First Baby Present from Grammy

Groovy new diaper bag! Thanks Mom!!!!!!!

First Glimpse

Hey, it's okay, I can barely understand the picture and I had the help of a trained professional but...here's a guide. The baby's head is on the right, it's lying on its back with its left leg straight up in the air (that's on the left side of the picture).

The doctor was very happy with our progress she said the baby measures about six days ahead of its date, my mother credits my father's genes for this - trying to stay ahead of the crowd already! :)

It's all very crazy! Oh, and yes those buggy looking things on its head are its eyes, it looks a little like 1950's movie space aliens did...hey, it's LA, maybe Tom Cruise sent Scientologists out in the night to make me a pod to carry the true Alien or something weird! He he.

Doctor's appointment ran very late so I used this picture as my "absence slip." My boss is so excited and happy for me. She told me to go home and hug my tummy all weekend.

This is a very good Good Friday!!!

Okay...so that is interesting!

Two big things have happened since I posted yesterday.

(1) I had my doctor's appointment and I really like my doctor, his philosophy, his manner, etc. He says there is a chance that I am having twins so I am having an ultrasound on Friday to find out for sure.

-and-

(2) I went to lunch with Philip and Jameson, a farewell lunch since they are moving to Scottsdale next week...and we went to a sushi place and I discovered that there are still plenty of foods I can eat!!! Very happy about that.

More soon, I am sure.

Reality!!!!!!!

It's all been fun and games (if being deathly tired and moderately naseaus for three months can qualify as such) up to this point. Today is my first REAL doctor's appointment. I have been feeling great for the past week and a half so that means I really am in the second trimester. But now I am soooooooo nervous for the appointment, don't want to find out what I have done wrong so far.

I have given up all of my favorite foods - martinis, sushi, goat cheese, most fish, wine, deli sandwiches and diet coke. I have replaced them with other favorites - orange juice, anything from Taco Bell and cookies but....

My craving for sushi is getting to be a bit much. I can't have it but I can taste it in my mind. I keep thinking about nice bright thick slices of Toro on a little spot of wasabi and a nice bed of sticky rice. Sigh.

Pat the Bunny!

Baby got its second present today! Another GREAT thing!!!

A book, Pat the Bunny - Fuzzy Alphabet!!

"Aunt Terry" sent it. I was the nanny to her kids ten years ago, now she is planning to spoil mine!
