Update

We are pregnant! Things have been really crazy over the last 8 weeks. We were supposed to go on a cruise for Russell's work, but the night before we were supposed to leave, I started having a lot of pain in my stomach. We had just found out that we were pregnant a few days before. The pain got to the point that I was in tears, and I was really scared. We went to the emergency room. They did a bunch of tests, and thought that my pregnancy might be eptopic, so they told us not to go on the cruise. The next two weeks brought lots of doctors appointments and ultrasounds. We were so excited to finally find out that everything was okay. They figured that all of the pain was from a ruptured cyst, but it wouldn't harm the baby at all. About three weeks ago, we got to see the baby's heartbeat! It was so exciting.

I'm now 12 weeks along. Yesterday I couldn't do up the button on my pants for the first time. I don't look pregnant yet, but my belly just looks like I've been having some really big lunches. I'm really excited for it to turn into the 'bump'.

Of course, Russell has already equipped our baby to be a LSU fan. The day after we found out that we were pregnant, he bought the entire crib bedding set, along with the LSU mobile. We had to make a compromise -- if it's a girl, the bedding will have to wait in the closet until a boy comes along. But either way, we will keep the mobile out. It's really fun to see him so excited about everything.

Champions on Ice

Well, because I'm such a loving and supportive wife during football season, my husband decided that he needed to pay up. He got us tickets to Champions on Ice back in May. I absolutely love ice skating, so I had the time of my life. It was beautiful!! On our way back to the car after the show, we saw Sasha Cohen walking from the arena to their bus. There were about 20 people lined up in the parking lot, so she went over and signed autographs. Michelle Kwan came out shortly after her. I got to take a picture with both of them!! Look at me, I'm so excited!! Thanks Russ!! I'll go to as many football games as you want this fall!!

Sunny Days

One of my favorite things is being on the beach with Russell.

Geaux Tigers

My husband is a self-proclaimed football addict... and if there's one thing he loves more than football (well, besides me of course) it's LSU. We have purple and gold trash cans, clocks, wall hangings, helmets, a mailbox... we even have an LSU cake topper from the groom's cake at our wedding. SEC football is something else... I've even grown to become a fan!! Geaux Tigers!!
