Nothing new around here...
I started watching Evie again this week (her grandma was in town last week and took care of her), and have been working at the Pantry full swing once again. Surprisingly, I feel like I've got more energy now than I did all last month. Maybe I just needed stuff to do!
Bran and I have been renovating our house once again, making the bold decision to make our upstairs living area our bedroom. We work best in frantic spurts, so the night he proposed that we change our layout, the rooms were torn apart, the bed and a dresser was moved, the couch disassembled, and a big hole knocked into the wall were our future closet will be! I'm very excited, as our new bedroom is way bigger that our old one, and the old room will make a perfect nursery/kids room. We're going to build a little hallway upstairs so that we can get to the bathroom without having to go into the nursery. I'm so excited about getting it all set up, and about getting to arrange and organize my bedroom. I'll post pictures when there's something to see.
For the sake of those of you who are interested in me and my adventures out here in Idaho, and not just the fact that I'm pregnant, I'm going to try and mix up my posts a bit so that my blog doesn't feel like it was hit by a "Babies 'R' Us" truck.
You'll have to forgive the post from the past few weeks, though, because I'm so excited I couldn't help myself. And I don't mean to say I'm not going to post any more preggy updates (my mom and mother in law would kill me for that!) I'm just going to post about normal stuff, too.

Our first Prenatal Doctor's Visit
We went to the doctor yesterday morning for our first baby appointment, which went great. It was much different from the last time we visited Dr. Shearer - instead of handing me an article about miscarriage, etc. she gave me a folder full of info about having a baby, what the baby will look like as the weeks go by, and another sonogram picture. God has been so good to us!
Because I can't help but worry, I asked her what our chances of miscarriage are at this point, and she reassured me that although there is still a slight chance, it will go away almost completely by my next appointment at 12 weeks. Even though I know that chance and statistics have nothing to do with the health of my baby, and that God has everything to do with it, it was still comforting to hear that things are looking good.
I think it looks more like this than a baby:
Keep praying for the 3 of us!

It's good to throw up, it's good to throwup, it means baby's growing, it's good to throw up.....
I spent all day yesterday feeling just ick. Yes, "ick" is the very best way to describe it. Not miserable, not good, just ick. It didn't help that I was forcing myself not to nap, since I've been pretty much comatose for the past few days thanks to lots of travel and not lots of normal sleep. But nevertheless, I was able to stay up until *gasp* 10:30 last night when I happily fell right asleep. I woke up this morning feeling like a new woman.
I finally took my mom's advice and bought some saltine crackers to keep in my nightstand and have before I get up in the morning (the sodium and the food-in-the-stomache both help combat nausea). So when I woke up at 9, I ate a few crackers, then slowly got out of bed, fully expecting to feel like I had lost a battle with a mack truck all day. I was happy to find that after a bowl of cereal, some prenatal vitamins, and a nice hot shower, I was feeling like a million bucks.
I cleaned the house, made lunch for Bran, and was sitting on the front porch thinking about how I spent all day yesterday thinking I was going to puke when all of a sudden out of NOWHERE I thought to myself, "oh my gosh here it comes" I literally jumped off the porch, through the front door, straight into the bathroom and over the toilet. A few minutes later I was brushing my teeth for the second time this morning, and thinking that I was glad I puked before I ate my yummy Macaroni Grill lunch, and not after. That would have been such a waste of a good meal.

I'm Expecting!
Bran and I found out that I'm pregnant!!! We're so excited :)
Right now I'm about 7 weeks and 3 or 4 days along. We got to hear it's little heartbeat while we were in Maryland, which was so amazing. It is so good to know that it is healthy! I have my first official doctor's appointment on Tuesday, so I'll update then with more info!

I've been noticed!
Someone from CSNrugs.com noticed my blog and want me to do a review of one of their rugs! I'm super excited, especially since I've been looking for a rug to put in my entryway. Now I just have to pick out which one I want, and let them know - how awesome is that!
So I need some suggestions... I have light wood floor and red walls in the entryway, and I'm not sure which rug I should pick. It has to be $55 or less, and the size should be about 2' by 4'. Check out their site and tell me if you have any suggestions!
