Gerber Baby on the way

So...around a month ago, Justin and I found out we were having a first baby. Cue the flood of emotion from happy to total fear! All of which were overwhelming, but regardless of the surprise in the situation, we both had our own sense of excitement moreso than fear. It's been a rough and rocky road since then....full of roaster coaster butterfly movement from our little bean.

Before I even got pregnant, I knew I was going to be sick. I had prayed that it wouldn't happen, but I knew it would. Geez, my mom survived 9 months of sickness...and now I just pray that this constant nausea will go away (the sooner the better). My plethora of visits to the restroom have been lots of fun (can you feel the sarcasm!). For the most part, I was unable to function in my daily life b/c the sickness had taken over. After weeks of missing work and missing actually living, I couldn't take it anymore...and neither could Justin b/c eventhough he loves running to get me food, he loves me healthy more. So, we called our doctor and begged him to give me something. The first thing didn't work...the 2nd did...THANK GOD! It's been a wonder pill and I'm finally resembling myself again...YAY!

So, here we are...10 weeks into our journey. Still afraid, but more happy than anything else. Justin has been WONDERFUL and I couldn't ask for a better husband or best friend. This whole thing has made me realize how much I love him and how much he truly loves me. It's a beautiful thing and now we look forward to being the absolute parents we can be. I feel so blessed that I'm not doing this alone and that I have the perfect partner in crime :0) Thank you Justin for being the love of my life and the absolute most amazing dad-to-be there could ever be.

Stay tuned for our first ultrasound picture...we see doctor on Thursday! Pray for 2 arms and 2 legs and an alien like appearance :)
