Nervous

Tomorrow I go back to the OBGYN for my regular check up. A lot has happened since then and I will have to rehash most of it since I doubt they have the paperwork. And they always want to hear it from you anyways. Not looking forward to it at all. We are still trying to figure out what we are going to do if we don't get pregnant in the next few months on our own. I want to pursue IUI but I don't know if I can handle the emotional aspect that comes with it. Plus the cost. I know the cost isn't horrible but still. We will see what happens I guess. Still a few months to decide and hope and pray that we don't have to.

I'm glad my work is closed tomorrow but I would be off anyways. Ben's birthday is on Friday so I'm going to take it off instead of getting Tuesday off for my make up day off work. I have no idea what he wants for his birthday dinner so I'm sure it will be last minute. I think instead of getting him a gift, I am going to book us a trip to Amish Country  in May to get away for the weekend. I'm sure he will enjoy that.

The baby is cute as ever! I'm planning on doing a full update after her 18 month well baby visit next week. She still isn't saying many words (which worries me) but we have taken the step of taking her binky away during the day. She still has it for her naps or if we are in public and she is super whiny. She is doing ok as long as she doesn't see it. Full update to come next week!

The Big News

So I was supposed to come back over week ago and put this up but I didn't - opps! Our big news is we are pregnant!!! We couldn't be more excited. We did find out in December (at the doctors office after I thought I had some kind of stomach bug!) but we didn't want to announce until we had been to the doctors and had our first ultrasound. I'm really excited about it and so is Ben. Our families are happy becuase it is the first grandchild for both of our parents. I've been feeling much better lately too...I was really sick in December and the beginning of January. But I'm doing much better now but I am still sleeping a lot. I get so tired around 9 pm so I don't stay up much later than that but that's ok! :) Here is our first ultrasound of our little one!


Bens birthday was on Jan. 20th and we went out to Olive Garden with my parents and his mom to celebrate. We had a good time and they came out with a cake and sang happy birthday to him! Then on Saturday we went out to a bar in the valley called Coopers and hung out with our friends Mel, Brian, Kyle and Liz. It was a good time. We left there about midnight and then my sister called and wanted us to come meet her and my mom in Montrose at Brubakers for a drink. So we went out there and meet them for a little bit. We didn't get home until 2 am (which was wayyyy past my bedtime!). But it was a good night and we had a good time celebrating Ben's 27th birthday!



Work is still going well. Just slowing down slightly now. We have started to catch up on a lot of stuff so it's going to but now I get bored some times! Next week we find out what our raises and bonuses are so I"m excited and nervous about that. We will see how it all goes! I am going to be travelling at the end of April and beginning of May to two different tradeshows. One is in Orlando and the other is in Nashville. I've never been to Nashville so I'm really excited to go there and I've never been to that show either so it should be a great time! It will be rough becuase it's two weekends in a row but then I will get to relax after that until the baby is born! I might try to go to one more some time in May but I'm not certain yet.

Well that's all for now! I will be updating after my next appt on Feb 8th (if not sooner!).
