Our Exciting News

Hi All,
Sorry it has been so long again since I have written, I am going to try to start writing more and more especially now that we have some exciting news!

Well I am very excited to announce that we are going to have a baby! We are 10 weeks 1 day pregnant as of today! So far no (or very minimal) morning sickness (only twice in 10 weeks) and I am already starting to show, its not much but its also no longer bloat. I am so happy to finally be able to tell everyone.

We arent too caught up on whether it will be a boy or girl and will be thrilled about having either. Sophia is super thrilled that she will be a big sister and loves going with us to see HER baby, she still thinks to this day that the baby is in the kitchen though (since that is where we hang the ultrasounds).

The cravings I have had so far are for jalepeno jelly, hot fresh homemade rolls, cheesecake and candy.

Well I will now attach pictures of the bump as it is growing (note that some look bigger because of lovely bloat) and also ultrasound pictures.

I hope that everyone has been having a great summer and I will work on updating weekly :)
