Another update after long breaks

Well it has been an interesting couple of weeks. It has been hard for me to blog as the most exciting thing in my life these days was something we weren't ready to share yet. B and I are going to have a baby! We are not to the end of the first trimester yet so it is very early but we decided to share the news anyway. I am pretty much an open book with things that happen to me so keeping it a secret wasn't working for me. As well if somethign were to happen I would tell almost anyone so I would rather share the good news with all first so you can celebrate me with me. Most everyone knows already so if I didnt tell you personally I apologize. I have been doing as much individual sharing that I can while still working and sleeping a LOT. :)

We found out the week of Thanksgiving we were going to have a baby. At that time all the pregnancy stuff I could read said the baby was about the size of a dash... which has now become the baby's name... Dash. At thanksgiving dinner we shared the news with our immediate family. It wasn't until this weekend we decided to share with all family and friends.

It was most definitely unexpected but not unwelcome. Bryan is more excited than i have seen him in awhile. He can't wait. Unfortunately we have about 7.5 months to go.

Currently I am 7 weeks pregnant. Morning sickness started last week and hasn't let go since. needless to say I am slightly less excited than B. I can't wait for the first ultrasound, December 27, which will be the first time I get to see what is going on inside. I can sure feel it!

The week of thanksgiving I also ended up getting real sick. Being in the first trimester, Dr's don't want you to take any medications as it may harm the baby. So I ended up waiting about 6 days and finally asked for something. They gave me sudafed but it did nothing so three more days later, the dr finally said ok we have to take care of this. I had a sinus infection/ear infection and bronchotis. yikes. The antibiotics worked though and I feel better. Still a little stuffy but have a nasal spray I can take.

The due date is July 31, 2007. It may change with the ultrasound but either way, next August we will be parents! wow.
