Why does time hate me?
This whole week work has been D-R-A-G-G-I-N-G!! The days seem to never ever end.
The fact that it is only 5.52pm baffles me as I think about the other 1 hour and 8 minutes I must somehow get through.
Thank goodness I have tomorrow off.
Mike and I had another Dr's appointment for the baby today. It was a really short visit but it was great to have the reassurance that everything appears to be normal/healthy. The heartbeat was found really quickly which was great to hear. She said it was about 160 beats/minute.
Our next appointment is on Sept 20 - Mike's birthday which is when we will schedule the ultra-sound. YAY!!
Any guesses yet to the sex of the baby? You don't have to have a blog site to answer :)

Does your spouse make breakfast bed? Watch reality TV that you know he really doesn't care to watch? Do the laundry? Humor you by going over countless lists of baby names? I'm proud to say that mine does (sorry, babe, your secrets are out)! To me, nothing says love like being a part of the team. Or maybe I should rephrase, maybe it's taking one for the team. I like to think I'm a pretty good teammate, too. I wash the silverware since I know he hates it, manage all the finances, and every now and then... look out... I throw some full-priced treats into the grocery cart.
It's those little things in the daily routine of life that make a marriage successful. It's wanting to do something for the other person more than for yourself. And it's always, always best when it's least expected. So while today marks another birthday, we both know that it's the in's and out's of every day that really count. (Although I have loved every minute of the endless pampering!!) And that is why even though I squashed his thoughtful dinner plans, tonight will not be a dinner disappointment, but rather another opportunity to listen to each other, talk about the exciting upcoming year and enjoy another birthday .... the best way possible ... together.

This'll be quick.
We are here in LA. Mike had to look something up on the computer, so I thought I'd look at my email real quick. I have waaaaaaaay too many emails, so I thought I'd blog instead especially since I can't access myspace :(
We went to Vegas on Monday. It was fun. We ended up losing all our money but we pretty much only used Mike's tip money, so it was sort of like "free" money. It was a fun city and I'm glad we made the long desert trip.
We've yet to really see any LA spots. We went to a Dodgers game on Sunday and went to Long Beach where I saw the Queen Mary. I got a far away shot but it's a picture none-the-less. Starting today is when the wedding stuff really starts. We are hoping to fit in a couple major tourist stops today and tomorrow.
Well Mike is done researching, so I'm going to sign off as well. Hope everyone is doing well. I miss talking to everyone but the time change makes it extremely difficult to call people. Talk to everyone soon.

Yes it's true. Mike and I are pregnant! By now, I'm sure everyone who reads my blog now knows the happy news. Mike and I are thrilled! It was unexpected but we are incredibly excited.
I sent an email about our first baby appointment but I wanted to blog it here as well.
The appointment went fantastically with the only downside being the nurses couldn't find a vein to draw blood. They were finally successfully able to draw my blood with the assistance of 3 nurses and 5 holes in my left arm. My arm is a nice shade of purple but at least they didn't have to enter through my hand :)
Dr Steen was great. She was very talkative, answered a lot of our questions, made great small talk, and had a great way of making me feel calm and relaxed. I think she'll be perfect for delivering our baby.
We were able to hear the heartbeat which was everything everyone hyped it up to be! As my mom so eloquently wrote yesterday, our hearts totally skipped a beat when we heard the baby's heartbeat for the first time. Everything became much more real. She said the baby's heartbeat was 180 beats/minute which is normal for being 11 1/2 weeks. She gave us a due date of Feb 9!!
We went to Carter's Sidewalk sale yesterday and bought a bunch of cute baby clothes for DIRT cheap! In a way, time is just flying by but on the other hand, Feb seems like an eternity away.
