Lots of excitement...

Well, the last few months have been a whirlwind, to say the least.  In October, we made an offer on a house (that I showed you in the last picture).  Then, the next day, we found out that I'M PREGNANT!!  Yes, folks, you read that right. Little Baby Bell is scheduled to arrive on June 15, 2012!  Matt and I are very excited!  We didn't quite expect to close on a new house on the same day that we had our first doctor's appointment, or to be trying to move in and get settled while I'm in my first trimester & can barely keep my eyes open past 5:00!  But, I know that God's plan and timing are perfect, and I am so happy that we are moving into a new phase in our lives!  I can't promise that I will be faithfully updating the blog over the next couple of months...things are about to get really crazy with the holiday travelling...but I will try to keep everyone updated as the pregnancy progresses.  Thankfully, the first trimester has been pretty easy for the most part.  Although I had a few weeks where any thought of food (besides peanut butter sandwiches) was out of the question, I have really only had 2 days of "morning" sickness (that happened to last all day long).  God has truly blessed me with not much sickness, especially since I'm teaching at a tiny school where there are no substitutes, so missing work can really cause a problem!  The one day I was sick at school, I would just leave my room, signal the secretary to watch my class, and head to the bathroom.  It worked out quite well!  Ha!  Sorry, mom, I still haven't taken a "belly" picture...although there is really no belly to show as of yet.  I keep telling Matt that if I hadn't seen the pictures of the baby on the ultra sound, I wouldn't really believe that I was pregnant!  Anyway, until next time...have a wonderful day!
