guess what!
i’m pregnant! (smile!)
i think the word got out a little today. i did an online chat last night, at croppers cottage.. i really like those croppers cottage ladies… anyway… there were several questions about ‘what is going to be the next big trend!’ and i finally had to admit that my big trend is going to be about babies! admittedly, i am only like 5 minutes pregnant… so i really should not be saying a word… it’s pregnant enough to keep me from diving when i go on the crusie with becky higgins! (march 5-12)…is anyone coming on that? i seriously can’t wait! 7day cruise… but i did want to dive.
so! i am very excited… i haven’t been pregnant for about 5 years… and i have been so sick. i did finally get some anti-nausea medication… so that has helped! my little sister is pregnant with her first, and so is my sister-in-law… so there will be a few little ones all the same age! the kids are soooo excited… quincy of course is sure it’s a girl, and the boys are really hoping for a little brother…
so no triathalons this year… JUST a baby! sometime around august i think!
wish me luck!

Thanks for the inspiration!
