Belly, no belly, belly, no belly...

So, as of today I am 11 weeks. Here are two belly shots. The smaller one was from 5 weeks and the other is from 10 weeks.

The 10 week belly pic is from a day when I was at my biggest. There are days when I have no belly at all, which freaks me and confuses me all at once. A lot of days, my belly looks as small as the 5 week picture. Because of this, I am still not totally convinced I am pregnant. Well, besides feeling like crap every freakin' day! Even when I feel "good", I still feel like crap. Crap is my new normal. The best I can hope for....is crap. You get the point.  Dont get me wrong, I am beyond excited to have this baby, but this pregnancy is going way too slow for my taste. Because I found out at only 4 weeks, I feel like I have already been pregnant for forever...and people still cant even tell by looking at me that I am even pregnant. For all the crap I have been feeling, I at least deserve a belly to show off...proof of my pain if you will.  
Another part of my crap feeling is just not having the desire to do anything! My husband is always asking "do you want to...." and the answer is always "nope". The only thing I ever feel up to doing is going to get some food. Of course, I have been craving restaurants like P.F Changs, Olive Garden, Outback and this Thai place I used to go to when I lived in Newport Beach called Bamboo Bistro. To get to any of these restaurants I have to drive about 45min to an hour. No thank you. Since becoming pregnant I have realized that we have absolutely nothing good when it comes to restaurants. There are some nice restaurants downtown, but those are expensive, not to mention Santa Cruz has the worst service of any city I have ever been in. There is one restaurant near our house called Molly's Cafe and Aaron and I literally went there 3 times this weekend. They dont have the best food, but it is the only place where we know we can get a seat and a meal whether its for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Sorry for the rants...I am done now.

As for preparing for the baby, I cant say that I have done much. The one thing that has prepared Aaron and I (somewhat) for a baby is our cat Elvis. He is very needy and whiny when he wants something. Here he is sleeping in his "crib". He is obsessed with this box and is in it when he is not eating or pooping.

He is totally our little baby. He whines when he wants food, he whines when he wants outside and he especially whines when he wants his kitty treats. And, around 3:00am every morning he gets in bed with us and sleeps just like this, but on my head. Its funny to say this, but I know Aaron is going to be a great father just by seeing how he is with Elvis. He is so attentive to him and loving. Elvis of course loves his daddy just as much...as pointed out by the pictures below.

In this last picture Elvis is cleaning daddy's chin hair. He always wraps his arms around Aaron's neck really tightly when he does this. He is too funny, I know. Well, that is it for this week. Hopefully I will feel more motivated to update this thing on a regular basis. As you have learned in this blog..I dont feel like doing crap!
