Introduction

I put together a blog for a couple of reasons: to share fun pictures of me as I'm expanding (I posted the ones I have up to now), keep anyone who is interested up-to-date, and to post information about the baby shower (because after thinking about it and in collaboration with my lovely sister-in-law Kerry, she'll be throwing a "thrifty" shower...more info on the Baby Shower page).

The good news currently is that I'm pretty much past the 24/7 nausea I had for 6 or 8 weeks. Yay! The bad news is I have some sort of nerve pain now starting in my hips and going down my thighs, making the exotic adventures of standing and walking painful. They think it might get better once the babies move a little further up and out. I got a (extremely attractive) pregnancy belt that might help, but is mostly for the back pain I will be facing sooner or later.

Let me finish out this post with something positive...I'm to the ravenous stage and get to eat pretty much whenever and whatever. And a quick shout-out to Kurt, who has been amazingly accommodating and helpful and will be an excellent daddy :-)
