We are having a boy!

Once again I have fallen behind on blogging, but I am attempting to catch up.  So back in May Andrew and I found out that I am pregnant.  We waited a few weeks before telling our families and waited even longer before telling everyone else.  I was so excited when I found out.  I took one test and there was a very faint line, so I quickly took another which a definite positive and then for fun I took another.  Once it had sunk in I jumped around my room doing heal kicks.  Andrew was at work when I found out and didn't know I was taking the test.  It was so hard not to call him and tell him the news, but to make it a little easier I called and told him I had a surprise for him when he got home.  I then made a path through the house with string that had words taped to it.  The string led to a big box full of pink and blue balloons and under them was a piece of paper that concluded the string of words, pretty much just saying "we are going to have a baby!"

The first couple of weeks after I found out I was pregnant I felt great and couldn't even tell I was pregnant.  Starting around the third week I began feeling VERY sick.  I couldn't get out of bed without having to run to bathroom to vomit.  I would drink water and within 10 min it was coming up.  Smells were horrible.  Just being in our house made me sick, so I spent a lot of time in bed or outside where I could get some fresh air.  Being consistently sick lasted about 4 weeks and I ended up losing quite a bit of weight and am just starting to get to my starting weight.  I think being pregnant is the most amazing thing ever and I love every part of it so I tried not to complain too much, but I know there were times I definitely whined a little to Andrew.

I am now 18 weeks along and we know we are having a BOY!!  I finally "popped" last week and started to show.  I still don't look very pregnant and really just look like I'm getting a gut, but it's coming along.  Andrew and I already can't wait for our little guy to get here.  Andrew talks to the baby every morning and night and it's so fun to hear what he says.  We also registered after we found out we were having a boy.  That started out being a blast.  We took a couple of the girls that live with us along and they helped pick things out.  By the end I was tired and ready to be done.


That is all for now.  Here are a few pics.
