A Whole Lot of Random

Well, I don't know about the rest of you guys, but this heat is absolutely exhausting!!  I have no desire to even go to our neighborhood pool, I just find myself wanting to be in air conditioning ALL THE TIME.  Yes!!  I'm sure a lot of it has to do with the fact that I'm 8+ months preggo, but I am already looking forward to cooler weather, football season, boots and everything about fall. 


Unfortunately, I have been battling a slight viral infection this week and it's caused me to be extra tired and I'm constantly coughing.  Good news is the doctor thinks it should be cleared up within a  couple of days. Here's to hoping! 

 
We got our glider in this week and it completes our nursery for sweet Baby Reese.  There are only a couple of other little things that we need.  I'll do a post soon of what the nursery looks like - I am still in love with it and so glad it's almost finished!!!


This week was my last FULL 5 days of work before going on maternity leave.  I have 12 more days in the field!  This is CRAZY to me!!  A part of me wonders what I will do with myself if I'm not in the field, on conference calls, analyzing my business or making sales calls?!?!   This is all I have known since I've graduated college!!  I love my job, but hopefully if everything goes as planned (and Reese isn't more than a week early), I will be able to enjoy this sweet angel and will be on leave until January 3, 2013.  Yes, I know what you're thinking and I DO WORK FOR AN AWESOME COMPANY!!    What excites me most is that I will be at home with Reese during the holidays (my FAVORITE time of year!!) 


I've been thinking lately of some things that I really miss and look forward to getting back to as soon as this little munchkin makes her arrival. 

  • I would be lying if I said that I didn't miss my old size 2 clothes.  I get it, people....my body will never be the same after having children and I don't expect things to begin to look "normal" again for months, but I CANNOT WAIT to get back into my clothes and work towards getting this body back to it's old size!!!
  • I miss running!!  I have never been some extraordinary athlete or one that can run marathons, but I miss my 2-3 mile jogs that I haven't done in almost 9 months.  I probably won't have the time to do these regularly when our angel gets here, but to BE ABLE to would be exciting!!!
  • I miss my heels!!!!  I have never been a fan of flats!  Thankfully, being pregnant in the summertime allows for lots of cute flat sandals.  I'm not an idiot...I know I won't be sporting my 3-4 inch heels while carrying Reese to run errands, but to just be able to wear them to work or to dinner makes me smile ;)
  • I have never had a problem with acid reflux or heart burn...until last week!!!  It keeps me awake at night and has really becoming annoying.  I will be glad to be DONE with that.
  • I am a stomach sleeper!  I would've done anything yesterday to have been able to curl up with a pillow on my stomach.  Can't wait to go back to my normal way of sleeping....when I have the time to sleep :))

These are just a couple of things that I miss while carrying this little blessing around.  I know it will all be worth it when she makes her arrival.  7 weeks to go!!!!


Happy Friday!!!!

  1. Kia, I cannot wait to be able to lay on my tummy again!!! And I would give ANYTHING to be able to go out and run a good 3 miles or so! I can't even remember what it's like to get dressed without a big ol belly! Pray we can survive the heat til our little girls are here!
