so far

Since my pregnancy journal is lacking and I have had a interesting time so far and am learning so much about life and myself... I'd thought I would share a few things:

week 4: feeling faint
week 5: Moody
week 6: HOLY CRAMPS!!!
week 7: really. Sick. Loosing weight...
week 8: colds and morning sickness equals HELL!
week 9: tired! Falling asleep in class, work and on muni

Every week seems to have it's own challenges. Just wondering what is going to come next!

Other tidbits I have discovered:
Stay clear of buffets, the smell combos make you want to run to the nearest garbage can.
Telling people you are pregnant makes them treat you like a fragile piece of china.
Being in massage school while pregnant is AWESOME! they always want to give you extra massage time.
Having a boss, who's wife had twins and a hard pregnancy , is a huge advantage for me. He's very understanding and protective.
Support is important. Family.and friends that are also pregnant are lifesavers some days.


When cravings occur... Don't make a ton of the dish. After a bite or two it goes from craving to vomit inducing. Ugh

Well, that's enough for now... I'm sure I will be updating with more.

make up your mind!

Yesterday I was told I looked green and I was glowing in the same hour.
Hopefully I have more glowing moments than green moments. :-/


7 more weeks ...

Heres to 2012!

Its going to be a great year!

we are increasing our numbers in September 2012!!!! :)

aka:

WE ARE  PREGNANT!!!!! :)

please NO posts on facebook!

Well it's official!!!

WE ARE MARRIED!!!!!

We sealed the deal on Saturday and have lasted almost a week and not killed eachother... I think we are doing pretty well! ;P

It is so nice to finally just BE married. No more having to drive home at night, worrying about being in the same bed or not being "chaperoned" and being with each other!
We had a cute little mini moon down to Santa Cruz/Monterey and it was lovely. It was great to get away lol ( I'll blogg w/ pictures later)

Now life is just getting used to schedules, the city, being MRS. ATHEY, and being introduced as his wife... It still catches me offguard lol

We are embracing this new time. Yes it's a little scary... But hey, we have eachother!

Beginning is in sight!

Sooooooooo Its October... and that means:


WE GET MARRIED THIS MONTH!


... and we are just a little excited, freaked out, overwhelmed, and ready for it to be over! :)






This little fact keeps hitting us incrementally at different times. 
When I got a dress
When we got the marriage license
Moving into the apartment 
When we were putting together favors
When we were stuffing and stuffing and stuffing envelopes 
When we had our temple recommend interviews
AFTER the Living Ordinance interview :)


We cant wait to be married but its a little scary... as Mike puts it :" to become an old adult"
He doesn't want to grow up... 


What he doesn't realize is getting married doesn't mean we grow up... it just means we  found our partner in crime ;)


What are we getting ourselves into?;)

the last few weeks....

Well here we are! We made it! I never thought this month would come but here it is!

Slight recap of the past few weeks:

Mike Moved! = no more Athey kids at home!

Mike started school= getting back into the grove

Kati Moved + moving drama with old roomate= Mike saw a new side of me :-/

Mike - weight=Mike bought size 34 jeans! He looks so good!

Invitations + getting addresses + stuffing= no date nights

Graduation from the 720 program at NHI +  my mother actually showing up= tears but I found out how many people are on my side

Student Services Award + Graduate with Honors + Letters of Excellence + Student of the Month= Being a Teaching Assistant BEFORE I graduated

Ambition+ Drive+ a very supportive Husband ( we will be married when I start the program) = Advanced Neuromuscular Program (400 more hours of school)

It has been a rough couple weeks, but we are growing closer and I cant wait to get sealed to-and start my life with- such a wonderful man!

Changes

Sooooooo... This weekend Mike moved into our place in San Francisco!!! I couldn't be there for the actual move, but I came later that day and brought a carful of MY stuff to ( as a friend put it- stake my territory. Haha) this was the first time actually SEEING OUR PLACE, and frankly, I LOVE IT! it's bigger than the place I have now and has cute little quirks that will fit Mike and I well lol
Starting to unpack was quite an experience... I love how organized he was but there was one box I opened named : "living room misc" - I could only identify ONE thing in the box. He explained what everything was and said: " don't look at me like that... You have weird stuff to!" he couldnt name anything at that moment... But later when I was playing with a crazy Japanese hamster toy ( that my dad got me for a gift a few years ago) spinning around in the kitchen... I understood that he MAY have a point. :D

I love him and appreciate his ignorance... He has no idea what he is getting himself into... Granted he thinks my "PMS" ( I have only expressed it 2 times since we have been together) is funny... But he hasn't lived with my crazy shenanigans yet.he he.

67 more days!!!
