Well, I'm going on my 7th week and morning sickness hit pretty hard last week! But Ive learned to eat even though nothing taste good and then it will go away. I get weird food cravings all the time. A few days ago we were at walmart and I saw hot and spicy pork rinds, I had to have them! I ate half the bag walking home! Also, I like mustard but not a ton, now I want to put it on everything I eat! Not just a little for flavor but almost drown food in it!
We are thinking its a boy, yeah its to early to know but we all address the baby as he or him. Could that be a little sign? Watch us be wrong! We are so excited though, this is a huge blessing! I want to start buying things but I'm going to wait patiently until we know what we are having...Neacel Parker or Olivia Paige? My first doctors appointment is April 14th! Still seems forever away!
The apartment is still nice but we still haven't unpacked everything so its still a mess! I need to really focus on getting that done! We feed the ducks every once in a while and they have been cleaning the pool so I think that is going to open soon! How exciting!Warm weather is right around the corner!!!
I know I still haven't told about Vegas or put pictures up but we don't have a great internet connection at home so Ill be spending time at the library but I promise I haven't forgotten about them and do intend on getting them up soon!

Stomach flu.....?
So for 2 weeks now I haven't been feeling well. My stomach has had this weird stomach flu kind of feeling. I have been up all night, and full of energy, and constantly hungry but don't eat a ton! It's been really weird!
Well, last Friday I was running errands, and people kept asking me if I was pregnant. I kept saying no and going on with my day. I told Nick how tons of people had asked and he said "Crap, women know things like that!"
So after all the comments I was nervous and wanted to prove everyone wrong. So Saturday I ran to the dollar store to get packing tape, since we were in the middle of moving and saw they had a pregnancy test. I bought it since it was cheap... Well, I took the test, 1 line means no 2 lines means yes. Of course it's all pink at first, I come back like 15 seconds later and only see only one line, I take a deep breath close my eyes and say thank you. I open my eyes and crap there are 2 solid bright pink lines! Im thinking this isn't right, I mean I bought it for a dollar. Well I told Nick on our way to sign the lease for our apartment and well I couldn't have thought of a worse time. He was already stressed with moving and now the possibility of me being pregnant. So he said I should take another test Sunday to make sure. We told family that there was a possibility but not to get hopes up.
Sunday morning I took the other test, - ment no + means yes....easy enough. I take the test and only see the one line. Remembering last time I wait a little longer and here comes another solid pink line! Nick woke up later around noon and said "Are you still pregnant?" I said "yeah here is the test," he looks at me and says, "I should have slept longer."
So Nick and I are now expecting our first kid! And here I thought I had the stomach flu and that my body was having a hard time fighting it off! We are really excited, nervous and scared! It's a mix of everything still! I mean we weren't trying and didn't want to get pregnant till summer. But the Lord has other plans for us!
I'm so amazed with it all right now. Here we thought the baby is still basically nothing and well according to things online, Im about 5 weeks along, my baby looks like a little manatee and had nubs for arms and legs! I wanted to cry I couldn't believe that in 5 weeks that much has happened. Organs are forming and everything! It's changed my life already. Everything I eat or do is affecting this tiny sesame seed sized baby! Im going to be a mom, Im responsible for this child growing in me. I was really thinking the other day and was just amazed that the Lord trusts me with something so tiny and important.
Nick is being wonderful too, we went grocery shopping the other night and he got only healthy food. He said he wants me and the baby to be healthy and taken care of. We are going for walks every evening and eating healthy! The baby and I are so lucky to have such a wonderful husband/dad in our lives. I think we are both still in shock but already I'm impatient to find out if its a girl or boy; to feel the baby move around and kick; to see pictures...
If you have any advice you want to give, please give it. We have no idea what we are doing. I've talked to some people and they have said I've only had one but I can give advice if you want. Well, I've never been pregnant so any advice is better than me guessing! I'm so nervous but at the same time this is going to be the longest wait of my life!

I have a ton to catch up on!
So I'm really sorry that I haven't posted anything in forever. I really have no excuse just being lazy I guess. But a super quick catch up... February, Nick and I went to Vegas for my birthday/Valentines; we had a total blast. I took tons of pictures so Im going to put a slide show up here really soon, I promise. On the way there we passed this lady that was on the side of the road and seemed to be kind of upset. So Nick pulled over to help her and she waved like she was fine or something. Nick still got out of the car to make sure everything was ok and she said she just had to pull over because she had a really big burp that she had to get out!!!
That was the perfect way to start out our trip. We were there for 4 days and just loved it. It was amazing there, I can't wait to go back! But since I'm writing all this in a hurry I can't say much more.
Well as some of you know Nick and I have been looking for our own little home for a while; we spent all of February searching and found nothing great. Well about 2 weeks ago we found a place. Its on 47th south about about 9th east. It's a wonderful place, which is the reason this post is short and not full of details. We are moving in TODAY! We are really, really excited!
Our first little home; its so cute! But I promise to write more soon, but I really need to finish packing and everything!
