Some news to fill in the gaps

It has been about 11 weeks since I have last written on this blog of mine and what a coincidence but I am 11 1/2 weeks pregnant!! That's right, it happened to me too. I have been trying to convince myself that it is true this whole time since unlike a lot of my family and friends I have had zero morning sickness. That's right, I said zero. Okay, I threw up twice but I only felt sick for a few minutes before and then afterwards I felt great so I don't think that counts as morning sickness. But, I have been exhausted. So that counts for something I guess. But it finally came to fruition for me today when I went and had my physical and Adam and I got to hear the heartbeat for the first time. It was a healthy 164 beats per minute and everything checked out great. The doctor checked everything out and it looks like everything is going great so far. My due date is December 18, exactly 1 week before Christmas. I hope I am not overdue for the holidays for the doctors sake. So, if anyone wants to come and hang with us for Christmas go right ahead because we aren't going anywhere this year. Right now the little baby is the size of a fig, just an 1 1/2 long. It is so crazy to think there is something actually in there. So, Adam and I are soon to begin the grand adventure of parenting. Wish us luck.

Oh man--my sister beat me to it. I was going to tell you that the 17th would be a good day to have a baby. Eli shares a birthday with his uncle and he thinks it is the coolest thing. YAY!!! I am so glad you aren't sick!
