1. Does anyone have a baby memory book to recommend? Should I wait to buy one until I know boy or girl? I just can't wait to start filling it out, but can't find one that I LOVE.

2. Go to womenoffaith.com and see if a conference is coming to a town near you! If so, do EVERYTHING you can to get there! I promise it will change your life and uplift your spirits like never before! I am so excited that me, my mom, and Julie are going in August. This will be my 3rd year to go.

Pregnancy Update

I finally had my first doctor's appointment last week! I LOVE my doctor and the ultrasound was AMAZING! Everything looks great so far and they moved my due date up a week to Nov. 5! The heart rate was 162, which my sis and friend Carrie swear that to be a girl. Otherwise, everyone else thinks it's boy. I don't really have a feeling one way or the other yet.

In case you haven't heard my cool story, I'll retell it. My dear teacher friend Che came to me in December right before Christmas break and said she needed to talk to me. I knew that she had special "connections" with a few people so immediately I got nervous! She pulls me to the side and starts crying and my heart sank. The only thing I could say was, "Is it bad?!" She shakes her head no and says I just have to let you know that you are going to be getting pregnant soon. It has been heavy on my heart and I had to tell you. I hope you are okay with that. Of course I started screaming and freaking out! Well I was preggo at beginning of February! It still gives me chills to think about it! Isn't that amazing!

I have been feeling pretty good. Not as much nausea as I had a few weeks ago (have yet to vomit!), although I do gag a lot. We can't wait to find out what it is! Our camera is broken, but we are going to get it fixed and I will post pics. Nothing to see yet (I'm 9 1/2 weeks), but have already put on several pounds! I am going to try to do better this month! : )

Oh- and I cannot forget sweet Jordan! He is the best daddy ever already! He is asking me all the time if I need a snack (he read to ask that in some book!) and always making sure I am comfortable and happy. He's the best! We couldn't be happier!
