Belly Heavy

I am finally starting to show and I guess I am one of those women that likes to show it off. It could have been going back for seconds at Thanksgiving or that the baby has finally decided to grow. Happy days are here again because I'm not sick anymore.
Hopefully Jer is feeling better as well. We both had an interesting time in Florida battling the nausea and finding any food that seemed remotely appetizing while Chase and Chris ran the Ironman.


We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Chase and I invited a bunch of people from our ward to come over including the missionaries. It was a blast! All the girls spent the whole day cooking while their hard working husbands watched the Broncos defeat the Cowboys... Broncos.. Broncos...Broncos!!!


We are grateful for many things this year. We have each other, a little healthy Zygote, and Chase fond a job! Cate made the proposal that we finish the Book of Mormon by the end of the year and Chase and I were still in 1 Nephi. We rallied and we are almost done with Alma after having to read about 10 pages a day. We didn't want to be the only Cannon's not participating. We have already seen the blessings come. Chase got a job yesterday clerking for a law firm pretty close to our apartment and I have finally found permanent work as well. Hooray!!!

Speaking of protruding bellies, we find out soon what we will be having. I actually really want a girl and I know I will be a tad bit sad to find I am having a boy but he'll be the coolest boy ever!!! Chase thinks there is a boy in there because only a triathlete (like him) could survive the birth control. I find out in ten days and I can hardly wait. I did some old wive tale tricks and they say I am having a girl. If you hold a necklace with a heavy metal object on the end above you belly button as you lay down and it stars to make clockwise motion, you are having a girl. If it goes counterclockwise, you are having a boy. Mine went clockwise. It's all very fun, but my doctor laughed at me when I told her my tricks. I would KILL to find out what I am having right now. Patience, patience. I want to start shopping!!! (Forget that we are dirt poor for just a second:-) Gotta love being in law school and prego all at the same time!
