We may still blog about our dog...

...but in September we'll also blog about our baby! We are so excited and nervous and can't believe it actually happened and we're going to have a baby. We are 10 weeks along and are due September 27th. We went to the doctor last week and it was amazing to see the little tiny gummy bear of a baby on the ultra-sound. Isn't he/she cute? It made it seem much more real and helped me to see the reason I have been spending the last few weeks bent over this fine piece of furniture:I have been pretty sick and miserable. I have some good days - for which I am so grateful, but I spend a lot of my time puking, sleeping and just feeling gross. I'm grateful my mom did this at least twice (so I could come along:)), but 4 times?! Wow. What a woman. Everyone says you forget...I hope so or we'll be a one kid family. In addition to being so nauseous, my sense of smell is heightened which makes cooking, cleaning and opening the fridge insurmountable tasks. This is why after working so hard every day, my poor husband has to come home and fix his own meals from here:
I stocked up on frozen meals so when he comes home I can stay in bed and say, "Hi honey! Glad you're home. Dinner's in the freezer." Not quite as nice as a home cooked meal, but it's better than nothing!

Anyway, we are so excited and are so grateful for all of our family and friends who are sharing this journey with us. I am so grateful to be married to my best-friend and we are excited for this new little life that will be joining us.
