Well, it's been a while since I've posted. Not a whole lot has gone on since my last post - I ended up having to go to once class on Dec. 10th for a final, but for the most part I stuck at home. That was actually the last day of my first semester of college. I was pretty excited - especially to have some time away from school. HAHA. I did pretty well - A's and B's. I'm pretty proud of myself.

 I haven't really done much of anything aside from that. I started working again. I'm back at Chili's after a 2 month hiatus (I hope I spelled that right) but I'm not waiting tables anymore. Well, not really. I will be one day to help a friend cover a shift, but typically I'm either working the To-Go counter or doing the front of house expo/QA. Every now and again (once every couple weeks) I fill in as a host. I'm enjoying being back, but it's a lot more tiring trying to work while I'm pregnant. I didn't work at all when I was pregnant with my first daughter, Gracie, so I really had no idea just how tiring it can really be. This pregnancy has been harder on me than my first was as well though. 

When I was pregnant with Gracie, for the most part it was the ideal pregnancy. I had some killer heartburn the last couple months, and some pretty wicked mood swings (although I blame those mostly on the environment - a story for a different day) but that's really it. I got physically throwing up sick twice. 

This time around however... I don't want to sound like a grump or like things are worse than they are - because they could REALLY suck. There haven't been any complications this time around, so I'm lucky there. But I've dealt with some discomfort spanning from an insane amount of vomit-inducing migraines and heartburn so bad that I've felt at times like my throat was going to open up through my neck and spew acid akin to that of the blood of the aliens from the Aliens movies. I'm swollen all over as well, and I never realized how badly it actually hurts to have swollen ankles - but trying to work on them SUCKS.

But, I'm about 3/4 the way through my pregnancy so I'm stoked. My main worries are dealing with my spoiled daughter (who will be 4 when the baby is born) and my spoiled self. Gracie is extremely independent, and I have become spoiled in that I don't have to provide much for her aside from just kind of hanging out. Don't get me wrong - I'm not saying that I make her cook and clean and basically be a miniature adult. I love my kid and I spend a lot of quality time with her. But, if I'm particularly tired I can put in The Lion King and lay down for the entire movie (and even sleep!) and not worry that something will go wrong. That is something I am sorely going to miss once girlie numero dos comes. 

Anyway. Things are going well here. I'm off work until New Years Day and I plan on spending much of that at home in my PJs. I'll update again here in the next week or so once something new happens. Until then, be good!
