February 25

One year ago today Rick asked me to be his wife at sunset at Battery Park in NYC.

Rick...I still can't believe you asked. Saying yes was the best decision I ever made, and you are the greatest gift I'll ever receive. Thank you for making marriage so much better than I ever could have imagined.

This is one of the pictures we took that day (pre-engagement).
And Rick, I was wrong. You did wear that outfit. Good job saving it for a special occasion.

Cravings

I don't know if I've actually had any pregnancy cravings. Just a big desire to eat something in particular. But I like to pretend I have just so I have a good excuse to eat some yummy things (and sometimes it gets me out of making dinner). They've been...

• Peanut butter and banana sandwiches
• Skittles (lots and lots of them)
• French fries
  
• Chicken Parmesan and french fries

Not too much else on the pregnancy front. I've been feeling the baby move for about a week now. I love it. Rick has decided he will learn to tap Morse code on my stomach to send signals to the baby. He's got SOS down and is now working on Hi. And in two weeks we'll know if it's a boy or girl! I can't wait.

Thank You For Voting

The polls are now closed in the "what am I having?" poll. Nine of eleven of you think that I'm having a boy. According to the old wives' tales, I am having a girl (the baby's heart beat was 160). And Rick and I don't know. We've gone from boy to girl to we don't really know. In my heart of hearts, I'll be happy with either (even though I've always pictured myself as the mom of a bunch of boys). We're planning on finding out the sex and will know in the beginning of March (God willing)!

Question: how do you know when you become one of the old wives?
