So.... Eddie and I are expecting our first baby in March, 2010. Actually, 3.28.10 to be exact. We are so over the moon... words can't even describe :)
I am currently 14 weeks along and so far so good. I found out at the end of July 2009 and our world has turned 'baby crazy' since then.
We heard the amazing heartbeat at 11 weeks and that was when we really started announcing our fabulous news! I was a bit nervous to say it too loud, for fear that this was all in my imagination or for fear that something would happen. But, I am officially in my second trimester and boy does it feel great. Well... for the most part!
I haven't had the miserable nausea like my dear friend Jamie, who is currently 13 weeks, is experiencing. From week 5 or 6 until about week 9 or 10 I definitely had evenings (NOT mornings... why it's called morning sickness is beyond me) where I felt like total poop. I managed to lay in bed one Sunday afternoon into the evening and even the slightest bit of noise or movement made me feel like I was going to barf everywhere. Not pleasant. Luckily, I haven't had the pleasure of feeling quite like that since that day. Mostly, my symptoms are as follows: extreme exhaustion (which has finally subsided, as of week 12!!); the need to pee every hour on the hour (which I currently still experience, especially during the night); constantly hungry; headaches that even Tylenol won't touch (which is the only pain reliever medication that pregnant gals are recommended to take); heartburn... my oh my, it's in full effect... note to self, do NOT drink orange juice; unannounced break outs (I am not dealing with this one too well); bloatedness (which is no longer - I definitely have a little "pouch" sticking out now); and I think that about covers it. It could be worse... so I won't complain. Too much :)
But man it's worth it. Totally worth it.
I have created a Baby Blog so that people can read up on my status and see what's new in our life and in the very new life of Baby R.

HELLOOOO football season...
So as much as I absolutely adore the summer... I am so ready for fall weather, the changing of leaves, Eddie's ah-maz-ing chili, warm and fuzzy sweaters, and of course, ohio state football. It just doesn't get any better than that!
I cannot believe that September has already arrived. Where oh where has the time gone to? I remember my looooong awaited countdown to Hawaii. That vacation has long come and gone. Since Hawaii the rest of my summer has just seemed like one HUGE blur. So many things happening at once.
Rachel came home like a million times - which I will NEVER EVER complain about. So not only did I spend a week with her in paradise, but she was home in June for Comfest, and again in August for our mom's 60th birthday celebration. I am hoping to see her and Bri this coming winter as well :)
I just celebrated my 31st birthday (what happened to 30?!) this past Sunday, August 30th, and needless to say, I partied a little differently this year (tee hee hee).
I can't believe that I am 31. Don't get me wrong, I am cool with 31... I just can't believe that number is coming out of my mouth. Eddie and I started dating on the cusp of my 26th birthday - I was so young back then, and didn't even know it.
But onto a different, more interesting conversation...
the Buckeyes.
It's that time of year in good ole' Columbus Ohio. The air has a slight crisp in the evening and the smell of football is in full effect. I love the way the the leaves change on Neil Ave. Nothing gets better than football Saturday.
I used to be quite the tailgater, but as the years have passed I am sort of just over that whole scene. Unless it's a huge game - like the OSU vs USC game, which we will be out of town for - I prefer to watch it at home with some good food and good friends or at a low key bar. Campus is crazy and the students seem to get crazier by the year. My time of craziness and drunken afternoons has passed... Eddie, on the other hand, will be in the midst of the beer, crowds, drunks and craziness until he's 80. He is a devout fan. God bless him!
Best of luck to our favorite Buckeyes. Here's to an absolutely perfect season!
