Merry Christmas!

To all of you who haven't heard the news yet, and who I just can't find the numbers for, I'm sorry. I promise it wasn't personal.

The great news is: I'm pregnant! We're about 11.5 weeks along right now, and yesterday we got to see the tiny little baby with it's nice 160 bpm heart rate.

Also, we're due on Christmas, which is fantastic. I don't think I could ask for a better present.

As far as how things are going--they're great! The baby looks good, and it's got a great heart beat, so we should be fine.

I've been good too--tired, and nauseous, but not actually sick. Thank goodness. Being a teacher, it would have been more than a little awkward for me to excuse myself in the middle of class to vomit. My pants are a bit tight at the moment, but I guess that just means I can do a little shopping!

All-in-all, we're thrilled. I'm a little nervous--especially as the reality of it all hits me a little harder, but still so excited. Thanks to everyone and their well-wishes so far. We're really looking forward to it!

  3. Congratulations! THat is so exciting. Yeah, and well, if you do have to leave to vomit, it'll be ok. I had to do that a few times while I was teaching. Seems strange, but it's better than doing it in class.

  5. Merry Christmas indeed! Congrats! I'm so excited for you both! I hope you start to feel better. I never experienced the need to throw up in class, but I ended up having to go to the bathroom quite frequently anyways. Oh the joys of a squished bladder! ;)

  12. Yay! I'm soooo excited for you guys! My sister-in-law was due Christmas Day last year (the baby came 4 days early). I agree that you couldn't have a better Christmas present. I'm glad that things are going well for baby and Nicole - that first ultrasound is such an exciting thing! It's YOUR baby! How great and wonderful!
