2010 is going to be AMAZING!

Wow. A lot has happened since July! I swear I'm going to be better at keeping up with this.

We got another kitten, our third and final one. He's the sweetest, most loving cat in the world, and somewhat special needs. His cerebellar hypoplasia makes him walk funny and lose his balance, but he's not sick or in pain, and it's not a degenerative condition. He's brought a lot of joy to the house.



We're both loving the Coast Guard life... We're so lucky to have made good friends. It makes the whole living-in-Jersey thing tolerable :)

We celebrated our first wedding anniversary, and marked a year living on Sandy Hook.

And then I went ahead and drank the Sandy Hook water...

We're having a baby!

I'm almost 12 weeks pregnant, and the baby's due August 24, 2010... On a full moon, we've just found out.

We're beyond thrilled and just focusing on enjoying the whole journey... August still seems so far away! I've been so fortunate- I had a few weeks of nausea, but that's passed, and I'm sleepy all the time, but other than that I feel great! It's so cozy being pregnant during the winter.

I always pictured myself totally pigging out during pregnancy, but this baby seems to be healthier than his mama... The only major cravings I've had have been orange juice and tomato (sun-dried, on pizza, sauce, and ketchup!).

Now that we have something so exciting going on, I'll be updating here quite a bit! For now, I'm off to do some baking and enjoy a lazy snow day... Chris is on duty this weekend, so I'll be watching the Superbowl alone, unless I decide to venture through the snow to the Community Center.
