12 weeks and growing

Here's what is going on this week!

I'm almost at the end of my first trimester! Our baby's now approaching 3 inches long and weighs about half an ounce. But that teeny body sure has a lot of remarkable detail! This week, our little guy's or girl's face continues to take shape, with his nose and chin becoming more refined. And he's now got -- count 'em -- 10 fingernails and toenails decorating his mini digits. As our baby's muscles start to bulk up, he's getting busy stretching and kicking, although he's still too teeny for you to take notice. But if you touch your tummy, and could see his response, he'd probably be wriggling!

Napa - 11 weeks pregnant and sick

Stephen's wedding was a lot of fun. Don't worry I'm not drinking any wine in this picture, just lemonade.

Napa was so hot! Living in Ventura for so long made me forget what dry 98 degree heat felt like. Napa was the first time I understood what morning sickness felt like. I was pathetic! Tired, sick, and more tired and sick!

The wedding was beautiful. The heat had gone died by then. Everything was perfect.My bridesmaid dress was a different story though. I hadn't tried it on in 3 weeks and then I put it on the day of the wedding and I notice I have developed a little pooch. The dress fit a little funny, but I think I was the only one who noticed, or at least I would like to think that.

My mom looked lovely as usual. My grandma is on her left and her husbands mom is on the right. Good thing for the baby, he or she has great genes!

My dad and Stephen were a sight to see as well. This is a picture from the day before the wedding. Stephen and Megan got married on an amazing golf course in Napa under and oak tree. The setting was perfect!

Week 9 - not much change

Not much change, but there's no complaints about that.

There are a few things that make me sick; the smell of raw meat ( no matter what the date is I swear it's gone rancid); this has got to be the worst. Actually after thinking about raw meat I don't think I want to go on about things that make me sick.

I haven't really craved too many things either; tangerine juice from Trader Joes, cherries, and sour dough english muffins are about the only things I can't live without. I would live on those three foods right now if I could!

There's also the issue of psyco chic and the weeping woman. These are two personalites that I have developed. I would say it's rare for them to surface, but every once in a while it's hard to hold them back. Pray for Blair that these alter egos would stay clear from our home.

Well that's all for now. I saw the doctor last week and he said everything is good. In 3 weeks I go back and we get to listen to the heart beat (Lord willing)! I am SO excited for that appointment!
