At 16 weeks, I'm very happy to be over the first trimester yuckies and feeling a little like my old self again. I'm cooking dinner, back at the gym and, besides some sleepless nights, have no complaints! I'm learning that my tastes have changed and old meals that used to be favorites no longer taste as good as they did pre-pregnancy. (Pregnancy veterans- is that normal?) The baby is now the size of an avocado and I'm hoping to start feeling him/her move sometime soon. We have to wait a few more weeks until we find out the gender... so we will continue to each think we're right until then!
Here's a picture of me at 3 months. I've definitely gotten bigger since this one, so I'll try to get a more updated picture soon.
I accepted another church calling a few weeks ago. I'm still working with my Beehives, but I am also now a ward organist. Thank goodness I am in a rotation of 5, so I only play about once a month. My first Sunday was in February and it went well- no major mistakes, thank goodness because I was pretty nervous! I'm really enjoying the opportunity to develop my organ skills, as it is very different from the piano.
I'm looking forward to a mini getaway next week. I'll be going to sunny San Diego for a week to spend time with my family. I've already made a list of my must-haves, which include: beach, rolled tacos at my favorite taco shop, and a few of mom's famous chocolate chip cookies. I can't wait! :)
Brad is keeping busy with work. His current client is in San Jose, which means a lot of driving. On a good day, he's in the car for about 3 hours... on a bad day- don't ask! He's looking forward to his next client, which starts Monday and is only about 20 minutes away.
We are both enjoying the beautiful spring weather that we've been having. It's rainy and cold today, but I'm hoping the sun decides to come back for Easter weekend. I can't wait for Easter & General Conference this weekend. What a great weekend it will be!
