the training was worth it...

thank god for labor marathons. i mean, it's not like i have anything else to do. you know, like unpack the hundreds of boxes still leftover from moving, no need to do the dishes, wash the car, water the garden. no need to clean the litter boxes, vacuum the carpets, do the laundry, exercise, go outside, get groceries, eat, go to the bathroom, blink...no need for any of that when i've got, like, 18 hours of crime scene investigating to do. it's a dirty job, but some one's gotta do it.

13 weeks

just finishing up my 1st trimester and here's what's developed...

okay, okay, i know i need a tan. but i'm trying to preserve my youthful skin tone so that i can be one hot mama.

holy crap, i'm going to be a mom. a mother. how did this happen?

oh ya, that's right.

yep, i'm nervous. you betcha. but do i doubt our decision to make a little tony jr. or mini me? not a chance. this is, by far, the best thing either of us has ever done. period.

grow baby grow!

so...what's new with you?

i met someone new yesterday.

who was it?

oh, no one special. just the HUMAN BEING THAT I'VE BEEN GROWING IN MY UTERUS.

i didn't mention? i'm 13 weeks pregnant. i know, i'm having trouble believing it too.

but yesterday, after i saw that little alien and verified that the 'flicker' on the screen was indeed a beating heart, well...i guess it seems pretty real now.

we're very excited. in fact my husband is so excited that he WENT GOLFING INSTEAD OF GOING TO THE APPOINTMENT. ya know, the one where the miracle of life is first documented?

at least it was a tournament. and he did tie for first after all.

anyway...that's all that's new around here.

so...what's new with you?

behind the times

tonight i joined facebook for the first time. and no, i'm not a freshman in college. it simply turns out that i know a good amount of people who keep in touch through this magical rabbit hole and apparently i can't spy on them unless i join the cult, er club, too. yay for me! and hi to all the people i'm about to pester.

hi. i've been gone for a while, but i'm back now. i'm sure everyone has been just dying to hear from me *wink*... just got back from visiting my family in colorado. mom and dad are moved into a new place and are loving life on the golf course (their back door is about ten feet from the 9th hole!). had a ball in the few short days i was there. here are some pics of the highlight of my trip...he's getting too big and too smart. i'm pretty sure i couldn't recite the preamble to the constitution at a mere 2 1/2 years old! and let me tell you about his golf technique!

no doubt, he will probably be the next tiger woods...
