This weekend Chris put together the crib that Grandma and Grandpa Gonzales bought for baby G.I.P. I will post pictures here in the next couple of days. Its so funny to look in the room and see a crib! Yikes!

Things are still just great. I'm showing now and getting use to the idea I feel something if I bend over fast or lean over. I think I'm finally feeling officially pregnant!

I just still can't believe how many people I know who are pregnant! They are adding up fast! I think get-togethers from now on are going to be different!

34 days until we find out the sex!

We heard the heartbeat!!!

We had our second doctor's appointment this morning. She was able to find the heartbeat RIGHT away - not even trying and it was loud and fast - something like 150 beats per minute - which she says is wonderful. It was so weird, I know I'm pregnant, but sometimes I don't feel pregnant. Now I know that lump - which is now the size of a medium shrimp - is beating rapidly and growing and really is a bambino.

By the next appointment, I should feel movement and be completely showing. CRAZY! My belly is already pushing out so low, I believe I will carry low. I won't have that nice even bumb, it will look like I have a basketball under my shirt! hehe

Everything is going well. I have had a few migraines, which the doc said is linked to the increase in blood. They should quit in a week or so. Nothing I can do too much - just fight through them...

Our next appointment is not until January 14th - BUT we get to find out the sex of the baby!!!! I can't WAIT for that!!! I should have a count down until that day!

This is an ode to a symptom I do NOT enjoy,

My acne that makes me feel like a thirteen-year-old boy!

I control one spot and another will appear,

I see them all the time in every single mirror!

I was ready for everything, including having to always pee,

But how can such a little thing, create so much acne!

One day they will all disappear and I will be okay,

But until then, I will be counting down for that special day!

I'm just passing the time here at work - waiting for my favorite holiday ever! No stress of buying gifts, but yet wonderful food and you can totally fat kid out! A little football, normally bloody marys - but I'll settle for cherry limeades this year - so good!

I think I'm almost in my 2nd trimester - that is crazy. I feel great - I hope it continues. The baby room is already painted - it was painted neutral - Almond Oil to be exact - we figure we wouldn't have to re-paint it when we go to sell the house in a couple of years.

Still waiting for my next doctor's appointment on the 3rd.

We hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving - eat up!

P.S. - its freaking snowing outside right now...
