I know I always say this, but we really have been busy and my chances to blog have been slim to none. I seriously think our family might be a little crazy with everything we are trying to do at one time, but oh well.
As you all know we are expecting. This pregnancy has been VERY different from Braxton. I believe I have had every symptom in the book and I am not lying. I am now 17 weeks along and still struggling through nausea and fatigue. I know it will be worth it, but not being able to keep things down isn't very fun. The one thing I absolutely cannot even think about is chicken. For some reason this baby hates it and even writing about it makes me nauseated. Its just so crazy to me because a lot of the things I really enjoy eating I no longer can and things that I use to hate I want. For example, milk has always been something I forced myself to have as a kid and now I want it all the time. I also am obsessed with eating cucumbers with salt right now. I swear I could eat them every night and most of the time I do. I have been feeling some movement from the baby and that really makes it all worth it. I seriously adore feeling this little life moving around inside me and knowing that I get the opportunity to do this again is just amazing.
We also welcomed a new puppy into our family. Braxton got a yellow lab for his Birthday. Again I know we are crazy you don't have to tell me. Braxton named the puppy Maize after Michigan. I of course tell everyone Maize is named after the color corn. Maize's full name is Special Agent Maize and Blue. Braxton is soo obsessed with his new puppy and constantly calls Maize his brother. Maize follows Braxton everywhere. They really have a great relationship started, but as many people know puppies are a lot of work and I think I forgot about that.
As we don't have enough on our plate we also have moved into our new home. It has been amazing, but soooo much work. Just getting everything organized and put together seems like a never ending task, especially when you are pregnant and you run out of energy as soon as you start the project. My wonderful husband keeps reminding me it will all get done, and know it will. Just wish it would happen soon so I can stop worrying about it.
It really is soo exciting to see how far Conrad and I have come. We are in a happy marriage that has stayed focused and we are now finally seeing the benefits. Its been a lot of work, but I am so proud of my husband and I. Now we are in our first home with our happy boy and another wonderful life on the way. September 26th we go for our ultrasound to found out what this little bug is. I really think its another little boy and Conrad feels is a little girl so we will just see whos right? We really don't care either way just want a happy healthy baby:)
