me luck!
