Finished with the 1st Trimester

Dear Friends and Family,

We are finally through the 1st trimester! Yipee!!!!! I can already tell a difference in the way I feel. It has been a tad bit strange going from NO appetite to wanting to eat every 3 hours. I am still not able to eat large meals, however, my body is craving a snack every 3 hours, or so. My stomach even growled for the first time in 12 weeks on Monday. Unfortunately, I ignored the babies cry for food and went to sleep. I paid for it the next morning with a bit of morning sickness, but once I ate, I felt great.

The doctor said that from this point on I need to gain a lb. a week (Since I lost weight during the 1st tri.). I have to admit, I was starting to enjoy watching the numbers on scale dip down into numbers I have not seen in awhile. Oh well, this body is growing a baby...a real baby! That is worth a few exta lb's!

Trey is doing great and had his 2008 performance review this week. Galderma is really starting to see how much Trey has to offer and they are talking about his future possibilities in the company. They have asked him to put together a list of goals that he would like to achieve this year at Galderma in hopes of moving him into the marketing department. On his list are: Finding a cure for acne, rosacea, psoriasis, melasma, and in skin diseases. Trey says that it might be awhile before he is on the marketing team with those lofty goals. :) I suggested that he go all the way and add that he would like to cure AIDS, cancer, and heart disease (That ones for you Waenard).

I hope that you all had a great work week. Enjoy your weekend!

Love, Trey and Melissa
