This year is going to be full of exciting firsts! Lance and I are thrilled to announce that we are going to have a little one in July! I'm officially due July 24th, this is actually the day we had our first date almost 4 years ago!
We are thrilled to be parents and are so excited to meet our little one! We still don't know the sex of the baby but we will be finding out in a month or so.
Everyone asks me what I would prefer- a boy or a girl- I always feel guilty answering. I will be thrilled no matter what it decides to come out as ;) However, I would really love a little boy to start out with. Growing up the eldest of 3 kids I have always dreamed of having an older brother. But don't get me wrong, if its a girl I will love it just as much. Lance isn't scared to yell at the top of lungs that he wants a little boy. He also knows that if it is a girl... he is going to go broke!
Pregnancy so far has been pretty smooth sailing. A small dose of morning sickness once in a while, normal aches and pains, normal emotions.....ok not smooth sailing with the emotions part! I have been the most emotional person ever (just ask Lance). I can't even watch TV without sobbing, not just a couple tears, full blown hysterics. Its not over sad stuff either...anything happy gets me going to the point where I'm curled up in a ball with the covers over my face bawling. We made the mistake of watching "17 Miracles" last night and ended up pausing it what seemed like every 10 minuets so I could calm down. Lance just sits there and laughs the entire time because I will even admit how ridiculous I am acting!
Other than that all is pretty well and normal! I've only had a few cravings and MANY food aversions. So far I've been craving Arby's beef and cheddar melts, pickles, jalapenos, frozen burritos, Beto's (problem since I live a couple thousand miles away) and other stuff I can't really remember. But the aversions are the worst! I cannot even touch or smell chocolate. I used to love chocolate but ever sense I got pregnant I cannot even stand thinking about it, I also can't stand peanut butter any more which is a killer.
We will try and keep everyone updated on this new adventure and anything else that happens in between! We've been horrible about blogging but promise to do better! :)
