What I've learned so far

I officially reached the 3 month mark a few weeks ago so good bye first trimester!  I've learned a lot so far but I'm not going to be sharing all of it.  You'll be thanking me for that.

1) I'm tired.  I'm ALWAYS tired.  I'm hoping that ends soon but even if it doesn't, there's two things I love about it.  I take a lot of naps.  And who doesn't love naps?  The other thing is I've finally gotten to the point where I can fall asleep at the drop of a hat.  That's always alluded me before and I'm hoping this continues long after the baby is here.  I've also been able to fall asleep just about anywhere, which is also a new thing.

2) If I'm hungry, give me food immediately!  I've never been one to deny myself food (that's pretty obvious) but eating has been very important to me.  Two things could happen if I don't eat - I become a raving lunatic and/or I get faint.  Neither of which is fun for anyone.  My purse has become a walking grocery store.  If you're hungry, come find me.  Chances are I could feed you a whole meal just out of my purse.

3) Like all other pregnant women, I no longer can sleep through the night without getting up to go to the bathroom.  The plus side is that our room is usually kept cleaner now as tripping over your shoes at 2 in the morning is not a fun thing.

4) Sports bras are the best thing ever.  Enough said.

5) Baby stuff is confusing.  There's so much stuff out there but who knows what you really need.  I guess I still have 6 months to figure out the big stuff but man, it's a bit overwhelming.  And by a bit, I mean alot!

So that's what I've learned so far.  I can't wait to see what I learn over the next few months.  It's such a fun experience.

A little bit about us

Eric was born in Arizona but spent much of his life in different states as his father was in the Army.  He's lived in California, Louisiana, and Germany, just to name a few.  His primary love in life (besides me) is golf.  He's played golf since he was a small kid and is really quite good at it.  He currently does inside sales for Cox Communications, our local cable/internet/phone provider.

Beth was born and raised in Phoenix, Az.  She's a bit more of a nerd than Eric is as her primary obsessions are reading, cross-stitching and, lately, cake decorating.  I work as a meeting planner for a healthcare association and absolutely adore planning events. 



We got married on October 2, 2004. We live in Anthem with our yellow lab, Fergie. We've got a great group of friends that we enjoy spending time with and really couldn't imagine life any other way.

We recently learned that we are expecting our first child on February 28, 2011.  We hope to use this blog to keep our friends and family, both near and far, informed on how things are going on our new and exciting adventure. 

So there you go. Our first post. Hopefully the ones in the future will be a little more exciting.
