It's been a while!

Well, today we are 14 weeks pregnant. This past week, I've thrown up twice, gotten put on light bed rest for a week, listened to the baby daily, and felt the baby move three times! :) The bed rest is because of cramps. It's mostly just annoying. I can't stand having to lay around for most of the day... Oh well. Mostly a good week. Exciting news... we will be having our "Big ultrasound" on November 22nd and I can't wait! I want to know what this little stinker is so badly! And I'm not telling anyone who isn't at the ultrasound! HAHAHA! :) (Just kidding, I'm sure I'll be so thrilled that I won't be able to hold it in!)

Matthew's parents will be coming into town very soon, and I can't wait for that either! I think it's so great that we get to have Thanksgiving at our new home. Matthew promises that he'll fry me a turkey this year (along with the baked one) but we'll see if that happens! haha! Mrs. Mary gets to go with us to our big ultrasound, which is really special. I'm so glad that at least one of our moms gets to experience that with us. I wish mine could be there too, but plans for her coming seem to keep getting messed up.

Well, we found out that Matthew will be deployed in May. He didn't want to tell me at first, but now I'm glad he did. I needed time to get past him missing the entire first year of our child's life. It still hurts when I think about it. I'm glad that the baby won't remember, but I know that Matthew will and I know that it is going to kill him... I don't want him to miss out on major milestones, 1st birthdays, 1st holidays, 1st steps, 1st everything... THOSE are the things that kill me. That's all I have to say about that...

Well, we're going to have a small costume party this Friday (Halloween). Matthew and I are going to be a Priest and a pregnant Nun. hehehe! It's a little inappropriate, but hillarious none the less. We'll probably have hamburgers and hotdogs, and we'll probably play a couple of games. I think it'll be a fun night. As long as I don't get too tired too quickly, as that happens alot lately.

Oh! AND... I started our wedding scrapbook, our baby scrapbook and I'm ALMOST finished with thank you notes for our wedding gifts. :) I'm SO happy about that!

Well, I guess that'll be it for now. I miss everyone and I hope I get to see (or hear from you soon.)

Recent Appointment

Well... Matthew is home! :) I'm so thrilled!

We had an appointment on the 2nd and although we didn't get to look at this little light of ours, we did get to hear its heartbeat through a doppler! At 6 weeks and a couple of days, the little heartbeat was at 118bpm. This time... 10 weeks and 3 days... 167-172! How exciting! I'm so glad that Matthew got to hear it with me. It's such an emotional experience. I love it.

We also went ahead and scheduled our "big ultrasound" appointment for the 22nd of November, so we should know what this little stinker is then! Let's hope we have a flasher! Mrs. Mary is going to get to go with us and I hope that my mom will be able to as well! I guess all we can do is wait... But I'm going to go crazy in these next 6 weeks of waiting. I just know I am.
