Quick update.....

Not much to blog about, so I thought I would just post pics:) I am now in my second trimester and can't wait to see Dr. Wynne next week. I really think I should have rented a fetal heart monitor because my anxiety is at an all time high! Why don't they at least see you 2x/month????

The baby is as long as a credit card right now......and growing!





I went to dinner with Kari, Kim
and Caroline last week. Kari
is 20 weeks and is
not finding out
what it is!






Today is Trent's birthday....breakfast in bed on the "You Are Special" plate with a candle in his breakfast burrito!

















Birthday boy.....morning after a terrible loss to the Aggies. Needless to say, he is not a happy camper!

Back by popular demand.....

ha, ha......just kidding! Kim and Taylor said that I haven't been keeping up with the blog! I have not posted in a long time as work has only gotten busier and the pregnancy symptoms haven't changed much (neither has my belly!). Soooooo......I thought this morning would be a good time to post because as I am watching "Sixteen and Pregnant" on MTV (yes, I said MTV), I am crying. How stupid is that? I don't even cry on "Terms of Endearment," but I am crying while watching teenagers on MTV. There's a pregnancy symptom for ya! In addition and on a little more disgusting note, I get skin tags all over my stomach and arms. Apparantly, this too is a symptom and BETTER STOP as soon as it is over! My cravings have not changed........sweets, sweets, sweets, sweets, Cherry Limeades and popcorn (lots of butter and salt). Therefore, I think the pregnancy is going to my thighs! I have NEVER been a "sweets" person as I never eat cake, pie, ice cream, etc. But now, I could eat: breakfast-pancakes/waffles, snack-cinnamon roll, lunch-popcorn, snack-Reese's peanut butter cups, dinner-popcorn, snack-chocolate chip cookies! Okay, I surely don't eat like this, but I could! That's all for this morning, and pictures to come soon. ***Kasey, do not "edit" this post! This pregnancy is also going to my brain.....my intelligence and common sense is disappearing at a rapid rate, seriously! Don't call me and make me feel stupid.***

"Look how much I've grown......"

I am now 11 weeks pregnant......almost 12 (Saturday). Each week, I read a book that describes the baby's size. The author makes crazy comparisons, and I am finally able to make more sense of the size. For example, at 4 weeks the baby was the size of a lentil bean. Really? The only reason I know what a "lentil" bean is because Megan Sasso's grandmother used to send her cans of lentil beans in the dorms! Last week the baby was the size of a "kumquat!" Once again, really? A kumquat sounds like something you would call the annoying kid in your 3rd grade class. Well.......now our little guy/gal is the size of a lime:) Something we actually see at the grocery store!


Also, this month Trent and I celebrate our 31st birthday.....last birthday as "non-parents." Next year, we will be Mommy and Daddy......yeaaaaaaaa! On my birthday, we think that we finally came up with a name IF we have a boy. Hmmmmmm, I bet you want to know what it is.........nope!

Ughhhhhh.....

I AM 11 WEEKS PREGNANT TODAY AND I CAN'T GET THAT STUPID CHICK UP THERE TO MOVE! DISREGARD THE "10 WEEKS AND 5 DAYS." NEXT WEEK WILL BE THE END OF MY FIRST TRIMESTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
