Hey Everyone!!
I know it's been a few weeks since I've posted, so I want to update you. Things are going really well these days. I have a lot more energy, not sick, and food is tasting much better! My belly seems to be growing, although I'm not partial to taking any photos yet. I wonder if I will ever be? I've told myself that next week I will definitely take a photo because we're finding out the gender of our little baby! We couldn't be more excited. I hope he/she cooperates and doesn't wiggle around too much. Mom and Dad are coming down for the ultrasound, so hopefully everything will go as planned and we'll be able to see the goods:)
I'm very happy to be feeling well now. Shawn and I have decided to plant a garden this year (a big task for a pregnant lady, but I'm super excited about it). We've started our seeds indoors and will move them outside around Easter. I really want Shawn and his buddies to construct a planter for me that's on legs so I won't have to bend over in the heat. Also, we'll be able to take the containers with us for use next year! We're starting with easy to grow plants: squash, zucchini, cucumbers, lettuce, roma tomatoes, and 3 types of peppers! (Hopefully we'll have some killer homemade salsa!) We're also going to have a big herb garden this year, including basil, cilantro, rosemary, and oregano---I might be forgetting one! I hope that our garden will keep me occupied and focused on something other than worrying:) I'll post photos soon of the plants' progress.
We're very excited that Shawn's school is progressing quickly. I've started a countdown on my phone and am so pleased that Shawn has 130 days left of school (roughly, 4 months). Man, this year has flown by!! Needless to say, I am looking forward to the day when I pack up my desk and enter the world of "stay at home mommy" :) Eventually, I will pick up photography again, I believe. But for a little bit, I'm gonna focus on little Charlie and enjoy precious time together.
Thanks for all your prayers! Keep praying about our future-where God would have us be for Shawn's fellowship. Hopefully we'll know in April (I seriously hope they aren't going to make us wait til May to find out where we're going. I don't think I can be patient that long!)
I'll update the blog next week with the ultrasound photos, Lord willing!! Pray for little Charlie and his/her development:) We appreciate it!

13 Weeks
Hey all!
I haven't updated our blog in a couple of weeks, so I thought I would just give you a little update. We went to the doctor yesterday and everything looks good! We got to hear our little munch's heartbeat!! The doctor said it's around 150-160bpm, so it's nice and strong:) We scheduled our early gender determination for April 2nd! Hopefully, little baby will cooperate. The biggest news is that I'm pretty sure I felt little Charlie move today! I know that it's pretty early to feel movement, but the American Pregnancy Association does say that moms can first feel movement anywhere between 13-18 weeks:) It shocked me cause I felt like the baby just ran and head-butted my uterus! Haha!! He or she must be VERY active!
As for the sickness and such, everything has gotten so much better. I'm almost out of my 1st trimester, so hopefully the sickness will be gone with it! I have a lot more energy now and am also hungrier (haha)! Shawn is doing well. He's just working really hard in school. We are both really thankful that he's going to have a nice long Spring break starting tomorrow:) Next week we're gonna be traveling to TN for our 2nd anniversary trip. Who knew that on our 2nd anniversary, I'd be all pregnant and what not?! Hopefully we'll have a great, relaxing trip. I'm really looking forward to getting a much needed break from the 7am-5:30 schedule I've had. I know my schedule will be much worse when I'm a mommy, but at least I'll be doing something that I love!!
Hope to be writing very soon to tell you if the baby's gonna be Charlie or Charley (Charleigh!) Love you all!
Jac and baby :)
