Yet another change

I was certainly correct when I had the feeling that this year was going to be the year of changes. However, this is possibly the best change ever!

We're having a BABY!!!!!

I found out on March 4th that I was pregnant, and Brett left home on March 3rd for a month long drill! Longest month of my life. I couldn't (wouldn't) tell him until he got home on March 31st. I wanted him to be the first to know, besides doctors, but that didn't work out to well. I started to get really sick and so my 2 bosses at work found out. I had a little freak out and so Bryan & Meredith Murdock found out because Bryan gave me a blessing. Then I couldn't keep it from my Mom, especially when I saw her the day I first heard the baby's heartbeat and got the first pictures. I also told Jessica Payne, well because it's Jessica.

I was really nervous to tell Brett, however. Before he left I hinted at having a baby and from his reaction I was just nervous. So that whole month I kept trying to think of ways to tell him and praying that he would somehow be prepared. I was able to record the heartbeat and I had the pictures. I also found a onesie online that you could customize, so I got the army fabric with the saying "Daddy's Little Soldier" on the front. Between those three I was thinking of putting a present together. On the day Brett came home I just sat him down and said "Guess what?" and sure enough he guessed it. My prayers were answered. So while he was processing the fact I showed him the other items. We are both very excited.

My due date is November 3rd, so that makes me at 20 weeks now. Half way through!! The first trimester was pretty rough. I definitely had morning sickness every morning and just felt awful the rest of the day. Also, SO TIRED! Never in my life have I been this tired and it's a different kind of tired. But then 2nd trimester hit and Hallelujah! I feel so much better, though I still get pretty tired by the end of the work day.

I bet you are wondering if we know the gender. Well, we are having a BOY!! So excited about this, especially Brett! :) Haven't decided on a name yet, but we will.

I'm getting bigger each day, though I'm still told that I don't look pregnant, but my goodness do I feel it. Hopefully I can get some pictures posted soon.
