YUM

We spent a lovely Conference Sunday with Anne and her sister. We sat, we watched, we slept, and we ate. Boy, did we eat. I wish I had taken pictures, but you know how one of the 7 deadly sins is gluttony? Yeeaahhhh.

One of the things we ate were these. Holy mother of breakfast food, these were divine. They are so warm and gooey and amazing and delicious and they will definitely make you sick if you eat more than one. But what a wonderful one it is.

Things are going well on the fetus front, no updates or changes to report. Still biding our time till we can find out what we are having and get the fun going.

I really need to start packing. We leave on Wednesday for Wisconsin, and dang if I have done anything to get ready. Most of my camera gear is ready to go, but with my brain lately, it will be a miracle if I can get myself there with a camera in hand. Please pray I don't forget any of the essentials.
We will be flying in to Chicago and driving up to Wisconsin. Anyone know of any attractions between Chicago, IL and Appleton, WI we cant miss? I'm thinking "Worlds Largest Cheese Wheel" or something. Make it worth my while.

I guess I should include a few more details about the whole baby thing.

Due: May 10, 2009
Which just so happens to be our third anniversary. And mothers day. I was excited at first, but now I'm hoping he/she comes early, cuz I really don't want to share those 2 days. No good for anyone. Sorry, kid, your birthday is canceled this year. Momma and daddy are going to the BAHAMAS! (also, to bring out the fat kid in me, there is a really amazing mothers day brunch that I look forward to every year, and a hospital stay would really mess up that plan)

I am 9 weeks along according to my ultrasound, and things look good so far. I have had very little nausea, but have been very sleepy. I'll take it. We got to see and hear the heartbeat on Monday, so cool!

For now we are just sitting back and waiting for the exciting stuff to happen. It still doesn't seem quite real, just because not much has changed in my day to day life. (other than more naps than usual!) We are anxiously awaiting to find out if it will be a boy or girl (sidebar poll, anyone?) so we can move forward with the planning details. I'm really loving this for a girl...NOT, however, loving the price. If it turns out to be a girl, I'm tossing the idea around of making my own version of this. Can't decide yet if I am completely crazy or not. Jason's grandma has made lots of them, she says it is easy and she will help me. (still though....I can sew a straight-ish seam, and thats kinda the end of my sewing abilities.) We'll see.

Also, calling all pregnant people and have-been pregnant people: when can I start blaming things on "pregnancy brain"? I am not far along at all but I swear I am so spacey lately. I can't remember where I put things 30 seconds later, I forget everything, I lose my train of thought, lock my keys in my car...you name it.

All in all, its been a very fun and exciting experience so far, and we are looking forward to the rest of it!
