We discovered that we are expecting in the middle of March.  We are eight weeks pregnant now with our due date November 16.  It’s an excitingly reserved time.

The pregnancy hasn’t been too bad thus far.  I’ve suffered very little morning sickness, but have had my bad days.  The one thing that is bothering me more than anything is the pain I’m experiencing in my lower back and hips.  If I could move as needed and walk when feeling up for it, I’m sure the pain would be less intense, but until the schedule changes at work, I’m pretty sure I’m stuck in this boat.  It’s going to be a long few more weeks until I hopefully feel relief with the settling of my hormones.

Family and friends are excited and most are hoping for a girl.  I can’t even come close to making a guess at the sex of this child, but hope for a healthy little one that is born on time.

That’s about it for now.  I’m headed to lounge out and catch American Idol and relax with my family.  Tomorrow marks a day off work for me, and oh so necessary.  Perhaps bubble bath’s and yummy cakes are in order…
