Dr. Visit

I had my exciting dr visit today! Just a check-up to make sure I'm not having any problems. A couple pluses: I haven't gained any weight since last month and my blood pressure is normal. The best part of the visit: I GOT TO HEAR THE HEARTBEAT!! It was very fast, which is normal. I was so not expecting to be able to hear it on this visit! I feel bad though, cause poor Ryan wasn't along, so he missed out! It was truly amazing, and once again, I cried! Now just 2 more months and we can see it again and maybe it will cooperate with us so we can find out what it is. I'm still thinking it's a boy, but who really knows! Can you believe, already almost 3months!!!

Great Weekend!

It was a great weekend for Mrs. Murphy. It started on Thursday night cause I had off Friday! A bunch of people from work all went out on Thursday night to Timeout in Eagan. I, being pregnant, sober drove for my sis, Pam. It was a good time, but you know how it goes when you're sober and ready to leave and the drunkie you're driving wants to stay for "one more". Well it was a late night for me, didn't get home till 11pm. Then on Friday, I was up early and on my way to see Twilight!!! The movie I've been waiting for for months! And it was everything I was expecting. Edward is HOT. I'm going to see it again this weekend with Laura, Pam, Kari, & my mom. Can't wait. Friday night I went out for dinner with Andrea, Lindsey, and Bobby. We went to Bellanotte in downtown Minneapolis. It was a very fancy restaurant and the food was very good. We're going to go back when I'm not pregnant and make a night of it. On Saturday, I ventured off to the Burnsville mall to pick up some new black pants and I had to make a stop at Target too. I got some cute holiday socks for Laura and I. Sunday, I did pretty much nothing. I hung out at my parents house in the morning because I was up at 6:20AM, not happy about that. I lounged a lot, went for a walk, and cooked a great dinner. Meanwhile, Ryan was hunting all weekend! He shot Bambi tonight:-(

Almost 11 Weeks!

I cannot believe how fast this is all going! I've been very lucky to get through the 1st trimester with no vomitting! Just a little gas and nauseous here and there. I hope that with my second it's this easy. I'm finally over the feeling of being hungover too! I've been a great little wife this week cooking dinner for the last 3 nights straight and a 4th one to be delivered this evening. That's a lot in the Murphy household. I've even invited a guest to enjoy, my sis Laura. I'm making her favorite and then we just might play some scrabble!

Family Photo!

It was a weekend spent mostly hanging with the Murphy family. We had dinner at Mike & Pam's on Friday night after Ryan got home from his tree convention. Megan & Tyler were home, so we got to spend some time with them too. On Saturday, we had dinner at Joe & Sara's. Sara has been busy painting the house, and it looks so much better. Christian was around for awhile so Pam made sure to get a Murphy Family Photo for Christmas. The girl next to Megan is Joe's girlfriend, Sara and her son, Mason. Just in case anyone was wondering. And yes, that is Christian, so grown up, on my lap. Crazy how fast time goes.

Baby Update:

I am now over 10 weeks along and everything seems to be going great. I'm not nauseous anymore, but I have been getting headaches more frequently. Other than that, I'm still pretty tired all the time and going to bed by 8:30pm on work nights. Just a couple more weeks and I should get back some more energy, so I hear.

Here is our little bundle of joy! The head is the big thing on the bottom.

It's all really real now!!!

Well we had a great dr visit yesterday. We were able to see the little bundle of joy! It was amazing!!! It looks like a bean and it was hanging out on it's head. The dr. said that she's never see a baby stay on it's head the whole time like ours. It's certainly a Murphy, showing off already! The heartbeat was at 171 and everything looked great. My due date is June 12th! I was at 9 weeks exactly yesterday! I'll try to get a picture of the ultrasound on the blog page for everyone to see!! So excited!!!!

Long Week...9 weeks!

It has been a long week, thank heavens it's Friday tomorrow! Nothing too exciting has been happening at the Murphy house. I finally had the energy to take down Halloween decorations and workout yesterday. Other than that, I've been very lazy and so tired. I finally had to kick Willy out of the bed last night because I've become such a light sleeper! I wake up every hour!! Since he wasn't in bed last night, I was able to sleep straight through from 8:30p till 1:30am. It was great, and so needed. Just thought I'd share a pic of my Willy!

Tomorrow is our 1st ultrasound so we can hear the heartbeat. I'm a little sketchy that we will actually be able to hear it, I think it might still be too soon. But I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I just want to hear it and see it so I feel better about sharing the news with everyone! Also, all of my test results from the 1st dr visit came back completely normal! Great News!

Back to work! Only a few more hours to go and then home to enjoy a homemade tuna hotdish, courtesy of Pam Murphy! Thanks!

Halloween Party

Laura:Dead Whore; Eric: Freshman 15; Ryan: redneck; Chrissy: TMNT; Whitney: Flapper; Pam: Lady of the Night

Well we survived the Halloween Party. It was lots of fun, more fun for some than others. There were some great costumes, a couple hundred jello shots, some competitive rounds of Tippy cup, and a nice fire (that Eric B would later puke on). A few people were actually sick that evening, and those that weren't felt pretty crappy on Sunday. I myself felt a little hungover (I didn't have anything to drink but a Dr. Pepper and water). It was from the lack of sleep and all the work the day before. I had to sleep in the spare bedroom upstairs because Ryan was Snorphy. I could even hear him upstairs. So worth it though, the party that is, and I'm definitely having another one next year. Eric Burvee won 1st place in the costume contest, and Ryan won 2nd place for sexiest costume.

The intense Tippy cup game. Ryan and Carrie Minton are talking some smack to the other team!
