+ Updates +
There's not a lot to update, but I'm sure I'll think of some. I went home Friday from work with some mystery illness, but it's probably somehow pregnancy-related. I was feeling much better by Friday night. The weekend sped by. Your Grandma Laurie and I went shopping on Saturday; we spent FIVE hours at Arizona Mills! Not surprisingly, I bought quite a few maternity clothes (good deals too; I got white jeans for $2.99 at the JCPenny outlet!), and Grandma and I bought some irresistable clothes for you. Of course, I have to remember to be surprised at your shower when I see them. The pj's I got for you are 18-month, so you won't see them for a while. But they are SOOOO cute! They are white and pink 2-piece pj's with a picture of a scottie dog in pink and a little 4-line poem about the scottie. I don't remember it all, but the end had the scottie running and jumping and coming back to lick your face. Little do you know now, but this is exactly what your life with Princess Fiona will really be like.

Speaking of scottie kisses, last evening we went for dinner at Grandpa John and Grandma Carol-Ann's house. Aunt Chelsie, Uncle C.R., and Uncles Chris and Mason were present too. There were four related Scottish Terriers and one unrelated dachsund tearing up the backyard. Mickey Lok (Princess's second cousin, I guess) jumped up on my lap and proceeded to completely remove my makeup! Ewwww! I have never been licked that much by a dog! We got some wonderful gifts from Grandma and Grandpa, including some cute clothes, hooded towels and lots of waterproof pads. How nice of them! Aunt Chelsie also gave me a half-ton of cocoa butter lotion for my rapidly-expanding belly.

You weren't terribly active on Saturday, but the remainder of the time, you were dancing jigs. You kept me awake some of the nights by poking me in whatever position I tried. That was really fun, thanks. Otherwise, things are good. We're 22.5 weeks. Daddy took a picture of us and my big ol' belly yesterday, which we'll do monthly from now on. So when we get that film developed, I'll put it on here somewhere with a password. It will probably be a while, though. I am very slow about developing film. The film in the camera already is probably at least 6 months old! Oh, well. We have a Dr's appointment on Wednesday (Grandma Laurie's birthday!), and I expect you have probably made me gain 10 pounds in the last 5 weeks. Hee hee. I guess we'll see. Speaking of gaining weight, it's time for lunch, so off we go!
