Time Must Fly...

When you're having fun!!! (or something like that)

So, I had my big ultrasound last Monday, the 13th, and we found out that the baby is healthy and growing right on schedule... AND it's a boy!!! So we can now call the little one little Trevor instead of 'it'!!! LOL It was definitely one of the neatest experiences of my life... he was curled up into a little ball sleeping, I guess, when the u/s first started and then he woke up and started moving around. At first, the tech couldn't tell what it was because he was straddling the umbilical cord- go figure, my kid no doubt! But he finally moved off of it and the tech showed us his little man parts...I was glad because now I have a big brother for any other little ones I have...
Brad, on the other hand, was a little disappointed not to get his little girl but was getting over when he decided he would share his middle name- hee hee. Now he is talking about everything he is going to do with the baby by the time he is 2 or 3... oh my!?!?!

In other news, we moved into our house this past weekend. I love it and am not missing our apartment in the least... okay, well a little bit for the simple fact that things were in place in the apartment and now there is still so many things strewn about willy nilly that it is going to drive me crazy... and for who knows how long until I am able to buy the furniture we need to put some of it away. Oh well. I am giving it a couple of weeks and hopefully by then I will feel a bit more adjusted!!!

I will post baby's first pic when I get a chance!!!

It Has Been TOOOO Long!?!?!

Okay, so here is my update... haven't lost any weight, as a matter of fact, I have gained about 10 pounds. I am not sweating it though... why? you ask...

Oh yeah, Brad and I are expecting our wedding baby at the end of this July :-) You want to talk about surprises?!?!?! This little one certainly surprised the both of us, but now we couldn't be more excited! We don't know yet if it is a boy or a girl but will (hopefully) find out one week from today so long as the little munchkin (my nickname for the baby) cooperates! And let me tell you, I cannot wait.

So, the first three months were torture... I had morning sickness every single day- I mean throwing up every morning within 5-15 minutes of getting up; and then had nauseousness off and on for the rest of the day. So, do you think that helped with the outrageous fatigue I was feeling? Heck no, I was lucky to make it through the whole day of work! I am so happy now to be well into my second trimester...

And speaking of my second trimester, we are now into week 20! That means we are halfway through, and I am loving it. They aren't kidding when they say this is the honeymoon period. I haven't really been sick or nauseous, I have been feeling the munchkin moving around- as a matter of fact, he/she kicked me for the first time this Saturday, I have been keeping an eye on what I eat and watching my weight and according to the doc, things are looking good for me and my little one!!! So yippee skippee... we are well on our way!

On to other news; the hubby and I are also in the process of buying a house!!! Ugh, the idea of a mortgage is bad enough but right now I am still trying to get past the closing costs... yucky. But by this time, in a couple of weeks, we should be into our new home so I am looking forward to that. Not looking forward to the move, but still cannot wait... I can't believe we are going to be homeowners!!!

Work is work... looking forward to promotion/raise time to see what they are going to do for me. SO keep me in your prayers on that one; hopefully it will come out in my favor!

I was going to keep a separate blog to journal for the baby but this morning I decided why? Mine as well just post it here and then once the munchkin is here I will go back to my weight loss efforts... and the things is, I am really looking forward to it. I think, in part because I am so proud of how well I have been doing with my weight so far during the pregnancy, and I am looking forward to walking the baby around and getting some fresh air and exercise while I am on maternity leave, and so on... but I still have about 5 months until that point...

I am curious to hear how everyone else is doing...
