a new year

The last time I posted anything blogspot froze up and erased my post. I have been aprehensive about posting since. I hope I have more luck with this one. I am officially 6 and a half months along in my pregnancy. I am excited I am not very very big although my belly is. I have been watching what I eat and I exercise a lot. Its not so hard to do that part. I have found that the last months have gone by insanely fast and now they seem to be dragging a bit. Its a tad worrisome considering my back in the very center aches no matter what I do. I find that when I have the worst posture it feels the best, but what good does that do? So 3 more months of this back pain:-(. I know I think it'll be worth it in the end but its a bit daunting when I live it day to day. I cannot complain anymore though, some people really have it way worse.

Chris and I are also getting over colds. Mine has lasted 3 weeks. Its been a little scary trying to get rid of it, praying it won't turn into a sinus infection or bronchitis like it did last year. I do not want to be on any medication while being pregnant. Anyway, I missed a couple days of work but I made up for it last week and this week is pretty full. God still provides.

Chris and I also started a devotional book this year that I bought him for Christmas. So far we have only missed one day(and we've read it since Christmas). Its been really good. I like having a topic or an idea on my mind that I can think about throughout the day and discuss with him later. We are also on a diet! Haha...ok he is on a diet and I am reevaluating my calorie intake. I crave meat and cheese but I am trying to eat leaner with the same calories. So after a failed attempt at lean we ended up eating pork chops, noodles with butter and a salad(yay). Atleast our portions were more appropriate. This week will be better! I am going to start making a menu, which will help me think better when it comes time to cook. I somehow manage to have no trouble actually making things. Chris told me jokingly in the store last night that when we get divorced he's taking all my recipes, which is cute because they are all in my head:-). For someone who has never really liked to cook I have sure fattened my man up.

So slowly but surely this year has worked some of the kinks out of adjusting to married life. We were both on our own for years before living together and its a challenge meshing me (popsicle for dinner eater) with Mr. Bachelor(who eats out whenever he feels like it). We've managed to keep the house clean and have organized and reorganized and still have more to go. We've got three more months to get ourselves and the house ready for our little wild child and for our own sanity.

Also coming soon...my web site and business and Chris' as well. We are both excited to get the ball rolling with our ideas. And Chris has done some amazing work on the websites. Hopefully this year will be more forward progress and less figuring things out:-).
