Belly Laughs

A friend of mine just gave me the book Belly Laughs written by Jenny McCarthy and after being so tired that night and going to sleep at 8:30 I woke up at 2:30 in the morning to go to the bathroom and was wide awake. I was up til 4:30 a.m. and in that time read the entire book. I heard the book was a quick and funny read filled with the blunt truth of what Jenny McCarthy experienced while pregnant and it sure was. I really feel for that girl, she had it pretty rough sometimes. If you haven't read the book yet I definitely recommend that you do, pregnant or not, you might be surprised.

We had another ultrasound this week and everything is still looking great. We got a great picture of the arm and Corey quickly pointed out that the correct bones were visible. I was just thinking that it was great that our baby was waving to us. It is so crazy to see how much the baby has grown and it is such a great feeling to see him/her (by the way we will definitely find out the sex as soon as possible) move around and hearing the heartbeat is absolutely priceless. I imagine I will be in awe each and every time we get to experience this. As I said before it is so reassuring at this stage to hear and see these things because I am not quite showing yet and am not feeling any movement inside me yet. My nausea has subsided but I am still hitting a brick wall around the 9:00 hour. I haven't had any specific cravings, but definitely have the craving to eat!


Ok...as for the Husker game last weekend! The end result was not what we were looking for, but the weekend was GREAT! It took us 7 1/2 hours to get to KC and another 3 hours to get to Lincoln. We split the drive up each way. We were able to spend time with lots of great friends and had a blast. I was even a trooper on Saturday night and was out with the gang until 2 or so in the a.m. Cheryl was a very gracious host as we arrived late Sat. night/Sun. morning with 6 extra guests to spend the night. THANKS!


Liston and Laila also had lots of fun playing with Lola and Jazz. We made several attempts to get a "good" picture of the four of them together and this is the best that I could get.

We are looking forward to my mom and aunt's arrival next week and we are also looking forward to my cousin Carrie's (and Paul's) baby arriving any day now (she was due on the 19th)!

Until next time...Have a great weekend!

Happy Birthday Ashley!!!! Happy Anniversary Mike and Maggie!!!!

I will have to keep that book in mind. :) Thanks for sharing! I bet with her being comedian-like in nature, the book was amusing, too.
