Clothes.

Ugh. I went shopping tonight for a few maternity items for myself. I am not quite needing them just yet, but my pants are super tight these days and I know things will continue to get tighter. Let me just say that I am ready to look pregnant, and not just bloated! I know the time will come. Needless to say, shopping was not the most enjoyable experience tonight. However, I did walk away with two new pairs of pants and two new shirts. I'm hoping to be able to borrow some clothes from friends who have had kids and saved their maternity clothes. My wallet is not going to be able to afford new clothes every time my belly gets bigger.

I am so excited that tomorrow is my FRIDAY! We have a teacher workday on Friday and it is a "work from home" day. That will be lovely! We also have our first ultrasound on Friday afternoon!!! I cannot wait!! Baby is a green olive this week. So cute. :) I'm still feeling pretty good, just extremely tired. I'm so grateful to have felt this good during these first 8 weeks. I pray that this continues.

Well, time for bed.

Beach.

One of my absolute favorite things in the entire world is waking up at the beach. Justin and I have been so blessed to be able to pack up and head to the beach whenever we so desire. Justin's grandparents have lived at Topsail Island, NC for several years. Sadly, they are in the process of trying to sell their home. The great thing about this is that they will be much closer to us! This is something I am very excited about! We are here at the beach this weekend for what will likely be our last stay at the "Fun Bunch" beach house. I am looking forward to a beautiful weekend of relaxing with family.

I don't really have any baby updates today. Nothing has really changed since my first post. We do have our first ultrasound this coming Friday! I am extremely excited about this!! Until next time. :)

Baby.

March 3, 2011. A day that changed our lives forever. Justin and I found out that we are expecting our first child! WOW! I cannot believe that this day has finally come. I have wanted to be a mom for as long as I remember. And now, my dream is finally coming true. Well, it will come true sometime around November 6th! As of today, I am 7 weeks, 2 days along. Our baby is supposedly the size of a raspberry. Cute. I have been feeling pretty good for the most part since finding out I am pregnant. I have had occasional nausea, especially when I'm getting really hungry, but nothing too terrible. For that, I am thankful. I feel so blessed to be a part of a family that will be growing by 3 this year! My sister and my cousin are both expecting babies within this year. Oh how different Christmas presents will be this year! Anyway, I am going to TRY to be more diligent about updating my blog. I decided to start fresh with a brand new blog, with a brand new name, in hopes of keeping up with this next chapter in our lives. Justin and I both are so excited to set out on this journey and we know that God is in complete control of it all! Thanks for reading!!
