Thursday was the first Valentine's Day where Chris and I actually went on a special date in probably 7 or 8 years. My company always had a fancy dinner at Laurel Manor in Livonia the weekend before or after so I pretty much let him off the hook for planning a special evening in exchange for his attendance at the work dinner. This year we no longer have the work dinner so he was back on for planning and boy did he do a nice job!! First, to my surprise and joy, Chris presented the baby with his/her first Valentine's day gift. He ordered a set of They Might Be Giants items so he and the baby can share in something they will love...sweet eh?
For dinner we went to Leon's Diner in Dearborn so that I could have soup bar cause I've also been really digging soup and it was delicious there. Our final destination was The Henry Ford to see the U23D movie which is a U2 concert performance shown on the IMAX screen in 3-D. Wow. That's all I can say. It was as if Bono was singing to me. It was awesome and amazing.

It was awesome and amazing. On Saturday Aunt Sue, Laura, Gram, Rosie, Sam and myself packed into Sue's car to head for my cousin Katie's baby shower in Grand Rapids. There's nothing like 6 hours of driving for a 2.5 hour shower, is there? It was a good time though and it was nice to see Katie and Deb and spend some time with my aunts and grandma. Sue and Laura's kids made me a Congratulations card and they are all excited about the arrival of our little one.....I'm excited too cause they're going to cover a lot of babysitting years, hahahhahahaha!!!!
I'm still having meat aversions and onions are entirely off limits. I still have an apple or something apple related every day. I still haven't gotten sick at all (and both Sue and Gram seemed happy about that since both were sick the entire time they were expecting).
Even though today is technically a company holiday, I write this while sitting at my desk for the department "mandatory" 8 hour work day....at least parking was easy cause so many people are off today and the traffic was a breeze on I-94, even past State Street, which is a treat.

You'll have time, but don't wait too long!! It goes so much quicker than you'll ever expect!!
I'm so excited!! When's your next Ultrasound???
I think what you´re going through is completely normal... just take care of yourself the best you can and enjoy this time.... it´s really amazing and special... I also had a thing for apples and carrots, and could not get near a taco stand... real bummer living in mexico with a taco stand on every corner.... play those cool cds even now, put earphones up to your tummy... I had a live band play every day,and my girl has got some rhythm!!!! she definitely had her taste though... no ska, and no mexican polka... I´m with her on the mexican polka...
Take care, and may the applesauce be with you...
