Super Bowl

We went to the church again for their Super Bowl party and once again it was a big ol' bash. Tons of food, games, prizes and a good game if you are rooting for Pittsburgh. We are not. P. doesn't like the Steelers and if I don't prefer one team over the other I always root for the underdog. So far it is not going our way, but that's ok, it is a good game.

This year we had Pete so the party was a little different for us. Not bad different, just different. I found myself watching my sweet boy more than the game. I was more concerned with entertaining him than being entertained. And he did great. At first he hung back and checked everything out from his car seat. Then when he felt safe enough to come out he hung out in his highchair playing with football decorations that were on the table. When he got antsy I walked him around to check out all the kids playing Wii, ping pong, and this football punting game. He would get everyone's attention by staring at them or grunting at them then smile and wave. Then while we ate some dessert he ate some cereal and we headed home at half time to get him to bed. He is a great boy and we can take him anywhere. Here are some pics from tonight and one from this past week of him and the dogs.Oh and his new favorite thing is to hang upside down when dad puts him on his shoulders.
12 weeks! Officially through the first trimester. I have been soooo hungry the past couple of days. For about 2 months now I have survived on bland crackers/toast, cereals and fruit. The baby must have gotten hungry because all of a sudden no matter what I eat it is not enough. I can eat a full breakfast and be hungry a half hour later. Last night we went to Panera for dinner. I had a sandwich, salad, bag of chips and an iced-tea. Then I ate a bagel with cream cheese. Then I had P. go back and get me another bagel and cream cheese. About an hour later we had snacks, punch and birthday cake at a friends house. I don't want to eat this much and I am not trying to eat a lot, I am just starving. Hopefully it will calm down in a few days. Maybe the baby is going through a growth spurt. The morning sickness has been worse the past few days and I have felt some tugging, pulling and cramping lately so the baby might be growing. Overall the morning sickness is better than it was but I still deal with it every day. My evenings and nights are pretty miserable still. So I am getting pretty excited about the new baby. I can't wait to hold him/her for the first time and lay them on my chest. I can't wait to see their face.

Time to put my feet up. Have a great week!
