Merry Christmas!

Christmas is finally here! We are off to celebrate Christmas Eve with Danny's family this evening and then we will head over to my parents' house for Christmas Day in the morning. We are looking forward to spending time with both families!! I don't know about Danny, but I am ready to play some games!

Pregnancy update: I have been battling "morning sickness" almost all day lately. I got some advice from family and friends to eat/drink sour stuff and use Preggie Pops to help alleviate the nausea. So far, the Pops and lemonade have helped a bit. Unfortunately, the situation makes it difficult to eat, so I've been eating ramen soup, pretzels, popcorn and tuna casserole. I hope I don't get tired of these too quickly :)

Changing the subject back to Christmas, we are both so very thankful for all of God's blessings this year - two of the most notable being our 1st anniversary on December 28th and expecting our first child! We hope and pray that all our family and friends feel God's blessings also!! Merry Christmas to all!!!

More symptoms...

Well, it's been a couple more weeks and I am now experiencing more symptoms of pregnancy. Along with a few changes in my body, I am hungry often and have even begun to experience a little nausea. I am not so fond of the last part, but I'm dealing with it the best I can! Danny has been very helpful when I'm not feeling well and I am so blessed to have such a wonderful husband! We are both looking forward to our first prenatal visit with the midwife in January.

So excited!!!

I got up on December 3, just a regular Thursday morning, and debated on taking a pregnancy test even though I really didn't have any symptoms. I decided to go ahead and take the test...very glad I did because it turned out positive! It was really fun getting to wake Danny up to tell him :) He wanted to have confirmation so he asked me to get another brand and take one more test on Friday morning. Well, I got to wake him up with another positive test!

Now one week later, I am beginning to have more symptoms and it is so exciting!!! It is still a little hard to believe, though :) It is nice having such a large and wonderful support group to go to for advice and help. We look forward to sharing the journey...
