The big news

Pretty much everyone who reads this blog already knows, but here it is, official, in print:

I am pregnant!

We had our first ultrasound today and got to see the heartbeat and the little hands and feet. It was pretty amazing; I'm glad Jon was able to come. Everything looks 100% normal and healthy. And while we aren't out of the magical first-trimester danger zone (so keep good thoughts), we are out of the we-haven't-heard-the-heartbeat-yet zone. It's very exciting!
See the head at the top, and the little arm and leg? A very nice profile, I think. :)

Now I can post about how lousy I feel ALL the time, and how much I eat (not much), and how much I vomit (more than enough). Aren't you excited? I know I am. Only a few more weeks of this all-day morning sickness and I'll be normal again. Well, not normal, even more pregnant, but hopefully more normal in the eating and keeping it down department.

I'm just waking up from a nap (my most favorite afternoon activity) so my brain is still a bit foggy. I will write more later.

Goody, now I can tell you all the horror birth stories I heard when I was pregnant with Grace. Just kidding.

Well I guess you know that that "cold" a few weeks ago wasn't really a cold.
Congratulations! Please if you need anything let me know. Maybe I can bring some freezer meals over sometime. Just let me know.
We're trying to sell our place so that adds to the chaos. Just wait the fun has just begun and I do hope that you get over the vomit-- I was never that lucky but it paid off with healthy cute kids
