Hats off to MiMi

I am beginning to experience the preliminary symptoms of pregnancy. Exciting but also embarrassing. I went to my friend's house the other day, a friend of SEVEN years and could NOT remember her mom's name. A name that also happens to be MY mom's middle name. Luckily my friend is pregnant too, so she's experiencing much of the same thing.
I was on the way to Curves the other day & drove right past it. By three miles. I was already running late, so I might as well have just not gone. I go before Chad leaves for work so that I don't have to arrange childcare, so I'm always rushing as it is. I was only there for 15 minutes but spent 35 minutes driving. sigh.
I'm not sleeping well. I can lay in bed & feel my whole body move with my extra-human-strength heartbeats. I now set the temperature to two degrees cooler than normal. The upside to that is when I'm "big" it'll be winter. Neena & Chad better get ready to bundle up.
I'm hungry =) And I get to eat a lot. And food tastes sooo good. Trying to avoid sugar; I have good days & bad days. I don't want an extra big baby, extra pounds, or extra stretch marks. I'm pretty determined. I want to deliver naturally this time, so I gotta be in really good shape.

Mom was in town this week :) A shout out to her for all the cleaning/organizing/child care that she provided whilst I worked on the computer for a new short-term job I've got & rested. I did help a little. But I have to be honest & give her all the credit. Here's a cute pic of her taking her make-up off with Neena copying her & playing right along.
Pretty cute, huh? MiMi also took us shopping & out to eat. You're the best, Mom!!
