Which One Is Bigger?

So a lot of you have been asking for a pic of the belly - well it finally popped and now it's worth showcasing! Steve and I joined the advertising bowling league with some friends back in January and this picture is from last week's game. We wrapped the season in about 9th place (out of 14 teams) so not too bad!

We hope everyone had a wonderful Easter and that the EB brought you lots of treats. Here is Atlanta we celebrate Measter (Mexican Easter). We still have ham - but not in the traditional sense as you'll see from the pic with Steve and the roasted oinker. 40 pounds of yumminess cooked for 4 hours, there were also home-made tamales by Dave Perez, tons of Salsa, Beans, Quac and a White Sangria with a hint of mojito mint by Abigail and Jason. I decided to make Fresh-Squeezed Margaritas - Steve said I was just torturing myself since I couldn't partake - but what's a mexican feast without margaritas!

On some less positive notes - it was a heck-of-a-week last week. We got our car broken into at the movie theater and they stole Steve's laptop, I was laid off from work (which isn't as bad as it sounds since I was not going to receive any Paid Maternity Leave anyway) and then I lost PorkChop. How do you lose the noisiest, snortiest, fartiest dog you ask? Well at about 9:30am he walked into a neighbor's house as I was chatting with another one of our neighbors. Then the other neighbor left for work and locked him inside. After I had most of the neighborhood out looking for him for 3 hours - we heard him barking from inside our neighbors house around the corner and luckily she came home for lunch and brought him safely home. I thought I would eventually forge the baby someplace - thank goodness I am just getting some practice with PorkChop!

The highlight of last week was on Thursday and our 16 week check-up (although we are now Week 17). No ultrasound this week, but we heard a strong 151 beats per minute and the Doc thinks we are doing great thus far! I don't have any food references this week for the size of Herhe, but I learned that the skeleton is ossifying (sp?) and the baby can swallow - which somehow regulates the amniotic fluid. It's always something new to learn about when there's a baby growing inside!
