Im Gonna Have A Baby

So as you may have heard....I'm going to have a baby. My due date is February 17th. I figured it out when I was throwing up in Guatemala and sick in Utah for the 4th. We went to the doctor a few weeks later and had it confirmed. Below is the picture of our Lima bean. I know you can't see anything.....but its fun to look at anyway. In the top photo the little X is over its heart. In the bottom photo the Xs are measuring from head to rump. You can also see an arm flipper (which waved to us during the ultrasound). Near the bottom of both pictures, you can see a thick dashed line, that is the formation of the umbilical chord.

This is the official ultra sound of our alien baby (it has graduated from Lima bean). In this one you can see the eye sockets. You can also see its arms up near its head.

Well that's the news. I'm feeling a lot better and my goal is to not throw up at school. So far, so good. I have thrown up everywhere else imaginable and made many messes.
I'm also trying not to be emotional, but sometimes I cant help it. Nate and I were discussing something (he wouldn't like me to use the word arguing) and all of the sudden I was crying. I didn't mean to, it just happened. Then the crying turned to sobbing and it wouldn't stop. Nate apologized, like a good husband, which made me feel worse because it wasn't even him.
I'm starting to get a little belly and some pants can no longer be buttoned comfortably. But my friends here have taught me the rubber band trick, so I can still wear them. I also bought my first stuffed animal for the baby. Nate saw it and got that look like "and it begins". I promised that I wouldn't go crazy and buy lots of useless stuff. But its a little sheep and on sale, what was I supposed to do?? We are excited for February. I know it will come quick and life will never be the same. But it's just one more adventure in the life of Kate and Nate.
