an update or two

well... things have been pretty busy in the simmon's household or so it seems. i am officially in my 2nd trimester and feeling better as the pregnancy progresses. i am now 15 weeks and have a little bump of a belly beginning to form. baby is growing and had a heartrate in the 150's at my doctor's appt. this week. i think i feel it's slight movements at times when i am reallys till and i am really excited when they become easier to recognize.

recently, i have realized how much i truly love to cook. i bought some fresh salmon last weekend and made a maple marinade for it. it wasn't too bad for my first time cooking salmon. i find that i get bored with cooking the same things and i like to consistently try new things. it makes it hard for me to make a meal plan for the week because i have to hunt for recipes first, but it makes it worth it in the end.

i am so happy it is getting colder. there is something so wonderful about this time of year and i can't wait for thanksgiving to get here. i love fall colors, warm drinks, sitting by the fire, cuddling up in blankets... it's just a great time full of fond memories.

seth is running a 1/2 marathon tomorrow. he has never run that far before so i am praying he will be able to do so without a problem. it will hopefully be a great experience for him and a pleasant day for all that running.

i promise, promise, promise to put a picture up soon. it's not like anyone reads this anyway. :)

wedding fun and baby news

this weekend, seth and i had the pleasure of going to a wonderful couple's wedding. we met them a week before we were married and have enjoyed several get togethers since. seth sang a song during the ceremony... which was just beautiful. the ceremony was lovely: it was outside and a beautiful day...a little windy, but nice and warm. after the ceremony, cocktails and appetizers were served and a band played some music. we had fun eating the fancy food and talking. around 6:00 they herded us towards the reception dinner which was being held in a "barn"... a very beautiful barn. the setting was lovely, dinner was delicious, and the music and dancing was fun to watch. we left around 9:00... i was exhausted.

as far as the baby goes... things are going well. i am in my 13th week now and doing well. i am starting to feel more energy and only sick if i eat too much food at a time. my next doctor's appt. is in two weeks. i am so excited to hear the heartbeat again! hopefully i can post some picturs of the wedding and mabye a couple of my little baby belly as well.
