Mysterious Destinations and Unfulfilled Cravings

I have to give a little background to this story, first. I have a very warm place in my heart for pickles, and since being pregnant, have craved them with the force of a thousand suns.

So we were driving to California for Christmas yesterday, and Chase pulled off the freeway for yet another unauthorized stop (the only allowed unscheduled stops are pee-breaks). I insisted that he tell me what we were doing, as I saw nothing of interest on the side of the freeway. He assured me that it was a "mommy surprise" and that I would be delighted. I muttered under my breath that the only "mommy surprise" that would make the team right about now was a visit to "Pickles 'R' Us"...

We were turning into a Walmart parking lot, still supposedly enroute to our mysterious destination, when there, ahead to the left, was..........Mr. Pickles. We stared at each other in stunned astonishment. What are the chances?!?!

It was closed. We proceeded to our real mystery destination, Sonic.

Do Those Legs Go All The Way Up?

When Chase first saw this ultrasound picture he said, "but the legs don't attach!" I assured him, "oh, don't worry babe, that's just darkness"

To which he replied with concern, "he has a darkness on his legs?!"

I actually got to see the baby kick during this ultrasound, which my doctor said you usually have to watch for quite a while to see movement at this stage... so apparently we've got a football player on our hands (to Chase's delight and my chagrin)!

Looks like it's all going to be worth it....;)

Welcome!

  So, the official word on the street is that we are preggers!  Little Baby Reeves is baking as we speak, and will probably be ready to enjoy right around July 9, 2009! 

  I figured this would be the best way to keep people up to date on things as they progress.  This blog will be used, more often than not, to chronicle the array of hilarious and terrible moments that pregnancy seems to be comprised of (and Chase's reactions thereto).

  Oh, and maybe some pictures of my body as it becomes increasingly devoted to the task of making a baby.

  And, eventually some pics and stories about beautiful Baby Reeves...

  I'll hopefully update this pretty often (I'll find time somewhere in between all the puking, restless sleeping and bi-nightly refrigerator raids).  If I don't, well......tough!  ;)
