It hit me.
It finally hit me.
I'm going to be a mom.
Now, don't get me wrong. I have been excited since day one, but it never really hit me. Like really really hit me. (Might have something to do with not being to the doctor yet.)
Today, my mom and I went to a friends garage sale and bought a stroller (Eddie Bauer brand for $10...amazing) and the CUTEST little elephant rocker (Also $10...aaand she paid $100 for it 13 years ago and it looks almost brand new...and it's been through three kids...amazing). I am so super pumped about garage sales. Anyway...
I'm pushing the stroller to the car and it HIT me. In a few short months, I'll be pushing a baby in this stroller. My baby. Like...a little human. Half Matt, half me.
A frickin baby.
And I got a little choked up.
A BABY! A little human...a little bit Matt and a little bit me.
Simply amazing...
*I apologize for all the baby posts, buuut let's be serious...what else am I supposed to think about! So deal with it. :)

A whole bunch of random stuff
This post is going to be super random. So if you get through all of this post and can actually follow it I'll give you 1000 awesome points.
Random #1: I'm feeling better about the whole 'not going to the doctor' thing. Plenty of moms have told me that nothing exciting happens during the first trimester (you know except the whole listeningtotheheartbeatthing).
I still would love to know that everything is progressing the way it should but I'm trusting in God!
Random #2: Walter is FINALLY starting to shape up. He still has his mishaps. Would you like an example? Well lets just say we have gone through every set of sheets that we have and are currently using a flat sheet laid across the bed and two crocheted blankets as a 'comforter'. We thought since he was getting better we could trust to leave the bedroom door open (while we're home...) and allow Walter to sleep in there. Yeah....awesome idea. But for the first time today I came home after dropping Matt off at work...to know poop mess. Hallelujah! He ALWAYS poops on the floor the minute we walk out the door. Literally I took out the trash once and came back and he had pooped. Even though I had taken him out to go to the bathroom 5 minutes before that. Anyway, he's doing much better now. He doesn't go on the carpet and does go on the tile by the front door. I think he's starting to realize if he doesn't shape up...I literally will put him on craigslist.
And yes I have threatened him with this.
And yes, I know he's a dog. Don't judge.
Here he is in one of his favorite sleeping positions.
How this is comfortable, I will never understand.
Random #3: I start at a new/old second job next week. (Hopefully Wednesday). I'm back at the daycare in Whiteland that I worked at for 6 months last year. It's only 3-6 Monday-Friday, so I'm totally okay with that. And those hours will be AWESOME once the Bean comes and I go back to work. We'll now be able to get a new (to us) car! WOOP! No more me driving Matt to work! The car we have now works...and that's just about it. She gets us from A to B (sometimes). I just don't feel comfortable only having one semi-reliable car when the Bean gets here.
Random #4: I am annoyed by literally everything lately. People that randomly walk by at work, family, friends, the dog, the vacuum cleaner, having no space in this tiny apartment, the way the couch looks, not being able to sleep on my stomach, the creepy kid next door, people asking me if I've been to the doctor yet...uhh do I need to keep going? I know it comes with the pregnant territory but I feel bad because things that don't normally bother me, are bugging the crap out of me. I'll be standing there, and something happens and I get SO annoyed and then I act like a jerk. And the whole time in my mind I'm thinking 'Katy you're acting like a jerk over nothing!' but I can't seem to stop....it's very frustrating.
Random #5: Matt and I started a chore chart. Have I mentioned that? Why did we start a chore chart? Because we're apparently 10 years old and can't do housework. No seriously...I am not, nor have I ever been a cleaner. I mean, I'll do it...but I hate doing it, so it usually takes a really really long time for me to do the chore. It makes me feel like a terrible housewife. I mean Matt works ALL. THE. TIME, so the least I could do is make sure there aren't hair dryers/straighteners/bobby pins/etc all over the bathroom or piles of dishes in the sink.
Wow...I'm glad I just shared with you that our apartment is a disaster.
Well I'm getting my act together because of the Bean. Everything I do now is for that little Bean and I love it. :) I have actually been doing pretty well with the chores since we started the chore chart.
Alright...pretty random post so if you did get through it...1000 awesome points to you!
I'm off to do some dishes!

That title is my angry title.
The day started out awesome. I actually found a place where I could take a pregnancy test for free and get a doctors note from that place. By the way...this was a huge thing. I went to the preggo test place. AND THEY WERE GREAT! The ladies were super nice and at the end they even prayed for me and the baby. They even gave us a cute little sleeper, some diapers and a few other things. So after my wonderful trip there, I went straight to the enrollment center for healthcare.
They were jerks.
And guess what I found out? It's going to be another 11 days before I get my FIRST interview for the healthcare. THEN it'll be another 3 or so weeks until I find out if I got accepted.
Go ahead do the math.
It's going to be AT LEAST 4 more weeks until I get to go to the doctor. COMPLETE INSANITY!!!!!!
I will be in my SECOND TRIMESTER before I can go. Seriously. By this point...I'm crying. So I talk to a friend who had to get the same healthcare and she said she went to her doctor before hand because of how long it was going to take and then they reimbursed her. Well guess what...I, of course, can't do that. I called my doctors office and they said because I have already applied, they can't see me until I get accepted.
I MEAN WHAT THE CRAP?!?!?! mjkaflsdjfl;kasjdl;fkja;f UGH!
I immediately get off the phone and bawl my eyes out.*
Basically there's nothing I can do. The nurse at my doctors office said that as long as I'm taking prenatal vitamins and continue eating well and exercising then I should be okay.
But lets be serious. not going to the doctor until my second trimester is NOT okay.
ugh. That's how my day went from awesome to awful.
*Someone please tell me I'm not the only pregnant woman to cry on the phone when talking to a nurse or doctor.

Restaurant Style Salsa!
I seriously love salsa and chips. I've been known to eat salsa and chips as an entire meal. I LOVE going to Mexican restaurants and buying the salsa to go (mostly because they also send bags and bags of those chips home with you too...and those chips are RIDIC amazing!) So I was seriously craving some restaurant salsa today but it's kind of expensive to buy from the restaurant. So I found a recipe online. LET.ME.TELL.YOU.
Yum.
But really...it was delicious...and super easy. I followed the recipe pretty exactly and it was super spicy. The only difference is I didn't add the cumin and I only used one can of Rotel because it was all I had. I can only imagine how spicy it would have been had I used 2 cans of RotelI'm a heat lightweight but even Matt said it was hot and he loves spicy food. Here's the recipe straight from the website (Pioneer Woman ). By the way...don't even try and get me to eat the jar kind of salsa from the store. nas.tay.
1 can of whole tomatoes and juice
2 cans of Rotel (with the green chilies in it)
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 jalapeno split in half and then sliced (leave the seeds in for the spicy version!)
1 clove of garlic chopped
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
Juice from a lime
An entire bunch of cilantro
I'm a cilantro freeeeak. I put in the whole bunch (minus stems) and I probably could have put in some more. It has soooo much flavor. If you don't like a whole lot of cilantro then don't add a whole lot. And...I'm sorry if you don't like cilantro. That's pretty sad for you. :)
So just add all the stuff into a food processor or blender. It makes a HUGE batch. But it seriously won't last long. Here's what I'm going to do differently next time.
Either get rid of the Rotel all together and just substitute a can of tomatoes. Or use one can of Rotel and cut the seeds and veins out of the jalapeno. Also, I added a little extra sugar. You won't need anymore salt though, because the chips you'll use to dip have salt on them!
This is actually a really cheap recipe to make too! (Gotta love cheap and delicious.) (ahem. That's what she said)

Summer is around the corner....I think?
So I'm pretty sure we've had Spring around here...maybe? It's been crazy cold for this time of year and has rained (at some point) everyday for what seems like a month. Possibly more. Either I'm buying a boat or telling people I live in Seattle. So since Summer comes after Spring...here's my list of why I can't wait for summer...
1. Warm weather
2. Don't have to wear makeup
3. We find out the sex of the little bean!
4. Being outside!
5. Photo Shoots (hopefully!!)
6. FLORIDA
7. Concerts!
8. Cookouts!
9. 4th of July (my second favorite holiday)
10. We find out the sex of the little bean! (wait...did I already say that?)
