Twist my arm.....

So I finally decided to join the blogger club and make a blog for our family! Why not I guess right?
Here is what has been going on:
Jeff and I have been married for 4 months (yesterday) and we love our life together. Getting pregnant early in our marriage was something we both knew we wanted so here we are, 16 weeks and 2 days pregnant! We were so excited when we found out and it has just been a journey since then. My mom was sick through her entire 3 pregnancies so I prayed that I would be fortunate and not inherit those genes. I think luck passed me by this time. I've been pretty sick for several months, and now thank goodness, it is tapering off and giving me relief during the day-as long as I eat every hour or two! Night times are rough, but I have my sweet husband that takes care of me and helps as much as he can. I still hope that in a few more weeks I'll feel good again, we'll see. 
I made a break through and did my first exercising yesterday, just a bit of yoga at home but it was a huge step for me! I plan to go to the gym for yoga tomorrow, wish me luck!
All in all, I love being pregnant and it is very exciting. I felt the baby move (or flutter like a fish really) for the first time on Monday night, which was very exciting. Jeff is very anxious for the day when he'll be able to feel. 
We will have our ultra sound before we leave for our Christmas trip to Alabama, and we keep going back and forth between wanting to find out the gender and wanting to keep it a secret.... so we'll see what our ultimate decision is! Jared and Jeff call the baby a boy, I call it a girl and my whole family think it'll be a girl... we'll see. Maybe we should take bets ;)
For those of you who don't know, we are planning a home-birth and are really looking forward to it. It'll be hard for me to phase out from my favorite thing of going to the birth center and to births but I hear that my attention and interest may transition toward my baby around then ;) I'm sure I'll be very preoccupied once he/she enters the world. 
Well thats enough for now, here's a pic of my growing belly. Definitely starting to look prego, still a small belly but more than I'm used to! 
I dont take lots of pictures so we'll see how this blog turns out...
