Get me out of here!

I am sitting at work and I start to feel Baby J kicking really hard.  I look down at my belly and I can actually see the kicking occurring.  There is a little bulge protruding from my belly every few seconds.  Then all of a sudden he kicks and keeps his foot there.  It was like he [...]

Back to work.

We spent the last week in Wisconsin enjoying Christmas with our families.  We celebrated christmas eve at Jeremy’s grandparents house and got to spend time with all his family.  I love how christmas brings family together.  We got to see Kira and Josh’s (Jeremy’s cousin) 7 month old twin girls and they are adorable!  Makes us want [...]

Happy Birthday to me!

Today I am 28!  Crazy.  I just want to say thanks to everyone who sent me a card (e-card or real), called, emailed or texted.  I really appreciate it.  I  know how hectic things can get around the holidays, and it really means alot to me knowing that I have friends and family who really care and [...]

Check out my belly!

This is my 20 week pic.  Half way there!

And the test results are….

 It is a boy!  YAY!!!  I went to buy all kinds of blue clothes today.  I finally have some baby stuff!  And now we can start coming up with a name rather than calling him Baby J forever. 
On the downside, during the ultrasound they found that my umbilical cord only has 2 vessels (one supplying [...]

We are back!

We are back from our cruise with Mike and Laura and we had a blast!  It was sunny, warm and relaxing.  We started off in Miami and then headed to Key West and then Cancun.  I love visiting warm places in the winter, however it is so strange to be sitting by a pool in a [...]

Bon Voyage

We are leaving for our Caribbean cruise tomorrow, so there will be no updates from me until we get back.  We are so excited and can’t wait for some much needed relaxation! 
Plus–the day after we get back we will be finding out the sex of baby J.  So excited.   After the ultrasound, I am heading straight [...]

Christmas cookie fiasco

So all my girlfriends decided to do a christmas cookie exchange this year.  I immediately volunteered to bring sugar cookies because i thought they were the easiest–boy was I wrong.  My sister-in-law invited me over to decorate cookies with her sister and her mom and I jumped on the opportunity because I figured that having 4 [...]

Finally–it is done!

We finally got the doors installed on our entertainment center.  Whohoo!  And it looks awesome!  Seriously–you would never know that two amateur carpenters made this with only a drill and a circular saw (and many trips to home depot).   
 I uploaded a picture to flickr (see sidebar).

Happy St. Nick

I know many of you are thinking “what the heck is St. Nick?”  Well, let me tell you.  It is a holiday that we folk from Milwaukee celebrate on the eve of December 5th. 
According to Wikipedia:
While feasts of Saint Nicholas are not observed nationally, cities with strong German influences like Milwaukee, Cincinnati, and St. Louis [...]
