Crawfish and Music Festival in Spring!

Ferrell and I went to the Crawfish and Music festival last night in Old Town Spring. It was really fun. It reminded me of the old carnivals that used to travel to different towns. It was in a park, with straw and rocks laid down to keep the mud under control. I should NOT have worn my platform sandals, but hindsight, and all that. We left late because Ferrell really wanted to see his band The Burden Brothers. We saw them a year or two ago, and he jumped at the chance to see them for $10. They played a mean set. It started at 11, and ended at 12:30! Yes, I was quite tired. Thank God they had chairs. I could see pretty well from where I sat, so it was good. I actually had a better time watching all the drunk WT's. I saw two guys come to blows before the mounted policeman sauntered over to break it up. Then, some old man spit beer at the band, and the guitarist got so pissed he started yelling at the guy! I love the drama! Plus, I was far from it :). I had my staple carnival food: funnel cake! Ferrell had boudin balls and well, let's not discuss the after effects....
Overall, it was a fun weekend. My old friend Vickie from Amsterdam (and soon from Switzerland) is on her way over with her baby Wyatt. Can't wait to see them!

Second Trimester, here I come!

Okay, so I finally made it through the first Tri. Luckily, I didn't get sick! But I was really sleepy. Now, my belly sticks out! People are noticing now! My belly "popped" last weekend when I was in Austin for a conference. I was just thinking to myself "Man, my belly sure is harder today." Interesting...but true. It feels like a rock! So, now I officially have to keep my pants unbuttoned all day! I borrowed some maternity clothes from my friend Natasha, so I am set. I also bought some things at the outlet mall on the way to Austin. I had no idea the Gap had maternity clothes!
So, life is good. I'm very happy! And most important of all.....the school year is almost over! Countdown...18 more days!!! Woo-Hoo!

I'm Preggers!

Woo-hoo! I have been CRAZY busy since I found out! And I found out on my birthday!!! I am so excited! WE are so excited! Ferrell is convinced that it is a boy! I hope so too, either way I will be very happy. My first trimester has not been so bad. I'm in my 11th week! I have a pudge, but really I already had one before all this happened, it is just pushed more up and out! I haven't been sick, but I have been very tired. I don't even want to knit anymore!!!! NOOOOO!!! All I want to do is read, read, and sleep. My pants are getting tight! No!!!!
I have a doctor's visit this Monday, so I will have more info! I will hopefully hear the heartbeat!
More info when it happens!
