Exciting News!

For those of you that haven't heard, Clay, Courtney and I are expecting a baby brother or sister in April. We are so excited with the news! It's been difficult waiting the first few weeks and keeping it a secret between me, Clay and the doctors office. We feel truly blessed that it happened so quickly and that I haven't had any sickness or medical issues. Everything looks good and the last 3 visits with the doctor I've been able to see the little bean on the monitor.

I have noticed that with this pregnancy I am more tired than with Courtney. I'm thinking it's just due to work and chasing a 2 1/2 year old around the house! By Friday night I am down for the count and become a hermit inside the house and take cat naps through out the day. I'm hoping in the next few weeks when I'm in my 2nd trimester my energy comes back. Exhaustion through the holidays will not be fun!

Courtney is kind of excited about the baby. At first she didn't really want to acknowledge it. I don't think it was out of spite. I just don't think she understands what is going on with her mommy. This past week when we asked what we should name the baby she proudly responded with Dora. Just this morning she patted my tummy and gave it a kiss. I suppose she's slowly coming around!

We'll find out in a few weeks if it's a boy or girl. Clay is convinced that it's a girl due to the Lubbock water curse. All of his college buddies have girls. However, deep down he's hoping that it's a boy to debunk the curse!

That's all we have here. I have some energy and should probably get some school work done before exhaustion sets in. Again.

Til next time....
