Gearing up for one exciting Christmas this year...

I know, it's barely even summer yet - what the heck am I doing thinking about CHRISTMAS for?

Read on, friends, read on.....

You see, I decided I pretty much have everything I want already in life. I have a fantastic hubby, a fun job, a cute house, (I don't have my coveted pony or karaoke machine, but I don't care anymore!). Just one little thing was missing....

And we found out a few weeks ago, that on Dec 29th, 2007, we'll be getting what we've been wanting for so long now, the best gift of all - a baby!

Yup, it's true! After 2.5 yrs of trying, numerous doctors, testing on Dono, and my cyst-removal surgery, it looks as though God has finally decided that this is it - our time to become parents has finally arrived!

WE'RE KNOCKED UP!!!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!

As of Saturday, May 19, I'll be at 8wks - so here's what our little peanut looks like right now:
AWWWWWWWW!!!!

Now if only they could stay that innocent for the rest of their lives! (If my history as a rebel teen - oh yes! - is any indication of what our baby's life will be like, then lord help us!)

So far I've just been feeling nauseous in the morning and at night, no yak sessions yet (knock on wood). And tired. VERY tired. Dono's great at letting me nap all the time, saying, "You're making kidneys right now, you need your rest!"

You'll be pleased to know that I'm doing everything I can to provide the healthiest of environments for our lil' one - I've officially quit smoking (the smell alone of cigarette smoke turns my stomach), I'm taking my doctor-recommended vitamin, I'm eating all my greens (with the exception of a few cheeseburgers and Dairy Queen blizzards - hey, gotta give the baby what it wants!). This baby is going to be born a superhero, it'll be so healthy!

Well, that's our big news! I go for my first ULTRASOUND at the end of June, when I'm 12-13 wks along. I can't believe I'M going for an ULTRASOUND!!!

I can't wait to keep y'all posted on the progress and development of Baby Yaciuk!
