Happy Birthday!

D.K. officially hit the BIG 3-0 today. I am not sure that he really felt any different, but he did say that he fell to his knees when he got out of bed this morning. No, he is not aging that quickly...he is training for a 5K in April and ran pretty hard yesterday. I will obviously not be running with him, but I will definitely cheer him on from the sidelines!

We Survived

For anyone who has been keeping up with the national weather, you know that Lubbock would surely be facing the end of the world this weekend. That's right, 15" of snow and power outages were definitely on their way. The local weather forecasters were recommending that everyone go out and stock up on fire wood and enough food to survive a few days without power. We did not go get all the needed supplies because I was dying from all day sickness and contemplating the hospital. Besides, any food I ate was just going to go straight down the toilet any way. Even without our rations, we made it through and, God willing, we will be waking up to another day tomorrow.

Although predicting the weather is normally such an exact science, they were a little off this time. The end of the world only brought a few inches of ice on Friday and a few inches of snow on Saturday. That power outage must have happened during the few short hours of the night that I was actually sleeping. (My body is already preparing me for those nightly feedings by waking me up every few hours to pee! Isn't that wonderful.) Well...We just wanted to assure all of you that we are doing just fine...No need to call out the national guard.

What a Beautiful Sound!

We went to the doctor last week and we got to hear the heartbeat for the first time. It was awesome. I cried a little, and I could blame it on the hormones, but I was a little emotional before the pregnancy. The doctor was pleased with our progress. She gave me a new prescription for morning sickness (who are we kidding...all day sickness) and it seems to be working pretty well. Her main concern now is that I start to gain weight and stop loosing it. She did put me on a fantastic diet. The high calorie diet. Basically she wants me eating whatever I can keep down, which seems to only be junk food. We go back to the doctor again and three weeks to check our progress.
