So here goes...

Ok so this is my first blog post! I am going to try and keep this up as a way for far away relatives to keep track of what's going on with us.

So here goes...guess what?! We are having a baby!!! I have waited sooo long to say that (although I'm glad we did wait this long, we both feel ready now.) I am currently 9wks and due mid-October. Here is baby's first picture...

I have got to thank my Mom for the good genes because I have not had any morning sickness! The only two things I've noticed are that I'm totally exhausted every day and food, most days, doesn't sound very good. JC has been such a trooper (not that I ever doubted he would be) but he will make me my own dinner when I don't/can't eat what he made the first time around. I am so lucky to have him!

In other news, our dog Chester had a house guest all week. Shelton is a yellow lab puppy who belongs to some friends of ours. They are vacationing and I knew Chester would love to have a playmate. It was a great plan until Chester cut his foot Monday night right as we were getting ready for bed. So off to the pet ER we go! Hours go by and a small fortune later we are on our way home. We were told he needed to stay off of his foot as much as possible, but with a puppy in the house that's not so easy. Shelton goes home tomorrow and Chester can get some rest but I so wanted him to have a great time but instead he's on pain meds and antibiotics wearing a boot on one foot...poor poochy!

Ok, enough for now. I really should get back to work!
