On my ego being preg-o

Since I don't see many of you very often, I thought I'd fill you in on me being pregnant. I think I've had it pretty easy - no crazy cravings, no weird health problems, no heartburn, no regular hormonal outbursts. All in all, being pregnant with B seems to be normal.

I did have crazy morning sickness for the first 4.5 months...every morning, at least once a morning...but, once I got past that in the early morning, I was okay. For cravings, they've been fairly normal - I've never sent papi out in the middle of the night to buy Whoppers or watermelon. I have craved fruit - first, avocados, then anything and everything. Also, I went through two jars of peanut butter in the first 3 months, multiple boxes of microwave popcorn (earning B the nickname "Popcorn" at work), oodles of brown-sugar Pop-Tarts (thanks, sis, for the recommendation!), and my fair share of spaghetti.

My only complaint is that I've been exhausted the entire time. No late-night cleaning sprees or nesting for me, thanks very much. Ever since mid-December, all I've wanted to do with my spare time is SLEEP. I sleep 9-11 hours every night and still have to drag myself out of bed in the morning.

Welcome to my pregnancy...ending August 27 (or thereabouts).

Clogging up the blogosphere?

So, under the pressure of family, friends, and Facebook, I - hp - have determined to make my foray into the blogosphere. Mostly just to keep you all informed of the boring details of our everyday life. And partially to subject you to pictures of (as my sister so kindly put it) our forthcoming "spawn".

I may convince Papi to take a turn every once in a while if we get more of an international following. But I won't be responsible for any crazy spanglish or castellanqui that crops up when we get going!

Enjoy!
