Merry CHRISTmas! :)

Today is the day that we celebrate the birth of Jesus. He came to this earth in human form so that He could die for us. How amazing is that?!! We truly have an awesome God.
This year for Christmas, Shad and I decided to spend the day just the two us here in Vancouver. We figure next year will begin many years of busy Christmases with the baby coming, and we wanted to relax while we could. Tomorrow we will go to Pullman to see my family at my grandparents house, and then we will head to Spokane on Sunday.
I am in my 2nd trimester now, and I am feeling a little bit better everyday. I have a little bump of a belly, but nothing too noticeable yet. I am looking forward to the day when I can feel the baby move inside me. What a wonderful blessing that will be!
Well, I wish you all a Merry Christmas, and I pray that you remember that Jesus IS the reason for the season! I love you all!

blah....

So the morning sickness (aka the all day sickness), the fatigue and the terrible metallic taste in my mouth are the pits! I have to admit I'm feeling a little discouraged. I want to be able to drink plain water, eat ice cream, and smell AND drink coffee without feeling nauseous. I really hope that in a couple weeks I will start to feel better. People seem to think that I will, but there are no guarantees. Please pray for me. I AM excited to have this baby, but it's hard to FEEL excited when I feel like this...

Exciting Times!

I decided to create this blog so that you, my family and friends, can share in the experiences of Shad and I as we anticipate the birth of our baby in June!! I am so excited to be a mom, but also very nervous. When I first found out on October 31st, I was so surprised because even though we weren't preventing to have a baby, I didn't think it was going to happen yet. It wasn't until my first doctor's appt. last week, when I saw the little heart beat on the screen that everything seemed more real to me. I am 10 weeks, 4 days along today, and I can't believe how fast time has gone since I found out! I hope that you will continue to tag along in this journey of ours and are as excited as we are to meet this little one! I love you all!
