I just ate...
I just ate a cheeseburger. Doesn't sound all that impressive, does it? Well, I haven't had one since 1996. I have no idea what possessed me to eat one (I keep saying "the baby wants ...), but I figured since I actually wanted one, I'd get one. What I really wanted was a Big Mac, but figured that would be a bit much for my stomach to handle, so I toned it down a notch. We'll see how it sits!
I love our baby.
I think I've been in denial for the last 6 weeks or so since we found out... I mean, I know I'm pregnant, and I have morning sickness and bloating and bad skin to prove it, but I didn't FEEL pregnant, or really have a connection to the baby at all...
Until last night. (prepare for a little TMI)
I had to pee and didn't bother turning on the light (it was still kinda light outside). I saw a shadow that I thought was blood in my underwear and promptly started to freak out... It lasted all of .5 seconds until I could see it wasn't blood at all, but I still was shaken and started crying. Despite the 'high risk' label, the potential health problems, etc., that was the first time I was truly scared that I could lose the baby, and realized how much I love the little walmut.
Maybe it's sinking in? I have the NT scan next week, then a regular OB appointment - I get to see baby Cartz twice in one week! That'll hopefully make it all real again.

I heart Newport.
Newport was a blast! So much fun with the gang... many, many laughs and hysterical pictures to go with them!
I fell in love with Newport, too... I've been a few times, usually just on the main drag or to a specific mansion. This time, Amanda and I drove around before we left and it is just the cutest town... adorable shops, restaurants, beautiful houses, charming streets. I told C that's where I want to go for a babymoon...maybe 4 days or so this summer / early fall. I can't wait to go back for Mike's wedding next month!
Oh, and the conference in NJ was good too :) I actually did learn a lot, and hopefully its the jump-start I need to get going here at work!
