Done

Dear Cold,

Pardon the interruption, but I am done with you. Please take your friends Fever, Body Aches, Cough, Sore Throat, Runny Nose and Achy Ears and leave promptly. My life must get back to normal! I cannot miss any more work, and I can NOT spend another minute cooped up in this house. I have no course of action planned against you beyond small doses of tylenol and yet another round of ammoxicillin, so please take pity on me. Pack your bags and be gone by morning. That way, I can finally get some sleep in a position other than sitting completely upright before real life summons me tomorrow at 2pm when I am scheduled to report for work.

Thanks so much!

Time to Add the Ticker

Ah! We made it through the first three months, and we have a good, strong heartbeat (plus, I've only gained one pound :) so I consider it time to share the good news! Ryan and I are very excited, as are our families. I have a feeling that this little one is going to be a spoiled one...just a hunch. We have a great doctor who has been so willing to discuss anything that we are concerned about and I feel a lot better about the whole process after our appointment today. And we only have ONE heartbeat...so that is good. There's nothing like having the doctor cheerfully saying to you "Oh, let's see if there's more than one!" Wow. I think MY heart stopped for a minute while he looked. LOL. Hope you're all as excited as we are!
