So most of you have heard, but yes, we're expecting a baby! The little one is expected to arrive July 3rd... maybe he or she will have fireworks to welcome them into the world. :) We're definitely excited and I'm already eagar for the pregnancy to be over. Here's a little background on how it's gone so far.
Early October: Find out we're expecting. Hurray!
Late October: Start getting sick. A lot. Not fun, but I can handle it. Miss a day or two of work.
Most of November: In about a matter of two weeks, I lost 20 pounds. In and out of the hospital 3 times. Received an IV twice, once in the ER, once in the doctors office because the ER bill wasn't so fun to receive. Tried lots of different medications, none worked, ended up on a feeding tube. Threw that up. Special family fast and lots of prayers... got better within a day. Had a great week, went back to work.
Beginning of December: Got sick again. Missed another week of work, almost ended up on feeding tube again. Horrible week, lost the few pounds I'd gained back plus some, ward had a special fast for several individuals going through health problems. Got better. Back to work...
End of December: Went HOME for Christmas. I struggled here and there throughout the month, but stayed on top of it by taking medication consistently and being careful with what I ate and smelt (seriously). Christmas was wonderful, only sick here and there. I hit 13 weeks the Sunday after Christmas and I've been doing fairly well since then! I'm actually starting to get a little baby bump. :)
All in all, we're so excited and can't believe we'll be parents in about six months. Although the little tike is grounded for making mom so sick.... J/K... sort of.
We'll keep you updated on plans, gender, name, and all the other fun details.

SO Happy for you! And so good to see you over the break!
Hurray you're pregnant and sorry that it's been a rough pregnancy. This baby is just getting you ready for mommyhood. I can't wait to find out what you're having.
Oh man! That sounds awful! Why it has to be worse for some than others, I have no idea! But once you see the sweetie pie, you definitely won't be thinking about how sick they made you (because there's so much else to think about!) Soak up this time of anticipation! You'll have a hard time believing it ever happened once it's over...Luv you!
Congrats guys! I was due July 4th! little punk didnt come till the 6th though. hopefully you will continue to feel better throughout the rest of the pregnancy. and hopefully a rough pregnancy means an easy labor! :) Mine was the other way around.
good luck you will be a great mom
