dilla dilemma.

first dilemma.

i made my weekly trip to target today. 

 goodness, i have such a love/ hate relationship with that place.  so does my previously mentioned financial advisor.

the past few trips i have shockingly left with nothing in hand.  mainly due to the fact that i was terrified of humiliating myself by puking my pregnant guts on their beautiful floors. . . so i just had to hurry on out of there. 

but today i feel great!

so, as i am aimlessly roaming about i find my heart and soul gravitating towards the easter candy.  i just couldn't stop myself.  i tried to refocus my attention on other things but nothing was helping. 

don't judge. 

 i am typing this post while chomping on some sweettarts chicks, ducks and bunnies and sitting happily beside me is a huge bag of starburst jelly beans.  i know that as soon as andy comes home and sees me i will get a major talking to but for the time being i am going to cram as much sugar in me as i can.

second dilemma.

whose heart is not breaking for sandra?

jesse, you are dumb and now i could care less to know what you whispered in her ear the night she won her academy award. 

booya!

this picture says it all.  she looks adorable and perfect and he looks dumb and disgusting.

third dilemma.

i plan on being poolside for the entire summer sippin' on some famous acc's chocolate milkshakes BUT what am i going to wear. 

obviously, a bathing suit jessica but what kind?

i am assuming i am going to be as big as a tent. . . but how am i supposed to prepare.  i looked today at some sorta cute one pieces but i just don't think they will do and i can't imagine baring it all in a two piece. 

oh no absolutely not!

 i do think i could work a tank-kini and target just so happens to have the most precious one ever in stores right now through their liberty of london line.  since it's a 'guest' line i can expect that it will be in stores for 2 months tops and already today the sizes were pretty picked over.  i guess every other expecting mama in town loved this suit too! good for them, i hope they are happy. 

i am taking suggestions.  what bathing suit worked best for you and your cooking oven?

enough dilemmas.  thanks for listening to my petty silliness.

***

we are looking forward to a baseball filled weekend with this wildcat.

this is such a sweet season for my family.

 we have traveled the country watching christopher play baseball and this will be it. 

we are taking in every second with such joy and anticipation for what the Lord has in store for him next.  i get all chocked up just thinking about how good, faithful and protective the Lord has been to this little brother. i want to just shout from the mountaintops, "Lord, thank you for loving him and NEVER leaving him! YOU are a good God!" we are so thankful that he is rooted in faith and so anxious to see what's just around the corner.

andy and i had the sweetest pleasure of hearing our little buttons' heartbeat today.  coming in at a steady and rapid 154 beats and measuring at 3 inches our little joy is cookin' away.  i still am trying to wrap my brain around this child. . .

 i am thrilled. 

 i am excited. 

i am still a little bit shocked.

i am nervous. 

i am terrified of labor.

 i am thankful.

i am exhausted.

 i am elated. 

i am 2 days and counting (hopefully) of being able to keep food down. 

i am gassy. :)

i am freaking out.

i am amazed at what is going on in my body right now. 

as i laid on the table today and the sweetest nurse put jelly on my belly i paniced. i knew we were getting ready to hear our babies heartbeat and i, for a split second, thought what if she can't find it.  i was sick six, count em, SIX times on wednesday. what if i haven't been eating enough.  there's no way a baby can survive on crackers and popsicles. what if there is no heartbeat.

Lord, what will we do. 

and in an instant i remembered that the Lord has and will sustain this baby. 

there really is nothing quite like being pregnant.  it is a gift. it is truly a miracle.

and it's such a joy when your husband takes you to hickory street afterwards for a celebratory feast of chicken salad!

'you hem me in- behind and before.  you have laid your hand upon me.' psalm 139:5

and the winner is.

let's admit it. 

sandra bullock is perfection. 

absolute perfection.

i stayed up so past my bedtime last night and still missed her but rushed home today to watch her acceptance speech over. and over. and over again.  i am so curious to know what jesse whispered in her ear!

i have loved her from the beginning and have watched her movies countless times. 

while you were sleeping.

miss congeniality I.

and II.

all time fav, hope floats.  have every word memorized.

last but not least. the blindside.  i will be first in line, when this hits the shelves and i plan on memorizing every word in this masterpiece.

here's what's been getting me through some very terrible first trimester blues.

 some delicuous colby jack with

yummy saltines!

stocked to the brim in our fridge.

a childhood favorite has become my pregnancy favorite.

the most wonderful creation, english muffin with pb. get me one now!

chocolate milk, just like dessert.

and this angel sent straight from heaven!

 shout out to andy, not the elk.

what a sweet and accomidating husband i have!  there is no way i would have made it thorugh the past week without him.  i told him last night when we were crawling in bed that i know the Lord is going to honor all of his hard work and patience. we are praying that as these last 'first trimester weeks' dwindle down that things will start looking up and not so much into the bowl of out potty.

t.m.i?

no way! yes way!

welp.

 i've done it again. 

 this time i've gone almost a full month without any updates.  you know it's been a while when you have a hard time remembering your login info. 

but i'm back. 
at least for today. . .

so buckle up readers, you don't want to miss this!
