Twilight Pre-Ordered

Well my copy of Twilight is officially ordered. I know it doesn't come out officially until March 21st, but I had to go ahead and get my copy!! Can't wait to hear Rob Pattinson's DVD commentary.

False Alarm...Thank Goodness!

Well a burglar alarm is an exciting way to start the morning!! I received a call from ADT this morning letting me know the motion detector had gone off. I immediately assumed my frisky furry friends were the culprits, especially since none of the door or window sensors were tripped. You can never be sure though right, so Stu and I thought we ought to check the house to make sure everything was okay. I car-pool to work, so I don't have a car and I work 30 miles from our house so its quite a long walk...Stu is in the field and also doesn't have access to a vehicle so we were both stuck. My boss was kind enough to let me borrow her 2008 Dodge Charger V8, so I headed home a little fearful of what I would encounter and of every rock, passing truck and any other thing that would damage the car as well. When I got to the house I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, so I went ahead and opened the garage door. I peered through the front door to see if I could catch anyone moving around at the sound of the garage opening, but I didn't see anything. I chose a weapon from the garage, at first it was the tennis racquet, but I thought that wouldn't inflict much damage, so I settled for a 6 iron (assuming of course that the woods were lighter and wouldn't inflict much damage either). So with the golf club in hand I opened the door and silenced the alarm. I first checked the kitchen windows for damage, then the living room and finally the bedroom. All the while Fletcher (Stu's cat) is frantically pacing around me, nearly tripping me through the whole house inspection. No windows broken, nothing missing, as far as I could tell. So the pet friendly motion detector is not so pet friendly after all. At least not when you have cats that can jump behind the TV over the fireplace!

First Post

I'm not really sure what to write about. I created this at the request of my family...well really just Sarah. I really enjoy her posts about her daughter Zoe and I'm always begging her to post more often, so I guess this is what I get!

As I said in the *ahem* brief description, Stu and I are going to be parents this year. I am 12 weeks pregnant. Yesterday he and I heard the heartbeat for the first time, which suddenly made it all become real. I have been stifling my excitement due to an early miscarriage last year. He and I both tried to keep it a secret until we heard the heartbeat, but it seems just about everyone knew anyway ;) I promise to start posting pictures of my belly when I start to show, but right now its all me (even though there's a lot more of me than ever before).

Here's the technical information for those interested:
8 Weeks--155 lbs
12 Weeks--154 lbs--170 bpm (fetal heart rate)

Well I guess that's about all for now. I hope this makes you happy Sarah ;) And to everyone else I promise every post won't be about baby news!
