20 weeks.

So I am so glad I am not sick anymore, Hallelujah!!! This week has been really busy, but really fun. I am starting to show, to the point that if people didn't know I was pregnant, they are now asking. So we also decided, since we (Richard and I) have to wait until October 5th (22 weeks) to get the ultrasound done, you have to wait that long to see my tummy! :) I will post all those pictures at the same time. The ultrasound, the tummy and then you get to OF COURSE find out the gender of my little sea monkey. I feel really well, no morning sickness at all, I just have to eat all the time. The main thing I have a problem with right now is smells, I almost threw up at work today because one of the halls smelled HORRIBLE! No good. And I finally am eating normally, there are still a few things I can't eat because of the smell or because of a previous encounter with them, but I enjoy being able to eat the same thing as my husband for dinner. And this month, my new craving is BAGELS! Bagels and marinara sauce...crazy? I don't think so! It hits the spot. And life is so good!

its late...I know! 19 weeks.

So, my baby and uterus moved up a bit and therefore, some of my pants that were not fitting are now fitting again! Kinda odd...but I am happy. My mom bought me a new dress to wear this winter while I am pregnant. I am feeling good for the most part, there are good days and bad days. Our doctors appointment yesterday allowed us to hear the heartbeat again, and we heard it for longer. Richard's new best friend was the doctor we saw yesterday, when the doctor heard the heartbeat, he declared that it was very MASCULINE. And so Richard is holding onto that prediction, even though all of my friends are dreaming about my baby and the dreams are predicting a girl. We will see! Life is good.
We got to see a new neice and nephew this weekend in St George. Richards sister came down from Alaska with her two adopted children, and they are so so cute. They have SO much energy. But Richard loved it. We also got to go wakeboarding with some of his family. I was fortunate enough to obtain a nice cold while in St. George, even though it was HOTTER there! Explain that to me. And I can't take sinus medication or cold medication since I am pregnant, so I am getting along the best I can with my Vicks Vapor Rub. Yeay!
Hope life is good for all my friends!

at 18 weeks...

As of yesterday I am now 18 weeks, and my pants really don't fit anymore. In the last week I have really started showing. And I need to buy new clothes. I also get to go to Wal-Mart and buy a body pillow today, for my comfort and enjoyment, and also so that I can get some sleep!
At 20 weeks, I will start posting pictures of my "bump" according to requests and also just because. We find out what it is on October 05, so we will keep you updated! :) We are very excited for this new fun adventure in our lives, and are grateful to all of our friends and family who love and support us! Thank you!
