I am knocked up!

Chad and I are expecting our first baby. We are so excited. I am 13 weeks pregnant and counting! The baby's due date is November 12th.
We went to our first prenatal visit on March 27th. We were not able to hear the baby's heartbeat, but we were able to see it, by the ultrasound. May 2nd was our second prenatal visit and we got to hear the heartbeat. I have now entered the second trimester of my pregnancy, which has only been less than a week and I am experiencing the "all-day sickness". The first trimester was such a breeze maybe because I slept all the time. Our next visit is after Memorial weekend and hopefully we will be told if we will have a boy or a girl.

Here is a video clip of Maya telling me what is in my belly, but first you must hear what she says thunder sounds like......

She is too cute!!

HOT FUZZ

I saw this movie over the weekend and it is all around brilliant! HILARIOUS! It is just as good as Shaun of the Dead, or even better.

Let them eat cake!

Let me introduce to you my BFF, Rebecca. She makes custom made yummy cakes! If you remember, on my 35th birthday she made me a topsy-turvy Alice in Wonderland cake. Since then she has been making specialty cakes. She now has a blog... Rebecca's Cakes.

She takes pictures too!

Everything IS bigger in Texas!

This picture was taken at the Downtown Hilton Skyline restaurant. Such a spectacular panoramic view of Downtown Houston. I definitely will go back again, but at night.

I invite you to view other pictures I took HERE.

One year ago today was my first post to quick and to the pointless. I actually wanted to begin posting back in May/2005, but I did not own a good computer and I really did not have the extra time. As if, I have plenty of time now. NOT! I do try, though. And I have met some great bloggers along the way. I do like to thank goferboy for his tips & tricks and his humorous posts.

In the last year I managed to talk my husband, Chad into starting his own blog. The title speaks for itself, exile on blogspot. I am able to keep in touch with far away friends such as denver or bust. And keep up with what my friends post on their blogs....

wilwheaton Okay. Wil is not my friend, but you get the idea.

I have recently picked up an awesome hobby of taking pictures. I was given a Nikon D80 DSLR for Christmas. So I will be spending most of the time with my camera and uploading pictures on my flickr-ahhhhh site. Yes, I want to be a [fun] amateur photographer when I grow up.

For those of you who I don't know out there in cyperspace. Thanks for visiting my blog. Drop me a line if you have some advice or just to say Hello. I enjoy meeting new bloggers... really I do.

Not saying goodbye-just saying,

I am a proud mommy of our baby, Miss. Chica. I received an email [via my flickr website] asking if Luvmutt dot com can feature Chica on their website. A website dedicated to mutts. What a great idea to be able to showcase the non-breed pooches, because they need attention too! WOOF-WOOF

Cheers to 2007!!

We spent New Years in Austin to see PONG play at HOLE IN THE WALL. Jay and Rebecca joined us for the festivities with Will and Heather hanging out too... What a great time it was.
