Holy Moley!

Where did this belly come from? This kid is already growing like a weed! I still have 2 whole trimesters left!! I only noticed this weekend that my "little bit of chub" around my midsection has become a real live baby bump. Then, when I got out of the shower today, I noticed that if I stand straight and relaxed, then look down, I can only see my toes. Not my feet, just my toes. When did this happen? I also think that since my bellybutton is already an "outie", it's going to pop out prematurely. It was starting to become an "innie" before I got pregnant, because I love food, but that's since reversed. Not the part where I love food, the part where my bellybutton was sinking.

Speaking of food.. I think we have some Rocky Road ice cream in the freezer. Mmm.. Rocky Road ice cream with melted peanut butter on top... I'm out!!

Something Happened To My Blog...

What happened to it? My background disappeared, so I put a new one on, and it showed a blank page. So I tried a template to maybe reset it, then put in the cool background again and I cant remember how I put the original viney background in. Oops! So I lost the cool baby ticker that I (okay, Jessica) found, and cant figure out how to put it back on. Dang!! So my blog will have to be ugly until I can figure it out.

In better news, I've discovered that I can make grilled cheese sandwiches!

Update: I think I fixed it! Hurray!!

And Three Makes A Family

The news is out. Jesus and I are expecting our first little nino at the end of August. We found out a couple days before Christmas. We wrapped up the test box and gave it to both my parents and his. My mom thought it was a tampon box. His dad wouldnt fininsh opening the box because there wasnt anything in it. We have goofy parents. But they are all really excited and cant wait until D-Day.

We had our first ultrasound on Wednesday, and we got to see our little bean. It was such a neat experience. Before Wednesday, all we really had to go on was 2 peed on sticks. That and a couple of 'Aunt Flo'-free months. When we saw the ultrasound, it became real. The dr. even gave us a video tape of the whole ultrasound. The baby did NOT stop moving, which is a good sign of things to come, I'm sure. :-)

We also got a crib today. I spoke to a gal at church the other day and she happened to mention that her daughter had a crib that she was looking to get rid of. I spoke to her daughter at church today, and she happened to be storing the crib in her car and dropped it off at our house this afternoon. So now we have a really nice Ikea crib upstairs in our "baby room". I love free stuff!

Holy Snow!!

Where in the heck did all this snow come from? I dont remember ever, ever having this much snow! In the past week we've had it all; snow, freezing rain, ice, & sleet. It has made everything so quiet and muted. I just love snow. It's so pretty! I just wish I had the vacation to be able to stay home and enjoy it.

Our snow covered house & cars. Jesus' car (the black one) hasnt moved since Thursday.

Waldo doesn't think the snow is so cool. It gets stuck between his toes. He does like to eat ice, though.

Chica has decided that the snow isnt so bad. It would be a whole lot more fun if it wasnt so dang cold, though! She also refuses to look at the camera.

Snow Angels!!

This is what it looks like when you have the big Christmas lights lining your grass in your front yard and then a foot of snow dumps on them. You get glowing snow. This is the one kind of yellow snow that you can eat.. if you want to. I thought it was cool how each lightbulb melted a little cave around itself and a tiny hole at the surface.

I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas

Brrrrrr!!!

It's so cold!! The snow came on Sunday morning with temperatures in the 20's, which is FREEEEZING for Oregon! Usually when it snows here, it will pile up, kids play all day and enjoy the snow day, then the snow melts and is gone or mostly gone by the next day. Not this time! It came down on Sunday and hasnt left. Temperatures in the 20's hasnt helped things thaw. The dogs are enjoying it, but I have to continually pick packed snow out from between Waldo's toes when he comes in. He's figured out that while I do that, if he shivers and lets his teeth chatter he gets extra loves because I feel bad for him. Poor frozen pup-cicle. Though we did make him sit over the heat register after he was outside for longer than we wanted. Chica wanted nothing to do with that!

The best part is that it's supposed to snow again tomorrow, and maybe some more on Saturday. Oh happy days.
