Just Checking In

17 WEEKS - Thanksgiving has come and gone. I had my monthly checkup yesterday. Everything is going along nicely. Heard the heartbeat and got the blood test for the Quad screen. I made my appnt for the next doc visit and ultrasound, Dec 27. We should find out the sex then. I've now gained 10 pounds, up to 168.

I've been feeling pretty good lately. The weather has been nice, which helps my mood.

We went to Thanksgiving dinner at Lindsay's house. She was a great hostess. During the long weekend we moved furniture around and got decorations down for Christmas. Ryan was SOOO excited about decorating the tree. We still need to put out the lights in the front yard. We also got a lot of Christmas shopping done over the break. I'd like another week off though. It was hard to come back to work.

1/3 of the way there

15 WEEKS (almost) - I'm feeling a lot better physically. I'm not nauseous at all anymore. I'm into the 2nd trimester now. I'm still wearing my regular clothes, but not sure for how much longer. I got the maternity clothes down out of the attic last weekend and went through them. Wasn't that depressing. Blech. My maternity clothes are sooo ugly. There are mat. clothes at Old Navy now, so hopefully this time I'll be a little more in style. Randy said we could go look this weekend.

I'm up to 164 now. So that's 6 pounds I've gained so far. It's all fat too. I have a tiny baby pooch, and a thicker layer of fat over everything. Isn't that great.

Work is still painfully slow. I wish it would pick up.

Ryan is acting so grown up lately. I've started to freak out about Kindergarten next year. I'm not ready to let him go out into the real world yet. :-( Will I ever be?

That's all for now...
