This weekend went by in a heart beat. Maybe because I laid in bed most of the time. Saturday I got up early and met my Mother-in-Law to register for baby stuff. For all that think I did this really soon considering I'm 14 weeks along (3 months & 2 weeks) it was for Christmas and early shower purposes. Because Cale and I are leaving to go to NJ in December (Lord willing) we are having a shower early.

There was so much baby stuff. I was overwhelmed. So many choices and I kept saying, "which one should I get?" We went to Target and Baby's R Us. Sara, April, and Jamie, any thing I absolutely must have that you guys loved? I was told I need the whip warmer so that is on my Target registry. One thing I put on that I thought was cool was a rubber ducky that tells you if the water is too hot. I hope that works. I wish I knew what we were having because there was so many cut clothes. I just stuck to yellow and greens. We hopefully will find out before the shower and X-Mas and I'll add girl/boy things. Man, baby stuff is expensive! Maybe I need to get into the baby industry.

So after we did all that I was exhausted. I went home and slept from 3:30pm to 7pm. I did have a good time though and it made me want the baby to come sooner. I'm trying to enjoy my alone time with Cale right now because I know by May we will be busy with the baby. When we go out to dinner and hear kids screaming I turn to Cale and say, "are you ready for that?"

I really can't wait to get a camera so I can post pictures. I'll probably go picture happy so I can catch you all up to now. I love looking at Jenn, April, Jamie, & Sara's sites for the pictures. I've become addicted to this blog thing now. I check it every day.

Okay well I better get back to work. I'm actually going home in a little while due to bad bad heartburn. It has upset my stomach too. Ahh the joy of pregnancy.

Old Friends

I have just recently contacted a few old friends from college. How I miss those days in school. Not owing money for various things. However, I don't miss being married and now pregnant. I'm so happy to hear that April and Sara are pregnant too. And I think their due dates are close to mine. Too bad we live so far away from each other in TX. Cale and I are also trying to make a move to NJ. In Sept we learned that my Mom has lung cancer stage 4. I really want to be with her. Even if God does heal her I would like to be close to my parents when the baby comes. They had to watch Autumn (my niece) grow up from afar and I don't want that for this grandbaby. Unfortunately Cale's parents will have to do that for the time being. We might return to the south some day though.

I am in my 14th week and I feel a lot better. I've been pretty much dead to the world the past two months. Morning sickness hit me hard. I lost 7.5Ibs and could not keep anything done. Dryheaving and throwing up became a routine for me all day long. Working and being pregnant has to be the worst. At least I sit at a desk. I also have had major heart burn. Everyone says then the baby will have a lot of hair when it is born. Well it better have a full head with the heartburn I've had. I've had to get prescription meds for that and nausea. But like I said it is dying down now. I hope to enjoy my 2nd trimester.

Cale and I fly to NJ for Thanksgiving. I'm so excited. I haven't been home for almost 2yrs now. All the kids are coming home for the holiday. We want to spend this time with my Mom. She is in good spirits. She went through radiation to shrink her tumor on her rib, but not the one in her lung. After Thanksgiving she'll start chemo. She wants to do all she can to be around a lot longer. We will need any prayers anyone can give to get rid of the cancer. The family is staying positive though.

On our week in NJ I'm taking Cale to NY City for the first time. He's really excited. I haven't been in a while so I know we'll both enjoy it.

Well I hope to post pictures soon of my belly. It is growing a little, but you can't really tell with my clothes on. We are asking for a digital camera for Christmas. So fingers crossed.
