Christmas!

Well, Christmas started off not so great but turned out fantastic! It began when I woke up at 4am to throw up and I had this MASSIVE headache. Then took meds and went back to sleep. Then had to wake up twice more to throw up. No fun. And come on...on Christmas?! Finally Zofran offered me relief from up-chucking and I was able to get back to sleep till it was time to see if Santa came. He did :)!

Darrin is such a sweetheart and spoiled me rotten. He even got me scrapbook paper that says, "Welcome Baby Boy!" on it. haha. He'd better hope he's right about that :). And rather than an orange at the bottom of my stocking he put an artichoke. haha. My favorite ever!!!

After we had our own little Christmas we headed to my parents where we had lots of fun with our new PJ's that we get every year. We ate lots, did our gift exchange, stories and visiting. My parents got everyone huge digital photo frames that have sound for music and everything! We're super excited about it!

Then off to Darrin's family's where even our little unborn baby got gifts! As always, we had a lot of fun over there too!

So, Merry Christmas and onto the New Year!


My little nephew, Joshua, had so much fun that he became tired and fell asleep like this right on the floor :)

Oh BABY!...

Well, I think it's time I spilled the beans...I'm Prego! In two days I will be 14 weeks along and I am due on June 22, 2010. That's kinda why I haven't blogged in such a very long time. It's because I had this incredibly exciting news but didn't want to tell the whole world until I heard the heartbeat. Well, we've heard the heartbeat now and it sounds great! So, now I can finally shout it out to the whole world! YAY! We're really excited about it and can't wait to meet our little one. I can't explain how amazing the heartbeat was to hear though. It was like music to my ears and I've played back the video we took of the heartbeat MANY times!

Although we're super stoked, it hasn't been all fun and games. Unfortunately, I've been real sick :(. Why on earth do they call it "morning sickness" anyways? It's SO not only in the morning! WARNING: It can strike anytime and anywhere! So, it's been rough with such an unpredictable health tablet.

But I'm pretty much finished up with the first trimester, so hopefully goodbye sickness soon!!! (anyone who's willing: some extra prayers wouldn't hurt :)).
