February

While the rest of the country is freezing their little hineys off, the northwest is enjoying sunny skies and a beautiful start to this month of love. I think all this sunshine is throwing me off, or maybe it's my protuding gut, but my brain has been working overtime this afternoon. Try and stay with me people......the post has no permanent direction.

Since this month has long been dedicated to hearts, flowers and boxed chocolate, I've decided to go with it and totally embrace all things Valentine's. With that said, I've also decided to dedicate this month to my favorite Valentine - hubby extrodinare - my main squeezer - the mister. I think, and hopefully he agrees, that we have a really good marriage but I want more (don't most women)....I want a great marriage. So, everyday this month I am going to commit to doing 1 thing per day to make my marriage greatER then it already is. So here we go......

Feb 1 - EVALUATE MYSELF

Ladies - As much as we would love to say that we are the perfect ones in the relationship....we aren't {ugg that's hard to admit}. Today I commit to spending less time finger pointing and more to time evaluating what I can do to make our marriage greatER.

Onto another topic. The time has finally come to start thinking about maternity clothes. You know why?.....my pants told me so. I'm definitely not ready to make the switch but there are several items that have already been moved to the pre-pregnancy portion of my closet. To prepare for the moment when my pants just won't give another inch, I ordered my first pair of maternity jeans that should arrive any day now. I'm also considering asking my boss if yoga pants fall under the "professional work attire" category.

Even though maternity clothes are right around the corner, I've vowed to not let it make me frumpy. THIS lady is my preggers mentor. So precious!

Unfortunately, there is not a chance in H-E-double hockey sticks that I will have the 'basketball' belly. I'm convinced this child's theory is go big or go home. I've already gained 6lbs and I'm not even in my 2nd trimester!


Last thing and I am done for the day. I really hope you guys like hearing about the following topics....

• pregnancy
• law school graduation/the bar
• the Army
• being on an itty bitty budget

because that is what is going to consume all of 2011. If you don't come back I will understand.....but then you won't get to hear about how I have to take off my panty hose to eat lunch because they make me feel like a sausage.

With Love,
