Much to our surprise, we woke up not to rain this morning, but to snow. Further proof that the weathermen here in town have NO clue what the heck is going on with our weather. I don’t think they’ve gotten a single thing right this entire last week. Like Friday night when they assured us that the Truckee River would *not* jump it’s banks. What happened Saturday? Flood City. Last night they were telling us, we might get a little snow above 5500 feet, but it wasn’t looking too likely. And if so, it’d only be for a few hours before turning into rain. Nope, it snowed and it snowed all day long.
True, one would expect more snow to remain in our yard if it’d been snowing all day. But it was a pretty wet storm, on top of a wet storm… so the snow sorta had a hard time keeping up. But there was enough for a snowman and a snowball fight, which was good enough for my son. So he and K went out and had a blast. You know, before it melts and rains some more.

Thought it was time to give a little “I’m PREGNANT?!” update.? Yeah, still not quite believing it, even though I did pass the 10 week mark. We’re getting close to when we can start telling people.? I’m *so* impressed that we haven’t told a soul yet.? Well, we’ve told a couple souls (including all of you out in Blogland, you should feel special), but most everyone has no idea.
And we had no problem getting through the holidays, either.? We put a “Parents to Be: 2005″ ornament on our tree upstairs but my parents didn’t see it while they were here (HEE HEE!).? My mom did ask at one point how things were going on the baby front.? I didn’t lie, not exactly.? I just didn’t really answer her.? I replied, “They’re going.” And when she asked if we’d been sucessful yet, I simply said, “Well, we have an appointment after New Years.”? Very crafty. 
My tummy is starting to pooch out a bit though.? I notice it especially when laying in bed.? Whereas my belly fat would often just fall to the sides, I now have a significant bump poking up when I lay on my back.? And that’s another thing; I can’t lay on my back for more than five minutes any longer.? I start to feel ill and out of breath. Isn’t it a BIT early to feeling that?
Also, the needing to eat on time thing is still in effect.? In fact, right now it’s nearly 10:30 and I have yet to eat breakfast and I’m starting to feel pretty iffy.? But I’m stubborn to a fault, so it’s going to wait a little bit longer.? Still get heartburn pretty regularly.? It’s gotten to the point where I hardly notice it anymore.
I have my second u/s with the RE’s office tomorrow.? A little nervous, of course.? But I feel a lot like I did before the last u/s.? Nervous but optimistic.? But I know I’ll be a wreck by the time the appointment rolls around tomorrow.? My anxiety has been so foreign to me.? For example, yesterday we did some shopping at the mall and I started having an anxiety attack inside Motherhood.? The notion of purchasing maternity clothes had me completely freaked out.? I am, deep down, excited about this appointment.? I want to see that heartbeat, maybe even hear it.? See how he or she is growing in there.? So I’m trying hard not to dread it.
Anyhow, that’s how things are going around here.? Wish me luck tomorrow!
