Thank You?

Every now and then I have this nagging feeling in my mind. Do you know what that is? It's my brain saying: "Nichole, people are still waiting to be thanked for the wonderful, thoughtful, and kind gifts they sent for your wedding". Then I feel cruddy. I so want to do the proper and grateful thing and send out those cards! I had no idea how DIFFICULT it would be. Do you know how many anonymous gifts we received? TOO MANY. I'm sure the sender didn't mean for that to happen--just did. Will target tell me who they are? NO. (Side note: I've had it up to here with target's nasty customer service.) Plus, I've been back 'n forth on whether I want to put a wedding picture on the card, go plain jane, or think up some other concoction.

I'm going to do it people. In fact my box filled with every card and all of the neat lists that were made for us of who gave what is very conveniently located. Better late than never? YES! By the way, we really are both so grateful. Not just because of the neat gifts we got to play with, but, it just felt nice to have so many people come to our wedding and/or send something that let us know they thought of us at such a very special time. Thank you, love you (probably).

Beautiful Sounds

Just a humble little update for everyone.

Seventeen weeks! Unbelievable...

  We heard this little baby's heart beat today. I don't think I need to even explain what a relief it is to hear this word out of your midwife's mouth: normal. I'm an emotional sap lately--oh, hormones :). So I feel an overwhelming type of joy when I hear evidence that this little thing is still okay in there. When the only proof I have day in and day out are my growing belly, constant insatiable hunger, ruthless fatigue, and the headache that comes and goes well then I'd say a heartbeat is pretty intangible evidence. 

 In just a few short weeks we get the big ultrasound! We are ecstatic to find out if we have a boy baby coming or a girl baby! Bet your bum there will be a new blog post! :)

 JJ got a second job this week. We are really grateful. I am particularly grateful that my husband is so sweet and caring. He also aims so high--I really, really appreciate that! Also, he's so handsome. :)

 We are searching high and low for the best place to live! It gets a little discouraging sometimes. We are definitely ready for some changes here! Send positive thoughts our way and, of course, any suggestions if you're in the area!

Anxiously Waiting...

Taking all online classes has proven troublesome for me. Though, I still stand by this decision. Being able to go to class in my jammy's makes for really, really, really lazy days. Especially since while I'm working in my jammy's all day the fact that there is a baby in my belly whose gender is still unknown is crossing my mind at least 10 times a day. Ser.I.Ous.Ly!

If I felt like uploading pictures, resizing them, and putting them in a pretty order I would be making a blog to tell everyone about our trip to Hawaii. But, it's like I said--LaZy. It will come when I get an unrealistic momentary surge of energy. :) Don't worry.

I'll be 17 weeks on Saturday. That means just 3 weeks until 20 weeks which means we get to find out the sex of this baby which is really, really, really a big deal.

Really. It is.
