Food cravings: Still pizza, lots of fruit and lots of cold things. Like pasta salad, cheese, fruit ice pops, etc. Oh! And rice! I can eat the heck out of some plain buttered rice lately.

The littlest but biggest news!

I haven't written in a long, long time, but life is wonderful.

I have a job that I love, a home, 2 sweet kittens, a wonderful husband, and... a little one on the way!

Baby O'Brien is coming September 2014!

No, we didn't waste any time. But I am so excited! I am only 7 weeks along right now, so we are calling him/her "little feet" because we don't know yet. Our families are so excited!

I hope to post some belly pictures soon!
