Oh, the joys of being prego! Let me start out by saying that most people have the worst "morning sickness", myself on the other hand does not get morning sickness. I have felt pretty good for the most part. I only have a couple complaints about being pregnant.
First, I hate that I'm always and I mean always tired. No matter what time of the day it is I find myself nodding off. This part of being pregnant is probably the hardest, well as of now. The reason why this is so hard for me is because I love to work and push myself as far as I can. I like working all day at Cyprus CU and I Love doing hair at night. My crazy schedule has unfortunately cause a lot of problems with this pregnancy. Most of the time when I finally do get home at night I get in the bath and then get into bed and this is where the problems start I usually fall right asleep and almost every time I can't even remember getting into bed. I know, my doctor already told me, I need to change my crazy life schedule and I will but its hard when you love what you do so much!
My second complaint about being knocked up is the gosh dang heart burn. I have always heard my Dad and Ster talk about what awful heart burn they have but I have not experience it myself. For those of you out there that have never had heart burn before you are such lucky people and have probably never been pregnant. I find myself everyday making sure that before I eat anything I take a heart burn pill. I guess I shouldn't really be complaining because compared to most pregnant women I think I have it pretty easy.
My third and last complaint for the day about being "With Child", can I just say first that blogging right now is totally helping me feel about better, is feeling blotted 100% of the time. It seriously doesn't matter what I eat and even if I do or don't over eat. After every meal I feel like my stomach is going to bust open and my pants are going to split down the middle. I'm currently 13 weeks along and I'm at that stage where unless I'm wearing a really tight shirt (which at this point you will not catch me dead in) you can't tell I'm pregnant I just look and for sure feel FAT!!!! This far into my pregnancy I haven't craved anything. I did at first want cheese burgers but that's pretty normal for me. Food still sounds fabulous to me but it for sure doesn't taste the same. For example my most favorite place is the Oyster bar. Well the food doesn't taste like I remember and I can't finish a whole meal anymore, probably good for my weight gain that I don't finish meals.
This past week Ster and I celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary. To kick off this wonderful day we both took that day of work and went to JoAnn's Kitchen for breakfast and it was fabulous! After breakfast we went out to an early movie and then to finish the night dinner at the Oyster bar. I'm so lucky to have met Ster. Two years has gone by so fast and I'm so happy in our marriage. Ster is the funniest guy ever. He makes me laugh even when I'm really upset. He works so hard at his job, most days I wonder how the heck he goes all day working outside in the heat and then in the cold. I'm so excited to see what a wonderful Dad he is going to be for our baby. I just keep picturing how he is going to be so cute with our child. I'm one lucky girl and Mom to be!

About a week ago I had my 1st official doctors appointment as a mom to be. The reason why I say "1st official" is because Dr. Later was so nice to let Ster and I meet him at the hospital one Sunday morning when I was only 6 weeks along so we could see what was cookin' inside. As of right now I'm 13 weeks. Anyway, I was really nervous about going to my appointment because I knew that I would have to get blood work done and I always pass out when I get my blood drawn.
My 1st appointment when a little like this. Ster and I drove up separately because right after we both when to work. On my way to my appointment, which is at Alta View hospital, we got stuck in the morning traffic and because I was already so nervous about getting my blood drawn I started to stress a lot more. We finally made it to the doctors office and started filling out all the paper work. Jeez, they sure do ask some weird questions on those forms. When we met with Dr. Later, which is also a very good family friend, we were able to do another ultrasound. It was so neat to see how much baby Headrick has already grown since we saw it last. I started laughing during the ultra sound cause I knew I was about to cry and I didn't want to cry in front of Ster and the Doctor. After the ultra sound I had to get my blood work done. Boy, was I so nervous. I told the nurse that I usually pass out when I get my blood drawn so I needed to lay down, as she was getting everything ready I just laid there scared!! The nurse was trying to make small talk with me to get my mind off what she was about to do. She ask me to spell my last name and I was so nervous I couldn't spell it for her. Ster just laughed. I had to say that when it was all done I felt only a little pinch and I didn't get sick at all. My nurse was the very best and I hope she can always do my blood work.
Being pregnant is so weird. You really do feel like a crazy person. Your moods go up and down like your on a crazy roller coaster and your body starts changing so fast. I have felt so lucky because thus far I have felt pretty good. Besides the fact that I feel tired all the time and my body physically can't work as much as I would like it to. I can't wait to be a Mom and bring this new life into this world. Ster will be such a great Dad, I can already tell and sometimes he is more excited than I am, mostly on the days that I'm not feeling the best. So my next Doctors visit is on October 3rd, which is a week before Bobby gets home from his mission! YAY! I can't wait to see him again.

Summer 2009
It has been such a long time since I've updated my blog and "oh my" so much has happened to the Headrick's in such a short amount of time. First, I started my own little business along with two of my friends. The name of the business is Barlume, which in Italian means GLIMMER. It was perfect because we do glitter toe parties. I know that sounds really weird but its the new trend this past summer and all through the summer we were booked with parties almost every night. So on top of having glitter toe parties I was also still working at the credit union and also doing hair. My life was so busy and stressful, poor Ster would have to go home to an empty condo every night. Which brings me to my next subject our condo.
Nope, still have not manage to sell our cute condo in Herriman yet. We have had it for sale for so long I'm beginning to think we are stuck there. Not to worry though we have had many neighbors sell their condos so I know its possible. We are still doing the for sale by owner deal and I think we will have to find an agent once the housing market goes up again. Cross your fingers in will soon!!!
In August Sterling tried to give me a heart attacking by driving in the South Jordan Demolition Derby. I was so nervous and excited for him. Jiffy Lube provided the truck, yep that's right he drove a truck YIKES. The derby turned out perfect for me cause he only had one really hard head on collusion and then we was stuck on a dirt bank. I think Ster was a little disappointed and hoped that he could have done more damage but at least he didn't get hurt too bad. Just some minor cuts and he knee is still hurting and it's September.
Our Summer has been non stop busy busy we manage to go camping a couple times with our good friends Heather and Aaron. We been to George Strait, Toby Keith, and this weekend Brad Paisley. We celebrated Sterling's 24th birthday by going to Wendover to do what Ster loves.... Gambling. But I will have to say that the biggest summer event happened one Sunday morning, July 19th to be exact. I woke up after along weekend of fun and decide, for no good reason, to take a pregnancy test. So while Ster was still laying in bed I took the test and to my surprised the test said, YES. I went into our bed room and told Ster and he was a little surprised and really didn't know what to say. I was in complete shock. In March 2010 the Headricks will be welcoming their first baby!
