Random-er

Anyone who knows me knows I have a tendency to be a little random at times.  A question about shoe sizes in the middle of a conversation on gardening.  A story about high school graduation during a Discovery Channel program on coral reefs.  It's pretty much standard procedure at any gathering.  Megan's good for a laugh or two, just listen closely.
But since Baby Ferg made his/her appearance things are even more random-er as my appetite has now developed its own random gene.  Subway subs, strawberry jello, Arby's roast beef, french fries, saltines, yogurt, barbeque chicken, baked potatoes, hot dogs, pb & tomato sandwiches (love you, mom!) and many more things that have flitted through my mind but escape me right now.  And my appetite seems to have no sense of timing.  I'm eating breakfast foods at 4pm and a baked potato at 10am.  This is normal, I've been told, but I'm beginning to think that there is no 'normal' pregnancy. 
Which is why I'm not really super interested in staying rightontop of every symptom and development right now.  I'm not saying it won't come, but I'd rather just enjoy things as they happen. 
And right now what's happening is that my appetite is being random again.  Time to add to the list...

Good or Bad?

Good = naps, sunny days, windy days, realizing that Baby Ferg is actually happening, having an excuse to lay down for 20 minutes after my shots...
Bad = tomato sauce of any sort and the painful indigestion that follows, the fact that I love tomatoes/spaghetti/pizza, having to make a grocery list of saltines, ginger ale, lemons, gatorade, grapes, etc., eating only an apple for breakfast...
But to finish with some more good:  God's wisdom, God's mercy & grace and of course, Baby Ferg! :-D

BFF!

Baby Ferg's First!
It's our first picture of Baby Ferg.  He/she is about 5+ weeks along and has a very strong heartbeat.


Baby Ferg truly has 'come a long way,' and we want you to know our story.  The August 2011 post explains the journey we've had up to this point.  We hope you will take time to read it and share in our excitement.

**On a related note, only one of the two embryos implanted.  We're sad that we won't get to meet #2, but we know that he/she is in heaven and we trust God's wisdom for our lives.
