Expecting a Baby in August!!


As you can see from above, there REALLY is a little one in there! We are expecting our first baby on August 20, 2010. As of today, we are 3 months along!!

We will not be able to find out the gender for a couple more months--but all the better. We are not sure if we are going to find out or not...we are still trying to decide. Part of the fun of not knowing is the growing excitement...so I guess we'll just have to think about it more : )

We finally got to tell our family and close friends over the past day or so. It is SO nice to have the secret out...it's hard to keep such an exciting thing like this quiet for so long. We just wanted to make sure all went well in the first trimester. So far, so good.

The best part is-I haven't really been sick (thank the Lord!!). I only had one day where I was really under the weather-and for the most part, not really felt nauseous or anything. Although, despite my best efforts...naps are a wonderful thing. I do find that it is quite pleasant to take an after lunch cat nap when I get the chance. Oh, and I was in pretty good shape and used to eating all the time-due to marathon training--and it's a good thing because I seem to be hungry ALL the time. Since I only trained for 4 months for the marathon...I cannot imagine how hungry I will be in the last 5 months of pregnancy!

We are so excited! Please continue to keep us in your prayers as our little one continues to grow and I am job-searching (preferably in the Wichita, KS area-fyi!).

In the mean time-Chris just left for simulator training in Atlanta, Georgia this morning. He will be there for a month--and I'm thinking he is going to enjoy actually applying all he has learned over the past 1.5 months. (So don't feel too sorry for him being away on an exciting adventure!)

Who knew that it only took a picture frame to be ready, you should have had one of those years ago then. :)
