My cousin Kelly and I in July-- up top and A co-worker and I about 2 months ago...

Okay...so I just have to share that today I turn 14 weeks pregnant. Starting the second trimester. Yay!.

Day 1-Introduce, recent picture, 15 interesting facts.

Okay...hmmm...why does this always turn out harder than I thought.

My name is Michelle, but everyone calls me Missy. I just turned 31. I live with my husband and our dog Moxie and our cat AJ. I worked full time until about 5 weeks ago....Boo. My husband works full time and works really hard to support our family. I love to read, I love celebrity gossip, I enjoy shopping, although not so much when it comes to clothes for me. I am a very emotional person who wears my heart on my sleeve and gets my feelings hurt very easily. I am sensitive and really caring and thoughtful. I enjoy cooking, as long as someone will eat it, the more the merrier. I tend to have lower self esteem. I had lap band surgery in Feb and lost 60 pounds...and am scared about gaining it all back with being pregnant.

15 facts -

1. I am 31 and sleep with woobie shorts.
2. I have broken the same ankle twice, once while playing mini-golf.
3. I am addicted to carbs. I don't need chocolate or ice cream...just give me Kraft mac and cheese (of course I can not eat pasta since my surgery but I try all the time)
4. I drive a 1998 Honda Cr-V that just rolled over to 200K miles and runs like a champ!
5. I am a hopeless romantic.
6. I am scared of thunder and being home alone at night (overnight).
7. My husband and I dated a LONG time before getting married...6.5 years.
8. I have always had issues with food, and just long to be a "normal size"
9. I am sensitive to noise. Loud TV, yelling, movies all bother me.
10. I am afraid of the dentist and usually have to take sedatives to go. Although I put on my big girl pants a few weeks ago and took none since I am pregnant. Not in any hurry to do that again.
11. I really enjoy reading blogs, lots and lots of them, and I do not know one person in real life.
12. I am a very thrifty person with money. If it is not on sale, I do not buy it.
13. I love love animals and would be the crazy animal lady if my husband let me.
14. We are super cheap with our heat and did not turn it on until December last year...we keep it set at 50 all winter long and dress in layers and its cold! We go a whole year without 1 oil delivery. (note: this will change when we have babies. We just had a new furnace with central air installed in June. Please do not call DCF!)
15. My husband works a later shift..1-9 pm and gets hom at around 9:30-10:00...therefore by the time he eats and relaxes he doesnt come to bed until 3 or 4 am. We hardly ever go to bed at the same time....
