Hi ladies!

Happy Monday :-) This is officially the last Monday that I will be working this year...that's kind of happy to think about. This is also my last week in 1T chat - I am officially 13w 4d on Saturday by LMP, and on Thursday by the measurements. I don't know which one to go by, I think I'll go by measurements just cause that makes me further along...hehehe...is that allowed?

Anybody do anything fun over the weekend? I was supposed to get my XMas decorations up and get the presents wrapped. Neither happened. That'll make for some busy evenings this week. Instead we cleaned the house and relaxed Sat, and then yesterday we had a XMas brunch with some of my coworkers and XMas celebration with DH's mom's side in the evening. All went well except it was about 90 degrees in DH's grandparents house last night and I thought for sure I was going to pass out. I sat right by the door and kept sticking my head outside for "fresh air". They probably thought I was crazy. Oh well, the inlaws already hate me anyways :-)

Hope everyone else is well!!

Amanda: Congrats on moving into the 2nd Trimester---hopefully, I will join you in a few short weeks---my--this time seems to be flying by!!! Are you most excited???? I understand the feeling of having to do lots of wrapping and such this week---makes for a busy, busy week--but I love the days of anticipation leading up to Christmas!

My DH and I had a nice weekend! Our DS's daycare offers 'Parent Appreciation Night' every few months. So on any given Friday night---we can leave him there up till 9:30 Pm for us to have date night--with no extra fee!! :) (Of course, if I told you what we pay them, you would agree that they should offer it every Friday!). We hit a new Japanese restaraunt in town---we LOVE Sushi. Of course, I couldn't partake---but I had a great soft shell crab tempura dish which believe it or not: tasted great to me!!!

Let's see...about it from here. My weight is finally balancing out---thank goodness! But: I did get out my maternity pants....I am only 11 weeks---but my normal pants were just too uncomfortable!!!

Can't wait to hear how you guys are doing!!!
Love,
Lori

Good morning, ladies!


Amanda--Sorry about the heat wave at the grandparents’ house! I hear ya about the gift wrapping, but you took time to relax and that’s more important anyway! Congrats on your trimester move! Woohoo!!


Lori--Right on for the date night! Take advantage while you can!!! I know what they charge around here, so I can only imagine what you’re being charged. That’s a great deal, btw!


As for me, my cold is gone but the residual cough lingers. Ahh, the joys of my annual Christmas cold! Caitlin had her Christmas/Festivus party here on Saturday night. Guests started arriving around 4:30, and it was a mix of old and new friends. Everyone was gone by 10, so that was nice! Ryan even put himself to bed, he was so tired, and that was nice too! One of her old friends from her old school came with her mom and younger sister, and it turns out that the mom and I went to the same Catholic girls’ high school and she graduated a year ahead of me! We knew all the same people, how funny is that? I also finished some more Christmas shopping for our two youngest, but still have Caitlin and my family to do yet, so that seems so overwhelming right now. Usually I start after Halloween so I can be done by Thanksgiving, but that just didn’t happen this year…


I’m looking forward to my u/s and check up on Wednesday (it's at 4:15 pm CA time, sorry!) but still have some lingering fears. I rolled over on my tummy this morning to turn off the alarm and thought, wow, shouldn’t I be feeling the “bump” by now? Trying to remain calm and positive. I keep reminding myself that I was eating minimal food when I was sick, so I may have actually lost some weight and I’m trying to keep everything in perspective.


I hope we all have a great week!

Hi Ladies-


I'm glad everyone is doing well and getting into the holiday spirit!


I'm going today for another sono checkup and am feeling a TON of anxiety about it.

Boy oh boy you girls are quiet this week...too much XMas preparations I would guess :-) We exchanged XMas presents with our group at work today, it was fun. I got the cutest personalized "parents to be 2006" ornament with our names on it. Very very thoughtful and cute. Plus some maternity gift cards. Yay :-)
Bentley, I'm so happy your apt went well! Faith over fear honey, it's going to be fine.
Maureen, isn't today your bday? Happy bday :-) Hope you feel up to a good dinner!
Blah - gotta go, work is calling. literally. sorry i didn't get to everyone.
Bye!
