MMMmmm Yummy Treats!

Today, one of my students brought me in Halloween cookies and another brought in my favorite pie (French Silk). No, I did not eat it all, I shared LOL! The students are so cute, they keep saying Mrs. M the baby needs to eat too! They are worrying about how high my heels are and if I am getting enough rest! I am so truly blessed to have such caring and wonderful students.

A green olive, hold the martini please!!

Today, I start my 9th week! Baby bean , baby amphibian, baby raspberry is now baby green olive!

The baby is now in what is called fetus-hood and starting to resemble more of a baby. Some distinct facial features are even taking shape at this point! YAY!!! I also am told... here comes some baby weight! I am not sure of that yet if I am showing a bit or it is bloating... time will tell. I had a little nausea this morning, but nothing to complain about and nothing a few "starlight mints" couldn't take care of. Looking forward to even more changes as the days and weeks go by!!

Sandra and the infamous top!

My wonderful friend and colleague Sandra (mom #?, I have so many these days LOL) was raving about the top I wore today, so she wanted me to take a picture of it. Could it be the pastel pink? The flowing chiffon material? The empire style cut? Or perhaps the fact that for the first time, this top looks like a pregnancy top? Whatever the reason, Sandra you know I love you and this post is dedicated to you! xo

Book!

My sister in law Michele sent me the best book ever! The Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy, Or Everything Your Doctor Won't Tell You. I never laughed so hard reading a book. This book definitely relieves some stress because it puts such a humorous spin on EVERYTHING that is occurring to and in your body. I swear you really do begin to feel that something else has just taken control over you! In a good way of course... this is all such an adjustment, the crazy moods/hormones, exhaustion, foggy head LOL. I am enjoying every minute of it!

Hiking!

What a beautiful Saturday! Today, my little "raspberry (size) amphibian(webbed extremities)" and I with soon to be daddy Sal will be going on a hike. Not the usual switchback strenuous hike. But, a happy little calm trail with some degree of difficulty. I have continued to exercise, but have had to adjust my workout considerably by my Dr.'s orders! It is going to feel great to be outside and breathe in the fresh air!!! Camel pack check, sunscreen check, trail shoes check, sunglasses check, hat check, lip balm check, cell phone check... am I forgetting anything? I seem to forget EVERYTHING lately, pregnancy hormones I am told.. LOL. I think we are all ready to hike!

My little amphibian!

So, on the website I follow " What to expect when you are expecting" , baby bean has webbed feet and hands..hence my connotation to "little amphibian." The L.A. is also developing an upper lip and eyelids!! I am currently 8 weeks and 3 days!!
