I AM... the pregnancy version

Thanks to my friend, Amy. (Told you I'd "steal" this!) I love posts like this and I thought I could tie this in with my current state of being: aka Pregnancy!

I am

missing: My toes! They are down there somewhere... I can feel them, just can't see 'em!
wearing: Grey t-shirt, khaki shorts. Yes, we are finally warm enough for this kind of clothing! Thanks to my awesome sis, Marcia, who has me dressing rather well this pregnancy.
working on: Getting baby's room finished. I am almost there!
eating: Just finished some butterscotch pudding. I really don't deprive myself at all during pregnancy. Except caffeine (I miss you, old friend *sniff*).
dreaming of: Anything but this baby! Is it weird I have had not ONE dream about this kid?! I had tons about Aria and I remember them all well... mostly. I haven't had one this whole pregnancy. It's okay, I guess, just weird.
realizing: Today is June 13... WHAT?!?!?! This month is WAY TOO BUSY!
impatiently waiting for: June 27... prenatal appointment and hopefully we can find out for sure if this baby is a boy or girl!
anticipating: The arrival of this baby about the same time Aria starts kindergarten.
loving: The fact that I have not gained any where near the weight I did with Aria (yet!) and have no new stretch marks!!! Yay!
thinking about: How tired I feel, but am too busy to do anything about it! Seriously, Aria has basketball camp, T-ball, VBS, swimming lessons all crammed in this month on top of Tony and my already busy schedule. We have a major activity going on every day of this month, I kid you not. It's fine, actually, but wow! And Aria just finished soccer.
feeling: uncomfortable. I think it's called Braxton-Hicks. I don't recall having them with Aria, so this is new territory for me. And this baby kicks hard and it hurts! I also like how I grunt every time I bend over: *hum-phrah!* Nice. How attractive am I right now?!
listening to: Some "old school" Reality Check. Good stuff, Good memories! (thanks again, Shosh!)
reading: Believe it or not, I am actually reading a book right now (don't give me too much credit tho, I've had it for a few months and am not quite half way thru). Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover. Getting some good ideas and prepping for some major changes in the Miller house, finance wise!

12 years ago today...



So... I am up kinda late. Had a fun evening with the girls and I'm not settled down yet to sleep (and this baby thinks it's fun to kick late at night... uh-oh!), so while I'm thinking about it...

Whoa! I feel sorta old saying I've been married 12 years. I think I can safely say I've known/been with Tony half of my life, too! I feel even older when my marriage is longer in years than people around me who could be my parents and they've only been married less than 10! (and most of them are on their 2nd marriages.) I am happy to beat the stats of a "young bride" and still be in a very solid and happy marriage. I totally am married to my best friend, someone who makes me laugh, who loves me for who I am, and who, as corny as it sounds, completes me. No plans to officially celebrate; I like what a friend said awhile ago: "that dinner and presents stuff is for rookies!" That or we're just too cheap! Either way, 12 years and counting, baby! I love you, Tony!
