Quick Update

Since we have told everyone about our pregnancy there has been an amazing outpouring of love and support. We want to thank everyone! We want to especially thank everyone who sent a card or present. We are saving all the cards to put into a scrapbook of my pregnancy.

We have scheduled our first doctor’s appointment for next Friday the 26th. We’ll update everyone afterwards. So far everything has been going well. No morning sickness (knock on wood). Tony has been fulfilling his promise to rub my feet every night; it has been pretty awesome! However, Sunday I did have my first ‘hormonal freak out.’ I had baked a cake to take over to a friend’s house for a dinner party get together. I then went to frost the cake; this is when the problems started. Now normally I am a good baker. Today the frosting stuck to the top layer of the cake and ripped it off. The cake got mixed in with the frosting, and no matter how hard I tried I couldn’t fix it. I just kept making it worse. So finally (after swearing- which I gave up for lent) I ‘threw in the towel.’ Or more appropriately, I suppose, I ‘threw in the knife.’

Then I retreated to the couch with the rest of the frosting to seethe.

Tony was a little frightened, but was able to hide his fear and make sure that I was okay. He was so sweet, offering to throw away the offending cake (we kept it for later consumption) and even went to the store to buy a more presentable dessert. Then we were able to laugh together about my first pregnancy freak out.
