News!

Well, the cat is finally out of the bag...we are expecting! I will repeat here what I told my extended family. Here are some FAQs:

1. Was this planned? - Yes, we're accountants, we plan EVERYTHING.
2. When is the due date? - The first ultrasound said July 7, the dr. said June 30, we'll split the difference and say July 4. (For those who haven't done the math, that makes me 11 weeks along at this point.)
   
3. Are you going to find out what you're having? - Yes, see #1 above.
4. How have you been feeling? - Very very sick. The morning sickness started on the cruise (for those of you that I told I had a good time on the cruise, I apologize for lying to you...I did not have a nice time). It's not confined to the morning either but fortunately I have some lovely medicine that makes me feel less like I want to throw up. :)
   

It's been hard to keep it a secret this long but we just wanted to be sure everything was going OK. We had our second doctor appointment today and the heartbeat was 176 so that is good news.

I don't have any pictures to share. I took the home test at 2:30 a.m. (because that's when I was up going to the bathroom ANYWAY), saw that it was positive, hopped back in bed, told Nathan "it's positive" and promptly fell back asleep (which is not hard for me to do these days). Nathan, on the other hand, was evidently awake for some time after that. Oops. :) So, I did not take a picture of that event. There's no bump yet (at least not one that's caused by a baby) so no pictures of that either. Boring, I know.

In other really random news, I'm doing some fill-in work at the office and will be doing some outdoor inventory in a place that will require me to wear a hard hat and steel-toed boots. That's right, I now own steel-toed boots. Funny I know. I'm sure I'll look really sweet.

I think that's about all I have for now. Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas!
