We're Expecting!

As if 2009 wasn't already exciting enough with an engagement, wedding, and house purchase...we just had to add in one more event...a baby! We pretty much decided after the wedding that we would wait a month to detox our systems and then as they say, "pull the goalie." If it happened before October great and if not we would wait until the new year. And then BAM! It happened. Pregnant by the end of September. It was a rough first trimester. I felt hung over almost every day and had never been so tired in all my life. I found myself going out to my car at lunch just to shut my eyes. Chicken made me gag. In fact I couldn't really eat much for dinner so then I would wake up at 3 AM starving. Then there is the pee factor. Waking up sometimes two times a night to go pee. Really?! And then my hips were bothering me. I went from our bedroom, to our guest bedroom, to an air mattress all to try and find comfort. No comfort found. My hips were expanding and aching and I couldn't do a darn thing about it. But then we went to our first ultrasound for our 8 week appointment and it is then that you realize it is all worth it. Seeing this blob in your tummy with a beating heart is the most amazing experience. It's truly a miracle and I feel so blessed that I get to be a mommy. Only 32 more weeks of pregnancy to go!
