i'm blaming my blogging absence on baby brain =) it's so hard to believe how fast this pregnancy is flying by and i have to say that LH and i are thoroughly enjoying every little bit. i feel like i have so much to learn, not just about baby, but things i want to teach baby one day, and i'm also trying to make it a point to spend extra time with LH before the baby comes. we have also been ridding the house of anything that we don't use or find necessary, because we know that we are about to be adding quite a bit of baby stuff.
as far as the actual pregnancy goes, i could never have dreamt that it would be this good. the only time i even felt remotely sick was when my body decided that it no longer like bananas, although i tried them the other day and they are okay again. i've needed more sleep than pre-pregnancy, but nothing crazy. i have the most amazing husband who i respect so much; he has taken the time from his busy schedule to go to every regular checkup with me thus far. he is going to be the best daddy ever. i'm convinced that the baby already looks like him, too. when i saw this picture printed from the ultrasound, it made me smile, because it looks just like LH's profile from one of his baby pictures. silly, i know, but i really can see the resemblance.
another "side effect" of this pregnancy has been that i've become a little bit more private with my life, other than with friends and family, of course. i guess because i'm not only "eating for two" but living for two, i feel very protective of this growing baby that constantly lets me know he/she is in there by kicking and rolling and bumping me. i love it. oh, and we decided not to find out whether we are having a girl or a boy. there are so few surprises in life now, and i think this is going to be such a cool surprise to wait for. plus, it will help me get through the labor when i have such a desire to know whether it is a boy or a girl!
anyhow, that's a little update on our lives right now. i'm still here, just enjoying being pregnant and trying to make the most of my time. unfortunately, that means i don't always take the time to sit down and blog much. just know that no news is good news =) feel free to email me if curiosity is getting the better of you. my email is visible to everyone in my profile.

Glad to hear all is well and that you haven't had any really bad side effects from the pregnancy. One of our favorite things to make for dinner used to be a citrus grilled shrimp recipe. Then, one night back when LW was pregnant with our first son, I stopped at the store on my way home and bought a pound of shrimp - thinking I'd be a good husband and cook dinner for my wife. I walked in the door with the bag of shrimp... She saw it, put a hand to her mouth, and ran for the bathroom. Yeah, no more shrimp for us.
Yay. Thanks for the update. I couldn't bear to think you were sick or sad.
I agree with you that life has so few suprises any more and that this has to be the best kind. If I'm ever lucky enough to be married and subsequently pregnant I'd wait to find out too!
Congrats! You look really cute with your little belly.
I'm so not a blog stalker I swear but I came across your blog somehow and just had to say congrats!
I'm preg too! I'm due in November. Trust me the baby brain will get soooo much worse. Good luck with everything!
I'm happy to hear everything is going so well. Keep it up!
I'm so happy for you all! How cool to not find out... I am too anal to not have found out.
No need to apologize for not blogging more... life throws different things our way and we do what we need/want to with them. I have been a very absent blogger lately too...
Enjoy!
Glad to hear you're having a great pregnancy!
