of all the rights of women, the greatest is to be a mother.

ariel and i had a pretty good weekend. we got to go home to chicago and see my family, which was great because they hadn't seen ariel since the wedding and they hadn't seen me in two months. they had bought some onesies for the baby and a maternity shirt for me! it was really sweet! my sisters couldn't stop staring at my belly. at one point, anna mary put her ear on my belly and said, 'kelly! i heard the baby! it said, 'waaaa waaaaa i want a bottle'!'.

how funny it must have been for my parents to see ariel and i in a new light! my family is ecstatic about this baby.

it snowed all the way home from chicago to auburn hills. ariel and i listened to some songs from our wedding. it was nice.

we will see the baby again in two weeks. i can't wait to see how much the baby has developed! plus, then we'll know what we're having! hopefully by then i will be feeling better. i thought the nausea had subsided a bit, but then i threw up all day the next day, so . . . back to reality. any day now i should start feeling better . . . *fingers crossed*

i'm starting to look at baby cribs/strollers/changing tables. so hard to imagine that in seven more months we will have our little one in our arms.

i can't wait . . .
