The Pee Count

The record so far in one night, not including going pee right before bed and right when I wake up, is 4 times. No wonder I haven't had a decent night's sleep in awhile.

Countdown to September 30th

How cool it was to see the heartbeat this morning! I can't believe there's actually something in me right now and I'm almost 10 weeks.

Because It's a Wednesday

mmm...carrot is my fav.
with a glass of milk, of course.
and yes, the frosting tastes as good as it looks.

Determine Your Home Decor Taste

I redid the quiz online to determine what my home design style is. I didn't feel like it reflected me appropriately. I think these results are more accurate.

46% Modern Elegance
31% Cottage Chic
23% French Eclectic

Take yours here.

Monday Morning Projects

It is a sweat-pants-wearin, tea-sippin, IndiaArie-listenin, and haven't-brushed-my-teeth-yet Monday morning for me. I am making cards and organizing my closet. It's chilly outside and I'd rather be in than out running my errands.

What are you up to this morning?

Recent Pics

I'm (hopefully) getting over a sickness that I've had for over a week now, so that's my excuse for not blogging lately. Instead, for your enjoyment, here's the recent photos off my camera.

In sequential order...


Picture taken before pregnancy was confirmed at Dr.'s office.

I gave Marlow his summer cut last week. Here's the "before."
And "after."
Samoas, Thin Mints, Tagalongs, oh my!

I saw this picture online. Reminds me of what a miracle this is.

Sick.

That's all I have to say.

Nap Regulation

I got up early today and went to the gym. We learned that spouses get a free membership at AMD's gym, so I'm definitely taking advantage of that. It is brand new and big and I saw only three other people there today. I walked on the treadmill for 20 minutes and did the elliptical for 30 minutes. I attempted to do some kind of ab machine but almost injured myself, so I stopped. I picked up a flyer on the way out that has a contact number so I can get a complimentary fitness exam.

Afterwards, I went home, took a shower, and worked for a few hours this morning. Then I ran some errands and came home and went to bed. I feel useless, requiring a 2-3 hour nap everyday. I feel like I'm wasting the day away and like I haven't accomplished much.

Tonight my old boss is taking out Chris and I for dinner to La Traviatta. We rarely go out to eat, so this is really a treat for us. Although, I do have to say that I've discovered food doesn't taste nearly as good anymore without wine. It just brings every element of taste to a whole new level. I can do without it for 8 months though.
