October 30, 2006

"So I’m doing it. EEK! I debated all last week, had the bookmark in my quick bar in Firefox, just to remind myself that I needed to decide. It’s so much PRESSURE. What the HECK am I gonna talk about every day? My life is really not that exciting. Y’all are gonna have to help me [...]"

five random things

October 28, 2006

"1. Dan’s last day at work was yesterday. Yup, he starts a new job on Monday! After working 4 miles from home for so long, he’ll now be driving downtown instead. It’s only about 20 miles or so, but with traffic it can take up to an hour. But, he’s really excited about the job [...]"

good points

October 26, 2006

"Benefit to learning yesterday that I haven’t gained a single, solitary pound in the first 16 weeks of my pregnancy? Feeling no guilt about eating 2 1/2 breadsticks at the Olive Garden last night, and ‘drinking’ the barbecue Pringles crumbs from the can just now. HA!

"Still working and busy. Still gestating. Drs appointment today, can’t wait to hear the heartbeat again (I SUCK at finding it myself with my monitor, all I hear is a lot of movement) Think I may have felt the baby moving this week, though I can’t be sure yet. Halloween party this weekend, we have [...]"

15 week belly pictures

October 21, 2006

"In case you haven’t noticed, I have some new belly pics! Still not huge (which is fine with me!) But I’m starting to feel like I actually look pregnant, and not just FAT, at least when wearing a maternity shirt. And probably just a few more weeks until I feel the little turd moving around in [...]"

"Last weekend, we made a trip back to our collegiate alma mater. It was a fun day, visiting with old friends and seeing all of the changes on campus, but in a lot of way it was kind of strange. It’s been 5 years since we were students there. FIVE YEARS. I know it’s so cliche [...]"

reason #457 why our marriage works

October 12, 2006

"Dan (suspiciously, because he likes to make jokes about how I never cook dinner for him): Why are you thawing out chicken? Jen: Because I was going to take a poop on it and give it you for dinner. Dan: AW-RIIIGHT! How did you know that’s what I wanted today?!?! More posts like this: recipe: Taco Chicken November 25, [...]"

October 09, 2006

"I’m going to tell you a dorky secret, Internet. I rented a baby doppler. Just for 2 months, at which point I should be regularly feeling the little Turd bouncing around in my belly, which will calm my recurring fears that something has gone wrong (I’m told I’m not alone in this fear, which is only somewhat [...]"

getting out more

October 06, 2006

"WARNING, WARNING: I’m getting off the couch for the weekend. We’re headed to Ohio to visit some friends… hopefully I don’t exhaust myself, what with the sitting in the car and the watching a kid’s soccer game. Seriously. Minorly involved activities SUCK THE ENERGY right out lately. Like folding laundry. Or sitting up. TIRED. So, see you [...]"

wondering

October 04, 2006

"… if anyone would think less of me if they could see me now, sitting on my couch with the computer in my lap and Tostitos Lime crumbs on my shirt and the huge pregnancy-hormone zit on my lip. heh.

solemn vow

"No matter what happens, remind me that I said this: I WILL NOT WEAR ‘SKINNY’ JEANS OR LEGGINGS. It’s 2006, people. There’s a reason they went out of style in 1988.
