Car sick

Ever been car sick for weeks on end? That'e me. That's the best way I can describe this great time in my life - it's like I'm constantly on an airplane on the verge of throwing up - on the verge is the important part - on the verge and hoping to keep it that way.
However, it is totally worth it and I think I can withstand a few (hopefully just a few) more weeks of this.
We are feeling like things are going really well at this point. It's pretty fun to get weekly updates on the babies growth. I read today that it's head is half of it's body size. (when Troy said that the baby looks like him - my comment - with a big ole head and a big ole belly? :)
We do really appreciate all of your prayers at this time. Please continue to pray for the healthy growth of the baby and for my neausea to go away soon. School is starting around here - not much time to be sick! :)

We've got good news!

So ,we had a ultrasound today and everything went great! It was exciting to immediately see the baby's heart beating. The heart was beating strong and the baby was the size it was supposed to be. That's the good news we've been waiting to hear.

The last days were the longest two weeks of my life. We were anxiously waiting to see if everything was okay. And it is.

The baby waved at us as we were getting the ultrasound and wanted us to tell everyone "hello". That was pretty cool.

Amy is having a rough time with the morning sickness, but I am trying my best to do what I can. Everyone can pray that I have more sympathy and patience, because i'm going to need it. I think that is why God gave us 9 months to get ready. He knew it would take that long to train dads to be dads.

I have a feeling the next 6+ months are going to fly by. I look forward to the days ahead.

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers....

WE love you all.

P.S. If you look at the picture with a magnify glass, you can see the baby looks like me.

8 weeks down...

So we've completed our 8th week and all is well. The baby is about the size of a coffee bean. We had an ultrasound last week and the heart was beating strong. We weren't expecting to see the heart that soon so it was a great surprise! We have another ultrasound next Thursday (8/23) and Dr. M. says that after that we can breathe much more easily. We'll let you know!

Last night we laid in bed and thought of names from A - Z. We went from Adelyn to Zenia. I actually dreamed about a baby named Quaffi. Needless to say, that one won't make the final cut. :)
