Well, not much to report. Life flows along at it's usual pace. A bit slow presently.

I've found that with the move into the second trimester (WOOT! ) I'm not quite as comfortable as I used to be. I'm very tired, I get headaches a lot, and my tummy feels more often unsettled. I still am pretty pleased with out easy it's all been, so I don't want to complain too much. And anyway, I've got such a dear, sweet, sympathetic husband who runs me baths, and brings me Panda Express, and massages my aching head.  He's just wonderful.

Also I am trying to be more consistent with taking my stinking prenatal pills and drinking water. I hate swallowing pills. I almost always gag on them. And I have to take six a day! Six!! Is that not ridiculous? It is ridiculous.

Tomorrow is a good day. I don't have to jog or go to the tow yard! I just stay home and clean, or go out and shop Winco. Maybe make it out for a nice long walk if the weather's nice.

Then the day after tomorrow, I have another doctor's appointment. Joe's coming with me this time so he can hear the heartbeat. That will be exciting. *happy sigh* And now I'm tired.

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just tried to post a long and detailed account of my life since Christmas, and it just deleted everything!!!!

The long and short of what I was saying is, I'm pregnant. I couldn't be happier about it. I did have written down how and when I found out... or Joe found out, I should say. It's a little sad that I'll never be able to surprise him. And I wrote a... not exactly detailed, but almost detailed account of my doctor's visit, and getting to see my little one wave. As much as he could really. He's pretty much all head, not much in the way of appendages as yet. But this is really all you need to know about. If you want to know anything else, just ask. I love talking about it.

And anyone who would like to see baby pictures, they're on Dad's site, ILMMLM.

Hello, lovelies! I think it's about time I made a picture post, for those of you who haven't seen the wedding pictures. These are chosen out of 900+ so this wasn't easy.

And even that took forever, so I'll just wait a little and post some more.

This is Mandy now, so you can all be just as excited as you want.

C. S. Lewis said, "...life is not like a river, but like a tree. It does not move towards unity but away from it..."

Right now this means quite a lot to me. Strange, isn't it? After being united to someone to feel that life doesn't move towards unity. But becoming one with someone else, we have branched off from the people and places that were family and home. Now Joe is my family, and anywhere he is is home. 

*sigh* So right now home is in a bog of mud by the lake.  I've been home alone a lot today. I think I'll watch some Psych.

Okay, before you get your hopes up, I should tell you...this isn't Mandy. I just decided it would be a good thing to post some pictures......

The rehearsel! Don't you just love the boquet?

Pepsi, rules!

Hehe.....

Okay I'm done!
