First Baby Present
When I checked the mail today, I got the greatest surprise!!! The baby got it's very first present. My dear friend, Roger Harrison, sent me the tiniest little Trek cycling jersey. (see picture) It is probably the cutest thing I have ever seen! I almost cried! Thanks Roger - you're the best!
St. Patrick's Day
For St. Patrick's Day, Damian and I went out on the Plaza with two of our good friends, Nichole and Bobby. Even though I volunteered to be the designated driver, we had more fun watching the drunks then getting drunk. Despite me getting sprayed by perfume by an extremely drunk girl, we had great food and great company and ended the night on a high note...at least for me. I finished the night off with a little indulgence...cherry cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory. I'm sure next year will be a little more low keyed.
What's up baby?
Other then making me sick on a near daily basis...the baby is about 1 and 1/2 inches long and weights about a quarter of an ounce. Despite being so small, it already has fingers and toes, can open and close it's fist...kicks and stretches. I think it's getting more exercise then I am. I am nearing the end of phase one and hoping that the next one will leave me with more energy and less nausea!!
WHAT!?!
I broke the news to the office yesterday at our morning meeting! If only I had a camera! The look on their faces was PRICELESS!! I don't know if they didn't believe me or if they were in shock. Lindsay's mouth just fell open! I loved it!
My friend Elena is learning how to knit and she has promised me a baby hat that looks like fruit. She said that we had to wait to find out if it was a boy or a girl so that we could decide between a blueberry or some other girly fruit! I am almost as excited about the hat as I am about finding out what the baby is going to be. I guess picking between a blueberry and a cherry will be easier then figuring out a good name that I'm going to like for the rest of my life. I really don't know how people can pick out a name!!

One of us gets Fifth Place, the other gets Fat Pants!
Damian took fifth place in the Vet Expert class yesterday in the first race of the season, Devil's Revenge. The weather was less then perfect, but at least the rain held off until the race was over. I helped out with the scoring. I don't think I will EVER do that again. I really felt like I missed out on the entire race. I prefer to hand off water and take pictures. Plus, 6 hours of solid standing was a little hard on me!
Can't believe that I am going to have to break down and get some bigger pants!! I really didn't think I would be putting on weight so fast! This morning was a challenge trying to find something comfortable that still buttoned! And I have such a long, long, long ways left to go! Speaking of comfortable, I am also having problems with my sciatic nerve. I look completely ridiculous when I try to get up and walk after sitting for long periods of time. At least the pain isn't constant.

Dr. Appointment
The doctor's appointment went well. I got to hear the baby's heartbeat again! 163 bpm!! Maybe we have a future cyclist on our hands! I was told that it might be time to start shopping for pants with elastic - what a thought! I don't think I have ever owned any pants with elastic that weren't made for the gym.
Noob
Looks like we will be adding a new addition to our family in October. I am due on the 4th...which is one day before my 34th birthday! I have been really feeling my age the past few weeks. I am 10 weeks along as of yesterday, March 8th! Going to the doctor today for a check up. I have already heard the heartbeat once, but I am anxious to hear it again today. If everything goes well, we will be sharing the news with our friends this weekend! =)
