So Excited

I haven't been so good at keeping the old blog up lately - mostly because I've been completely unmotivated and exhausted. This is a good thing for you though, because since I've been completely exhausted our lives have been extremely boring and I've had absolutely nothing to write about anyway.

Back to being exhausted though.....there is a good reason for all of this and it's because I'm pregnant!

Well there we have it, the cats out of the bag! It's actually not much of a secret anymore as we started telling the world (i.e. facebook) on Thanksgiving.

Thrilled does not even begin to express how Steve and I feel! We were a little surprised when we found out, to be perfectly honest. We had literally just started trying and then 2 weeks later I was pregnant. I was not prepared for that at all and figured it would take a good 6 months to a year, but apparently Steve does in fact have "super sperm" (his term, not mine) like he's been bragging about for the past 6 weeks.

So anyway, I'm about 10 weeks along right now and due on June 29th. We had an ultrasound that looked good and my midwife seems to think that things are progressing perfectly.

I've been exhausted and kind of sick and these last few days have been especially miserable with those round ligament pains I heard so much about when I first got pregnant. Last night I was in so much pain every time that I tried to lay down and go to sleep that at midnight I finally ended up going down the living room to sleep sitting up in one of our arm chairs. Not so comfortable, but at least I wasn't in as much pain.

Time is passing by so quickly and I'll soon be out of the first trimester (Thank God!) and I know that before we know it our little one will be here. I've been overwhelmed with how much we need to do in a short amount of time and am constantly reminded about how much life is going to change. I'm pretty scared, but full of excitement at the same time.

God has been so good to us and I am so thankful! What way to bring in the holidays!
Here's a picture of our little bean...I think he/she kinds of looks like like a little chicken in there, Steve thinks it looks like it's smoking a cig. Hopefully we have neither going on in there! :)
