hooray!

So it's been killing us to keep this a secret and we're so excited to announce that I am pregnant! We're expecting our first in May and we're sooo happy/nervous/excited/anxious/thrilled! It's pretty much impossible to keep a secret from your family when you work with them, so both of our families had already guessed. I told everyone that I would never quit drinking my precious diet dr pepper unless I was pregnant... so when I quit a month & a half ago, they all knew. We denied and denied, though, and told everyone on Halloween :) Hopefully we tricked them. {ok, stephanie, we know we didn't trick you!}

So far everything is going great! I haven't thrown up once... although I've felt terrible plenty of mornings, afternoons & evenings. Mostly all food just sounds disgusting. And the food that does sound good starts grossing me out half-way through eating it. I have had zero energy and have been struggling to stay awake at work all day! My bedtime is now 9pm, and it still doesn't feel like enough sleep. So for those of you wondering why I have been a complete hermit lately, now you have your reason why :)

We went to our first doctors appointment and apparently I'm very healthy and the baby looks great! We got to see the little heart beat on the ultrasound and it was amazing. After measuring the baby, they told us the due date is May 19 {I'll have to post the ultrasound picture later... but it just looks like a frog, so don't get too excited...}.

In short, we are really excited. We can't wait for baby to make his/her debut next year!
