Feeling much better here, and never had to use the Neti Pot =)
Exciting day today, woke up and attempted to purchase Billy Joel/Elton John tickets, for anyone who doesn't know they are playing at Wrigley Field in July. After some aggravation at the website tickets.com which wasn't prepared for all of the traffic, John was able to get us some pretty good seats, lower deck row 1 a little to the right of home plate. I was excited to be in the first row for 2 reasons; 1) I am short and will therefore be able to see much better, and b) By July 21 I will be almost 8 months pregnant so I will hopefully have a little more space in the 1st row and not have to walk up as many stairs. I am REALLY looking forward to this show. I have seen Billy Joel a few times and he is wonderful, and last time he toured with Elton John I missed it, and was dissappointed, so this show should be awesome-not to mention seeing them play at Wrigley!
Not much else to report here, hope you all have a Happy Valentine's Day!

All Stuffed Up
Just about a week ago I remember thinking *Wow these prenatal vitamins must be magic I haven't gotten sick in a while!* For those of you who don't know I work with 14 two year olds that are constantly coughing and sneezing on me, and I frequently have a cold as a result of this.
So here I was thinking how lucky I was and then BAM! I got hit with a cold. So I have spent the last two days home with a general feeling of not being able to breathe and a cough. I am technically allowed to take Sudafed and Tylenol but I really don't trust that, and feel it's best to just stick with fluids and rest. My boss suggested a product called the Neti Pot, John and I had a good laugh googling that and watching the instructional video. I am sure it is helpful but I don't know if I can do that, we'll see how desperate I get.
So not much else going on here, lots of surfing the web, daytime television (I love The View) and magazine reading (I'm all caught up on Us Weekly, People, and Pregnancy). Apparently we are experiencing a heat wave today, high of 63, so I may step outside for some fresh air. Thank goodness all of our snow is finally melting.
Hope you all have a good day!

Twins?
One month ago today John and I found out some exciting news…
Yep that’s right I'm pregnant. Although some of you already knew this news, I had been waiting to post on my blog until my first doctors appointment. Being one of the first of my friends to go through this process I thought this would be a good forum to provide you with the details of life as a pregnant woman.
People often ask you how you’re feeling when you’re pregnant, and I can only describe it as feeling like someone has taken over my body, which I guess is true. I can no longer rely on the things I know I love to eat. For example the baby has broken up my relationship with bacon, a food I have enjoyed a love affair with for almost 29 years. I have always been a person who NEEDED coffee to function and truly loved the taste of a good cup of joe-well no longer. Going to the Superbowl party was interesting. A day I used to look forward to being able to eat all kinds of yummy treats, was reduced to taking a bite of many favorites only to find out that they tasted disgusting to me and handing them off to John. Don’t worry there are some foods that I now find I love. In the last 3 days I ate an entire box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, bagels and cream cheese are a favorite, pasta, granola bars, and frozen yogurt are up there too.
Even my nose has turned on me, requiring John to do things like clean out the refrigerator, clean the litter box quite often, and basically get rid of anything with even the slightest odor. My assistant at work last week even had to take out a garbage filled with half eaten bowls of cheerios for fear I would throw up on the kids.
And I’m not even going to get started on the amount of time I spend peeing lately.
Other than those issues I have been fortunate enough to feel okay, I know many women have it MUCH worse. And I am told these “symptoms” (except for the peeing) will subside after the first trimester.
John and I went in for our first ob/gyn appointment last Wednesday, everything went well, I appear to be in good health and the baby is doing well. Our Dr. tried to freak us out a bit by thinking that she saw two heartbeats, (you can imagine our own heartbeats at that moment) but it seems the baby was just in a curled position that made it “look” like two heartbeats. So no twins for now. Here are some pictures from the visit.
