Our Family Keeps Expanding!



Yes! I am pregnant! Brian and I were planning on getting pregnant this year and originally decided we would start trying in June. Well, we got a little ansy and one night just thought let's just do it! So here we are 17 weeks later....very happy and pregnant! I am still in awe and keep wondering "Am i really pregnant or am I just making this up?"
I really have been very fortunate, I have not really been that sick. I get nauseated, but happy to say, I have not thrown up. I feel like all I do is Eat! If I eat every 2-3 hours it helps with the nausea but nothing really ever sounds good and I don't really feel like eating but I know that I need to and that it will make me feel better. I seriously feel like all I do is eat!

I know that I really don't have room to complain. So many people have it far worse than I have. Brian and I were able to hear the baby's heartbeat today! The doctor said it was right where it should be so that is comforting. I have also started to feel the baby mave this last week! It is really light and just feels like little taps right now, but it is so exciting to feel that there really is a baby in there! I am also starting to show quite a bit (to me at least) Everyone I see keeps saying "oh my gosh! You aren't even showing yet." I can no longer fit in my clothes though so I know I am not making it up. Well, I will try to do better with updating my blog now that I have something fun to blog about.

My new little companion!



Brian and I just got a new little puppy, Memorial weekend. WE went to look at the cats and ended up getting a dog! She is a little nine-week-old Shiranian (a cross between a shitzu and a pomeranian). Right now, she's about three pounds, and they say she should only get to be about 7-10 pounds.
She is a lot of fun, but a lot of work too. Right now we wake up twice a night to take her out to go potty. She wears a diaper while in the house to reduce the amount of accidents. We had no idea what to name her so my little neice, Avalee, did the honors. I told her we were thinking about getting a puppy and asked her what we should name her. She said "Peanut" and well, it stuck. Both Brian and I really liked it and it really fit her well. So Peanut is the newest addition to our family!
