Being Pregnant

I am by no means complaining. I thank GOD every day I do not throw up in the mornings or feel like crap. But am I ever going to have energy? I mean really. I never knew I could be so tired. I get up at 5:45....get ready, go to work, get home around 5:00....normally I take a nap then I eat supper then I lay on the couch then I go to bed around 9:00. Thats all I do. ever. I don't feel like cooking, cleaning, walking, talking, sitting at the computer, doing lesson plans, picking up something as small as a spoon, going anywhere, picking up a fork, ANYTHING. I don't feel like doing ANYTHING but laying down. I've read this ends after the first trimester....but I've HEARD it never ends.


We went to the doctor for the first time last Thursday. What a nervous then amazing feeling. The anticipation of that first ultrasound is so nerve racking....then when she finally got it up on the screen and we saw that little butterbean shape...I was overwhelmed. THEN she started the heartbeat. Talk about bringing tears to your eyes. That has got to be the most amazing feeling in the world...for now. I know it's just going to keep getting better and better. My next appointment is October 15. But I am so ready for my next appointment with an ultrasound so I can see my baby again. Justin was able to go with me last week, which was such a blessing. It was exciting just to see how excited he got when he saw the ultrasound.

Okay that's all the energy my fingers have for tonight.

The Secret Is Out...

August 14, 2009

Justin and I got a BIG surprise....We are having a baby! We decided we wanted to keep it a secret until we went to the doctor.

I just HAD to tell my Mama and Daddy the news. So we decided that after church we would tell my Mama and Daddy. After telling them we were all going over to my Grandparents house for lunch so it would be a perfect opportunity to tell the family. Mama and Daddy were very excited. Mama realized she is about to have a house full of grandkids and she is thrilled.

We went over to my grandparents and told my immediate family, we made sure to tell them that it was a secret and we only wanted immediate family to know until after we went to the doctor.

Mama is also very excited because if everything goes as planned she will be in the delivery room with me and Justin.

We told Justin's parents and his family. Also told them it was to be a secret until we went to the doctor. Justin's parents were also very excited, as well as Josh, Stacey, Matt & Brooke. Brooke has already nicknamed our baby "poppy seed."

Welllllllllllllllllll.....it didn't stay a secret for long. I'm not really sure how it got out so quickly, but it spread like wildfire. Mostly everyone knows...We go to the doctor for the first time September 17.

We are both very excited about this new chapter in our life. Justin has been amazing through the past few weeks making sure I'm taken care of and making sure I don't eat or drink anything I'm not supposed to. Which that is HIS job to make sure I am taken care of.

I haven't been sick, just tired. VERY tired. Which it doesn't help I have such a long commute to and from work every day. But I am making it.

So there you have it straight from me. Yes, I am pregnant. The secret is out!
