Now, this blog is new and I don't even think anyone really reads it, so I am going to use it more as a tool to chronicle our lives.
Alot has happened since my last post...which was over a month ago. Jason's knee has been feeling much better - he is walking without limping and is able to walk up and down the stairs with no problems!! The doctor said he should be as good as new in another few weeks.
The news about his knee is really good news. He is going to be busier than ever over the next several months becuase we have a few projects (laying tile in the foyer, removing the carpet in the dining room and finishing the hardwood that is underneath...) around the house that we want to get done before the end of the year. I have a feeling that next year is going to be pretty darn busy and so we won't have the time to do some of this stuff. Sure there are little things that we can get done, but we want to try and knock some of these bigger projects out of the way.
Why the end of the year, you ask?? Well, that would be because we are expecting our first child in January!!! Yes, that is correct. Jason and I are going to have a baby! I am due January 9th, 2012. We are elated and very, very excited. That is the main reason that I havn't written a blog post (or done much of anything) over the past 4-6 weeks since we found out. I have been absolutely drained of any energy and usually just pass out after I get home from work. We had our first sonogram a couple of weeks ago and saw the hearbeat, which was an incredible moment. I mean, I knew I was pregnant before that appointment, but seeing that on the screen made it sooo real. It really was amazing...Thank God for that tiny little heart that was beating 148 times a minute!!
Jason as been great with doing a lot of stuff around the house, including the cooking and cleaning. (** Note - Jason has always been good with cleaning and helping...it's the new cooking skill that he is doing really well with!) :)
There is so much to think about when having a child...good grief! I have already talked with several cousins and friends who have kids and my brain is already overloaded! Don't get me wrong, it is awesome to have these women as resources who can help us with some decisions over the next few months, but geesh! My cousin Teresa (and Maid of Honor in my wedding) sent me the book Baby Bargains and it arrived yeserday with a super sweet little card. It just stinks that she is all the way in Knoxville, TN and so I probably won't get to see her that much. Anyway...I was going through the book last night on the couch before I feel asleep and I think it will be really beneficial! There are tons of parent reviews and the authers give each product a grade (A-F) just like in school, so it should be pretty easy to use.
Well - I really am going to try and post more often so that we can have an online journal of these amazing 9 months. Oh - I did get a little pregnancy journal the other day which I need to start filling out before I forget things!!
Hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday!
