I'm back!!

It's been a while!! So, we had a wonderful vacation and 7th anniversary celebration (holy cow!) and now we're trying to get back into the swing of things which is tough for the pregnant girl :)! We loved Puerto Rico and St. Thomas, but our absolute favorite was St. John, and now we are anxious to go back there to spend our entire vacation (we were only there for the day). The pic is of us overlooking Trunk Bay in St. John, one of the most beautiful beaches (well probably THE most beautiful beach) we've ever seen.

As far as the pregnancy goes, I'm feeling ok, still really tired and I'm having some episodes of queasiness, normally at night (I'm feeling yucky as we speak), and lots of food aversions which is very unusual for me, ha ha! It's so strange having foods that I normally love sounding horrible to me right now. My main aversions, at least today, are meat and vegetables, blech! I had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for dinner tonight - I guess Brad may be out of luck in the cooking department for a little while! I also have my first OB appt tomorrow afternoon! I'm excited but still feeling nervous, which I guess will never completely go away. We're very much looking forward to seeing the bambino again and hope and pray that he/she looks perfect :)!! Oh, by the way, I'm 9 weeks today! Time is already passing so quickly. Of course, the week vacation really helped in that department. It was really nice having a break from Dr. Google and all the message boards - I'm a bit obsessed!

I'm still trying to adjust to life without my sweet Dexter. It is going to take some getting used to. You don't realize how much you will miss the little things, like greeting him as soon as I walk in the door with a hi sweetpea! or leaving the shower door open in the morning so he can lick the water up, or seeing him laying in the bathroom doorway every morning while I get ready for work. I think we will eventually get another pet, probably another kitty. I'm not quite ready just yet, but I can't imagine being petless for too much of an extended time.
