Fourth of July North Salt Lake celebration on the Taylor lawnFirst of all, thanks for all of your "Congrats" and well wishes, it means the world to us! I can't tell you how excited Chase and I are about this baby! I don't think I am a very patient person. I'm only six weeks along and I feel like eight more months is forever away. Our due date is March 10th. All I want to do is read, shop, and think about this baby but how much is there really to talk about at only six weeks? I mean honestly, I can't even put up a pregnancy ticker yet because it looks like a little bug larvae, not so cute yet. We had an early ultrasound this week and got to see our little baby. (Really our baby was just a little dot inside of a lima bean, but what a miracle it is to see!)
Up until yesterday I have been feeling great besides being very tired and hungry all the time. I even kind of wished I would "feel" more pregnant. Well my wish came true. Smooth textures, any smell, and pickles are not so good-and I have always loved pickles. It is amazing to me that being pregnant can affect your sense of smell and taste so strongly. Any tips for morning sickness? So far I've been just trying to always have some food in me because it hits the strongest when I get hungry.
I will do my best not to turn my blog into a play by play of my entire pregnancy but I hope you don't mind if I tell about an occasional strange symptom every now and then. Like I said...I'm excited.
Besides baby news, lots of other exciting things are going on. My sister Tiffini is getting married in October in Nappa Valley, CA. She is marrying John who is just the nicest guy. I think they are a great couple and they are so happy. We have been busy bridesmaid dress shopping and making travel plans. My oldest brother Brian is also getting married this fall. He is marrying darling Thip from Laos so they are having a traditional Laocian wedding in September and then an American wedding in November. I am just excited that we get to see our family twice this fall!
