Tag! Your're it!

I have been tagged by my tech buddie, Shelley....so here it goes. I have to write six quirky things about myself and then tag five other bloggers! 6. When I get really sad, I sleep with "Teddy." He is a teddy bear I got on the day I was born:) 5. I will not buy off-brand food! I have always been so wierd about that and I am sure it is no different than the name brands. I just can't do it! 4. I do not like Margaritas or will drink anything with Tequila in it. I don't even like the smell of Margaritas!! I think I might be one of the only people in Texas that doesn't like them. 3. I was a HUGE New Kids on the Block fan in Middle School! I still have a box full of all my soveniors I had....posters, shoelaces, buttons, etc. You name it, I had it! Watch out! They are making a comeback:) 2. I was in a PEOPLE magazine in the 10th grade. I modeled a new hair product/tool. It was fun! 1. I was in a Middle School Science textbook.

Four Times Bigger!

We had our 2nd sonogram on Monday and it was amazing. In just one week, the baby has grown 4 times the size. It is so hard to fatham the miracle of life. Adam and I were both in awe and couldn't believe our eyes. The heartbeat is also at 131 bpm which the doctor said is perfect! It is still so hard to believe that is all going on in my body. It may take me 9 months for it to actually sink in! The doctor did offer bed rest since my nausea is so extreme. I said no for now as I don't want to use any of my days. I want to save them to spend time with our future, little munchkin! The meds she has prescribed are not even phasing me. I take one at night that knocks me out in less than 15 minutes. That is the good stuff! I am hoping that this 24/7 nausea will soon pass in the weeks ahead. On a positive note, it reassures us that all is well with Baby Daley!

My Daddy Says Bad Things About Michigan

About 3 weeks ago, I faced the challenge of how to tell Adam that I was pregnant and that we were going to embark on a new journey in our life together. After taking several different pregnancy tests and falling in a daze about ALL the positive results, I couldn't wait to tell Adam. On that Monday, I pondered all day on what to do...I wanted it to be special. Adam is usually home from work each day before me except this for this day so it was perfect. His company had other employees in town from Chicago so he had to go to dinner with them after work and then out for drinks. I was dying to tell him and thought about waiting until Tuesday, but just couldn't! I had kept this to myself all day!! That was hard! Adam called about 10:00 that night to check in and let me know that they were heading to another bar for some more drinks. At this point I had no choice but to ask if he could come home because I wasn't feeling good. I could tell from the tone in his voice that he was extremely frustrated, but came home as I had asked him to. As most of you know, Adam prosped to me in the garage so I decided to continue the tradition and break the exciting news to him in the same way. I pulled a stool from the kitchen into the garage. I sat on the stool holding a poster that read, "My Daddy Says Bad Things About Michigan." How perfect would this be especially since we are going to the Ohio State Vs. Michigan game in November.

My heart was racing as I anxiously sat on the stool waiting for the garage to open. Around 11pm or so, the garage slowly opened and Adam began to pull in the driveway. He saw me sitting there and stopped and was the reading the poster I was holding. His face was priceless as his mouth dropped open and his eyes filled with tears. He jumped out of the car and couldn't believe it! We both were a crying mess! We feel extremely blessed by God and look forward to this amazing journey!
