Good News!


That's right! I'm pregnant! We are shocked and amazed and terrified and completely thrilled!

Here are some Frequently Asked Questions....
1. How did this happen?
That's a great question! Ask your parents.
2. How long have you known?
Almost 7 weeks. And you thought I couldn't keep a secret.
3. How are you feeling?
For the first 9 weeks, I felt zero sickness and lots of tired and LOTS of emotions. When I hit 9 weeks and 1 day, I threw up in the parking lot at walmart and have been feeling waves of nausea ever since. I'm thinking it will go away soon.
4. How's Nate?
Nate is more than I could ask for. He's fairly concerned that I've been abducted by aliens, but loves me and encourages me anyway. His internship is going so well. He's been pulled into a couple of "non-intern" projects which is really exciting. It's a great company and we'd love for him to land a job there, but either way, we're grateful for all of the experience he's getting.
5. How's Summer (the dog)?
Summer is crazy. We are working hard to get her trained and ready for a baby sister (or brother) in 6.5 months. We tried to explain it to her, but she got distracted by a squirrel.
6. When is the official due date?
April 27, 2011. That puts me at about 10 weeks.
7. Any odd cravings or aversions?
I crave Gummy bears. All the time. I never cared much for gummy bears, but I find myself wanting them all the time. My aversions change every five seconds but have (surprisingly) included peanut butter and red sauce often.

Pray for us and our little growing baby. We are so excited and working constantly to prepare ourselves, our marriage, and a whole bunch of other things for this little one.

Ahh... Feels good to get that off my chest. Now I can blog again.
