This beautiful exchange

I might start doing this every once in awhile, just to give a brief update as to what’s going on with the baby. If you don’t care to know, you can skip these posts.
Yesterday, we had our Week 24 doctor’s appointment. Everything seems to be growing along smoothly, including my backside. I gained nine pounds [...]

The other day I found heart shaped pasta that I just HAD to buy. I know that it’s a frivolous purchase, but it’s food, and I can use it to make dinner on Valentine’s Day. So, now that I am going to make dinner rather that going out to eat, Tony has requested that I [...]

On a Sunday afternoon.
him: You’ve become just like the dog. All you want to do is eat, sleep and pee!
(To which, I just laughed. Can’t argue with the truth.)

Do you ever have those days when you just wake up and feel like you’re in the muck? That’s me, today. I could blame it on the dreary, cold weather outside, or the hormones, but I’m pretty sure it’s from the stressful circumstances that our little family is walking through. What I have been thinking [...]

These days, all I can think about is chocolate. I’ve craved anything from chocolate bars to chocolate pie with whipped cream on top. I enjoyed chocolate before the “big P”, but my desire for it seems to be increasing. I have tried to limit my intake of so much sugar by eating fruit or something [...]

The other night, Tony made a snarky comment, as he is prone to do, and my weapon of choice was “the stare”. To which he responded, “If I don’t wake up in the morning, I’ll know why.”
I found this list of things not to say to a pregnant wife on the internet and thought I’d [...]

Boy or Girl?
The other day, I played around with three different “prediction” tools online and all three of them said that our baby will be a girl. I still have a gut feeling that it’s a boy, but I have nothing to really base that on, except for a blurry sonogram picture. Our Catholic neighbor, [...]

me: So, I’m going to meet the man of my dreams in college and get married right after I graduate.
God: EEEEHHHH!
me: I’m going to have all of my kids before I’m 30 so that I can be a young mother.
God: EEEEHHHH!
me: I’m going to live in Bolivar for many years and play music.
God: EEEHHHH!
me: I’m [...]

“I have to go to the bathroom, again.”
“Already?”
“And, when we get home, can I have some bacon?”
“What’s with you and bacon these days?”
“I don’t know. Lately, all I want to eat is bacon.”
“You just can’t let me be the pregnant one, can you?”

On Friday night, Tony and I went to dinner down in the art district and participated in a gallery crawl. It’s much like a pub crawl, except that it’s a tour through several of the art galleries in the district, and there are no drink specials or drunkards laying on the side walks.
We ate at [...]
