I know not everyone knows yet that I'm pregnant, but now you can all know. I wanted to wait until we had the first ultrasound to make sure that there really is a baby that is growing before we announced it to the world. And now we have, so now all can know.
I am only 17 weeks along, but the ultrasound technician will do gender checks early, so I jumped at that opportunity to not only find out what we're having, but just so I could actually see my baby before my dr. apptointment at 22 weeks.
We went in yesterday and got to see our baby for the first time moving around on the screen. It was great to actually see it. Although, the experience didn't really make it feel any more real to me. The only thing that made me feel pregnant was the horrible nausea and exhaustion during my first trimester. Now that I'm over that, I just plain don't feel pregnant. I have to keep reminding myself that come July 18th, we are going to have a baby, and life is going to be very different for us.
Dave and I are very excited to have our first baby (aside from the two babies we already have - Emmy and Porter). It will definitely be an adventure to add a baby with two full time jobs and full time school between the two of us.
Dave will still be in school, as he still has another two years ahead of him (I feel like I've been saying "two years" for the last two years .... oh, wait, I have... hopefully, it's really two years this time). For those of you who don't know, Dave changed his major last semester from Construction Management to Secondary Education in Business and Marketing. He is extremely excited about the change and loving his classes so far. He has also decided to double major while he's at it in Business Management. It will be a lot of work and take a lot of patience and endurance to get through, but it will be worth it.
I will keep working at the neurology office where I am right now, and Dave will hopefully still be with Kohl's Dept. Store. He recently got a job there in Customer Service and Cash Office. He is only working part-time for now, but we are hoping he will be able to get a full-time management position soon.
So that is where we're at right now. Staying busy and planning for a new baby girl. I will keep everyone posted as time goes on.
