Pregnancy WINS:
- Exercising a little the past two weeks
- This great Arkansas "cold front" that has brought the temperature down to 80s and 90s at night these days
- Tackling a DIY project of painting my grandmother's old dollhouse for Ruby's room
- No more back pain
- Feeling alot of strong and consistent kicks come from Ruby lately
- Levi is back in town after being gone for the past 10 days
- Making it to work and getting things accomplished on time (this was a challenge when all I did was throw up)
- Still being able to wear my wedding ring
- Blood pressure remaining low
- Meeting my baby in only 11 weeks! :)
Pregnancy FAILS:
- Experiencing a new surge of nausea and reflux that I thought I bid farewell to at 20 weeks
- Eating fast food for the past 6 lunches
- Loving Diet Coke more each day
- Left ribs that burn/ache about 80% of the day every day for the past 5 weeks
- Pelvic pain always
- More cellulite every time I look in the mirror (I have just stopped looking lately).
- The DIY dollhouse looking a little crappy. I am telling myself that it is a child's toy and not a design project.
At the end of the day, though, I can't be more thankful for the fact that for the most part, I am healthy and God has given me everything I need and much more to physically, emotionally, and spiritually take on the new journey of parenthood....not to mention a fantastic husband!

Hahahaha to eating fast food for the past 5 lunches and loving diet coke more each day. NO SHAME, it is the FUEL that has partially helped you accomplished some of your pregnancy wins! I stopped looking in the mirror early on, I would recommend you also not look too hard for a while after Ruby comes. I made that mistake after I had Evelyn. I can't wait to see the dollhouse. I know it looks one hundred times better than it did before hand (when it was sprinkled with my name and initials "carved" throughout). =) You do have much, much to be thankful for INCLUDING all you need to be exactly who Ruby needs her mommy to be.
When building a human being, I find a little (or a lot of) fast food, chocolate and/or pop extremely helpful.
And if you find someone else who has built a human being who didn't eat those things, kick her in the shins for me. (c;
Hope you're able to get some rest and are feeling a bit better. Love you guys gobs!
