My Mom has expressed her frustration over the fact that none of us blog much anymore. In my defense, here are my reasons for falling off the wagon:
1. Only like 5 people ever read this blog and most of those are family so it makes me feel nerdy and desperate.
2. I am not witty or a fabulous story-teller like my sisters and Mom are so I don't think anyone's missing much.
3. I haven't had much news.
Well- if you read my Mom's blog you would know that #3 on that list is not entirely true anymore. We've just recieved the biggest news yet: We are having a baby! I know some say it is a faux-pas to reveal a pregnancy when you are still in the first trimester due to high risk of loss- but when you have waited, tried and prayed for something for almost 2 years it is way too exciting to keep quiet. Chris and I are obviously very happy. We have a Dr's appointment this Wed. and they will do an ultrasound to reveal a viable baby with a heartbeat, and determine a due date! I am about 8-9 weeks along so we're thinking early Dec.
So far being pregnant has changed our lives in some ways:
I am queesy/sick 24 hours a day which is fun-not to mention getting a cold on top of that. All I ever want to eat is cheesy or greasy food and fruit. I am OBSESSESED with all things baby and luckily there is a 4 hour block of A Baby Story, Bringing Home Baby, and Birth Day on TLC everyday for me to enjoy (My sister-in-law Heather just passed on 4 new pregnancy books to me- and one of them has some very detailed delivery photos...yikes!) Chris has been so sweet- running to Jamba Juice for me when all I can attempt to eat is a smoothie, letting me take several days off work without feeling guilty, and putting up with my whining. He is going to be a great Dad. Well that is it for now...keep you posted (all 5 of you).
