SE Texas

We went to visit my dad, stepmom, and sis this weekend in southeast Texas.  We had such a good time.  As usual, my dad grilled fish and shrimp the size of an egg.  Surprisingly, we even talked him into accompanying us to a family day out to Galveston.  

 
Though it was dang hot, but we had a fabulous time.   The highlight of the day was when a seagull pooped on the back of my shirt.  I've now been pooped on 4 times by a bird in my lifetime.  In some cultures, its a sign of luck.

Daniel's favorite part was the old submarine that we toured from WWII.  I'm not sure who geeked out more... my husband or my dad. (-;

What to expect

Right after we found out we were pregnant, we got a book at a garage sale called What To Expect When You're Expecting.  We paid $0.50 for it.  It was a $14 book. 

I hadn't read it lately since we've been so busy.  But tonight, between hosing of my hubby's sneakers, partaking of a sort of weird textured smoothie that my dad made, and watching the syfy channel with my stepmom and sister, I scanned over the 4th month chapter.

In the 4th month, it says many women feel flutters or butterflies in their stomach.  That's baby being active.  I've felt that quite a bit lately.  I randomly feel odd little bumps that feel like baby is playing around in a bounce house in my tummy.  Other times it feels like I've been turned temporarily upside down on a roller coaster for a second or two.  I have found that baby always becomes active almost immediately after a snack. 

Hooray for baby movement!

The Husband's Business

I spell and my husband does math. I'm administrative and he's, well, not. I fly by the seat of my pants and he has ever present urges to plan down to the last, itty bitty detail.

Needless to say, I'm helping him restructure his business. I won't lie, we usually fight during these brainstorming events. We like to do things so differently, it's a miracle we decided on the same day to get married!

Oh well, he does help me every time I need some muscle to get me set up and torn down for an event. He also gives input when I ask if a new design is sell-able.

I guess I should probably suck up my "I'm right - all the time" attitude and help him structure his business the way he wants to do it. Sigh.
