two of the best things you can hear at a prenatal appointment:

of course, the babes heartbeat is number one! it was great to hear it, loud and clear. although, my doctor had a hard time "finding" the baby at first which gave me quite a panic attack. it's right at 160, which is great! such a great feeling when you hear it for the first time, knowing that it is alive.

the second best thing? hearing the nurse tell you you've LOST, yes, l-o-s-t, weight since your last appointment. i've lost 9.3 lbs since last month. at first my doctor was slightly worried, thinking i had insane morning sickness and vomiting frequently... but i'm not. i do have morning sickness and night sickness, and sometimes mid-day sickness, that don't make me want to eat, but i do anyways. i've just been really conscious about what i'm eating.. more fruits, veggies and meats, less snacks and ice cream. which brings me to dan...

dan is such a great husband. he's been so busy working and then working on his LBC projects that sometimes i don't see him until 9 pm- which totally sucks- but each night he calls me and asks if i want a blizzard/shake/anything horrible for me... and each night when i say no he says, yea me either.. but he's totally DYING to eat a shake, but won't in front of me. he's such a sweetie, he comes home sits on the chair and almost always immediately falls asleep. he works SO hard, doing extra jobs here and there so we have a little extra money to do extra things on weekends. and with me done working for the remainder of the summer and only working 30hrs during the summer, i am very grateful for him. i've landed myself a keeper :)

next weekend is dan and celestes wedding and we're heading up to tower a day early to have some "us time" without gavin. we are, however staying with my mom in the cabin she rented on friday night but we plan on going out to a nice dinner and crashing early. saturday morning i'm doing hayleys hair for the wedding and dancing my sober ass off all night long! mike hicks did ask me if there was a way to cut off the baby for a night so i could drink... (he is obviously so worried about my well being and ability to have fun) i think he was kidding... but sometimes with mike i'm not too sure ;)

and another great thing today, as i'm looking out my window i see... a cute blonde, little boy on is bike, with his daddy walking next to him on their way to to the park... guess who it is? ryder and coop! SO cute! can't wait for gav to get a little bit bigger and that can be gav and dan!
