Wings!


Red Bull...er, I mean Starbucks gives you wings!


While coffee isn't a daily occurrance for me there are times I wake after a sleepless night with little ones and there is a true "need" for Starbucks in my life :) 1 Iced grande 6-pump skinny caramel latte coming right up! 80 calories later I am a much happier and much more functional woman.


Today I drank a coffee on the way to the YMCA to go for a run. I am too tired to run but even if I don't run as long or hard as I want, I almost always feel better after. As I pulled into the Y I looked into my cup to discover not only had I ordered coffee...but I had a bonus friend...with wings...and a thorax...glued to the inside of my cup.


I don't know if it's possible to describe to you what this did to my insides...Normally bugs aren't a big deal although I prefer to find them before they are eaten, etc. This pregnancy just the sight of some meats...dairy products, etc. makes my mouth water and not in a good way. I had already drunk up all the bug funk that was living in that cup....ick. I did get my $3.65 back...I guess that counts for something!


I got wings alright, just not the kind of wings I was hoping for.


Moral of the story: always look for swimmers :)

A Little Turkey...One More Reason to be Thankful :)

We're so excited to announce we are expecting! Our littlest baby is due Thanksgiving Day 2009!! I'm in my 8th week and so far things are looking good. I had an ultrasound this past week which was exciting and got to see baby's heartbeat! It's amazing what's happening in there at just 8 weeks...here's a video of what our baby looks like now! So amazing..see the little heart pumping away?? Little arms forming...an amazing little person already!



Disclaimer: Gotta say it for the "just in case" comments - this ultrasound video is not ours, this is an ultrasound close to our gestation...I thought it was just so awesome to share what's going on in there!!!
