It's Valentines Day!

And what a very special gift.... another photo of you! You are bigger than before, but still very much blob like.... and your name of "Fishy" is growing on me, I find I use it all the time when talking about you.

Daddy even has a little song he sings "Fshy, Fishy, squirmy little Fishy, Fishy Fishy, swimming in the womb...."

We now have your official due date.... Sept 22nd!

Hooray for Board meetings!

I am the Secretary of the board of Directors for Gay Central Valley. We are gearing up for a big health Fair in March as well as some other exciting projects... and we are working on fund development so that we can keep the community center open.

I wonder if you will have any memories of the center.... I envision bringing you in a play yard and having you hang out with me while I do my work... not sure how practical that will be, but it is a nice thought.

We had a lovely dinner with Uncle Chris and Uncle James tonight. The flowers are from them.

I hope you grow up with uncles like Chris and James, they are so sweet and nice... and so smart and passionate! I want you to have great role models in your life, like i did.

There you are! in my belly!

8 weeks along!

Crazy since we have only known for sure for a few weeks ourselves.... such a weird thought that you existed before we knew....

Anyway, Daddy took this photo along with a few others. he is the official Belly Photographer! We will take photos every 4 weeks in order to see how big and fast you grow!

I am trying to go for walks while the weather is still decent. Today I walked to Starbucks and had an apple juice snack while I read this month's book club book.

Walking is good for both of us.... and it gives me a chance to listen to This American Life episodes.

I hope we live somewhere with better air by the time you are old enough to go out walking.... last summer Daddy developed asthma from the Fresno.

Had to go give blood at the Kaiser lab today. must make sure that I'm as healthy as can be!

Once again so glad that I passed on the MMR vaccine.

I'm sure this won't be the last time  I have to give blood during this pregnancy...

Also made another video today:

I grabbed lunch today at McDonald's

I was craving chicken nuggets but to keep it healthy (ish) i added a tossed green salad and a milk.

It was delicious!

....

And then the judgments came! People were telling me how horrible it was that I was feeding you this, that I wouldn't do such awful things if i loved you, that i was being irresponsible....

Seriously? For one meal of chicken nuggets? The only meal I have been able to keep fully down in over a week?

Now, don't get me wrong, McD's is not health food. but is also isn't Evil food! It is food, processed and full of carbs and fat, but in moderation it is totally fine!

I had been warned about all the misguided judgmental advice I will be getting as a pregnant mom-to-be.... I guess I just got my first taste!

Also, my little blueberry, I made a video:
