Baby, What Baby?

So there has been this story on the news here in Oklahoma City about an OU student that got pregnant and didn't realize it until she gave birth. The Discovery Channel has picked the story up and is doing a piece on her. I'm not sure I can buy all that. Maybe it's true, maybe there are some women that are completely oblivious to the signs and symptoms of pregnancy but at some point I find it hard to believe that there wasn't an inkling.

I can understand not having morning sickness, cravings, mood swings or even gaining a little weight; I didn't have morning sickness, the only thing that I really "craved" was raspberries but anyone that knows me knows that that is normal, and as far as weight I lost 15 lbs and now at 6 months have only gained back one or two and I don't think I've been in a better mood in all my life.
What I can't understand is how a girl of 19, the age of the girl from OU, that is sexually active doesn't notice that she hasn't had menses in 9 months. The article doesn't state whether or not she had any spotting but a late visit from "aunt flo" is enough to send more mature females into a tizzy much less a 19 year old. Even if you give her a break on that one how do you ignore when the baby kicks and is doing cartwheels. Lately it's a favorite pastime of mine lying back on the couch and watching my belly jerk and jolt from one side to another and I can't imagine being able to ignore that and not notice.

Perhaps I am giving this "kid" too hard a time. If she honestly had no idea it's a shame that she missed out on all the wonderful aspects of pregnancy. Like I said before I don't believe I've been in a better mood in my whole life. Pregnancy seems to agree with me and I couldn't be happier.

Road Trip

JR and I have been crazy busy for the last two weeks which explains why I haven't blogged in awhile. We had to take an unexpected 23 hour road trip to northern New York to kick out our renters. Well I guess we really didn't have to kick them out since they left on their own after a month and a week of living there without telling us and decided to leave behind all their stuff for us to get rid of. So without going into all the messy details about false identities, tons of names, social security numbers, and credit card numbers just know that the police were involved and our house is now for sell and we will not be doing the landlord thing again.

After we finished everything that had to be done up there we decided to surprise our parents and drive down to VA since we were on that side of the country anyway. We only got to stay for four days but thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and our parents were very excited to see us. So flash forward close to 50 hours driving and almost 4000 miles and we are finally back in Oklahoma. Keep your fingers crossed that the house sells and we can be done with it.

Mother's Day

So JR and I decided to spend Mother's Day at the zoo. Despite the 60% chance of showers and thunderstorms we ventured out anyway. We were surprised at how many people had the same idea. We did get sprinkled on but all in all it was a really nice day.

I hope that everyone has a very nice Mother's Day and to our own moms, we love you.

For starters

So I decided to start this blog, despite J's teasing, to help our families and friends keep up with us. Even though we sometimes think our life is boring I'm sure, with us expecting our first baby,that our parents at least will appreciate it. I can't promise how often I'll post but will try to make it at least once a week.
So please bear with me as I figure out the ins and outs of blogging. I welcome all ideas and suggestions.
