What's New?

New Shannon
Thought we would have some fun with the facial hair before shaving it for work!
Here, he's all grown out on his days off:



Here, he's shaved just the chin and even left the little "fuzz" below his lip. He's trying not to laugh after looking in the mirror:Here, he's gotten rid of the fuzz and looks like a mean wrestler!
You know, the only facial hair allowed on the fire department is a mustache! Take a gander:

I made him shave that off! Don't worry.

New Phone

We just got the new Samsung Instinct- their version of the iphone. We love them! We originally bought them for $100 each. But, the day after Thanksgiving we happened to be in Sams Club again and saw that they were discounted to $50 each. Shannon, being the shmoozer he is, was able to get a $50 dollar refund on both of our phones since we had only bought ours a week earlier! Check it out:




I use my navigation a lot!

New Experience
Went to the Ellen Degeneres Show live at Caesars Palace last Friday!


Well, if you want the real dirt on the event's drama go to Becca's blog! But, I must say that the waiting in line and the frustration was well worth it for me! Several other people were meant for those tickets, but I'm so glad that Becca invited me to go! It was so exciting being in a live audience and experiencing, "We're back in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!"

Pink and Bette Midler Guest Starred and they were fabulous! I love Pink's new album so that was such a treat to see her!
And it just so happens that I'm going to see Bette at Caesars on Dec. 5th. I'm pumped up for that!

New Bump

This was a "before shot" at 6 weeks:




This is entering into my 15th week- 6 pounds attacking my belly!

Breaking Headline: Shannon Wins!

If you refer to the "about me" section of "The Phills" blog, you will notice the following passage:

Although there are no chittlins yet,
Mr. Phill insists that there will be
an addition soon. The Mrs. is thinking
she needs to figure out how to get men
pregnant...

Sadly, I have exhausted my resources and my research stands firm that it is MY duty to get fat and go through excruciating pain in order to have a bundle of joy!

This is Shannon's favorite part of the story- HE WINS! All the arguments and excuses I have come up with pertaining to postponing children have failed.

I'M SPERMATIZED!


I am currently in my 13th week of pregnancy and glad to report I was only sick for barely a week! I feel great! I have been experiencing other symptoms though including extremely terrible acne. My grandmother thought I had chicken pox!

I have had two ultrasound appointments. My first appointment was at 8 weeks and the baby's heartbeat was 175BPM. I had a second ultrasound at 12 weeks and the baby's heartbeat was 152 BPM. The baby measured 2 inches in length. Everything looks great and healthy at this point and we are so excited to have an addition to our family!
Went off the pill at the end of July and was spermatized in August. Shannon has some serious swimmers! Ok...maybe a little too much information.
Baby Phill is due on MAY 27, 2008

Here are some cute ultrasounds...




Told my mother in a cute scrapbooked card for her birthday from Baby Phill!

She looks way too young to be a mamaw!

Told Shannon's family like this... even though they didn't get it for SEVERAL minutes!



YAY for Baby Phill!
