I'm Pregnant!

So for those of you that didnt know...I'm pregnant! And this is our little bundle of joy!...at 8 weeks.

Of course I'm actually not anywhere near 8 weeks along. I'm actually 17 1/2 weeks along. I know...kinda waiting a long time before saying something. It's not that I didnt want to, its just that being on the computer longer then a half an hour makes me feel so sick...up until recently that is. So I'm finally feeling up to posting about things. I'm due September 29, 2011 and we find out what we're having in just 2 weeks. I can't tell you how excited we are. Eric absolutely loves this little ultrasound picture and he can hardly wait to get another one.

So I'm past the "I feel sick all the time" stage, but I get this fun thing where I get kinda sqwimish at certain sights or smells. But other then that, sickness is gone. Although I am having trouble sleeping, being comfortable while I sleep, and then waking up with back pain. So that's no fun. I'm getting rounder each week, which means I get this awful stretching pain on the side and bottom of my stomach, but I figure things could be way worse. So I should just be happy that baby and me are healthy still/so far.

In other non-baby related news, Eric's work is keeping him busy. Which is good for us, it means our bills are going to be paid...on time! Ok, so we've never not paid our bills on time, but its nice not having to check how much money is in the bank to see when we should pay. So Eric started out this year possibly going away for the entire summer...without me. But ever since the baby he's been working so incredibly hard to make sure he can be here for us. I love him so much and I'm so proud of him. So it turns out that within all this hard work he might have to be in California for a month and then possibly live in vegas for a little while, but things are certainly not set in stone. However, if this is what happens, I've decided that it's much more do-able then his pervious locations of Texas or Chicago.

So with how much work Eric has been doing we actually have money to buy baby stuff. I'm super excited for that because the baby isnt even here and I was worried how we we're going to provide for him/her. So its definately a load off my mind...well for now at least. So thats about it. I'll try and post some pictures later. Pictures are not my strong point, so hopefully I'll get the desire to do one soon.
