A Wee Babe...

IS ON THE WAY!

(for Cameron and I, that is)

i am about 17 weeks currently. so far, i'm not really showing. i just look a bit pudgy. i must say, this is hard to deal with since I am used to being more on the lean side. we will hopefully be able to find out the sex on June 9th. Cameron would love to have a boy first, but says that a wee lass would be "so cute." As for me, I honestly don't really have a preference. I also don't have any intuition telling me one way or the other. I've had some dreams where it's been a boy, and then a girl. My friend had a dream that he daughter was born an alligator, and as it turns out, she was indeed a HUMAN girl.

I never really had the morning sickness. I was nauseous for about 2 weeks or so, but it was nothing that made me dry heave, gag, or miss work. I did have the knock-you-upside-the-head exhasution that everyone talks about - boy is that rough!

Cameron has been so nice through the whole thing and has picked up many of the chores that I used to take care of. Now (thankfully) I have my energy back and am getting excited to embark upon this new chapter of our life together.

I am still doing my kickboxing classes and my running now that I am not so tired. i hope that i can continue those for a good while. although it probably won't keep the weight down, it will at least make me THINK that I am.

Oh yeah, that baby is due November 2.
