Hi Blogfriends -

Just a quick update...

1. Jack & I are expecting a little one on July 5, 2007! (Just in case you were wondering about the new baby countdown on my blog) We are so excited and feel extremely blessed to be experiencing this little miracle. I've been to the doctor 3 times and this last checkup the heart was beating around 136 beats per minute. There are so many "old wives tales" about figuring out the sex of your baby and one of them is regarding the heartbeat. They say if it's under 140 bpm then you are having a boy and if it's over 140 you could be having a girl...??? Anyone ever tried the wedding ring on string thing? I think you're supposed to tie your husband's wedding band to a string and then put it over your tummy. If it swings in a circle - it's a boy; if it swings from side to side it's a girl... We're going to find out at the next appointment on Feb. 9! I think I've felt the baby move a few times. They say you can start to feel the baby around weeks 16-20. (I just started Week 16). It feels a little like butterflies or "gas bubbles" to be perfectly honest :)



2. I switched over to Blogger - Beta! If you haven't done it yet, I highly recommend it! You can design your page so much easier -without writing html code. At first, I thought "Beta" meant the old style of VCR's and wondered why in the world I would want to switch to that. Yeah, I'm a little behind on the blogger-speak.



3. I found the greatest shampoo. My hair has always been the one thing I'm HM on. I spend way too much money on getting it done, special shampoos, straighteners...etc. My roommates can testify to this fact. But, I was reading some magazine and ran across Matrix "Sleek look". It really works well. I always have trouble finding something that smooths the frizz without being too oily. This smells really clean and is light enough that to use daily.



4. "24" is back! We watched the season premiere last night and it was great! I could have really done without Jack Bauer biting the guy on the neck, though! Gross! Do you ever wonder if they have to approve those episodes with the real government? Some of the plots seems very possible and you wonder if it gives people ideas or causes racial tensions for people from the Middle East.



5. I turned the big 29 on January 6 and so many special people helped me celebrate big time! The celebration started on Friday afternoon when my friend/coworker Jennifer took me to lunch at Corner Bakery and then to see Charlotte's Web. So cute! That night we continued the birthday fun with an outing to Ft. Worth to eat at Joe T. Garcias with our friends Don & Tianay. We had a fun time, but I can't say that the food was that great. With only 2 options on thier menu, you would think they would be outstanding! Saturday, my sweet husband brought me breakfast and flowers in bed. (Kolaches & OJ - can't beat that!) That afternoon, I met my mom for lunch at our favorite place - La Madeline's and then she took me for a pedicure! (Talk about feeling like a princess!) That evening, my dear friends Kelly & Jenni came over to "scrapbook" and eat dinner. Jenni made hot ham & cheese sandwichs, artichoke dip and fruit salad. Delicious! Kelly made a choc. chip cinnamon cake with "Dos Amigos" ice cream! Yum-Yum! Thanks everyone for making it such a memorable birthday! I like 29 so much already, I think I'll just stay in this year forever!
