Baby, Oh Baby

Soooo, we're having a baby!  The world pretty much knows by now, but after being harassed by a sweet friend that my blog had been lacking for quiet some time now, I decided to get this thing going again.

I pretty much knew I was pregnant before I took the test.  All those lovely changes that start taking place were happening, and I knew something was different.  It was the weekend of December 18th, and we had been home to Arlington to have an early Christmas with my Dad, step mom, and the Kashubas all weekend, but all I kept thinking about was getting home to take a test.  Sure enough, it was positive.  Even though I pretty much knew what that test was going to say, I was shaking like crazy!  I couldn't believe it actually said positive! Travis and I just looked at each other saying, "Oh crap. This is happening!"  We could hardly believe it.

The next weekend was Christmas. We would be celebrating Christmas in Houston with both of our families.   Since my parents were driving down to have Christmas with us, we decided it would be the perfect time to tell them.  So I wrapped up cute little onesies that said "What happens at Grandmas stays at Grandmas," and cute little ones for the grandpas as well.  Travis and I tried to do a video and take pictures, but once everyone started figuring it out there was way too much yelling and screaming to focus on taking pictures!  I did get a good one of Joe's face right after though, and of course it's on my mom's camera!

After telling just the parents, I wanted to wait until we officially heard the heartbeat to tell everyone else.  Our appointment was last Monday, January 23rd.  The grandparents were going crazy not being able to tell anyone, and knew I was going in around 1:30.  Needless to say they were anxiously awaiting the "go ahead" call shortly after.  Facebook got the news, and the rest is history!

I'm about 10 weeks and 3 days.  We're due around August 25th.  Yay for getting to be in my last trimester in the blazing, horrible heat of Texas.  I cannot imagine how miserable I'm going to be come August!  Lord, help us all!!  So far the pregnancy has been B-R-U-T-A-L!  I'm talking the worst nausea and vomitting imaginable.  Seriously, it has been hard.  I never thought I was that much of a wuss, but I don't know how all you moms out there do it...more than once!  I've prayed this is twins so I don't have to go through this again!  I am praying and praying I get the 12 week break everyone talks about.  Trying to hold on for a couple more weeks.

Sorry for all the blog silence.  Not expecting a ton of readers at this point, but with all the resting and sickness, I'm going to get back on the blogging wagon.  Hope you each are doing well!
