Welcome summer!!!!

I can't believe Memorial Day weekend is here already! Although I am certainly not complaining, as this is one of my most favorite times of the year.

With our most recent news though, I will have to make some slight changes, which means avoiding getting a ton of sun at the beach like I usually do this time each year. Oh well.........I think the trade-off will be worth it ;).

Anyways, this weekend is pretty packed already...........tonight I am planning to go grocery shopping to prepare for our big shin-dig backyard BBQ we are throwing on Monday. My reason for going so early is to beat the crowd through the rest of the weekend. We have over 35 people coming on Monday so I also have to get started straightening up the house, picking up extra chairs and such from the in-laws, going to the liquor store for booze I can't drink LOL and just getting everything ready to go in general.

Tommorrow is the big annual Jones Beach airshow which we plan to hit early with our friends from down the block. That's something we've been looking forward to since this time last year.

Sunday is my friend Jen's Memorial Day BBQ so that will be a good time to catch up with friends.

And then it will be Monday already. The weather is supposed to be sunny in the high 70's-low 80's this weekend. I can't wait! I am making the big announcement to the rest of my friends and family who don't know about the little peanut on Monday!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone and stay safe!!!

So it's been awhile..........

since I last posted. I guess my life had become somewhat boring and monotonous for a bit, which was my main reason for not posting on here. That and well, I've been quite nervous since last weekend...............with that said, I do have some new earth shattering news though (at least in my world!).......I find it laughable that my last post was about getting a new puppy..........because I confirmed this morning in fact that I am about 6.5 weeks preggo with our first child!

S/he is due around January 14, 2009.

I had my first sonogram today and I saw the baby's heart beat!! It was probably the most amazing experience of my life so far. Now, coming to terms with the fact that there's a living human being growing inside me, I don't know what to do with myself. I cannot describe the feelings that are going through my mind right now........

I do hope that I can maintain the same attitude my husband and I had about conceiving to begin with and just let whatever happens, happen. I want to enjoy this experience and take it in stride.

I also feel like there's a light at the end of the tunnel now in terms of what my decision with work/career is probably going to end up being...........stay tuned........
