Well...Little Mack had quite an exciting weekend!!

Friday night was the Faith and Tim concert. It was awesome (though the show 5 years ago was a tad bit better - the chemisty between Faith and Tim just wasn't the same this time around - though the stage setup and our seats ROCKED!!) Poor Roy - Little Mack is going to grow up liking country music after this concert and Rascal Flatts a month ago :)

Saturday, I was in a minor accident - don't worry, Baby and I were unharmed - though I can't say the same for my car. Some idiot girl went to change lanes and almost hit the car in front of me, she swerves partially back into her lane allowing the other car to get passed her, then she immediately heads back into my lane and hits the front of my car and ends up pushing my car into a parking lot (despite my honking incessantly!) In the end, she got the ticket - and a lecture about how it is ultimately her responsibility to make sure the lane is clear before merging over :P

Sunday, Dan and I went to the Diamondbacks/Dodgers game. We had a blast! The field is covered and air conditioned during the hot summer months, and is just awesome. Sadly, the D-backs lost 6-3 :(

So that was our weekend. Tonight we're back on the house hunt. We've got 4 houses to look at and my fingers are crossed. I'd really like to get into a house before the end of the year (if not sooner because Little Mack is due at the beginning of March and our lease is up Feb 14!! That's just insanity).

As for the rest of the week, it'll be a short one with Labor Day coming up. We're heading down to Rocky Point, Mexico for some fun in the sun...not that we can't get that here in AZ, but still!

Whoa Baby!

Well, today is the day. I'm officially in the second trimester - which means anyone reading this has gotten my announcement email. It's such a relief, though I wasn't at all sure it would be. I think it's slowly becoming more real...the uncertainty fading. Roy is talking about the baby more often...even buying salads for us to split because "someone has to make sure the baby is getting the right food"...haha! My belly is growing bigger by the day...and yes, I've already had to buy maternity pants. The pic to the right was taken at about 11 weeks...I think I'm even bigger now. I'll try to take these regularly so you can all watch me get as big as a house :)

This was too cute not to post

Lesson Learned...

Today I learned a VERY important lesson:

Pregnant women should NOT try and take out the garbage - the smell is enough to make you sick for the rest of the day!!

Getting ready to spread the word...

Well, it's August 17, 2006 and there's one week to go before most of you will see this. I'm 12 weeks today, and had my second prenatal visit. Everything looks good, and we were able to hear a strong heartbeat using the Doppler at the office. The nurse practitioner said that hearing the heartbeat is a VERY good sign, and that the risk of miscarriage drops significantly when this occurs. Needless to say, it was a HUGE relief.

It's seems like ever since I found out I was pregnant (which was June 30th by the way), I've been trying to remain positive. With my history, this wasn't easy...but I finally feel like I can breathe a sigh of relief, and can start digging into the plans for our little one :)
