3 Months and Counting

Hey Family and Friends,
We've traveled to many wonderful places, experienced a lot together, but now we're ready for the one journey that will change our lives forever. That's right we're finally Pregnant!!! It seemed like we'd never get here but it's been well worth the wait. Nick and I are so ready to be parents and extend our little family by one. I am enjoying every single moment of this pregnancy through the good times and the bad.

We wanted to keep you updated on everything that is going on during our pregnancy. I am a little over three months now. Definitely sporting a pooch and already wearing maternity clothes. :) I will be posting pictures of myself monthly and include ultrasounds that I have thus far.

My sleeping habits were horrible, until I bought this wonderful pillow. Everyone should have a back n belly pillow. It is the most wonderful thing ever invented for pregnant women. This thing is almost as big as me. It is "u" shaped and very comfy. You can wrap yourself around it from the left or the right. I will definitely take a picture of it so you can get a better idea of what it looks like. I sometimes have to fight Nick for it. He likes to cuddle with it and loves it just as much as I do, but he does get a little jealous. He calls it my new boyfriend! :) Pregnant or not, everyone should have one.

I have had morning sickness throughout the past three months. I don't know why they call it "Morning Sickness" because I get it anytime of the day. It is getting a lot better though. I have become the pickiest eater, lost my appetite for a lot of my favorite foods and don't drink coffee anymore. Anyone who knows me knows I love my coffee, but the smell just makes me nauseous. Meat in general just grosses me out. The thought of a slab of meat with sides is just not appealing to me anymore. I try to eat VERY small amounts.

My biggest things to eat are fruits, veggies, salads, yogurt, cereal, granola bars, and soups...very light stuff. My first craving ever was for enchiladas. I knew it was a craving because I don't eat Mexican food that often. I grew up eating it throughout my childhood, so I can be kind of a snob when it comes to Mexican food. It has to be homemade from my Aunties in Lubbock. :) I sure wish they were here right now. ;) When I told my dad what I was craving, he told me that was not good news. LOL! Mexican Food is not the healthiest to be craving on a daily basis. However, I am eating unhealthy foods at times but in moderation. I don't really crave hamburgers, pizza or fried foods. I have to be in the mood for it. I did however let the baby have its very first hot dog ever from Weinersnitzel. (Not sure if I spelled that right.) That is my favorite place in the world. And yes the baby LOVED it! You have to have grown up around this place to really appreciate it. It is not just a hotdog like Nick seems to think it is. My peeps know what I am talking about! :) However, Nick knows how much I love their hotdogs and he will do anything to get me one. I also have a sour taste for lemons, pickles, you name it. If it is sour, I am all over it. :)

I'm starting to make a list of things I want to put on my registry. There is so much to think about. It can be very overwhelming at times, but very exciting as well. I can't really get into the details of decorating the room because I want to find out what we are having first. I do have ideas though. Nick doesn't want to find out, but I do. Don't worry I will win in the end. ;)

This is it for now, but I will keep you all informed of all the juicy details of "Our Pregnancy". Love you all!
