The Joys of Pregnancy

Ah, the joys of pregnancy, tired, emotional, and sick. This has been one of my roughest weeks so far. I am constantly nauseas, have horrible headaches, and I came down with some sort of viral infection. So this weekend will hopefully be filled with plenty of time for rest. It has been real hard keeping food down and most of the time I stick with crackers and water to be safe, so I CAN NOT wait till the sickness subsides and I can get back to my normal appetite again. We did get some really exciting stuff this week though. We received our first baby package in the mail from Heather, Greg, Riley, and Blake. It was filled with such goodies like little shirts for the baby's first few days, a book/journal for me to keep, a manual for andy to read on how to operate this little bundle of joy :) and a gift card. Reality really hit when we opened it and it has really helped me get through this week. In the morning when I don't feel well and don't want to go to work I walk past the little shirts on the dining room table and pick them up and it reminds me all the sickness is worth it because of this little one inside of me. We can't wait for our next appointment its on Wednesday morning, it will be fun to see how much the baby has changed since we saw it on our ultra sound 3 weeks ago. We will post updates Wednesday after the appointment. Hope everyone is well, and prayers to help the nausea ease up some would be greatly appreciated!

Love you all,

Hilary and Baby

Gods Sense of Humor

Ok, most of you know this story, but for those of you who don't here is the short version. After a year of trying to have a baby, doctors visits and meds Andy and I decided to quit trying for a little bit and enjoy our new life in Florida. Well of course God always has a plan of his own. Two months later we get the surprise of our lives and find out a little baby burrow is on it's way. I have no doubt in my mind that the morning I took the first test(yes Andy made me take 3) God was just up there laughing at us because we didn't expect this at all and he had his own plan all along.
They think I am about 6 1/2 weeks now, we go back on March 4th to find out how far exactly I am and our definite due date, which will be sometime in October. So far the little one has taken alot of my energy and made me sick the past few days, but I am enjoying every minute of it (after all I did ask for this). Besides my wonderful sister has been having sympathy nausea for me so atleast I have someone to go through it with. :) Also one of the girls at my work is pregnant as well and 6 weeks also so this will be fun to go through this with her at the same time too.
I have had several people ask about Andy for those of you wondering he has been feeling fine, no morning sickness and no cravings yet he he, the only thing he has is a headache from listening to my complaining, but after 3 years of marriage I am sure he is used to it by now. We will try our best to keep this as up to date as possible. We can't wait to share this journey with everyone and we look forward to hearing from you all!

Love,
Hilary, Andy, and Baby
