A Soft Face

Today I had a Mary Kay facial. It was nice. The girl that came over was very kind and not pushy. She did not tell me that everything I am currently doing is wrong and will ultimately make me look hideous, wrinkled, and will stop working soon anyway. I have been told these things in the past at Mary Kay demos. Anyway, after she left I was walking around feeling my face and thinking how soft it was. When I saw my mom I had her feel my face and said, "it's really soft huh?" She then said to me, "ya, but you already had really soft skin." I believe my mom because last night I had a major headache so I got out of bed, left our apartment, went upstairs, and asked her to rub my face, neck, and head in hopes the massive headache would leave me without medication. Normally, I just take meds because I'm not that patient with pain but with the pregnancy I try to use other methods first. So, she had thoroughly felt my face just last night and she said, "I was thinking how soft it was last night when I rubbed your face." So, Mary Kay or not, (even though the facial did feel nice) I have a soft face and that made me feel really good today.

Out For A While

I've been out for a while. I'm 15 weeks pregnant now and I'll be honest, I don't remember my first pregnancy being this painful as I stretched. But at least the nausea is leaving me and I'm able to actually go out and do some now. I don't know how I will do this again someday with two children, but that's my plan for now. I hope we find out the gender of the baby next month. I'm pretty sure it's a boy, partly because I've wanted a girl for so long (or a sister for that matter) and odds are not with me at this point, and partly because I really FEEL like it's a boy. If I'm wrong then wonderful, if I'm right then wonderful. We already have a boy name and no girl names seem to fit anyway. We will see I guess.
School has started again and that means my hubby's schedule changes. I am grateful this is the last semester of undergrad stuff. It means we are getting somewhere even though it's been a slow process. Truthfully, it's been right for us.
We have switched my son to a toddler bed. The crib was no longer safe for him and he's doing pretty well in the bed. We hope the going to bed part gets easier but I'm sure it will with time. All changes take a bit to get used to.
