Putting the "fat" in Fat Tuesday

Yesterday was Fat Tuesday of course, so I was sure not to miss the opportunity to participate.  I was actually really good all day, but for dinner I splurged on pizza bianco with tomato, ricotta and mozzarella, fried zucchini, and Caesar salad.  Which left me too full to have the cannoli.  I was burping all night.  But it was delicious.  When we got home, I thought it would be a good idea to listen to the baby's heartbeat.  (Friends of ours so sweetly gave us a fetal Doppler so that we could listen to him anytime...it's so cool!)  Amidst all the digestive noises and things gurgling, we could hear his little ticker beating away, a sound I never get tired of hearing.  Every week I get a little update on the size of the baby, and this week, I just thought it was so cute--he's the size of a spaghetti squash.  Not too tiny anymore.  I'm looking forward to the weeks ahead...it's getting more and more exhilarating, exciting, brain-bending, and nerve-wracking all at the same time. 

Awesome Gift!
