Ok..
I have heard that your appetite would return in the 2nd trimester, but I am finally experiencing it and in full force! I am a bottomless pit right now. Not really craving anything that I just have to have, but I just can't hardly get full. Like last Friday on our way to Dallas we stopped at Dairy Queen... We both got the "Texas Meal Deal" which came with a big hamburger, fries, large drink and a mini blizzard. Darrin ate his and was stuffed, I at mine and was just about right. It is bad when I can eat more than Darrin... That boy can put away some food if he wants to.. or he can get by with eating almost nothing.. I don't get it, but that is for another time.
I am trying to keep it semi-healty most of the time by eating fruit for snacks at work instead of candybars and and alot of water instead of pop (just 1 or 2 a day isn't too bad I don't think), carrots and ranch instead of chips before dinner time, mixing half healthy cereal with sugary cereal for breakfast. Hopeuflly those things will keep me from crossing over to the next 10x10 on the scale before the baby is born. Ahhhhhhh!!!
I will post another pic soon... I think you will be suprised... Darrin said I am already growing exponentially and is suprised at how "tight" it is when he pushes in on it.. like he thinks I have just been gowing more flab! haha :)

Trip to Kansas
Starting Labor Day Weekend I got to spend the week in Kansas. It was so great to be home for an extened peroiod of time and see everyone without being totally rushed like we normally are. Just a few of the things I got to do while being home..
1. I finally got to see Lisa's beautiful engagement ring and talk about wedding plans. (I guess red will be ok.. hahaha.. just teasing you Lisa, it will be beautiful!)
2. Have dinner with my family like old times when we both still lived at home!
3. Go on a fun trip to Big Hill lake with the Hockett's, Wards, and my favorite Mother-in-law! It was so fun hanging out with them and watching everyone get cold water splashed in their face and bounced around on the tube!! Ok, maybe I was jealous that I didn't get to get out there b/c of my current baby situation... but totally next year and maybe Darrin will get to go. Thanks so much to Aaron and Michele for adding one more peron to the already "illegal" occupancy :)
3. Take both of my Grandma's out together for a fun lunch at El Pueblito partly to celeberate their belated August birthdays, partly to just get to hang out with them!
4. Taco Tuesday at 5th Street in Pittsburg with Erin and Kyle, My sis, parents and some of thier friends. Not quite the same without the cold one's that my dad likes to still try to pour me because he keeps forgetting i am pregnanct, but still fun hanging out with everyone! Erin's house is so cute and nice! She always has such unique things!
5. I went to Stacie's and visited with her and baby Abe! He is so cute and such a good baby! She let me hold him and I totally can't wait until I have own little one. Thanks Stacie (and Sara) for the materinity clothes and books. I have started reading "The Girlfriend's guide" and it is pretty funny... and how true it is to what it is really like and I'm not even close to the end (of the book or the pregnancy)!
6. Next.. I got to go to Kansas City and see my Aunt Carol's new house. It is beautiful and I just love it! Linda, Amanda and Savannah came over and we watched "the BackUp Plan". It was super fun haning out with them, eating dinner and watching the movie on caro's new Tv. Carol and I had a great time shopping looking at baby girl things.. yeah.. we mainly looked at girl things with a handful of boy stuff mixed in just for good measure...and I got to eat out at one of my most favorite restaurant's: Jose Peppers. Ever since college when we would eat there (or at Cactus Grill.. same thing..) when I lived in Lawrence it has been one of my favorites! Everything there from the chips, to the soda, to the espinaca dip to the black beans and rice.. it is awesome.. Mabye I think it is so good, becaue I have such fun memories of eating there with Carol, Linda, and Robin.
7. Still the list keeps on going... Friday night, instead of going to the game, dad and I stayed home and he fixed me dinner because after my trip to KC I was just too tired to go anywhere but the recliner, to the table, then to bed! It is amazing how exhausted I get from doing normal things like shopping, and driving... Satureday I had fun hanging out with Lisa, Mom and Dad at the house and watching the dancing at the Mexican Fiesta. Oh, and mom and I made some pickles which was pretty fun too!
There were alot of things that I am sure I did not mention, but I want everyone to know I had a great time! I miss you guys!
