Breaking the Sabeth

So i did something that I don't think I will ever do again, but it was something that was out of my hands. I went to a music concert. Not just any music concert, but the one, the only, Celine Dion. The concert was rescheduled for February 22, instead of sometime last November. Celine was sick in November when she was supposed to come into town. So they scheduled it for a Sunday and I was having mixed emotions about going to a concert on a Sunday. I went with my mom as a stand in because my dad was unable to make it. So I did not have to pay for my ticket, luckily. The concert was great and I had a really great time. I was definitely ready to leave towards the end. Being pregnant and siting at the Energy Solutions Arena for 3 hours is not very comfortable. Overall the concert was great and I personally think that she has one of the most purest voices and makes sing so effortless. There are not to many singers out there who can sing like she can.

Oh, the joys of being Pregnant

So it is 12:30 in the morning and I cannot sleep. I am so exhausted from being up early for work and then dealing with life as a mom and wife, and yet I cannot sleep. Most nights I just lie in bed waiting for sleep to come while tossing and turning and it usually comes in the wee hours of the morning. Most mornings I feel like I just fell asleep only to have my alarm go off at 4:30am. I only have how many more months of this. Its a good thing the end result is worth it.
Other things that I have noticed or payed more attention to is my taste and smell senses. I get asked the "do you have any cravings" question every now and then, and I usually don't. But the one thing that I craved towards the end of being pregnant with Carson was smarties. Well I have already started that craving with this pregnancy. I just cannot get enough of them. Luckily I don't need to eat them all the time, mostly when I am at work. The funny things is when I had Carson and went back to work, I tried some smarties again and they did not taste that great. So it is definitely a pregnancy thing.
At the beginning months of being pregnant the one smell that really got to me was Carson dirty diapers. I had to hold my breath many times and have Matt change them. The smell was very much intensified. Also I could not handle roast cooking in the crock pot. I could handle eating it, but not smelling it cook. I have since over come these smells and can handle them just fine. Now their are smells that smell exceptionally good. This would be bleach mixed with water, almost like an indoor pool smell and Matt old spice deodorant. WEIRD I KNOW. (it is confession night). Well see how long these smells last.
So besides all the quarks of being pregnant all is well. She is moving all the time and I am getting more and more excited of having another little one.
