Happy Birthday 92nd Birthday Grandpa!

I know...

I know... its for a good cause, but why does your fat have to re-allocate itself to your waste when you are pregnant? My pants are already getting tight and at 13 weeks that's inexcusable! On a good note, I haven't gained a pound. Not sure how that is all working out. Maybe I'm just trading my muscle for fat?

I know... that men have NO idea what women are really going through when we are pregnant. WE ARE GROWING A HUMAN INSIDE OUR BODY. Please, just stop and think about that for a minute.

I know...that I could use a walk, but you know what? I just don't feel like it today.

I know... that being pregnant has numerous effects on you, but do they go away or come back once you give birth? I have lost my memory, my energy, my sleep (I know this part is gone forever), my patience, and above all, my BODY! And these are just the things I can remember!

I know...I am extra bitchy these days, sorry but you just have to get over it for another 6 months or so.

And finally, I know...Its only going to get worse, especially when I'm 200 pounds in 100 degree weather.

And then there were...

THREE!

Dylan and I are VERY happy to announce that we are EXPECTING!

I am 12 weeks along and due on September 3rd!

We have had 3 sonograms and all is well! We have seen the heart beat several times but will get to finally hear it on March 2! So, we figured it was time to spread the news!

We are excited, nervous, and everything in between. Say a little prayer for us and Baby to Be!

Playa Update

Playa is back to normal. We took her to the vet for her 3rd check up today and she was given a clean bill of health. She's back to her old hyper self and annoying her big sister Carmen as usual.

Liz's Baby Shower

My girlfriend, Liz was in town over the weekend for a Baby Shower that was thrown by myself, Lauren, and her Mother. Its so fun to see all the little baby clothes. Crazy to think we were all that small once.

She looks so cute with her little belly growing. (Liz is on the left)

Vail

Last month, Dylan and went to Vail for 7 days. It was so great to get away and spend time with some friends in the snow.

Dylan hadn't skied or snowboarded before and I had only been 2 or 3 times so we were excited for something new and different. Dylan decided he wanted to try snowboarding instead of skiing for the week. After Dylan knocked himself out the first day, I was questioning whether or not I would let him back up the mountain! Thankfully he had a helmet on but that just says how hard he must have hit his head.

The rest of the week went much better. I skied 3 days, he snowboarded 4, we went to the Spa one day, relaxed one day, and visited other villages, i.e. Beaver Creek, another day.

We went with 5 other couples and stayed at Barry and Julia Watts' condo. The condo was perfect for everyone and we really appreciated them opening their home to us!

We were there for my birthday too! What more could I have asked for?!?!?!?!

Poor Little Playa

Playa is tiny. She is the cutest most precious little puppy ever. Unfortunately, that all came back to bite her this week.

Dylan was brushing his teeth last night and when he finished he stepped back. Little Playa must have really wanted to hang out with Dad at that moment because she ended up under his foot. She, of course, yelped and started to limp.

We were hoping she would be walking normal this morning but that wasn't the case, sadly. I called the vet this morning and took her in. We had a couple options but decided the best thing to do was to get her a prescription for an anti-inflamatory and keep an eye on her for improvement. If she isn't better by Thursday evening we will have to take her back for X-rays.

Dylan feels terrible and can't even look at her without feeling extreme guilt. I told him the vet said this type of thing is VERY common with little dogs, but that isn't helping him feel any better.

We will keep you posted.
