Update

Well *knock on wood* my nausea and morning sickness is gone! Woo hoo! I can actually get ready in the morning, concentrate at work, and not immediately go to bed as soon I walk in the door at night. It is a great feeling and now I can really begin to enjoy being pregnant with our little Renny.

On another pregnancy note, I find myself tearing up at the most random things lately. Yesterday I was looking at our honeymoon pictures and started crying. The more I thought about it the more sad I got. We will never have our wedding day again and never have another newlywed honeymoon. Yes we can take vacations together but it will never hold the same meaning as the pure joy and relaxation of our honeymoon. So I then looked up our resort to see how much it would be for us to escape for a mere 5 days before Renny is born. The price was reasonable but Ryan quickly reminded me that we will be spending a lot of money in the next year so we need to be as careful as possible and I need to save all my sick and vacation for maternity leave. We then decided we are going back to that resort shortly after Renny turns 1. We will make new memories there, as a family. I can't wait!

Oh and I have found two new obsessions. Frozen raspberries and lemon icy things. So the frozen raspberries are just a heavenly snack. Thank you Target. And in my genius state of pregnancy I came up with my frozen lemon treat. Now I know this concept is not new and when I told my mom she quickly reminded me that we used to make them when we were kids but I still like to think I came up with the idea on my own :) So instead of buying the somewhat expensive lemon ice cups at the store, I make my own using the tiny Tupperware that I got for Christmas from Ryan's parents. I just take regular lemonade concentrate add only 3 cups of water instead of the 4 it calls for, mix and pour into my cute Tupperware cups. Well and freeze of course. Pure heaven.

And lastly, Ryan and I go in on Feb. 2nd for our 1st trimester screening. They will be taking blood and doing an ultrasound- yipee!!! They will be looking for characteristics for down syndrome and others. We will of course love our baby no matter what but we would like to be as prepared as possible.
