the hubs

this weekend adam told me he was playing his monthly poker game on monday night. i ranted and raved a little bit about it not feeling like it was a month ago and it was already! i guess between getting ready for Christmas, fighting off a cold and well - thinking aout other things - I forgot about it.

I made dinner tonight. Adam stopped and picked up a few things at the store for me and came home. He sat by me on the couch. Then he said, "when the timer goes off will dinner be done?" I said, "yes, why?" - he said, "it's poker night" and then - the tears rolled down my face. I couldn't stop.

I love that man.

Pregnancy Hormones 101 my friends.

update

I must go on this blog three times a day. Not to post anything. For the simple reason that i have this expectation that other people will have posted something on their blog and I expect updates. Sometimes I amaze myself how I can expect something of someone else - but not expect the same of myself.

Everyone that reads this - i think - are all pretty much my Facebook friends - so everyone knows we're having baby. We're obviously thrilled and over the moon about it but at the same time - I try to keep it low key. I understand the struggle. I try not to touch my starting to expand belly in public because i understand how gut wrenching horrible it feels to someone who doesn't have that. It's crazy because now - being 14 weeks pregnant - I sometimes look at another pregnant person and give them the look of death - before I realize that it's ok now. It was always ok to smile at them.

Adam is beyond thrilled. He cracks me up. He will do just about anything for me and seldom complains & only once and a while throws out the - you're out of control statement - in which I quickly reply back - this (as i'm pointing to my belly) you don't understand - this - so just do it now and i don't need your attitude. it works. he's amazing.

I'm scary organized this holiday season. I need to finish ordering a calendar for my grandmother and pick up something at best buy for my dad and then I'm done. Decorations are up - just not the tree - I'm still trying to win on the real tree debate.

My family is healthy and happy - to be honest that's all I've wanted for a long long time. I'm so thankful.


This year for thanksgiving I had everyone in my family write down what they were thankful for and put it in a thankful vase - as we were eating dinner we passed the vase around and each took out one thing to share until they were all gone. I saved them all and made a great collage/picture for my folks for Christmas. The kids loved doing it too!
