*Sing-songy voice* I have a computer, I have a computerrrrr!

There are some really great things about it too!  Let me put it into list form so it’s easier for you to read and understand the many great qualities of this computer.

• It turns on
• It doesn’t turn off if it becomes unplugged
• The screen is in one piece
• It has a functioning motherboard

EVERYTHING I EVER WANTED IN A COMPUTER!

Tharr she is, in all hurr glory!

Eh hem.  Please excuse the minor freak out above, I’ll blame that on…um…PURE FREAKIN’ EXCITEMENT, THAT’S WHAT.

Sorry.
Now, back to our regular scheduled programming.

So hello everyone, it’s great to see you all again.  I know I’ve made you promises about blogging before, and totally understand if you don’t want to believe me THIS time.  But I’m super, duper, for realzies, 100 thousand bagillion and eleventy seven precent sure that I’m back for good.  Nothing can stop me from blogging now!  (Well, unless this computer breaks too.  Which would be very unfortunate and would add to make a total of FOUR broken computers in my house.  Ack.)

I am pretty sure the devil himself came to my home and broke these computers.  Because, REALLY.  What are the odds of breaking THREE computers in A YEAR.  Slim.  But apparently I am just awesome like that.

Those of you who actually pay attention may be wondering a few things at this point of the post.  Such as:
“WTF is the point of this post?”
Or maybe even:
“Why did she title this post talking about Monday?”

If you’re one of those people asking the first question, I’m sorry.  You seem crabby.  There is no point to this entire blog so I have a question for YOU.  “WTF is the point of you being here if you’re just going to be a Debbie Downer?”   (Any of my readers named Debbie?  I’ve always wanted to ask, do you get called this often?  Are you angered that people associate your name with being a downer?  I am so sorry you have to deal with people using your name in such a way.  Please don’t hate me.)

If you’re asking the second question, YAY GOLD STAR.  Yours truly (that means me, duh.) is going to be “The Monday Girl” for the website WhyClothDiaper.  I’ll be sharing my thoughts and findings all about cloth diapers over there every Monday, so you better check it out!

Oh dear, I am sorry.  That was rather demanding of me.  I kindly ask that you please view the things I write if and when it is most convenient for you.  Better?  Good.  Today we’re working on our manners, boys and girls.

Enjoy your Fridays everyone!  Eat something delicious and keep reading PeasAndCoos!

I haven’t had internet lately and (if you’re wondering) the WordPress app for the iphone totally blows so that was a fail.  I tried to update.  I really, really tried!

Can I make it up to you?

Good!

Well, hopefully from the title of this blog you can tell that…I’M PREGNANT!  WOO!  I’ve been wanting to blog about all my fun preggo stories so be prepared for LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS of posts coming your way in the next couple of days.

Tomorrow I will be 14 weeks and I’m super excited for when the whole “oh the second trimester is amazing and I have all my energy back” feeling will hit me.  It hasn’t yet   I suppose you all are wanting to see a picture of some sort?  Well of course.  I would too.  (Side note: what is with the fascination of belly bump pics and ultrasound pics?  I find when a friend of mine is pregnant I’m always itching to see pictures!)

So never fear, of COURSE I’m going to share with you!

Wee one at 10w6d

There he/she is!  My alien baby   I’ve heard his/her heartbeat twice now and seen it on the ultrasound once.  It was amazing hearing the heartbeat for the first time and that’s when I fell in love.

Everything seems to be normal so far which is fantastic news.  I’ve been having fun dealing with constant headaches for the past few weeks and have been pretty sore.  VERY tired as well and I can.not.wait. until I get my energy back.  Seriously sick of being tired, but I know this is all for baby and it’ll be worth it in the long run.  Hey, it’s already worth it. 

Itty Bitty Baby Bump 12w6d

And here’s the itty bitty baby bump!  Actually, for those of you who know me or who have seen how freakishly skinny I was pre-pregnancy, I’m HUGE!  It’s been interesting.  My jeans definitely don’t fit anymore because my hips and thighs have gotten bigger.  And preggo boobs?  Don’t even get me started on those!  A nice little “perk” to being pregnant I say.  (Haha, get it!?  PERK.  Yay for boobie jokes!)  The sticker on my belly says “I am not a nugget” although I am rather tempted to call him/her my little nugget.

So maybe I will update again today or maybe you will just have to wait until tomorrow.  I’ll share with you some of my weird dreams I’ve been having and the delicious (or crazy?) foods I’ve been eating.  Either way, keep reading and prepare to be entertained!

Okay, so I’ve got some good news and some bad news.  Which would you like first?  The bad news?  Alright then.

This post has nothing to do with cows.

I know, I know.  I’m sorry to disappoint you all.  I really hope you continue reading but if not, I completely understand.  I like cows a lot, too.  Be warned that if you do continue reading it is possible you will be entertained and get a prize at the end.  Just sayin’.

So now it’s time for the GOOD NEWS!  (Yaaaaay!)

I’m back, bloggers!

Sorry I fell off the face of the Earth, I just get very distracted sometimes and really suck at keeping up with this blog.  I know I’ve said it before but I’m REALLYREALLYREALLY going to try SUPERDUPER hard to keep with it.  Just because I know you miss me ohso much.

So what’s new in my life you ask?  Well, I bet you didn’t really ask that, but I’m going to tell you anyway like-it-or-not.  That’s the beauty of this blog.  It’s mine so if I want to share things with you and pretend you ask me silly questions then away I go!

A lot has changed in the past….year(?) since I’ve blogged.  So what’s changed?  (Here I go pretending you’re asking things again!)  My hair is longer and I’ve gotten older which are by far the most amazing changes that have happened.  (Joke, in case you didn’t catch it.)  But don’t think that those changes aren’t true.  My hair really has gotten longer and I work hard on growing older every single day.  True story.

• I stopped nannying for a little while.  Why?  I don’t know.  But here I am wanting to nanny again.  I love kids and that’s something that will never change.  Maybe I just needed a break?  Who knows.  I plan on going to college for either Early Childhood Education or Elementary Education with a minor in Sign Language.  Because that’s just fun.

• I ended a relationship of almost 4 years.  I needed change-BAD.  I needed to do what I wanted and what made me happy.  So I did.  Friends have been lost in the process but it’s made me realize who’s really there for me.  I mean, friends support you and what makes you happy…right?  So I guess I should rephrase that to say “friends” have been lost.

“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they’re right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”
— Marilyn Monroe

• After ending my old relationship I began a new one.  A big part of life is living, loving, and being happy.  This new relationship is bringing me all of that with a cherry on top.  (And maybe even a few extra rainbow sprinkles.)

• I stopped using Twitter.  It was so hard, and it wasn’t something I wanted to do (long story that I probably won’t tell you but I’m pretending you didn’t ask for the story so HA.)  But now?  I’m baaaaack!

So that’s the summary of what’s new with me.  I’m back and I’m hopefully here to stay.  So hop on my wild rollercoaster ride life again and enjoy the ups, downs, loop-de-loops, and corkscrews with me.  Please don’t toss your cookies.  I can’t handle that and I don’t need my blog to be one big vomity mess.

So now for those of you who were really only in it for the cows…

A fake cow.  And 17 year old me being a punk towards fake cow.
Enjoy.

*What’s a reader?  In short, a website where you can read posts from sites you follow all in one place.  Look into it!  My favorite is Google Reader, but there are many others.  Do your research and try one out!

I suck.

But really, I’m sorry to my readers who have, well…wanted to read!  I went on a spur-of-the-moment vacation to California and was without internet.  THEN I got back to Wisconsin and moved.  That’s right, out of the MIL’s house!  Once again, no internet until today when it got installed.

Don’t worry, I’ll make it up to you.

I have lots to tell you.

I hope everyone accepts my apology when I say:

I’m so sorry for this super-lame layout and very basic…everything.

I’m working on it folks, and I promise that I’ll be updating constantly and getting it to be even bigger and badder than before!
