Been a while since I have been on, so just wanted to say Hi

Oh, no rambling at all... and even if you were, you're entitled. This has to be the most exciting time in your life! You're allowed to spout off about it with friends. What kind of friends would we be if we didn't want to hear about the most exciting thing in your life, ever. I have to admit though that I feel like I'm cheating. I'm sure you've had friends that you've known for 20+ years, and here I am sneaking in at the very last second to enjoy this excitement with you. I still want regular updates and I sincerely hope everything goes very smoothly for you two pregnancy book reading geeks.

Yup, I play hockey year 'round. There are leagues dotted all over the Chicagoland area. Lots of choices even in the summer. Actually, summer is a little tougher because all the hotshots who are home from college and they burn up the ice. It's very challenging to skate with kids almost half my age, some of which are just below the skill level of junior players and some who do play juniors, but I love the challenge.

Work is just now slowing just a little, but I have a lot to catch up on from the things that were pushed to the backburner during all the craziness. I figure it'll take a good couple of weeks before I'm back into any sort of routine. Thanks for asking! I appreciate it.

So, how are things going with morning sickness, doctor's visits, etc.? Are you past the morning sickness phase yet?

Hey Jacks! I've missed out on a bit of chat recently too actually. Most nights Thursday through Sunday I'm able to jump online for some chat with our friends, but I have softball and hockey Monday through Wednesday, so it makes it really hard. When I am able to join though, I've always had a good time... but then again, I could have fun at an insurance seminar. I don't need anyone to entertain me. I've got a enough stuff floating around in this thick head of mine to keep me amused.

I reckon not, Momma! You doin' good? I don't want to ask you how you're feeling, I started HATING that question after a couple months.....my answer turned into, 'well, I'm feeling pregnant, same as all the other times..'

I can't complain, things are finally coming together for all the crap we have planned this month, whew!! Today my husband is off work, so we're planning on taking the kids to this old railroad track turned walking bridge that goes over some rivers here in town....one of their favorite locations...all ya gotta do is give 'em a few rocks to hurl in the river and we have some cheap, outside entertainment! I'm just glad the rails are nice and high on that thing, I don't want to have to go swimming after anybody today.

Thanks Jackielantern, and I never sent you a birthday greeting, sorry!!
