Our Wonderful Group

Sanjay and I have been blessed to be a part of a Marriage Group for about a year now. Everyone is so unique and really brings a different element to the group. There are also two other girls (Pari and Melissa) that are preggers too! We have learned a lot from them and are so happy to have met such WONDERFUL people!

19 week Belly

Peanut is really growing!

Here is the 19 week picture. A few more days and we are officially half way there.

Our ultrasound is Friday April 25th.

Birthday Weekend

Even though I was sick the entire weekend, my family and friends still managed to make my birthday special. Sanjay asked me what I wanted for my Birthday. My response was "A maid, a cook, a live in nurse, and a house cleaner." Sanjay was so cute with his quick response "I'll be your maid........I mean BUTLER". He swept all of the floors, did laundry, cooked a grilled cheese for me, and did some other general cleaning tasks around the house. It was so nice. I did feel kinda bad that he took the entire day off just to be a butler.

Friday night my sissy had us over for Lasagna (that my mom made). Sanjay's parents came over and it was nice and relaxing.

Saturday my friends Rosie, Ashley, Lisa and Jessica brought food over and we sat in my kitchen and talked. I felt really bad because I was sleeping when they arrived, but they are such good friends, that they understood. I enjoyed listening and catching up on what they are up to.

Sunday, my Dad, Linda, Grandma, Grandpa Ken, Kayla and Dave (pictured below) came over to celebrate our birthdays (my Dad and mine). They brought everything and I really enjoyed seeing them.

This is actually the most I've done in a long time, and I was beat. I was so sick Sunday afternoon and evening with nausa, runny nose, horrible cough, sore throat, and terrible headache. My doctor gave me an antibiotic which is helping, but really upsets my stomach. I just can't win.

Thanks to everyone for the cards, texts, emails and phone calls wishing me a Happy Birthday! I appreciate it!

My Friends R So Cool

I am not feeling well today (really bad cold) and I didn't make it into work today so I am just sitting here thinking about how special my friends are. They are all so very different, but all so very sweet and talented. I can't possibly list all of my friends and the amazing things they are doing, but I will name a few.

Gretchan Francis started a limo business practically over night which has become extremly sucessful and is now the exclusive limousine sponsor of Fashion Week Cleveland!http://www.fashionweekcleveland.com/. Her crew will be driving Miss America! If you ever need a limo check out http://www.francislimo.com/.

Lisa Crabiel is also an entrepenour. She may have something up her sleeve in the future.

Jessica Dillworth is devoting two years of her life to serve others in the Peace Corps. She currently has all of her paperwork turned in and is just patiently waiting to see where she will be assigned. Jess would really like to be placed in a Latin American country to learn more Spanish. She is open-minded and optimistic to where ever she ends up and is determined to make the best of the two years.

Sara Lanzer is a talented singer/music writer. Her hubby, Kyle is also one of the best singers I have ever heard. Sara wrote a song called "Taking Chances". I will try to upload Sara singing the song. She submitted the song into American Idol's song writing contest. The song chosen by the nation will be performed live on this season’s American Idol finale in front of millions of viewers. But that’s only half the story. The winning songwriter will walk away with a highly-prized publishing deal for their song, and it will also be released by the winner of American Idol! I can't figure out how to link Sara's song to this page. I will try to figure it out soon!

I'm so proud of all of my friends!

Michelle's Sweet Baby Addison

My friend from High School Michelle Wardle (Rizzo) celebrated the arrival of the newest member of her family, Addison Michelle Wardle. She was born March 20, 2008 at 8:03 am weighing 7lb. 10oz. and 20.4 inches long. Michelle says Addison is healthy and doing great after her first week at home. Tyler is excited to have a new little sister as well. Congrats Michelle, hubby, Sean, and son, Tyler!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!

Sanjay and I had a wonderful weekend. Friday morning we took my niece Rylie to see the Easter Bunny. She was so cute and was mesmerized by all of the people; it was her first time at the mall. Friday night my Dad and Linda came over and we went out to eat (a luxury I have just recently been able to enjoy again) at Cheesecake Factory. It was really nice to see them and catch up. They had a long drive home in the snow.

Sanjay thought we better get used to watching kids movies so we went to see Horton Hears a Who. I have been hesitant about going anywhere because I never know how I am going to feel at any given moment and I did have a bad spell in the middle of the movie, so I just lifted up the armrest between Sanjay and I and laid on him. It was a cute movie. We got some healthy fruit drinks at Liquid Planet and walked around Crocker Park. We saw the cutest clothes in Baby Gap, but we were good and didn't buy anything.

Sunday we went to church with Sanjay's parents, visited my Grandpa, and my mom, Sanjay's brother, Reeve and our sister in law, Maria all met at Sanjay's parents for a yummy Indian Easter dinner.

Four month doc appointment

Today Sanjay and I went to our 4 month appointment. Peanut's heartbeat was strong and fast beating at about 161. Sanjay got in on video again. The doc was surprised that I have not gained any weight yet, but said not to worry.

Peanut got his/her first easter present in the mail from my friend Katie Sterling. It's the cutest little waterproof rubber duckie book. It even squirts out water (sanjay and I are going to have fun with that). Thanks so much Katie!

Last night I had a dream about the sex of the baby for the first time. My Aunt Shirley was holding Peanut in the mall and for some reason I didn't know the gender. I asked her and she said "it's a girl!" We'll have to wait and see if my dream is true!
