Hmm...thinking of a title for my blog is hard!

I've been kind of slacking on my blogging but hope to eventually blog more once I get more used to it and have more news to share. Things look as if they're going to get a bit more exciting anyway, so lets hope! :-)
This last weekend was really busy for us, wow. I got the wonderful privledge of making wedding invitations for Tom's brother Paul and his soon to be wife Steph. That was a lot of fun. I always enjoy doing that kind of thing. We drove down to Iowa and back for that and got home around 1am on Saturday morning after having to stop a few times on the way home. Then on Sunday, we went to the MN State Fair with my parents and my sister and her husband and little boy. That was good fun! I LOVE fair food but always dread how much it always costs. I got spagetti and meatballs which was really good! We're going again this weekend with the Coopers, so hopefully I'll try something new.
Then Monday rolled around and we had our 20 week ultrasound at the clinic!! Woo Hoo for getting to see the baby!! It was good fun! I love seeing ultrasounds and having the assurance that everything is just fine with our little belly monster! We did have the option to know the gender of the baby, but opted not to. We didn't find out the sex of the baby when I was pregnant with Kira and that was TOTALLY the way to go, hands down. I am excited for the pregnancy to progress and to have the baby come into the world!! We've started discussing names more and that has been really exciting. The names we're considering for girls is: McKenna, Mariah and Hannah. And for a boy, I think he'll be Benjamin (Ben) Thomas. Thats the name we had picked out for a boy when I was pregnant with Kira and we're probably going to keep that name. We both like it and it's cute, so why not?! It's been a lot of fun so far this pregnancy, and been a lot different, but a good different.
Monday night was also wonderful! Tom had a softball game and played awesome! He did really good! Kira is his #1 Fan! She loves going to the game to watch daddy play!
I think that may be it for now. Unfortunately, I have to go get ready for work. I always have a lot of fun when I get to work, but sometimes its just hard to get motivated to go.
Until next time...see ya later! Have a good week!

Ah yes, the first actual blog

As a few of you have noticed lately, I've gotten quite the "baby bump" over the last two weeks! My belly is finally starting to get bigger!! This is probably the best part of the pregnancy...when you're big enough to show, but not big enough to be miserable. This baby has been really good to me so far, so lets hope it continues! I also recently starting feeling the baby move so thats been a really exciting Marlin moment too! The only interesting thing about this pregnancy so far I guess is the fact that my belly is very decent sized, but I've only gained 1 pound!!!! I gained 49 pounds with Kira, 13 pounds of that within the first 12 weeks. I'm just getting a whole lot more exercise now than I did before, thanks to the dog!
So recently, I became aware that I am elligible for a new phone through T-Mobile!! How exciting huh?!, well...I can find one that I even like. I like blackberry phones but I don't want to pay all that extra money to put internet on it and stuff. I like the abilities they have and think I would like it but they also aren't cheap by any means even with my *new phone* discount. And Tim, no iPhone for me, sorry! Any suggestions? The free ones are just regular flip phones but are just kind of dull looking and don't have much pizzaz.(sp?) I don't know what I want I guess, but I indeed do what a new phone.
Also, does anyone have any suggestions on a good, cost efficient, vacation spot? Tom and I are going on a long weekend vacation to somewhere....who knows where. We're thinking maybe Wisconsin Dells but don't know for sure. I'm really limited on what I can do being pregnant and all. No water parks....no go-carts....no amusement parks....very sad, but thats alright! So we're looking for ideas! We've also thought about flying to Las Vegas. I've been there before and loved it and I know Tom would love it. They have a lot there besides casinos, where we wouldn't be dumping our money on slot machines or poker tables. But then again, with these flight costs being so high, it's not too cost efficient anyway. Hmm...
Enough for now....Hope you're all having a fabulous day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
