Nothing new

Life is pretty much predictable for us lately. Ed is busing working, trying to get us out of our lovely debt. I am busy working trying to be patient for this baby to grow bigger inside of me. Im still in that dreaded "fat" stage. Where I cant fit into my old shirts anymore, but Im still too small to fit into maternity clothes. It is weird to let my stomach all hang out though! It goes against everything I have practiced my whole life! Suck it in... suck it in. A few weeks ago I caught myself still trying to suck in, mostly when we were out in public. I find I cant do that very well anymore. It hurts :) Its starting to be very uncomfortable to lay on my stomach... not that I did it a whole bunch before.. but now that I find I dont have that option anymore... I've been wanting to do it!
I've been reading in my pregnancy book that Mom bought for me and looking at all the pictures of how the baby is supposed to look at this stage...11 weeks. Wow. It felt so good to hit the double digits! I cant believe how many more weeks I still need to go until the end. Now that I am counting by weeks... I find they tend to drag on.. and on and on. Im still convinced one of the best parts about becoming a Mom.... is not having to work anymore. Well.... maybe just a change of careers is a better way of putting it :) It will still be a ton of work. I cant wait to see him... yes we're both convinced its a boy! Ed and I both have had dreams it was a boy and I cant see a pretty princess of a girl making me feel this sick all the time! Besides, seeing how I was correct on my last dream prediction... Im feelin' good about this one!
Oh I almost forgot... I just wanted to say a quick congratulations to my brother-in-law Roberto on his recent engagement! He asked Mary-Ellen Purnell to be his beautiful bride :) Really, we were totally expecting it. AND as I am married to the best friend and brother of the groom to be... I get all the inside information early :) They have chosen the 20th of July to be married and are already well into the planning mode. Its an amazing and exciting time and I wish all the best for them! Congrats you guys!

BIG NEWS

And by "big" we mean "little" and by "Little" we mean "very very tiny"! Yes - you've guessed it...we're having a baby! Most of you already know by now but we thought we'd post it anyways. We're due in November so its still very far away but we're trying to be patient. We have some excited family members as the only Grandchildren on my side are in Australia, and it is the first grandchild on Ed's side. My mother-in-law is finding it hard to believe she still has 7 months to wait. Just wanted to say a congratulations to my sister in law Amanda who just announced that she is also pregnant with their 4th and due a month before I am! I can hardly wait to see the new arrivals!
