It’s been more than a week since my last posting, but I promise I will get better at posting more regularly.  I just spent the week in St. Louis at a wonderful work conference and it kept me quite busy.  I am closing in on the end of week 9.  Always seem to have the gag reflex lately, but rarely do I actually throw up.  I save that for when I am around Gordy and this point – really freaks him out.  Just kidding!

Week 9 has a lot going in inside the womb.  It’s officially a fetus and it’s the size of a hen’s egg!  Amazing.   My waistline hasn’t changed other than the blessed, inherited stomach fat I have is still there.  Now I will just have a very good excuse for that fat to get big right!  No real food cravings yet, but I do need to eat and eat often or I do get very sick feeling.  I did buy myself a jar of dill pickles the other day just in case.  Well on to the fun stuff!

Good things this week include:

• Gordy is still taking care of the 3 cats who make a whole lot of waste.
• Thanks to Gordy and my dad, I can sit (or sleep) in front of our new fireplace!
• Receiving free baby magazines and signing up for all kinds of baby website stuff.
• More ice and snow on the way (oh wait – that should really be on the bad list)

Bad things this week include:

• Starting to feel very tired and this queasy stuff is for the birds.
• I didn’t have Gordy around at my conference this week to spoil me.
• Cried all the way through the Grey’s Anatomy episode last night. It was so cool to see Denny on the afterlife side.

Unsolicited Advice received this week:

• I love that fact that I started this because now I am getting even more advice – keep it coming.
• When a young child is throwing up, there is not much you can do for them other than get rid of the pucky clothes, stack up the towels and get ready for the next round!  Fisk Family – get well!
• Did you know you can receive a free book, “The Complete and Authoriatitive Guide:  Caring for your Baby and Younch Child” from State Farm?  State Farm is giving away this book for expectant parents and parents to child under one year of age.  Call 1-888-733-8368.  I received my book TODAY by mail – it’s awesome.  I wanted to provide the link that I used to sign up online for it, but it appears to be gone.  If  someone finds it out there the login name and password are:  “good” and “neighbor”
• Eat more crackers, did you eat crackers before you got out of bed, saltines are the best.
• As most men probably think there part is done for the next 9 months, don’t forget about the Lamaze Classes! – love this one.
