In my first trimester of bring pregnant with Ben I was non-stop nauseous for weeks and TIRED all the time (like, going to bed at 8 p.m. or earlier tired). So far, this baby has been much kinder to me. :-) I have had a few moments of nausea and I have certainly been much less energetic than before but no early bed times yet and there has not been anything or anyplace I have patently refused to eat because it sounded so awful. I have been, however exceedingly hungry, especially the last few days. Yesterday, I satisfied my hunger like a champ with peanut butter pretzel sandwiches topped with toasted marshmallows, some almonds topped with toasted marshmallows, some more peanut butter pretzel sandwiches topped with toasted marshmallows, and about half a bag of Doritos. That was all consumed between lunch and dinner. Ah well! You win some, you lose some, right? :-) With any luck, today will be better!

In other news, our family spent a recent weekend in Port St. Joe with Jeff's mom and had a fantastic time, as always. We ate seafood every night (we all had fried scallops, oysters, shrimp, mullet, and boiled shrimp over the course of the weekend) and it was AMAZING! Ben, yet again, enjoyed a few raw oysters when we went to Boss Oyster in Appalach. That boy can sometimes be a very adventurous eater. His favorite part of that meal though....the peanut butter pie for dessert. :-)

We had a fun time hanging out with Nina, walking along the beach each night with Scout, and breathing in the cool, salty air. There is nothing like the Gulf Coast. Can't wait 'til we go back in June!
