I think she had more fun at the farm...

While Ted & I were in San Diego last week, Shelby spent 7 days with my parents out at the farm. We got her back last night, and she is STILL RECOVERING. She has been sleeping almost non-stop since she got home. I wonder why....

A day in the life of Shelby at home....

I would have to say that our little doggy was well taken care of last week. Her cousins, Courtney & Garrett made sure she had a great time! Thanks everyone for taking such good care of Shelby while we were gone!

San Diego Trip

Well, we ended up taking a last minute trip to San Diego, California last week for spring break. I ended up getting the week off, so I searched for a conference somewhere cool, so we would have a place to go. My work pays for one big continuing education trip per year (pretty neat, huh?), so everything but food and entertainment were covered. Ted had a free flight, so that really made it nice. I ended up going to the conference for two days, and skipped the other two so we could play together. He spent the first two days playing golf (including a round at the famous Torrey Pines course) while I was in class. We also went to the Zoo, checked out the beaches, parks, did some wine tasting (or very minor sipping in my case), and ate at some really cool places. We had a really nice time. We rented a convertible while we were there, so we spent one day with the top down cruising the beaches. It was a much needed vacation, and probably our last one before the baby comes....

Speaking of the baby... as I was packing last week, I noticed that hardly any of my clothes (mainly my jeans and shorts) fit! At the last minute I had to run to the store to buy a few maternity clothes. While we were in San Diego, I did a little shopping too. I found a store that I LOVED and probably need to stay as far away from as possible (it's a good thing there aren't any in Temple). It's called a Pea in a Pod. Everything is so cute and fit so good, but you can't afford to buy much! Anyways... so I am officially wearing some maternity clothes now and starting to look like I'm actually pregnant. I'm looking foward to our ultrasound in 3 weeks. I can't believe we're about to know what we're having . Ted is convinced that we will be rushing to Lowe's on April 15th to paint the nursery. I told him I would at least wait until this summer... (he said "sure...."). I've posted a few pictures of our trip below. I'll try to post some more later this week!

15 1/2 weeks in San Diego, wearing maternity clothes and finally looking pregnant!

14 Week Appointment

I had an appointment with my OB (Dr. Kohl-Thomas) today. It was a quick appointment, so Ted didn't go with me for this one. I got to hear the heart beat with the doppler for the first time, which was such a relief. It was about 156 beats/minute. Everything looked great. My labs from last time were perfect, except I will be getting the Rhogam shot since I am Rh-negative (which I already knew). They wanted to go ahead and set up all of my OB appointments, so I now have everything set up through the beginning of September. My next appointment will be April 15th. I will also have my ultrasound that day, so we'll know in about 5 weeks or so whether we get to start shopping for pink or blue!
I am feeling great right now. The past 2 weeks have been wonderful. I basically feel "normal." No more nausea or feeling tired. YAH!!!! I'm still wearing my own clothes, just looser shirts. It won't be long though!
Until next time....
