All in all, my pregnancy has been going rather well. I've had the average morning sickness and what not, insomnia, and frequent nausea...but that's just part of the package. Up until the past week to 2 weeks I didn't really have too much sadness or stress over my body image. I just chalked it all up to the fact that I HAD to do it all no matter what. Don't get me wrong..I'm been very eager to begin a diet once the baby is born, but I just set it aside in my mind for another 6 months.
Then it happened...I had a bad weekend last weekend, and what do you think I do? I resorted to what I always had without even realizing it. It just happened. When I got to work and the girl that I work with asked what we should do for dinner I unintentionally said, "Oh, I'm sorry I already ate." Right away I noticed what I said and then realized that I hadn't eaten that day or the day before. I have since gotten much better, but throughout this pregnancy...it's just been hard to eat at all..not because of the demon.
Overall, I guess I just surprised myself because I thought that I would be able to notice when I was feeling that way. It just woke me up a little to see that I still resort to that whenever I am sad or uncomfortable. I should probably talk to Chris, but he seriously is not good at talking about stuff. He just looks at me and seems confused and bored. Haha!
That was very random and I'm rather embarassed, but oh well. I guess I was just checking if anybody could relate to resorting to it unknowingly sometimes. Well, have a great weekend :)

Whiskers on Kittens :)
Well, I have not posted in quite some time so I thought I would just let everyone know that life in South Dakota is rather uneventful. At least Chris and I enjoy are jobs so that's good. Hehe.
My first doctor appointment is not until October 14th. The doctors here don't want to see the mommy until she is about 11 weeks along. Everyone keep their fingers crossed that everything is going according to plan :)
Well, just a random post to add to the page. Have a great rest of your week everyone. Goodnight :)

20 Questions
1. What do you want right this minute? I want to know that my baby will be healthy and that everything's going to be ok, even though I just found out.
2. If you were a boxer, what would your ring name be? Definitely Angela Lansbury..that's a good boxer name.
3. Would you rather be perfect from the waist up or the waist down? Waist up..I can't hide my face, but I can hide my body...hopefully.
4. Would you rather meet Oprah or Ellen? Ellen...she's hilarious
5. Have you ever had Gonorrhea? Yeah, that's a no.
6. What does your favorite pair of underwear look like? I don't really have a fav pair..they all pretty much look the same....pink, green, blue...fun colors
7. What’s one thing you’re afraid of? The dark. Everything about it...going around the corners...shining my cell phone so that I can see...wondering if someone is around the corner or if I'm going to trip on something.
8. If you could be reincarnated as someone/something, what would you pick? I would like to be Emmy Rossum...she's talented, stunning, and above all...she's amazingly grounded in life.
9. Who is your least favorite actor? Strangely...I'm not a fan of Samuel L. Jackson...for some reason, people love him. Weird.
10. Do you ever have recurring dreams? Not anymore..I use to dream weird things like people in my family getting taken away from me or me getting taken away from them.
12. Do you like reality TV? I don't watch very much TV, but for reality...I must admit I am a fan of America's Next Top Model.

15. What would you do if you were locked in a room with your worst enemy for 3 days? An enemy... I'm not sure of any enemies of mine, but I'm sure there is some of them out there. I would bring a lot of books :)
16. Were you popular in high school? I wasn't, by definition, popular. I was friends with pretty much everyone and stayed in contact with most every "clique" in school. Popularity wasn't that important to me because the "popular" people were usually dishing out money for some type of illegal act that they performed.
17. What did you want to be when you were little, and did you follow that dream? I wanted to be a singer..haha! I do still love to sing more than anything, but no..I went into the hospitality industry.

2. If you were a boxer, what would your ring name be? Definitely Angela Lansbury..that's a good boxer name.
3. Would you rather be perfect from the waist up or the waist down? Waist up..I can't hide my face, but I can hide my body...hopefully.

Update
Well, I guess I haven't really updated on how Rapid City is going so I will do that.
Chris and I came down to Rapid City on August 1 to move our stuff into the nice place, and the day after that Chris went back to North Dakota until he finished his job which his last day was August 15. I had a wedding in Fargo on the 16 so as he was moving down here, I was going up to ND for the weekend. We are both finally down here together. Haha..
I have to admit that the 2 weeks that I had nobody here were 2nd hardest 2 weeks of my life(my mother's brain aneurism being the first). It was so hard being here having no friends. I went to work, came home, watched seasons on DVD, went to sleep, got up...and all over again. I had no friends. I still don't have any friends, but at least Chris is here now.
The 2 weeks prior were near impossible for me and I was so close to giving up. It was even harder than treatment. I seriously would rather go to treatment for a year than have 2 weeks with nobody in my life. (Let me rephrase that...a year without any chance of having to go on caution status..haha)
I have lived my entire life being able to make friends. I guess I have just taken it for granted in the past and never really thought I wouldn't have a friend. I just assumed that having friends was a part of life. I do have coworkers, but most of them have families and probably wouldn't want to go out to a movie with me.
At least Chris is here now so it makes things a little easier, but it is difficult for me to hang out with Chris every night. I don't know why..it may just be the independent side of me. I have a hard time hanging around a man every night...even though it is my husband. I still need that night that I have with my friends. I'm strange I know, but I always feel so obiligated to be a good wife...nevermind..that's another blog topic.
All in all, Rapid City is great..I just wish I didn't feel so alone when I'm around so many people. I am excited that I don't have therapy anymore. It was weird leaving my therapist that I had for 4 1/2 years, but I'm suppose to call her monthly to keep her updated. Haha..she's silly.
Well, I hope that everyone is having a great week. Don't forget to watch Brie on TV tomorrow!

Wedding song
Hey ladies!
So I'm singing in a wedding on the 30th, and I recorded myself singing the song so that I could get feedback from my sister and from the bride and a couple of my friends. I figured I would go ahead and put it on my blog to get some feedback from you all. So if you could all tell me what parts I could work on...that would be great. Thanks ladies!!! Love you and miss you!
