Spring Break and Other Stuff

I had an amazing Spring Break. I got to see Jewel at a private Concert in Dallas. She even talked to me a bunch during the show (I was in the front row!!). She played a lot of really rare songs that have never been on albums, but that her hardcore fans know from bootlegs. It was great to meet all of the other Jewel freaks.

When I got back from Dallas (it was a solo trip... lots of "Chrissy-time"), I left to meet Andrew and his parents (and Chumlee!) at a house we rented on Topsail Island. I had a few days of fun in the sun at the beach. It was nice to just relax, read, and cuddle.

Today I saw the doctor again. It was a short visit. He measured my uterus (the baby's living quarters) and it is about 25 centimeters, which is a few inches above my belly button. There is no hiding that I am pregnant now. It is pretty obvious in whatever I wear. I haven;t gained a ton of weight yet, just 7 pounds since I first found out I was pregnant. The doctor thinks that is great! I know that I have a lot of pounds ahead of me before this is over!

Our little girl is starting to get more organized in her movement. Before last week, I would describe it as a general squirming, where now it is more of a real kick (or punch) that can be felt from the outside too. I have to say, that it is pretty awesome.

4th grade advice, "If you have a girl, let her play with cars and 'boy stuff' too. If you have a boy, let him play with dolls or whatever. You want your kid to be well rounded right?"
