baby wants some BRATS!

so this weekend is the annual madison brat fest. this is an event we look forward to every year, and we miss the days when it was twice a year (memorial day weekend and labor day weekend). i have been craving brats like you wouldn't believe, so baba ghannouj is going to get what he/she wants. with lots of sauerkraut, onion, and spicy mustard. mmm...ok, i'm hungry now. and you know what would go really well with those brats? beer. sigh.

2nd appointment

i had my 2nd prenatal appointment yesterday and all is well. baby is measuring right on schedule, heartbeat is great, everything's good. i'm not feeling the greatest, but i'm starting to come to terms with the fact that it just might be that way this time around. sigh.

oh, and parenthetically...

happy birthday to me. :)

woohoo!

as of tomorrow, my first trimester is OVAH! take that, nausea! take that, bone-crunching tiredness! take that, food aversions! no? those are here to stay? sigh. poor hot dogs and krunchers brand potato chips.

anyway, for reals, everything is going well. abby's getting more and more excited about being a big sister. we've pretty much decided that we're finding out the sex of the baby this time around, but ha ha ha, we're not going to share it with everyone. we're definitely not sharing it with abby because she knows the name choices and would open her big mouth way too much. :) we have 3 names for each sex right now, and it is now the final list. in about 6 weeks, 3 names will become moot.
