9 weeks

This is my 9 weeks belly pic. It felt like a long week this week...probably because I was battling a cold and just feeling generally more tired.

We also have been moving forward with house hunting, but it looks like there's starting to be a lot more competition with other buyers. We put an offer in a house that we loved, but it didn't work out. Please pray with us about our next steps.

Also--thank you for everyone's advice about morning sickness! I feel like I'm sort've getting it under control (or getting used to it, anyway!)

8 Weeks

This is my belly pic at 8 weeks:

It's been a long week....lots of morning...and afternoon....and evening...sickness! I'm hoping the second trimester is a lot more fun. I've also gotten the cold Peter has been fighting these past few weeks. :(

On a positive note, I think we're getting closer to finding a house to bring our baby home to. :) Thanks to my mom for coming up and looking at houses with us!

P.S. Anybody have any good tips to fight morning sickness???

7 weeks

This is my belly pic at 7 weeks. I know it's not such a good picture . . . but we never got around to taking a new one...

Someone told me that week 6 of pregnancy would--and I quote--"kick my butt." So true. The last week and a half has been challenging. Morning sickness? It should definitely be called ALL DAY sickness! Some of my favorite things right now are Ginger Ale, Macaroni and Cheese (with salt and pepper), Trident mint gum, and sleeping.

I have my first official OB appointment on Friday morning . . . I asked the nurse if I should bring my husband. She said it will probably be the most uneventful prenatal visit--a lot of paperwork and bloodwork. I guess I haven't mentioned it yet in the blog, but our official due date is September 22nd.

Here's a fun photo of Reese. We thought it would be nice to give her a pillow for her kennel . . . When I came home from work, I found her like this:

In other news, we are still looking for a house to make a home for our baby . . . pray that we will make the right decision in God's timing!
