i turn over on thurs, but out of habit i take belly shots on sunday. its easier cause chris is around to do it. so there ya goi actually look preggers with this one! i have a belly at 12 weeks. this is a record....ha!
nate wanted in the pic, silly boy!
it's not often that he wants to hug me and to get it on camera is a miracle! haha!now that we are public with the pregnancy, i can write about it. ha. i decided to go public this weekend for 1 reason....well 2....i look pregnant but mostly, i did it as a huge step of faith. i go to my first prenatal appointy this week and i wanted to wait until after the check up before i tell ppl but then i realised that fear was really the motive behind that so i stepped out and up and decided to share the news before i hear the heart beat again
sure i get scared but fear won't control me!
with this pregnancy i am doing a few things different. i am resting and sleeping as much as i can, when i can. i am not weighting myself a lot. i have a rule, i can only weight myself on sunday IF i remember and if i don;t i have to wait until the next sunday, so there's been a few weeks i didn't weight myself! this is TOTALLY freeing!!!!!!! wheeeeeeee!
eating-i eat what i want, when i want. meaning, if i am not hungry at lunch, i wait until i am hungry then i eat my lunch, sometimes it's at 11, or 3. when i get hungry i eat. then i eat what i crave. so far, i give in to everything! just in moderation. i eat fries and burgers just not ALL of it! ha. so far i love, love, love in no order!
chicken!
banana's with peanut butter!
golden delish apples!
hamburger with lots of ketchup!
tomato soup!
crackers with peanut butter!
pizza! yummio!
exercise-i am doing nothing right now. nadda. zip, nothing i haven't been cleared by the dr yet so i am taking this break and running with it!
i have had a lot of ppl ask the following questions so i thought i would answer them here, cause i am an open book y'all!
nate, how is he with this baby thing? so far, he loves it! talks about the baby all the time! i really don;t think there will be issues with this, sure an adjustment time but no serious sibling rivalry
did we get help. no. we conceived just the 2 of us. ha
am i scared about losing the baby? no. but i do face feelings of fear and i deal with them
am i still going to home school? ya betcha! all the more reason to do it!
is chris taking time off? yes, we are 1 income so chris does get paternity leave. 9 months. he's one happy boy
and there ya go! this weeks baby update!

Mel you look ablsolutely,radiantly georgeous!! I'm sure Chris tells you all time (or so he should!!), but just on the slim-to-non chance that he doesn't I thought I share with you the first thought that came to my mind when I looked at your picture today!
Lots of love, ursi
I`m so beyond happy for you, Chris and Nate!! I can`t wait to meet that sweet little boy or girl. I think it`s a boy but we`ll see!!! :)
