20 Weeks down...

(P.S. Those Teddy Grahams in the background save my life!)

A bit of a shout out...

I’ve thought about all the things I can blog about, and it always comes back to one thing…errr person, Andrew. I just cannot explain enough in words the incredible support system this man brings to my life. I thought that life would be completely blissful the moment we found out we were pregnant, and believe me, that moment was monumental but then I hit six weeks. My first trimester was anything but a breeze and I can’t imagine what it would have been like if I hadn’t had Andrew. With throwing up, on average, 30 times a day, Andrew was pulling my hair back at the toilet seat, and then cleaning up anything that happened to miss the toilet. (Sorry about the graphics) Anyway, as some of you know, I lost 10 pounds at my first prenatal checkup, and continued to decline losing another 6 pounds at my second prenatal checkup Wow right? Well that is what the doctors thought too, and after an entire month of complete agony, my doctor decided if I hadn’t gained one pound by the next visit I was to be put on an IV to administer my body the nutrients it needed. So needless to say, Andrew and I worked very hard to get that one pound to stick, and it did. At my last doctor appointment, I gained 1.6 pounds back from the previous 16 that I had lost. My point is, to me it has all been worth it. Although it is probably true, I have completely forgotten how miserable it was. Having Andrew here with me the entire way has been nothing but an enormous blessing. Just the thought that out Little Peanut on the way is being brought into this world because of the love that Andy and I share gives me such great joy to be a parent. I am so excited for the incredible events that we are experiencing right now, and I am even more excited to meet our Little Peanut. I couldn’t have asked for a better husband, literally. He was meant for me, and I totally believe it…we both lived on American Beauty people. But really, I couldn’t give him enough “thank-you’s” to make up for all the sacrifice and service he has done for me. So this one is a shout out to my incredible husband, I love you; you are going to be an amazing dad. I just can’t even wait. Sorry everyone for the cheesiness, but I just couldn’t hold back this time.

Oh and a little more special news about my man…

HE RECEIVED HIS FIRST ACCEPTANCE TO DENTAL SCHOOL!!

To put in perspective what he has been through the last year would take me hours to write, so in a nutshell…there were a little over 13,000 applicants in the United States this year, but there are only 4,200 seats available. Therefore, they turned away at least 8,800 applicants this year. So we are still celebrating at our house.
