April 18th, a really good day

It all started with having to use the bathroom 4 times before 7am, ugh (the not awesome part)
SLC 1/2 Marathon starting at 7am
the gospel choir pumping us up
Running 13.1 miles with my Bruce...13 weeks pregnant
Our very own fan club cheering us on


finishing the 1/2 marathon, 13 weeks pregnant

celebrity sightings

delicious lunch at Grove's Deli with friends
browsing through The Market
a long nap
dinner at Rodizio with Russ and Christie

lots and lots and lots of really good food
really good desserts at Emilie's wedding reception
watching celebrity apprentice on Hulu (I know, it's lame but addicting!)

and about that fetus?
we're happy!

you might say ecstatic,

and beyond thrilled!

Woo hoo! What a way to drop the bomb! I can't believe you did that 13 weeks pregnant! I'm glad you could enjoy the food that night...hopefully that means you are not puking your guts out at that point like I was. Really, I'm so excited for you, CONGRATS!

P.S. Can you believe we could be moms? It really doesn't feel like that long ago that we were dancing like maniacs to "Pour Some Sugar on Me" in yours and Stef's apartment~

Hurray, I was wondering when the big blog announcement would come! I am so incredibly impressed with you for running that marathon pregnant. When you get the chocolate cravings, call me.

CONGRATS!! I obviously missed the announcement in church on Sunday! Way to go finishing the 1/2, I'm super impressed that you did it at all and then to think you did it 13 weeks pregnant is beyond comprehension for my little mind! Way to go and I am super excited for your little one to make its appearance. Hope you have a healthy pregnancy.
