Well, the first 2 months have gone by smoothly with the exception of a little sickness and pain here and there. I am looking forward to the end of this trimester so that I will be done with the nausea. We have already gotten to have 2 ultrasounds and hear the heartbeat! Mon petit oeuf is very petit, only 1.05 cm at the visit last Friday. I am looking forward to our next appointment... mom and Sarah are going to come along since Mark won't be able to make it.
Mark has been great so far. He gets me food when I'm not feeling well and has really been looking after me. We are having to do a lot of planning before mon petit oeuf arrives... budgeting, building, baby-proofing, moving stuff, and buying stuff. And I have GOT to learn to get and stay organized asap! We are adding a bonus room above our garage and moving his office and part of my PartyLite stuff up there so that we can have a guest bedroom (for Grammy) and a nursery (for baby and mama).
According to our monthly budget we should have an extra $1400 a month to spend/save before the baby comes. I'd really like to know where all that money goes now (besides paying off law school last year and the thousands of dollars that we racked up on our credit card buying appliances and furniture for the new house). I've printed out some reports from Quicken and it's not looking good for me. Apparently most of the disposable income goes towards clothes, hair, and other niceties that I really don't need. *sigh* We were perhaps spending a little too much on beer and cigarettes as well. That should be an easy fix! :-)
More to come....

I am so glad that you are hanging in there.
I am glad that Mark is helping you out so much. After having 2 pregnancies with my hub not being around I can tell you that there is nothing worse than needing the help and it being no where to be found!!!
Let me know if you need anything. I have a few tricks up my sleeve when it comes to pregnancy.
Good Girl Samantha,on not smoking!
Love you,Aunt Bee
