Red splotches

So, yes, I did get snowed in last Friday, but instead of waiting for a flight, I drove home. The typical 9 hour drive ended up being 13 hours with weather and traffic, but I was still home long before the flight would have gotten me here. Nothing like an unplanned roadtrip!

I also had another checkup yesterday and all is well. Tuna Unit's heatbeat is around 140 now, and she is busy all the time. I have these broken capillaries all over my chest and shoulders, which the doctor says is normal due to vascular changes. Looks great. :-)

An IBM baby?

The little girl loves it up here in Armonk! She has been super active all week while I am at the IBM headquarters taking some management training. We got to see the hall of IBM CEO portraits and the executive offices. She apparently has aspirations :-)

I wonder how she is going to like it if the snow prevents mommy from flying out today...? Everyone please cross your fingers that I have a safe day of travel and make it back to warm Raleigh.

Undulating waves

Some pregnancy developments...
* My belly moves like there is an alien inside - I guess there is, actually.
* My ribcage is cracking open like I am a crab at a seafood buffet.
* Strange muscles hurt in my back, abdomen, and legs.
* My feet become red, swollen little piggie feet after wearing shoes for more than an hour. I am wearing only flip flops.

I spent this past week in Boston for work, and the long days (8a-9:30p) were really tough to take. I am down to a Zofran about every other day now, but I do still need them, unfortunately. I am just so glad to have these pills because I don't know how I would have made it this long being so sick, knowing now that apparently my "first trimester morning sickness" didn't go away.

Ryan and I put together all of the nursery furniture last weekend (without fighting!), and I am starting to add the cute touches - the closet looks so adorable with the tiny clothes and tiny hangers!

I am posting some new belly pics in the belly pic post, so check out my big belly. I can't imagaine how I am going to keep growing for nearly 4 more months of this! I have gained about 12 lbs now.
