12 Weeks

So guys remember that big announcement I was going to tell you guys about? Well it’s here. I am pregnant.

Yes, this was quite unexpected and I had a 16 and pregnant moment of what am I going to do? Then I realized I was 28, stable in my career and could handle the responsibility. Especially if I decided to do some deeds to land me in this position. At first I was nervous, this is my first child, and now that the shock is over and I am done obsessing about the amount that daycare is, I am happy. So this is why I have talked about naps and exhaustion, the 1st trimester is rough! Now that I have some of my mojo back, I am doing all I can to be and stay active. I’ve already had some weight gain, and the majority of that is going up a few bra sizes. HA! So I shall blog about the journey of being a 1st time mother and all of it’s occurrences. Maybe I should change my blog to Life as Pregnant Sharde. HAHA Stay tuned.

Weekly update

I’ve been trying to get back into being consistent with my blog, but it appears, I have not been doing so well!

I have a few things to announce:

• I started school again and I will be taking 6 hours of grad courses
• I finally have a lot more energy going on around here for a minute there I thought I would just be like a bear and hibernate
• I will be doing two 5k’s one is in April.
• I will be taking a road trip to ATL with my Dad!

 

I have some other very exciting things to announce in the coming weeks and you will be floored. “-)

This past week I have been reading for my classes, making sure my calendar is marked so I will not forget any assignments. I got my dog a nice little haircut and he is liking it I think. I plan on doing more dog parenty things with him. I need to step up my activity as a dog parent. Chasing him and playing fetch can only go so far. Well, here are some pics!

Weekend Recap

 

It twas the weekend!

It came and it went! At least for me it did. I am working weekends this month so my weekends are like any old weekday for most people.Minimal social activities and lots of Football watching. This weekend some epic Football was played for Divisional Finals in the NFL. I am going to say that Seattle impressed me! I was surprised at the Saints. My Patriots won! The Chargers made great effort to try to win but no dice!

 

Also, my dog has decided to bark at Lord knows what in the middle of the night. Last night I had had it. I love his protectiveness that all his little 12 lbs have to offer, but excessive barking at imaginary intruders wore me out. So his little life might have been threatened at 3:30am . The most I threaten my lovely dog, is him “going to his room” (his crate) which he hates. My dog loathes incarceration. Crates, and Leashes are his worst nightmare. So he came back to my bed and cuddled.

This up and coming week I am back in grad school taking two courses and trying to get back into workout mode. I have been a sloth, of all sloths! 7lbs of slothfulness to be exact. Hope someone has more plans than me! I may make crab cakes. I have had a taste for them lately! Until next time my fellow bloggers!

New Year!

We are moving into the new year!

Well this can be exciting! For me things are moving along. I have had some unexpected things happen in my life……..

I will blog about them later but some things I can tell you is, I am becoming a home owner this month! I will also be in my second semester of Grad school and I am looking for new opportunities within my company! I took a hiatus on working out, not because I wanted to, because my energy levels went down the drain! But I am back! I am ready to conquer the workout world! HAHA. I do not think I have any New Years resolutions. Oh Maybe just one. Become a business analyst. There is always some career goal I want to achieve and this is it.

 

So did any one miss me??? LOL
