Naturally Delinquent

I remind you readers that I'm not that good at keeping up with this blogging thing. Use of words is my strong point. Putting them to technological use (ie: using the phone, email, BLOGS...) has me astutely dumbfounded.

However, being the middle of the 4th month, there's a few milestones that must be mentioned. So, celebrate with me a minute-

First and foremost: bye-bye pukeys!! (I'll wait while you get the excitement out of your system, too.) I can't tell you how utterly elated I am that I can eat something...anything... and it stays put. Granted, it gives me heartburn (everything, including water gives me heartburn), but it stays in my thoracic cavity, at least! As long as I'm not hungry, I'm not trying to keep my innards inwards. Which makes every morning peanut butter sandwich that much better, seeing as it's not being propelled toward the dashboard.

Secondly, we went in on the 5th for our visit to the OB to see if we could hear the heartbeat. After 5 minutes, the only heartbeat we were hearing was my own. So to ease fears and uncertainties, we had another ultrasound done, to find the little squirt wriggling about quite enthusiastically. We watched it "breathe," watched the little heart beating, and watched as the little feet and hands stretched and squirmed as much as it could. We even had the first shot of our first full moon. We're proud parents! Unfortunately, since the machine was out of paper, we didn't get any pictures, for which I'm extremely "bummed..." No hiney shots, sorry.

Lastly, this is the end of the first Trimester! Here comes the second. And every pound I see on the scale, or every button I can't get closed on my jeans makes it that much more real. But the increase in cup size is nice, considering I never made it very far out of the A's. Wider I may be, and rounder through the middle every day, but I can still run, which also helps the waxing-and-waning energy levels. And I definitely have newfound love for Joe's T-shirts.
