I’m learning very quickly that pregnancy is incredibly unpredictable. I had all intentions of writing a post when I got home last night, but instead, I was laying on heat packs, fighting back spasms. Not to mention continued round ligament pain. But today, I’m feeling really good and even got in my first long workout of the week — 30 minutes of hills on the elliptical, and 20 minutes of strength training. Each day is so different from the next in this crazy mommy-to-be journey! I’m soaking up every minute though — even the painful ones.

So let’s get to the 14 random things about me. As I mentioned in my last post, Brittany and Steph passed the Beautiful Blogger Award to me (thanks so much, ladies!), and I couldn’t be more honored. Brittany has become a fast friend that I met through blogging, and her positive attitude and determination to lose weight leaves me in awe with each and every post.

Steph and I are long-time friends, and she is one of the most fantastic and talented photographers out there! Seriously, you need to check out her work…phenomenal!! I haven’t asked her yet, but I’m hoping she’ll do some pregnancy pics for us. Fingers crossed she has a day open, cause she sure stays busy.

I hope I don’t have any repeats…it’s hard coming up with 14!

1. I hate ham, but I love prosciutto. Odd, I know.
2. I have a huge extended family — more than 14 cousins on one side alone!
3. I’m not a fan of scary movies, haunted houses and any other spooky things that other people find fun.
4. My first boyfriend was in the 4th grade. Our relationship lasted a week I think. Ha Ha!
5. I love to go dancing, even though I’m not very good at it.
6. I’ve been a bridesmaid 5 times.
7. I had bleach blond hair in high school, and braces. Luckily people were still nice to me. Ha!
8. I am obsessed with reality TV. Guilty pleasures include all the Real Housewives series, Jersey Shore, 16 and Pregnant…oh the shame!
9. I can’t sleep at night unless my kitchen is clean.
10. My husband and I’s first date was dinner at a sushi restaurant. We’ve been together (almost 4 years!) ever since.
11. I had a Michael Jackson doll when I was little. It had the full “Thriller” outfit and everything.
12. One of my favorite movies is “The Jerk.” Classic!
13. I am always cold. I keep a space heater running at work year round, and I always have a blanket or sweatshirt on at home.
14. I refuse to eat leftover chicken. It just tastes nasty to me heated back up!

And I’d like to pass the Beautiful Blogger Award to these terrific ladies:

• Erin
• Angie
• Tina
• Lorrie
• Jeannie
• Krissie
• Kate

A new episode of Real Housewives of Orange County is on, so I must go! But, I will leave you with a very cute pup pic I took tonight. Tex played so much at doggy daycare today, he went straight to sleep when JD brought him home:

What a sweet, sleepy baby!

Have a great night, all!
