Where I've Been

Sorry I've been MIA for a while. It has been crazy, to say the least.

The majority of the insanity has been great...on our Anniversary, Bryan and I found out that we are expecting! We wanted to wait for our first appointment to make sure everything was OK before we made a big announcement. So on Dec. 11 we had the first ultrasound and got to see and hear the little one's heart beat. It was amazing.

While we couldn't be happier, it has been a bit of a challenge as well. Being sick every day (why do they call it morning sickness when it lasts all day??), wanting to do nothing but sleep and only being able to eat a total of about 10 items has definitely all been new. I am currently 10 1/2 weeks along, so hopefully in a couple of weeks the whole sick/tired thing will begin to fade. Bryan has been his usual wonderful self, very supportive and not even taking issue with the fact that he's been on his own for dinner every night for about a month now (I cannot handle the smell of just about anything cooking...).

Anyway, that coupled with the holidays (luckily I had all of my shopping done early) and an unexpected trip to California after Thanksgiving for my grandma's funeral has left me without energy to get much done other than those things which are absolutely necessary.

Everyone tells me that once I get through the first trimester I will return to my happy, energetic self which will of course leave lots more time for posting on the blog :)
