Baby's first pictures!

Here is our little bundle of joy! Good luck trying to figure out what is what in these pictures. :) I went to the doctor today and everything looks fine, right on schedule, 11 weeks along! As my doctor was trying to take these pictures, the baby was squirming around like crazy. It was so cool to watch. I've lost about 9 pounds because I haven't really felt like eating being sick and all, I was just eating what I could. Ricky couldn't get off work to go with me. He's a very proud Daddy anyway. We're looking forward for the next appointment in a month where we get to hear the heartbeat and the following month is the official ultrasound and find out the sex of the baby. We don't care if it's a boy or girl, just that it's healthy. Which so far it is. It is more real now that we have pictures. I was sick for most of the week last week, so I'm hoping I'm on the upswing of it all. I'm feeling more normal this week. I hope to feel it kicking in the next few weeks. I'll keep you posted on the progress. Enjoy!

GUESS WHAT!!

Yes, it has finally happened, WE ARE PREGNANT! I'll be 11 weeks along on Sunday. We are VERY excited and can't wait to welcome our little one on May 10th (Mother's Day) or whenever the baby decides to make an appearance. My due date is 12 days after my birthday and 12 days before Ricky's. We don't care if it's a boy or girl, we just want a healthy baby.

We haven't bought anything for the baby yet, we are wanting to find out the gender before buying too much. Ricky's looking forward to registering, he had fun registering for our wedding.

I'm feeling ok, just some mild "morning sickness". More like morning, afternoon, or evening. I'm just trying to eat what I can.

I'm currently not working, which is actually a good thing right now. The company I worked for about a total of 5 years closed it's doors on October 8th. I've filed for unemployment and I can get on Ricky's insurance without interuption at Arvest Bank. I'm actually hoping to get my jewelry business off and running. I've been wanting to do it full time, especially when we started having kids. So what better time than the present? Ricky is going to stick it out at Arvest. He's not thrilled about going to work every day and talking to upset customers and taking phone calls, but will do it for the family. Hopefully, before too long, he will be able to apply for a different department there at Arvest.

That's what's new with us. Hope everyone else is doing well. We'd love to hear from you. Love you all! I hope to get pictures posted as I get bigger, I'm not really showing right now, just getting through the "sick" stage.
