Wedding reception and 3 Months - 6 more to go!

This Saturday Stephen and I went to a wedding reception of one of Stephen's oldest friends. Stephen met the guy on the second day of college in Auburn back when they were 17 or 18 years old. The guy and his wife both work in Antarctica for 6 Months out of the year and come back to US for the other 6. This was not their actual wedding, they got married in Antarctica back in December. So they were holding a reception here for all their family and friends. Unfortunately, I managed to forget my camera once again and so do not have any pictures of the reception. Hopefully, they will post some online and I can post some here.

When we got home I realized that it was the 16th of May, which meant that I was exactly 3 months pregnant based on the first day of my last period. Woo-Hoo! Only 6 months and 1 week to go or as my ticker keeps reminding me - 189 days! :) Here is me at 3 months pregnant (please ignore the double chin and crazy half-smile, it was almost midnight and I had been on my feet, in those heels, for 6+ hours. Actually, I almost cropped my head out of the pictures :) )


Oh, and the number one silly reason I love being pregnant is....... boobs! Which any gal that has not been blessed with ample cleavage will tell you is ALWAYS a bonus! ;)

I am still here

Just wanted to let everybody know that everything is going fine here. This pregnancy is kicking my tushie :) I am constantly hungry and sleepy! I am at 11 weeks right now, and I am hoping that once I am done with my first trimester, I will feel more up to doing stuff, including updating this blog.

We are still taking pictures of our family, though and I did update our picture archive this past weekend. So, if you want to see some new pictures (including the Easter pics) please click here.

I guess the hormones are starting to kick in...

I put a Lilipie.com pregnancy ticker on my sidebar on the left and now it is depressing me! According to the ticker I have 216 days to go. 216!!! Come on! Could not they use weeks instead? I know I have over 30 weeks left, but that just sounds so much better than 216 days.

The Belly-Bump-Fairy visits again

It has been almost a month since I posted. I guess I went through a writer's block back in March and the longer I did not post, the harder it became to come back to posting. So much stuff has happened in the last four weeks. The most important of it being...

that Stephen and I are expecting our second child on November 23rd. We are super excited. We had our first doctor's appointment on Monday and everything looks great. The baby is exactly on target with the size and the heart beat looks very strong. Here is the first picture of our baby:


Stephen thought that the little pointy thing on the lower edge of the baby is a little wee-wee :) If you click on the picture, you will see that it is actually a measuring cursor :) So the sex of the baby is still in the air and will be for the next 8 to 12 weeks. I do not think that I would be able to wait until the delivery to find out if it is a boy or a girl.

Oh, my god! My body definitely remembers how to be pregnant! I am only 2 months pregnant and already look like I am 4 months:
