Just a little favor...

So... I know that the sudden surge of hormones that some women experience during pregnancy can make them want "IT" all the time.. well I would like to take this opportunity to suggest something- please don't take offense- but I thought maybe you could keep this wonderful news a secret between you and your husband?!? I think it would be so much fun!!

And in all honesty those of us who are not so fortuitous find it hard to compete with these goddesses of love.. and don't even get me started on my cute little hubster who is anxiously anticipating when "the insatiable desire" is going to strike his wife- resulting in the minimum of 3 hot and sweaty sessions a day.. ha ha

Thank You-The End

Please, tell me I am not the only one???

So last night was a rough one, I had woken up as usual at an insanely early hour to relieve my full bladder and was able to drift back to sleep quickly.. then for some unknown reason i found myself awake again just an hour later.. I sat and tried to discover why the helk i was wide awake- did I need to pee again? was I hot? was there something waking me up? umm no to all of these so I tried every possible position on the bed but I just couldn't get comfortable. Finally it dawned on me.. I was hungry! and not just normal middle of the night hungry- i was starving. So... I got my little booty out of bed as my husband is asking me where I am going at 2:30 in the morning... To the kitchen I was off. I scoured the fridge for something appetizing and then remembered the leftover egg drop soup.. which I accompanied with some yummy Triskets and of course let's not forget the half of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich that I never finished for dinner- it couldn't go to waste!!! Ha Ha I nearly laughed out loud the entire time I just sat in my kitchen with nothing but the moon to light my way and I ate until I felt content...

So back to my question... how many of you- pregnant or not- have ever had a middle of the night snack fest??? what did you eat?? and did you regret it?? I have to say i most definitely did not regret it one bit.. the whole time I kept thinking----

this hungry at 2:30+5 more hours of sleep= starving and morning sickness when I wake up.. umm no thanks!

Keepin it real..

For those of you who couldn't quite figure out how long 209 days is (I thought I would make you work for it) the due date for baby Rowe is Feb. 4 2010 which means I am nearly 11 weeks pregnant!! Now some of you.. don't hate me but I haven't really been sick.. I just barely threw up for the first time yesterday (TMI?!?) so I have NOTHING to complain about...

Like I mentioned a couple of months ago the whole gaining weight thing is hard for me (not the actual gaining of weight cuz that is suprisingly all to easy but the idea of it) so I am grateful that Jesse and I decided to do a health competition before we found out we were expecting.. It really has been so helpful to not eat sugar and drink plenty of water as well as exercising 6 days a week... hopefully once the competition ends I won't succumb to all of my "junk food" cravings!

As far as the telling of our parents I found this cutest website where you can design your own onesies and so I had one of these made for each of the grandparents (the one below is for my mom.)

Thanks so much for all of your cute and kind comments!! You all are too nice.. really, but we are super excited and for those that don't know Jesse- trust me he will make the best daddy ever.. although I may end up feeling like I always have one more child than I do!! I totally plan on keeping you all posted for the next 6 months or so....

The countdown is ON...

It seems like the older you get the quicker time passes... it used to seem like an eternity from one Christmas to another but now the jolly time of year comes much to soon (yes I am a procrastinator in the gift buying department!).. well as usual things in our lives are going quickly.. summer is almost half over and yet I feel like we haven't really done anything..

Here are some of the things we have on the books in the next little while..

13 days til Lilah gets fixed ;(

about 3 weeks til Jesse's birthday (the big 24!)

28 days til Bridger Lake.. I am going to attempt fly fishing!

77 days til Aida at Tuacon with "the girls"

113 days til Halloween

125 days til San Diego with the Hollis Clan

127 days til our 1st anniversary

160 days til the big 2-8 for me...

followed shortly by Christmas (9 days later)

and last but certainly not least......

209 days til baby Rowe arrives!!

As I was saying before.. it seems like an eternity but I am sure it will be here sooner than we expect... we are so excited and feel truly blessed!

absolutely random

Just finished my daily morning bowl of cereal.. as I sat slurping up any remnants of the milk I started thinking about how much I look forward to the taste of the milk after soaked the cereal...

Obviously now my cereal choices are quite boring (rice chex, raisin bran, kashi shredded wheat) but the milk still tastes scrumdiddlyumptious!!!

As a little kid my favorite cereals to eat (because they made the milk taste AMAZING) were Lucky Charms, Trix, Cocoa Puffs, Fruit Loops, and Captain Crunch.. I loved dipping my buttery toast in the milk too- something about that sweet and salty combination! Just thinking about it makes me want to go out and buy some "kids" cereals so I can re-live my childhood memory!!!

How do you guys feel... do you like to drink the milk after eating cereal and if so... what cereals flavor the milk just to your liking?!?

Some kind of wonderful...

Last night as I lay in bed I and tossed and turned~ from my right side to my left to my back to my stomach

All the while my sweet hubby is sleeping peacefully... even softly snoring from time to time...

As my battle with sleep raged on I became desperate after what seemed like an eternity I was losing my fight... I was almost at the point of tears...

I was on my right side-facing away from the hubby when out of the blue I felt kisses on my shoulder and then my cheek...

He sat up in bed (so he wouldn't be tempted to doze off) and softly tickled my back, belly, arms, face, and hair....

That's the last thing I remember.. softly slipping away as I allowed my husband to completely and utterly love me!!

I seriously love him... seriously!!

I wanna Rock and Roll

While watching the Tony's last night I was intrigued by a new musical that just debuted on Broadway in April... It's called- Featuring Constantine from idol (for all you die-hards)

Here's what the synopsis of the show said from their website www.rockofagesmusical.com

In 1987 on the Sunset Strip, a small town girl met a big city rocker and in LA’s most famous rock club, they fell in love to the greatest songs of the 80s. It’s ROCK OF AGES, an arena-rock love story told through the mind-blowing, face-melting hits of JOURNEY, NIGHT RANGER, STYX, REO SPEEDWAGON, PAT BENATAR, TWISTED SISTER, POISON, ASIA, WHITESNAKE and many more. Don’t miss this awesomely good time about dreaming big, playing loud and partying on!

What can I say?!?

You can take the child out of the 80's but you can't take the 80's out of the child!!

I think I need to plan a trip the NYC REAL soon!!
