first ultrasound.

we had the first ultrasound today :) sooo fun!!
here are the first pictures of our little one:

while it doesn't look like much, we were able to see the heart beating which was really neat. the heart rate was 116 bpm. apparently at our next ultrasound, we will be able to see more actual parts - can't wait!!

the beginning of this week was a little rough. i woke up monday morning feeling pretty terrible. monday was the worst but tuesday and wednesday, i was queasy. no actual being sick - just feeling like i might at any time. last night i decided i really needed to eat something substantial but i'd had a hard time eating any thick or chewy meat the night before. soooo, we went to kfc(i mean who wouldn't when you feel queasy?!? :)) and i got chicken, mashed potatoes, and green beans. when we got home, i had to force myself to eat but once i got started, it wasn't a problem. i finished it all in about 5 minutes. i was apparently starving!!
after i ate, i sat on the couch just waiting for something to kick in. apparently my miracle cure is kfc!! sounds yummy (& oh so good for me!) we're wondering if it wasn't a bug because it was over so quickly and i'm feeling fine. i'm hoping it was or if it was some kind of morning sickness, it stays away. it was miserable!

big news.

it has been forever since i have posted last & there is good reason :)

brian & i found out that we are going to have a little one at the beginning of june. we are so excited & can't believe that we are so lucky!!

the last few weeks have been spent sleeping, telling the family, sleeping, taking it easy, & more sleeping. i am apparently one of those pregnant people who gets really tired when i'm not doing anything and will crash.

we had our first doctor's appt last wednesday and everything looked good. we have our first ultrasound on thursday - we get to hear the munchkin's heartbeat!! we can't wait. it's hard to believe that there's a little one growing in my belly but apparently my body is well aware - it wants to rest at any opportunity :)

rylea & addie were in charge of "telling" our parents. i made them bandanas that say "i'm going to be a big sister." they were soooo cute and worked well. our parents were surprised but very excited!!

here are some pics from the last few weeks...sooooo exciting!!!

our positive test.
