Baby Bump

Okay so here are some belly shots. I did not really start showing until week 16. The first 3 months were a crazy mix of feeling sick almost all the time, throwing up my breakfast or dinner at least 2 times a week and not having much motivation for anything. Did I mention the naps? Wow! I remember a few days were I think all I did was lay on the couch for the entire day! There were several times when I was driving and eating at the same time and seconds later chunked my entire snack back into the same bag I bought it in. Those days are long behind me now and I am a ball full of energy with baby excitement beaming out. I felt his first little kick around week 18. That was super cool and I can't wait for Brent to feel it too.

Positive

This is the day we found out we were having a baby! This was one day after Brent's 32nd birthday. What a great gift! Yep, two red lines means baby. :) We honestly could not believe it. We went though some initial shock even though we had been planning and hoping for a baby. We did not get pregnant right away and had to wait a while for this little miracle. After we got the positive test the waiting seemed very insignificant. We are so thankful for this wonderful gift!

Family Blog Entry #1

Hi all!

I have wanted to start a family blog for a while now. Today celebrates 3 years of marriage to the amazing Brent P! I am also 19 weeks pregnant (with a little boy) so it seems like the right time to get this thing started. I hope to share what is going on in our lives since we live so far away from our family and loved ones. I hope to also share some of Brent and I's past journey along the way. I look forward to what will come!
