Thanks

We cannot say "Thank you" enough to all of our friends and family. You have truly helped us become who we are today. We are so excited to be adding to our family!!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We got to spend time with most of all sides of our families. We even already picked up our Christmas tree. We won't set it up until we clean the house a little more, and rearrange the living room yet again.

We hope everyone had a wonderful and memorable Thanksgiving;
- HERE COMES CHRISTMAS!!!

Cold

So, now I have a cold. I was told that I could be congested during the whole pregnancy. But now I have a full-blown cold, and of course, I can not take anything for it.

I tried to eat some seriously spicy queso, but Scout (our dog) decided he needed to try it before I could eat it. Oh well.

I hope this goes away by tomorrow so I can enjoy all the yummy goodness at The Nelsons and then more yummy goodness with dessert at The Jensens!!!!

Ultrasound

We got to see the baby!!!!

We had our ultrasound on Tuesday and it really made everything real!

The baby was 2.81cm long, and it's heartbeat was 167.

As soon as we can scan the pictures, we will post them!

Our updated due date is June 20, 2010! Yep that's Father's Day!
I get so confused about the whole, the first 2 weeks of the pregnancy is when you aren't even pregnant. So whatever, we are 9 weeks 4 days pregnant.

Excitement

We had our first OB appointment on the 9th. The doc says I am a week ahead of what I think I am, so we get to have an early ultrasound for dating.

So, we go in for our first ultrasound tomorrow and I am beyond ecstatic! I know Brian will record the heartbeat and I can't wait to get some pictures! I am pretty sure we will get some pictures, so I will definitely post them. I just can't wait til the appointment is over and I can feel some relief. I will admit there is part of me that feels this isn't real, even though I have been sick as a dog.

I have been feeling a little better lately, but I am still exhausted. I have been trying not to work such long hours, and some days I succeed at that.

Brian has been amazing!!! I am so exhausted and he has done so much! He has put up the Christmas lights already (twice, cause he had to fix some), done almost all of the laundry (trust me it's a lot), put up with my already crazy mood swings, reorganized our new furniture in the bedroom and even bought me some chocolate. So to surprise him, I decided to buy him the new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. I told him it was time for him to relax and not do anything over the weekend. So, I got out of his hair, went shopping with my mom on Saturday and then had to work Sunday. I think he is really enjoying the game.

Hopefully, I'll post some pictures tomorrow....

Lately

So Halloween was completely uneventful! We didn't even have a single trick-or-treater! We still did a little trick-or-treating of our own, and delivered baby trick-or-treater baskets to 2 of our sisters.
We then sent 5 more baskets to other siblings and friends across the country.

We are slowing telling friends, and cannot wait til we have our first appointment next Monday! We will finally get to figure out how far along we really are. As of right now I think our due date will be anywhere between June 12th and June 26th.

Well, I have tried to enjoy my day off as much as possible, but now I must run errands. O, sleep how I do love you right now!
