Surprise!



Well, it's officially announced. Erik and I are having a baby!!!!! This picture shows the 6th - 7th week of pregnancy which is about where I am now. (It's not my baby in the above picture, my baby is much cuter I assure you).

So I am totally freaking out. It hasn't even hit me yet. Well except for the hot flashes (am I having menopause???), the heightened sense of smell (I almost barfed when I smelled ciggarettes in Seattle today), the constant hunger (even 3 pieces of pizza couldn't satisfy me last night), and of course the not sleeping (I am WAY too excited).

Erik seems pretty happy. I think he was expecting it to happen later, and not so soon. We only just stopped birth control 3 months ago. That was quick!

All I can think is that I hope and pray the baby is going to be healthy. It's weird how I'm already thinking like a mom. Like I don't care about anything else as long as I know he/she is born healthy. My biggest fear is something going wrong.

But I won't dwell on that. I am very blessed to have a child growing inside of me right now, and I can't wait to start showing and be all cute and pregnant. Ok, I'll be fat and I'll probably waddle, but I can't look at it that way!!

So much for losing 15 lbs. Now we know why it wasn't working....

HIJACK

This post is not coming to you VIA Jennifer. This is her husband, Erik. I decided to hijack her blog (ah...the things you can do when in possession of another's password) and tell her how I feel about her. This will probably not be posted for long, I am sure as soon as she sees it she will remove it. HERE GOES! Jennifer, my dear, I love you oh so very much. On Monday is our 1 year anniversary! A whole year! That may not seem like much, but my oh my it has flown by quickly. Since you are a relative young'un that year actually represents around 4.76% of your entire lifespan(thus far). I still keep my eye out for things that represent 'US'. Who can forget the 'EJ' Truck? I have never stopped looking for, nor noting 28s as they pop up all over the place. I notice all of the little things you do. I notice the little faces you make. I notice the little noises you make. I notice the slight shifting of your posture in response to my incessant joking. This face was made...

One Month Old

Tyler turned one month old on Friday! He has grown and changed a lot just in the last couple of weeks. It is so much fun to watch him now that he is smiling and holding his head all the way up and clasping his hands together--interlaced as if in prayer. He is the cutest baby (ok, so I'm biased). We've had a hard week though (make that almost two weeks--I've been trying to publish this post for 5 days). The other day he screamed for almost 24 hours straight. Luckily Jaime came over to show me how to help relieve his gas and he calmed down for a couple of hours. He has been up all night, up all day and just kind of hard to deal with. Of course I still love him, which is weird. Usually its hard to love someone who deprives you of sleep. :) Update: Like I said, I have been trying to publish this for almost a week--I have had literally no time between work and a screaming baby and laundry and dishes and cooking and cleaning but alas I think I now have 5 minutes! Anyway, Ty...
