We are expecting! (Finally, right Mom and Dad?)
Even I have to admit that Crystal had a waaaaay cuter picture for her announcement, but this one will have to get the job done without all the cuteness, because I don't have any really cute kids to make the announcement for me. :o) Maybe next time. ;-)
My official due date for the time being is September 30, but the doctor really thinks that will get pushed back to early- or mid-October. So far I've not been terribly sick. Most of my morning sickness doesn't show up until evening, but I've recently found a few ways to help me avoid some of that. Mostly, I've just been tiiiiiiired and not got much done around the house. Poor Arthur is almost out of clean clothes! All things considered, though, I've felt great. We are both very excited about this new addition to our lives.
I'm looking forward to talking babies with all of you. The doctor was mentioning that sometimes ultrasounds are not 100% accurate. I told her that, yes, I have learned that because I've had 2 cousins who were told the wrong gender from an ultrasound. She said, "Wow, that is a really high percentage. Most people don't know anyone that that's happened to." I explained that I have roughly 30 1st cousins, so I've been around a LOT of pregnant women, so really it's not such an enormous percentage after all.
I love how our family can interact so much and support each other and learn from each other. I've already learned some great and helpful tips from relatives that have helped me cope with morning sickness, weariness, and all sorts of other things. In fact, if anyone has any suggestions that were helpful to them during pregnancy, I'd love to hear them. Leave me a comment!
