We're Expecting!!!

Many of you have found out by now that Ben and I are expecting our first baby. We found out in early September and we are very excited. We will be due on May 27th, 2010! Soo.. right now we are in the middle of our 7th week. We plan to utilize our blog to keep everyone updated on how the baby and we are doing. We will even post pictures!!

So.. this being our first update we are doing well. I (Christina) am overall feeling great. I have not experienced any morning sickness per se, however I have found myself getting nauseous when I am hungry. After I eat something the nauseousness goes away, but it is sometimes hard to figure out what to eat when I'm nauseous. It really isn't all that bad and now that I have learned how my body is operating I know what to expect and how to deal with it. Other than this I have just been very tired and wanting naps a lot. This is not bad on the weekends, but does pose problems during the week while I am at work. Some may or may not know that I started working four 10 hour days and have Monday's off, which is really nice. Please just pray with me during those 10 hour days that I would have the Lord's strength to get through each day.

We have had one doctor visit so far where they poked and probed me all around and took blood samples etc. to be sure that I am healthy and that the baby will be healthy. All of those tests came back normal. We go back on October 12th for our next appointment and first Ultrasound. We are very excited to see the baby and to check on whether everything is okay. We will update after that appointment with a picture from the ultrasound.
