This week's goings on...

This has been a busy week so far.  In the past two days, we've interviewed three midwives.  We're eight weeks along and our baby is the size of a kidney bean.

It's funny...when we originally started researching, I came across this woman who kept showing up first and although she was clearly qualified, she seemed a little "hippy" for my tastes based on what she looked like.

Well, there's my reminder about judging a book by its cover, however she wasn't any different than what I thought...but interestingly enough, she turned out to be our first choice.

Here's a link to our new midwife's page: http://www.sandiegohomebirth.com/

That was a time consuming process and it wasn't an easy decision, but we're glad that part is done, so we can get back to life.

So what is gonig on with the Kennedy's right now?

Yesterday Jason started a juice fast.  He's completed day 2...and not feeling so hot (which apparently is right on par).  I'm also participating by juicing, but not fasting.  Trying to eat way more fruits and veggies and not eating out at all is my way of supporting Jason through his fast.  We're both suffering in our own special way:

Jason...from not eating
Stacy...from having to eat vegetables (vile weeds!!)  - LOL

Over the weekend, I had my first meetup group with Active and Happy Pregos.  I met two other women (Stephanie and Rachel) at a nice outdoor restaurant in Solano Beach.  We hung out, ate lunch, talked all about everything pregnancy and got to know each other.  Afterward, Rachel and I went for an hour long walk along PCH and down the beach...it was a good workout...she can walk fast!

The last two days I haven't done any gym exercise...my energy level has just been low and I wasn't feeling too good.  Probably those evil vegetables confusing my system.  My guts want pepperoni pizza - not spinach, cucumber, celery, chard, etc.  Oh gag...just the thought triggers my gag reflex.

Things feel particularly busy right now.  I am meeting a friend from Boston for lunch tomorrow in Del Mar and will be speaking at the Orange County Investors Club on Friday.  On top of that, things are extremely busy at Morrison & Company with having three VAPG grants all coming due at the same time...plus another client I set up on Quickbooks.  I'm trying to just do my best to get through this week.  Jason will leave Sunday on a business trip, so hopefully I can play some catchup that day.

Not much time to focus on what's going on inside.  Once August 29th comes and goes, things should slow down a bit.

Until...I'll do my best to keep you updated!
