It's baby season, apparently

Why prolong this post any longer? I'm fairly certain that nearly everyone I know (who reads this blog) is aware of our happy news. Joey and I have a bun in the oven! Okay, I know that saying is a little dated, but I just couldn't resist. Buns are so yummy... but I don't intend on eating this one when it's "fully cooked". Eww. Bad joke.

I'm sure many of you are aware of random pregnancy side effects, and I have not been spared these in the least. I have really random cravings that I haven't quite figured out yet, such as (today) Gobstoppers, (and every other day) Hickory sticks, orange juice, grapes, yogurt, grapes, grapes, orange juice, yogurt, pears, toast, milk, and toast. And grapes. The amount of healthy things on this list pleases me, because I generally do not crave healthy foods. I've figured out a general pattern for the foods I can't stand, however. Grease, ground beef, farmer sausage, overcooked vegetables, grease, grease, and ground beef. The pattern: overpowering flavours mixed with undesirable textures. I count myself as blessed, however, because my morning sickness, although persistent, never quite gets to the point of imminent release. Enough said.

My mom and dad have been out for a few days, and oh my word did I ever miss them! It's true that absence makes the heart grow fonder, but I'm pretty sure my insane hormones and baby bun have something to do with it. A hug from anyone else just doesn't do their hugs justice. Ever.

Whiny cat is back in our possession. We shipped her off to Grandma & Grandpa's (hee hee) for three weeks while Joey and I were engulfed in the Leadership Development Program. I was worried she'd come back all snobby and stuff, but she's back to her old, messed up self. I'm pretty sure she's rolling me onto my back at night just so she can sleep on my ever-expanding tummy because a) I NEVER sleep on my back, pregnant or not, and b) I keep waking up with her perched on top of me. Silly kitty. We may have some separation anxiety to deal with on her part when our NEW "pet" (as she'll see it) comes out. Poor kitty. Poor baby!!!!

That's just about it for news from my life. For news from Joey's life, check out his blog that he's abandoned. And leave an angry comment that makes him post again. Thanks!
