Last Tuesday was my last day of work. We went out to dinner to celebrate with Dave & Susan and had a great time, especially cause we had a crazy waitress who sympathized with me, and who watched me eat my steak like a hawk (A-1 sauce huh? Yes, I said, I have to have it with steak...I think she was offended or something). So far I'm enjoying unemployment, although somewhat bored already, and trying to fill my days with activities other than watching "Days of Our Lives" or "The Ellen Show"...
My mom came to Clearwater to surprise Mamaw for her birthday. So Thursday I went over there and we all went out to lunch at the nice Beachcomber restaurant to celebrate. Then rode around with Jenn and Phil looking at houses because they're house hunting now...always fun to see the inside of peoples' houses, right? We're keeping our fingers crossed for them that the right one will pop up. Later on that night, Phil's friend Mike came over, along with Mom, Mamaw and Papaw, and Jenn and Phil made a nice dinner (Phil always need an excuse to use his smoker, BBQ chicken, yummy). Thanks guys!
John and I didn't do anything for Valentine's Day because he worked late last night, then slept til about 1 today, then off to work again. But we did get to see his sister Charline, her hubby Alexis, and their little boys for a few minutes. They stopped by on their way down to Naples.
I did make him a mixed CD of love songs...awww how sweet!
Well, that's all this week. Hope everyone has a great Valentine's weekend!

Lemon baby
Yes, the baby is now the size of a lemon. Other info: Our adorable little fetus is busy with thumb sucking, toe wiggling, and (not so cute but equally amazing) making urine and breathing amniotic fluid as the liver, kidneys and spleen continue to develop. Lanugo (thin, downy hair) is growing all over the body for warmth. Only 26 more weeks to go...

Baby update
Hello!
Week 13 is here! First trimester is over...whew, that went fast! Went to OB appointment on Friday, Feb. 6. The first blood tests that I did last week turned out O.K. I'm back to my normal weight after losing some pounds from being sick. I guess I must have lost that weight from somewhere, because my stomach is actually getting a little bigger, like a little pooch. We met another of one the doctors at the practice and she was really nice. She did an ultrasound again so we can hear the heartbeat (very faint though, since he/she is still so small). I told her about my issues with my rib/muscle, which has started to hurt again. I think I might have pulled it/whacked it out of place sometime last week. I had gone to my regular doctor before I was pregnant and he did a chiropractic adjustment, which seemed to have helped. But I haven't gotten any since then because I was scared it might hurt the baby. Well, the OB said it would be o.k. after the 13th week, and that if the doctor could just do it without me laying on my stomach it should be o.k. The pain is only going to get worse because my rib cage is going to grow too. And I'm a bit concerned because it hurts to sleep on my left side, which is the side that is the healthiest to sleep on for the baby. So, when I got home I called the regular doc...receptionist said only one doc can do those adjustments...and he doesn't have anything open until March! Maybe they'll call me if there's an opening, or they can refer me to an outside chiropractor. We'll see...geez.
Other than that, baby's healthy, size of a peach now I think. Still a bit sick from time to time, but getting better. I think getting alot of sleep helps, and just not eating crazy foods or anything that's too acidic. Well, only a few more weeks now until we find out the sex of the baby, yay!!
That's all folks.
