And no I don't mean morning sickness (I haven't been hit by that... yet). I'm in Missouri for DH's brother's wedding and it is HOT and HUMID! Heat index of 100 degrees and above for the past few days and for the next few days. My thanks to the Gods of AC.

I asked DH if he wanted to tell his parents while we were here (since we could do it in person) and he said, "No, it's too early." It also occurred to me that it might be stealing his brother's and my now SIL's thunder to announce it around the time of their wedding. Still, it's been hard to chat about what's been going on in our lives and not mention it. And to avoid lunch meat and consume minimal caffeine (trust me-- I'm not obsessing about it, I had some iced tea the other day, I'm just cutting back a bit).

On my way into MO, I spent an unintended night in Memphis. There was a big thunderstorm in Memphis and the pilot of the plane I was on was trying to beat the storm into the airport, but we arrived just as it was headed over the landing strips and they closed the airport to landings. We circled through very bumpy air for awhile and then were diverted to Jackson, Mississippi to pick up more fuel. When we got there, they didn't park the plane at a gate, they just brought fuel trucks out to the plane, but then several people demanded to get off (Jackson may have been their destination), so we had to taxi over to a gate and let them off. THEN they found a mechanical problem and we had to wait for a mechanic to come check it out. This whole time in Jackson, they wouldn't let us off the plane to go get food, so I hadn't really eaten something since 10am (PST) and it was now 9:30pm (CST). They finally let us go back to Memphis and, of course, my connection was long gone. Because the main delay was an act of god, they wouldn't pay for a hotel, but they did give us "discount" vouchers. I spent the night at the Marriott (without my luggage, of course) and got there around 11:45pm. "Luckily" there was a 24 hour IHOP close to the hotel so I could got eat something. Good times. Did I mention that I fly back through Memphis on my way home? P
