14 weeks and Counting!

I have felt very, very sick the past couple of months. My days have been filled with taking care of my two girls, cleaning, laundry, working (as much as my body will tolerate sitting at my computer desk), and cooking (as much as my body will tolerate the smells of food). A lot of extra fun activities and running around have been limited or just plain cut out due to momma not feeling like herself. After two months of sneaking breaks, naps, and laying on the couch as much as my daughters would allow me too; I finally decided this pregnancy sickness crap was for the birds! I went to my OB to get a check up before our long drive to Wyoming this weekend, and she gave me a prescription for my nausea. It has helped with the nausea, however it doesn't help my fatigue. I have to time when I take it very carefully so I don't fall asleep! Last night I took one at right before dinnertime, got things cleaned up, put the girls to bed, Rob left at 8:30pm to play basketball, and I went straight to bed. I slept the whole night through! It was crazy!
My doctor's checkup was good. I am 14 weeks along, and baby is doing well. I have had a lot of cramping, but my doctor feels that is mostly ligaments stretching and straining. Already!? I got to take an early peek at the baby in an ultrasound, that was really fun. We thought we might wait to see the sex of the baby when he/she was born, however I have been swayed to to learn the sex early for preparation reasons. (I knew I couldn't wait!) My doctor told me it may be too early to tell, however if she saw something pretty definate she would tell me. She told me she was 98% sure it is going to be a BOY!!!! Can you believe that!? My husband is still a bit skeptical of the news, and we aren't running out to buy a bunch of blue anytime soon. But it is really exciting to think that I have our little son in my belly! We might finally have our boy! It has been really fun to think about that this week.
We are leaving this weekend for Wyoming to my sister's wedding. We are so looking forward to seeing everyone, but not looking forward to the long drive. We just pray the weather holds up nice enough for us to get there and back without any problems.



Can you believe that belly already!? It's a shocker to me too!




Alyssa's haircut we got the other day. She said she wanted her hair cut pretty for the wedding. She is the flower girl.

Got Bella's hair trimmed up too. She threw a fit in the hair salon, I was all hairy and sweaty from holding her down by the end of it. But we could finally say good-bye to her Billy Ray Cyrus mullet!

...Stay tuned for pictures from the wedding and our fun family vacation!
