New post...coming soon new person!!

I am terrible at this thing...but hopefully I will be better in the next little while since I actually have something to blog about besides my dog. Zachary and I are having a baby!!! We are so excited and I am due on October 14th. Almost 15 weeks already!

I have been feeling pretty good...not much morning sickness, just headaches and a few weird things that I never knew came from pregnancy. Examples...swollen sore gums, which are better now thanks to my doctor, and bad vision. Hormones do some crazy stuff! Also, I don't really crave things too often, but everything I do crave CAN'T be found here!! It is really rough...let's just say I ate good over the 2 week spring break and smuggled 2 boxes of Cheez-its back in my luggage!!

Anyways, we found out Feb. 10th and didn't tell our family until we went back to Texas for spring break on March 27th. It was a long time to keep it a secret but so worth it to tell in person! Everything is normal and moving right along. Obviously we just can't wait to find out the sex! And we already know...and are almost 100% set in...names for either gender. It wasn't hard for us. We agreed quite easily and both respected each others vetos...I guess I just have a super fab husband!!

My sister is about to pop! Anytime in the next week, we will be meeting our niece Emma. Well, I will...Zach has to stay here for stupid school! I am so excited that our babies will only be about 5 months apart...they are gonna be such little buddies!!

I will try to update more often and upload our ultrasound pictures soon. P.S. We are loving the medical care here...so affordable, such great doctors, easy to get appointments (no needing to call months in advance), and we can have the baby at an amazing new hospital in a suite for such a good price I shouldn't even say!! All without insurance! Just wanting to put in a little plug for one of the things that has impressed me here.Just so this isn't a boring post without pictures. (I didn't even take out my camera once in Texas...shame on me!) This is me at 8 weeks...just to show what we were starting with. Haven't taken anymore since then cause I haven't felt that it is noticeable, much more than just a little fat! Seems to be growing more this week...so maybe I will go for a picture. And for the record...after seeing my sister grow, I am almost more worried about how big my butt is gonna get than my belly! Love you Ashley!!
