New Year's Resolution #1....In Progress

That's right. I said it.

I'm going to be someone's mom. And Jake is going to be someone's dad. Scary, huh? ha ha.

We're having a baby. Due mid-September. So, let's be honest, now my blog will be mostly devoted to yapping about that, but I'll try to keep it to a minimum.

To be honest, I knew the minute I was. I had heartburn at work. I never have had heartburn in my life, except for three weeks ago. Among other things. Like being fraking tired all the time. And hungry.

So, I'm almost 6 weeks along. Another many many many weeks to go.

To be truthful, I'm not too excited about everything yet, because it doesn't really seem real. I'm not terribly different and life is pretty much same as normal, except I can't drink, obviously. Which, for me, is a huge giveaway that something is going on. Because I usually drink.

My first doctor appt is on Feb. 5th. I'll be 8 weeks then, so I'm hoping that will be enough time to see something going on down there.

We told our families -- well, I wanted to wait, but I knew I'd have to, because of the 1/2 Marathon. I told a little white lie -- a lie of omission, if you will. I didn't finish the 1/2 Marathon, this is true. This is because I did not run/walk/anything. I trained all of 2007 for something I ended up not being able to do. That kind of sucked and I was disappointed about that. I guess it was for a good reason, but still. I better have a baby in 9 months or I'll be pissed. PISST!!!

I'm waiting to tell work until at least after my doc appt, but I don't want to wait to long because they will need to know, since my 12 week leave will fall over the back part of 2008. I counted. I'd have to be back at work on Dec. 8th or something -- like 3 weeks before Christmas. I wonder if I'll be able to keep my job. Yikes. I was thinking about asking to work from home sometimes too. Plus, I have to let work know sooner, because my dad wants to brag that he's going to be a grandpa to people at work too. :)

So, anyway. You know. all that. In other news, we got a very nice phone message from Nimbies Bro-in-law saying that he made it through the surgery and was doing really well and Sis-in-law was doing well too. Nims gave him a list of people to call and say that he was good and I was grateful. I would have worried. I'll probably call his BIL back and say thanks for calling and see when Nims is okay to speak to people on the phone.

My dad is coming over to help us start on the basement tomorrow morning before the big game and then we are going to the house of family friends to watch the game -- back in the 90's, we used to go over there all the time to watch games and I don't even remember the last time we were there to watch. I'm looking forward to it. I'm not sure how people will be sitting out at that game. It's SO COLD outside. I'm still freezing right now and I'm wrapped in a blanket and sweater and I'm still wearing my hat.

Anyway, I'm going to wrap it up here. Feel free to leave a message. :)
