AND OUR SUPER EXCITING NEWS IS...

We're expecting a baby!!!
I'm 13 weeks along and our due date is August 2nd.


We are so excited for this wonderful opportunity to be parents. I can hardly believe that it's real, but my disappearing waistline reminds me that it is:). We had the opportunity to get an ultrasound a month ago to figure out how far along I was. It was so surreal to see the little human growing inside of me and hear its heartbeat. I'm so excited to almost be through the first trimester. It's been rough with the constant nausea, fatigue, headaches, food aversions, etc. but I just know it will be worth it. I'm sure Brad will be glad when I start feeling better, too:). It's been a while since I've cooked him a decent meal. Thanks for bearing with me, honey!!

So I just wanted to let you all in on our exciting news. If anyone has advice on dealing with the symptoms of pregnancy, feel free to include it in your comments. Oh, and yes I am showing already. I'm so short that there's no where for the baby to go but out:). Maybe one of these days I'll post a pic.

Some Pictures from Christmas...Finally!!!

Brad and I had a nice time on our Christmas vacation. We were able to visit each of our families for a few days. We had a fun time at both homes and fit in some much needed rest and relaxation. Thanks to both families for your hospitality and for taking such good care of us!! Here are some pictures from our trip:
