Baby G is coming to town!

Well, I have been protesting blogging lately. Don't ask me why. I think it may have a connection with my aversion to facebook. Another story for another time.

Mike and I have been vacationing with the families for the past three weeks. Finals finished on Thursday and we left Saturday. A week and a half with the Garrard's and a week and a half with the Davies. It was a fun partying, talking and eating. We miss them all so much.

Well the Wednesday before we left, during finals week, I was feeling sick so I went into the doctor's office. Short story long, we find out we are pregnant!!! Yay! We decided it was time back in March to start a family. It just felt like something was missing or someone. The temple sure does the trick too. lol We weren't going to announce it until September, but it just kinda came out. Everyone was shocked and excited. I think my dad is still trying to believe it.

I have been feeling good as expected. Heart burn is definitely a burning fire. lol March 22, 2012 is the estimated due date at this point. I had my first doctor's appointment on Tuesday. The first ultra sound. Not going to lie, it was weird. Didn't quite believe that it was my uterus on the screen. Did you know that there is a yoke? ya, I didn't know that either. We got a couple of meds for the nausea and heartburn. Unfortunately the nausea medicine makes me sleep which is something that I try to not do in the middle of the day. My doctors were surprised that I haven't been tired at all. I am glad that I haven't been tired. One thing this baby does not like is working out. I am still working out and running regularly but the baby likes to make it difficult by causing nausea. I am a little over 9 weeks along. Our baby is the size of an olive.

I have been sick but no complaints here because it could be worse. I can eat anything that does not have a smell which is mostly foods that aren't good for me. Unfortunate but I try to eat good things. V8 juice has been a great thing in my life. Well, that is all for me. We are extremely excited about this and we are still having trouble believing it. lol
