Week 8 ;-)

It is simply amazing what happens when your pregnant.

This is what is happening this week...

Your baby is now 5/8 of an inch long, about the size of a kidney bean. New this week: Webbed fingers and toes are poking out from your baby's hands and feet, his eyelids practically cover his eyes, breathing tubes extend from his throat to the branches of his developing lungs, and his "tail" is just about gone. His arms have lengthened, too, and his hands are now flexed at the wrist and meet over his heart. His knee joints have formed, and his feet may be long enough to meet in front of his body. In his brain, nerve cells are branching out to connect with one another, forming primitive neural pathways.

Scrunchy 80's hair and Acne...

I swear... by the end of this pregnancy... I could look like one of these "gals"

The things us women go through, just to have a baby! I don't know if it is the hormones or what... but my hair has gone to the dogs!

When I was little I couldn't stand these curls on my head. I thought I always looked like cousin IT. It was outragious! Then (thanks to a Catholic girl school retreat) I couldn't get enough of the curly hair. I was convinced it pretty much summed up my personality. Crazy and out of control ;-)

Now, as I sit here prego... my hair is like half straight, half curly, half 80's hair band scrunchy curly... UGH! Where will my personality be without my crazy curly hair :) Just Kidding. It just amazes me, daily, how everything in your life is turned topsy turvy.

Then to top off the perpetual bad hair day... I have acne... in the weirdest place. On my chin line. Like on my neck and my chin. It is so weird. I am giving my self au natural facials on a weekly basis and trying to exfoliate at least twice a week, but come one.

Why can't I be one of those beautiful glowing people, like my friends. They were so pretty and happy, and they didn't look like they just became prom date of the year for Ducky in Pretty and Pink.

Oh how I love being prego!

Hypersensitive Smell... Holy Schmole!!

OH MY GOSH. Who knew pregnancy could bring such amazing and crazy changes to your body!! This smell thing has really been getting to me. The other night Matt was having a glass of wine, the poor thing was trying to wind down, and I swear I could smell it from a mile away. I could have sworn he was drinking everclear, or he'd driven down to KY and bought some Moonshine. It is so crazy!

I am reading this book and the woman talks about going outside, trying to relax and take deep breaths, and all of a sudden her neighbors started grilling some burgers. She says she could have told you, they put a live cow on that grill and started roasting.

I mean seriously, who knew a baby, the size of a grain of salt, could make you do the weirdest things.

I have to say, with all the puking (granted I am only on week 7) and all the hypersensative smell, I wouldn't change it for the world! I luv luv LOVE it!!

BIG NEWS!

I am not really supposed to tell anyone, until 3 months, simply because of what happened last time... but no one reads this anyway ;-)

M and I found out we are pregnant... again! YEAH! At first, to be honest, I was scared out of my witts, but now I am just so happy, I can't keep it in any longer!!

As of yesterday I am 7 weeks. We have been to the doc twice, just to make sure, and it looks like everything is in the right spot and my HCG levels are doubling! We are so excited, and hopefully this one goes better than the last one!

Keep your fingers crossed and the prayers coming :)

A tearful, rainy day...

One tear for my Giants, who lost to the Cowgirls last night. Thanks to Tony Romo! I guess God is crying too because it is pouring down rain here ;-)

Happy Anniversary to US...

3 years... woo hoo!

Well folks, we have officially made it to 3 years.

I can't believe where we have come in the past 3 years. It seems like it was yesterday, and then I look around, and realize, we have come a LONG way!

It has been amazing, and I have a feeling, in the next few years, maybe even this year ;-) there could be some grand new surprises!

Ahhh... to be loved. It feels so great!

Dad's Birthday

Well, I have to admit... my whole life I have been a daddy's girl!!

What would I do without my daddy? Life just wouldn't have been the same! And today is his birthday... he turns 54! Man, he is old :)

Last night my mom treated him to a couples massage (for their 27th anniversary) and today she has hooked him up with a spa package, that includes a body polish and facial, and dinner at a very romantic place ;-) She is so thoughtful!

Also, in 3 days is my anniversary... woo hoo! 3 years and counting!

Happy Birthday Daddy... I love you with all my heart... you #1 Daddy's girl!
