I figured this yucky rainy day in Charleston, is the reason why I am feeling a bit yucky today. For months now, I have been congested and have had al these nasal issues. Lovely, I know:) Now, my sinuses are actually hurting. I did get my H1N1 shot this weekend, so hopefully I'm good to go on that end! Thank you DHEC and being a booth at the Home+Design Show- who knew that would be the kind of multi-tasking that would take place on a Sunday?!
I have also been seeing some side affects of me NOT being on birth control. I remember when Matt and I first starting to discuss 'trying' and I quickly realized one thing--that would mean I have to give up my beloved BC. I have been prescribed to BC since I was 18 years old. After years of horrible cramps, that seemed to be my best solution. Little did I know it was going to balence my hormones out more, clear up my skin and possibly even be a prevention for various cancers!
Now that I have been off BC about 6 months and quickly thereafter became pregnant, my body is not quite sure what is happening! For all those years I was regulated by my BC and my skin was clear. Not so much is the case anymore...I feel like a teenager..well, not so much, although my skin wants to think it is:)
It is so fascinating to see and experience all these natural occurances that come with pregnancy. For all these little annoyances and aggrivating pains, I know it will be WAYYY beyond worth it in the end. Cannot wait to meet this future soccer player (girl or boy), who is already kicking up a storm lately!!! Maybe it's the stormy weather or maybe he/she is excited that we get to see them again this Friday for the 20 week ultrasound! I am hoping it's the latter..

Catching up..
Friends and Family, since this is our first post and we're almost 16 weeks now, we wanted to catch you up to speed a bit!
We had our first Dr. visit on Dec 10, which we thought was an 8 week visit, but turned out to be 11.5 weeks! So...when we saw the baby on the ultrasound, this crazy being had arms, legs, full spine, both sides of the brain- just facinating, especially when we thought all we'd see was a blob:) Between then and now, we have been prepping our minds and home to welcome a new baby in our lives! Reading books, buying some room necessities & cute clothes, looking at paint colors, fabric swatches, you know- all the important stuff! Ha..
The real issue these past few weeks has been the struggle dealing with/finding childcare. I have visited a few daycares in our area, none of which are awesome and also, none of which expects to take any new children this year. At all. Great..So now we are on the hunt for what seems like our ideal anyways, a nanny-share with our friend/neighbor or a sweet in-home daycare close by. I have a couple good leads and we are confident that the right thing will surface. Sooner than later we hope, so that is behind us:)
We went back to the Dr today, Jan 7 & got to hear the heartbeat for the first time, which was cool & 'nice and strong' said the Doc. (We also think baby was gearing up for this BCS Championship game tonight- ROLL TIDE!) Even though my regular pants button and loop is being held together with a rubber band, when I weighed in today I was semi-proud that I have only gained 1 lb..told Matt that I honestly think it's from me not drinking that delicious craft beer in our fridge for 4 months..hmm will have to remember that POST baby then, too I guess! More to come and we cannot wait to update you further.
