The Baby...

Well, here is the first picture of our baby! I don't know how many people are really interested in seeing this, but I'm a proud first time mother...so there! :) We are in the 9th week and this has been a rough week. I just feel so weak all the time and I try to eat, but nothing sounds good, smells good or tastes good! It is driving me nuts! I go back to the doctor on the 19th.

You know, I always worried that my sisters would all be done having kids before I got started. All of my sisters have been pregnant at the same time as another sister at some point...and I didn't want to miss out on that. Well, I took too long! Now they are all done, but I have two friends who are both due around the same time! Yay! By the way...Staci...can we switch due dates?!

We are settling in to Kingwood just fine. We moved in on Saturday and so far, love it! The neighborhood is awesome. We have about 12 houses on the block and only 2 of them don't have kids! They range from 4 years old to 19 years old. Everyone we have met so far has been really nice.

Uncle Danny saved us! We had no gas for heat when we moved in. So, Uncle Danny let us come over and take warm showers on Saturday night. He even fed us Chilli! It was soo good! It was just what I needed on a day that I couldn't think of one thing that sounded good. He was my hero!! So, yes, Dana...I love having a dad look alike right around the corner!! :)

On Sunday we went to church with Winkle Danny (that is my dad's twin) at Kingwood Church of Christ. We really liked it there. One of Travis' friends from college, Jennifer (Roscoe sp?), was in our Bible class, so that was a nice reunion. We really enjoyed the teacher and it was a good thing because he was the preacher too! :)

I guess that is it for now. A lot of things are happening now, so I will be sure and keep everyone updated!! :)

I hear ya on the fatigue! Rest as much as you can right now b/c next time (when you have a toddler running around)...you won't get to rest! When I was pg with Brody I'd come home from work and crash on the couch until Mike got home. Then we'd have dinner and I'd fall asleep by 7 pm! lol. That's not happening these days!

As for switching due dates?!? No thanks ;) I think July 4th is a FUN due date!!!!

Who says we're all done???

I wondered about the "all done" thing until I just saw Dava Lynn's comment. I'm sure there will be more! & PLEASE keep posting things like ultrasound pics. Since I AM done, it's fun for me to follow the pregnancies of people I love!

Also, I think you saved Uncle Danny as well. He doesn't much enjoy being alone, so he was thrilled to have you guys over! Thanks for looking out for him!

The baby is sooo cute! :) Just kidding! I am sure he or she will be though! I am sure you could convince ONE of your sisters to pop out another one! That shouldnt be too tough!

I'm sorry JK, but your only hope of another sister being pregnant is Dava Lynn. The rest of us are DONE!!! NO going back on that. I'm jealous that you get to see Uncle Danny!
