And now...Jose and I are excited to announce that we will be welcoming a new member to the family in June 2011. I am 15 weeks pregnant with our first child and we couldn't be happier! The first trimester was very difficult for me. I was nauseous nearly the whole time and had aversions to many foods, causing me to lose weight. Although I didn't actually throw up much, I just didn't want to eat a lot and felt miserable the whole time. Now with the second trimester in full swing, we were hopeful that my symptoms would ease up, but the nausea and gas has still been in full swing, and I've been throwing up more too. It didn't help that I was sick after Thanksgiving either with the flu.
Here I am at 15 weeks pregnant! The baby is the size of an apple! If you look closely you can see a small belly starting to show!
But it will all be worth it when we have our little bundle of joy with us in June! My midwife says the baby is doing well and is strong and we have another appointment this coming Tuesday, so we are hoping and praying for more good reports from the midwife! We have an appointment on December 28th to get our first fetal ultrasound. At that point I will be 2 days away from 17 weeks. We are excited to get a glimpse of our baby and want to make sure that he or she is growing and developing properly. We are also anxious because we should be able to see if the baby is a boy or a girl!
We are so thankful for all that we have been blessed with! We have so many opportunities and are surrounded by wonderful friends and family! It's sometimes hard not to get caught up in the day to day trials and tribulations of everyday life. It's especially nice this time of year to reflect on the year that has gone by and realize how blessed we really are. We are thankful everyday for our lives together, all the freedoms we have and the wonderful blessings God has bestowed upon us. And we can't wait to meet our latest blessing! Here's to 2011! Can't wait!
