The Birds and The Bees... In my driveway?

Yesterday started off like any other day. I had some errands to run before Mr. left to fly around the world (again,) and I wanted to get them finished in the afternoon so I had time to spend with him that evening. As I was walking to my car, I noticed my sweet 'adopted' cats lounging in the driveway soaking up the sun, and noticed two more of my cats in our neighbors driveway. As usual, they were waiting for their breakfast, so I grabbed the bag of food and poured it into their bowl. As I proceed to get into my car, I notice the little black cat is lying with a siamese cat in the neighbors driveway. I go to fix the mirrors and that's when I saw it:

The poor little girl cat was being MOUNTED by this HUGE siamese cat!!! AHHH! My eyes!! As I stared awkwardly at them, a few things were going through my mind:

1. OMG. I cannot believe these cats are just going at it right here in front of me!

2. What is wrong with me? Why am I even looking at this? Weirdo!

3. Oh no. He's biting her, and she is in pain. HONK YOUR HORN, darnit!

4. This makes me very uncomfortable to watch. STOP looking then. I can't help it!

By this time, it's raining and I decide to peel my eyes away from the spectacle before me and head to base. When I got home, they were gone and all I could think of was "Well, in a few months when I see baby siamese and black kittens running around, I can say I saw them being made!" Ohhhhh. Awkward!!!!

And guess who was outside on my driveway this morning waiting for food? None other than the little gigolo himself, Simon the siamese cat... All in a day in my life :)

Baby on board, Bump on board!

That's the bump that baby Top Gun has decided to give me!

It looks smaller than what it is, I think!! Especially after I eat... that's a different story, and then I suddenly look 7 months pregnant. I promise to get some better and full length photos of me (with my actual face in them,) but Mr. is off flying around the world again, and taking those pictures alone is hard!

Weight gain: Probably 4 lbs!!

Clothes: Still wearing my jeans and shirts, but jeans are getting a bit tight...

Weeks: Almost 12!!!

Meet my 'neighbor'

Bahahaha... So, y'all really want to come visit me in Japan, you say? Perhaps you may want to reconsider this:

I found this cute little guy hanging on an A/C unit in the neighborhood...

Pregnancy food cravings and aversions... Fun!

I think it's time for an update on preggo me! So, without further adieu, here y'all go...

How am I feeling?

- I am tired, but honestly can say in the last week I have had a bit more energy than usual. Heck, I'll gladly take that, over feeling like a zombie any day!

-No morning, afternoon or evening sickness!! YAY! Small waves of nausea every now and then, and usually when I let my stomach go empty. I am getting up in the middle of the night to snack and eating something small in the morning when Mr. wakes up.

-Weird stretching feelings in my tummy...

-Still emotional and crying at silly things...

-Very clingy to Mr. and not happy to be left home alone... AGAIN!

-My hands and feel have begun to swell slightly when we are outside in the heat. So, we have to make sure we have somewhere to go to cool off, or I will faint. It's so hot here right now that just walking keely takes it out of me!

And Anything SOUR!

Introducing...

It's Baby Top Gun! Mr. and I had our first appointment today, and we are pleased to announce that our little one is growing right on track! The heartbeat was strong and loud, and we even got to see him move around!! He shook his little arms and legs around too!! As for me, I was a nervous wreck ALL day long... It started this morning when I woke up with Mr. as he headed off for work. I figured it would be a good idea to wake up super early and eat breakfast (bagel and two corn dogs...) Hey, don't judge my corn dogs for breakfast :)

By the time lunch time rolled around, I was so nervous I thought I was going to faint. Mr. managed to clam me down and before I knew it, we were sitting in the clinic waiting to be seen. In typical Mrs. Top Gun fashion, my nervousness led to my blood pressure being elevated, which led to me having to get my pressure read manually like 10 times... Ugh. Eventually it went down, and all was well. I also became best friends with the restroom in the OB/GYN clinic, as I managed to use it a lovely 5 times within the span of my hour visit. Love that baby bladder! After the exam, Mr. came into the room and we saw this:

Baby Top Gun!

We are both so blessed to know we have created a new little life, and thankful that he is doing well and growing!

Congrats, Mr. Top Gun!

Today's the day...

Mr. Top Gun pinned Captain!! In usual lovely Air Force fashion, he was of course, not here... He was off flying around this world on a mission, and sadly I wasn't able to congratulate him in person. So, I settled for this when I signed onto skype later this evening...

He had just gotten into his room, and had already changed out of his flightsuit, but I was happy to see him with his flight cap and his shiny new Captains Bars! Hopefully I shall have him in my arms in the next few days!

Weekend fun with the Top Guns

This weekend was rather low key for us, due to me feeling nauseous and tired as heck. So, when Friday rolled around the last thing I had in mind was getting dressed up and trying to go to dinner anywhere. These days, my schedule consists of sleeping, eating a small meal, napping, eating dinner, napping again, eating a snack and then going to bed. I swear, I will be glad when this sleepy phase is over with! It is torture for me to drag out of our comfy oversized bed and go to the Commissary (which I have to do tomorrow... UGH!) Mr. called me from work and asked if I had plans for dinner, because some of our god friends (and another flyboy,) asked if they could tag along with us for dinner. Ok... I need to figure out dinner plans... ASAP!

My first choice was booked on Friday, so I called Yoshi's which I have blogged about before (it's an uber famous sushi joint here,) and luckily got reservations for all four of us! Mr. was concerned that I wasn't going to be able to find anything to eat, since tuna (my fave) is off the menu for the next seven months... but, I reminded him that salmon, shrimp, and crab are safe to eat. I somehow managed to get dressed and we all thoroughly enjoyed dinner, me especially, who ordered not one sushi roll but two, and also ate every last bit of my teriyaki chicken dinner. Mind you, that the dinner consisted of: rice, miso soup, japanese salad, assorted tempura and chicken... Hey, eating for two, right? ;)

After dinner I mentioned that I needed (yes, needed people!) Yogurtland. It's kinda like a Pinkberry, in that you choose from a variety of assorted fro-yo flavors, then put what ever toppings tickle your fancy on top. In my case, I chose the double cookies and cream and the vanilla wafer fro-yo, and topped mine off with strawberries, kiwi, grapefruit, pineapple and mango. Mr. chose chocolate, vanilla and peanut butter fro-yo, and topped his off with: Cheesecake bites, chocolate pieces, oreo cookies and peanut chocolate candies. Guess whose treat was healthier? ;) We then came home and I proceeded to crawl into bed for a two hour nap. See, I really do just eat and sleep, and eat and sleep these days!
