An update and some pics

I know it's been a while since my last post, but there just hasn't been too much to write about! Yes, I AM getting bigger (by the minute), but you expected that, right?

Anyway, a couple weekends ago, I went to my future sister in-law's bridal shower up in Blacksburg, VA. Jason's brother DJ and his bride-to-be Heather are getting married on July 22, and Jason and I are both in the wedding. It's not unlike the Terreri family to have a new baby and a wedding within a month of each other! Jason's mom, his sister Kim and I all drove up for Heather's shower and had a great time. I've included a few pics from the weekend.

Look for my next update the week after Jason's Ironman on April 9!

3rd trimester check in...

Thought I'd drop a few lines as today is the beginning of the last leg of my pregnancy! Thanks to everyone who submitted their guesses for the baby pool-- don't forget to post if you haven't already! After reading everyone's predictions, it looks like we have a 50/50 chance of having a boy or girl. :)

Let's see, what's new to report... Well, after searching for all of the perfect pieces, the nursery is finished. Jason tells me I'm not allowed to buy anything else for the nursery (sure thing, dear!). We purchased our first big baby item-- the Pack 'n Play. This is the Swiss Army knife of baby items-- it's a bassinet, crib, changing table and playpen all in one! Even comes with a vibrating mattress (not coin-operated).

The baby is moving all the time, and the movements are pretty intense. I'm constantly staring at or feeling my stomach trying to determine which part of the baby is moving. Every day it's the same thing, and yet it doesn't cease to entertain me! I'm really excited to meet this baby!

The other big news is that Jason's Ironman is now officially one month away! On April 9, Jason will cover 140.6 miles of Arizona terrain to hear the words, "You are the Ironman!" His training has come a long way and he is now at the peak of some of his hardest work outs-- ie, 100mi bike rides followed by a long run on the weekends. And yes, it's true-- while my waistline has been expanding, Jason is now a shell of his former self and looks incredible!

I've included a belly pic for your viewing entertainment. I imagine by now that you are sick of seeing pregnancy pictures and ready to see baby pictures. Me too! Soon enough... 91 days to be exact!
