what's new?

no big changes still... i think i'll need a few more weeks. or maybe another month.

i helped my mom out at a baby shower this weekend, and there were three other pregnant women there - all of us were in different phases. the mommy-to-be, who we were celebrating, is due in dec. another one of her friends is two weeks behind her, another is 4.5 months along... and then there's me. i'm just counting down to week 12. but the ticker does say i'm under 200 days!!!

it's quite interesting how this mommy-to-be status has me noticing so many different things that i never would have before... stroller types, baby carriers, diaper bags. and i seem to be connecting with women who are mothers - on a whole new level. it's really quite amazing this whole process.

paul continues to be loving, fantastic, and never complains - despite my strange tendencies... like eating rice and beans and broccoli for dinner last night after i had made him pasta with chicken, mushrooms and broccoli (a more normal combination of foods).

i'm really excited about our next dr. appt. on oct. 24th. i hope we get to hear the thunder! and i've been contemplating a post of the sonogram pictures, but... we might have to wait until after the baby is born to post its very first picture of life.

we haven't had the energy for many adventures in the last month or so... so here's a pic of our trip to ny in august. hopefully the second trimester brings a little more excitment. i've heard a few people say that they felt the best they've EVER felt in their lives during the second trimester. i hope i'm like one of them!!!
