Big News!! Small delivery ETA Feb 8th

After much excitement, we finally announced that we're having a baby!!! So, to keep everyone updated, I'm going to TRY to take after my friend Tricia and update as close to weekly as possible on all the excitement :) So, we'll start by catching everyone up on what's been going on the past month and a half.
My first 'baby bump' picture. Nothing there, just thought we'd get something early on. I'm about 9 weeks here. Kind of a last minute idea as you can see by my 'just out of bed look' :)
Nick decided he'd be supportive and do 'belly' pictures also!

Nick left for school in PA at the start of June and was planning on being gone for 3 weeks with no breaks. That first week he was gone, I was planning all sorts of things to do with my friends from work, girls nights out, etc. On my first outing, a 4 hour bike ride on the Eastern Shore in sweltering 104 degree heat, I became very nauseous...thought I was just dehydrated. So for the next few days I was drinking tons of water and Gatorade and just trying to get through a couple days at work. I just felt terrible! Nothing was tasting good and something just wasn't 'right.' So after many jokes, I finally took a pregnancy test...and much to my surprise it was positive!!
Me at 11 weeks...still not much going on. At least I'm ready for a picture here!
Nick's cute belly again


I got real nervous and immediately called my friend Tricia who very calmly reassured me that Nick and I could do this, we already had two dogs and they're doing fine! So, in the next few days, I called to make a doctors appointment and planned on how I was going to tell Nick. Fathers day was coming up and I couldn't think of a better time to tell him! So, on one of his short days of school, he drove home from PA and I had a father's day card from the dogs and a small present wrapped for him. I wish I would have gotten a picture of his face when he saw the positive test!






Me at 13 weeks....I can tell I'm getting thicker but everything still fits!
