SO...for those of you who dont know, I am pregnant. Man, how that word has evolved in my head over my lifetime. I remember when I was 16, the word pregnant meant "Oh shit, I am late on my period, I better get to Planned Parenthood immediately." And when I was 19, that word meant "Man, I hope I get married someday and get PREGNANT. And when I was 23 that word meant "I better not get pregnant, my baby will have fetal alcohol syndrome." And when I was 27 that word meant "Oh how cute, a little baby with tiny clothes and little tiny feet and hands." And now that I am 32, the word PREGNANT means "barf, barf, barf...er, wait, OMG, honey, we are actually having a baby!!!"
I puked so hard yesterday that I popped blood vessels in my face. Yes, little tiny blood vessels all over my face. People at my work thought I had the measles, like Jan Brady or some shit. Who gets the measles other than one of the Brady Bunch to show that the moral of having measles is that that being sick can actually be a good thing because your parents pay attention to you and your dog, Tiger, spends the day with you in bed. But later in the episode, only to find out that you are allergic to your dad. And then later to find out that you are actually only allergic to Tiger, thank goodness.
This blogging thing is weird. I am not even making sense. No clue why I flashed on the Brady Bunch, but I do remember that episode. I remember being really stressed that Jan was actually allergic to her dad. Weird. I bet back then, I barely even knew what the word 'pregnancy" meant.
So...we are 18 weeks along and all is good other than my "morning" sickness. I am one of the lucky ones who still gets sick in the 2nd trimester. Thank goodness for Zofran.
Exciting news: we find out the sex of the baby on Monday. I never knew how important it is to know the sex of a child. I dont know how our parents used to be surprised. The suspense has been killing us :)
Enough for my first ever blog post. Stay tuned for more barf stories :)

YAY Barf and YAY Baby!!
Let me know the gender when you find out!! I can't wait!!!!!!!
Loki and your baby belly have grown so much since I last saw you! I will probably be a 2nd trimester barfer as well. Let me know if I can bring you any pop tarts...or are those even desirable anymore? I do have girl scout cookies for you! I'm out of town this weekend so perhaps Monday evening I will come by. See you soon!
Yeah!! Welcome to the world of blogging!! Can't wait to hear what the gender is!! :)
WOW! SO happy for you and Nick. Can't wait to find out- son or daughter. Hang in there with the barfing, one day it will just be a passing thought that will make you laugh. Keep the pictures coming. You look great and happy. With love in Mexico.
Skeeper - I have tears reading about you! I'm so excited for you! I can't believe the good news! We're trying right now for a baby as well. A bit scary since Cameron is almost 10 but very exciting at the same time. I'm so sorry to hear that you have been so sick. Hopefully it will pass soon enough! I'll give you a call soon - too much to catch up on!!! Congratulations!!!! Love, Smooshie
Oh my goodness!! I'm so incredibly happy for you and the saint!! Funny, if it's a girl, I just won't feel right calling you splinter! Congratulations Jo! I want to hold your baby.
SHUT UP! I cannot believe you are pregnant. Marsha, Marsha, Marsha! Jan and her measles...good times. Anywho, I can't stand the suspense...what are you having (I know...a baby, but like, what kind of equipment was it sporting in the ultrasound). Inquiring minds want to know. This is crazy. If I didn't see the pictures, I wouldn't believe it! Congrats on your little Knight! "Chuck"
