Sick and tired of being sick and tired

I have to say that, while I am excited about being pregnant, I'm not so excited at the morning (scratch that -- all day) sickness I have been experiencing. Things hadn't been too bad at first but about week six, I have had rough days almost every day. My mom tells me she was like this for 3 weeks with me and then it got much better, so I am hoping I will follow that trend (that would leave me with about 5 more days of this general crappiness).

Until then, I am open to suggestions for how anyone else survived it. I have heard the eat 2 crackers before you get out of bed idea and it works.....for about the first 1.5 hours. Any commentary is appreciated!

Well, now that all of the family has been notified, I can finally post about being pregnant. We've known for about 3 weeks now, and it has been fun to tell all of our family.


We found out at about 4 weeks. It's sad that my first "belly" pic already looks like there is something there. That is just a result of my laziness however. Still fun to think that it will only get bigger though and with a legitimate reason. :)


The weekend after we found out, we went to Tulsa to tell the majority of my family. Turns out that my little sister is pregnant and due the same day as me. Here is a pic of us with mom who is quite the stunned grandma-to-be. She certainly wasn't totally ready for one pregnancy, much less two, but says that she is excited about it.


Well, for now, that is all I really have to share. I am tired all the time and have had some pretty severe morning (all day) sickness for the last week. We are now 7 weeks in so hopefully there are only about 5 more weeks of feeling like this, or so I am told. I'll post more as it becomes known.

Ready for the Weekend!

I just have to say that I am excited baseball is back in season. As a matter of fact, we have tickets with Kevin's family to go to the game on Sunday. I'm really excited about it because I love the Ballpark in Arlington (FYI: that is what it will always be regardless of how many name changes it actually goes through) and the weather on Sunday is supposed to be beautiful so it should be a great time! Yeah for baseball!
