Yes, We're REALLY Pregnant!

Image
After I got to confirm the big news to my husband, we both sat in there in shock. We just couldn't believe it happened so fast, we were so excited but still trying to wrap our minds around it. Our very much positive test! My sister had just face-timed us off of Lee's phone, and that is the real reason he was coming into the bedroom by me in the first place. So we called her back, and had to hold the excitement in to ourselves. It was kind of a fun little secret between us, but it was also hard to hold back such exciting news. I got up out of bed to continue with our day, but man, I really did not feel good. My cramps got worse, I got a fever,and I couldn't stay awake, and then (TMI) I couldn't stay out of the bathroom. Was this a symptom of pregnancy? Would I even be showing signs at 2 weeks in? I was really confused, and really sick. Soon, I was dehydrated and things got worse instead of better. In my first day of knowing I was pregnant,I got to utilize t...

Party Until 3am! Just kidding, Party of 3!

There are plenty of books out there that will tell you what it's like to be pregnant and all of the things to expect. There's also my Dear Friend Google.(something I should really stay off of) But all in all, there are a ton of resources out that talk about what to expect while pregnant; Things like: When you'll gain weight, what kind of diet to follow, what kinds of things to buy to prepare for baby, things about labor. There is a ton of information out there and I'm so thankful for that. However, there's not a whole lot out there to tells you about how your every day life will be effected, how your relationship will change, or how friendship changes. And there's definitely not enough information about the emotional toll (on top of all the hormones) that pregnancy will take on you.. Being a first time Mom, I will probably never feel ready. But I also didn't realize how much things would change, so early on.Want to know who your real friends are? Get pr...

Are we really pregnant?

"Are we really pregnant?!" The first words to come from my new husband of 14 days. And yes, we were really pregnant! The stars must have been aligned just right on our wedding day, just two weeks prior. I know,I know.Who get's pregnant on their wedding night anymore? Almost sound cliche,right? But it happens, and  we did. Lee and I got married on September 2nd, and we left for our honeymoon September 10th. We spent our days laying by the ocean.  We stayed at the Riu Palace Riviera Maya.  We spent 5 days under the sun in Mexico . These were days I would never forget. Everything about the trip was so memorable. It was mine and Lee's first time flying anywhere together. And first time traveling as a married couple. Our trip was scheduled right when there happened to be 5 HURRICANES happening, and one forming in the Gulf of Mexico.I panicked (Of course) and was certain we would be canceling our trip. Thankfully, we didn't have to,and everythin...

Out with the Old, in with the New. New blog that is.

I'm the new Mrs. Strangfeld in town.Most of you who will be reading this follow me on some sort of social media.And a lot of you are probably familiar with my old blog, you know,the one about hair and makeup, the one I gave up on what seems to be forever ago. I then started to turn to YouTube videos, doing tutorials and making Vlogs about my non-exciting life. Back then, I was hoping to become some internet sensation. Maybe  I was in some sense, but just to my small band of followers from my  hometown. I quickly fell off my train in that department. I still have a passion for hair and makeup, but at the same time,I feel like I lost it. I rather put the time and the effort into a client than myself. Anywhooo. I decided I'm not ready to give up writing. So I've  created this brand new blog that some might enjoy and some might now. But I decided that I'm also using this blog as a journal, and my way to vent my feelings. So this blog will be full of emotions and real lif...
