Update

Thanks everybody for all of your nice comments about baby Deceuster!  I'm just about 11 weeks and my doctor does the gender ultrasound at 15 weeks.  We are so excited to know!  1 more month and I can start buying stuff!  Can't wait!   Also, please take a minute and vote on our new poll to the left!

And here's a little update of our lives...

  • So I had all these plans to do lots of projects this summer.  I think on that list so far the only one I have completed is cleaned out our closet.  Morning sickness, or for me, all day sickness, has kind of put a halt to my plans.  But I am looking forward to the 2nd trimester where I can hopefully get a lot done. 
  • Last week we spent the 4th of July in California with Dan's family.  I was a little worried about the traveling part, but Unisom saved me!  It has really helped ease the nausea for me.  I don't know if I would have made it otherwise.  In California we went shopping, watched a parade, watched fireworks, BBQ'd, played mini golf and had a Jane by Design marathon (love that show... and got Dan's mom and sister also hooked... I highly recommend it if you have Netflix).  It was so nice to relax the whole week and not think once about cooking or cleaning!  
  • We got home last Saturday and Dan's mom and sister came with us.  They are spending the week with us.  His mom has also been cooking and cleaning here... she is helping me so much!  Being in the kitchen has been the hardest thing for me.  
  • Dan's brother Ethan & his wife & 2 kids moved down here this week.  We are so excited to live by family!  They live just a 2 minute drive away.  
  • We saw Hairspray at Tuacahn last night.  I was really worried about going (since it was in the 100s) and I didn't want to have to run out of the performance if I got sick, but once again, Unisom saved me!  That and a lot of prayers :).  We enjoyed the show and are really looking forward to seeing Aladdin in October.  
  • I have decided  to go back to my job in August!  I have been debating, but I feel like it's the right thing to do.  I talked to my principal and she told me I could work as long as I wanted.  My plan is to work just til Christmas break and then be done.  Then I'll have a good month to get things ready for baby.  I think working will help the time pass by more quickly.  I'll go crazy if I just sit around and wait for baby to come.  
  • Went swimming today!  It's been super hot here... 109 to be exact, it was so refreshing.  
  • Other than that I've just been resting and taking it easy.  So happy I get the summers off!

  1. First, I can't believe your doctor does the gender so early! You are so lucky, I was almost 21 weeks before I knew. We went down last weekend and saw Hairspray and Aladdin, super nervous about the heat, but managed. You will love Aladdin! I'm glad your going back to work. I'm going a little stir crazy right now, even though I love summer. I'm glad I'll be working the months up to the birth. Soooo sorry you have been so sick. Hope you start feeling better soon. Can't wait to find out if you are having a boy or girl. -Sorry for the novel.

  2. I love this update, I hope you keep them coming often! It's so fun to read about your experience with pregnancy and compare it to my own and others. I think you'll be glad to go back to work because it really does help the time go by faster. By the way, I definitely plan on watching Jane By Design next time there's nothing to watch on TV :)
