What a Week

This has been an up and down week. I have been doing really well, but some days I am completely exhausted after doing just a few things around the house. It makes me laugh!! Thursday, Tim and his family and I went to his grandparent's house and did some yard work. Well, correction, they did yard work, I was instructed to rest. I did and it was absolutely wonderful. It was very peaceful. Saturday, we had a picnic and played tennis. This was the first time I had ever touched a racket. Not bad, let's just say, there was a couple there who could actually play and we just looked really silly. Oh well, we had fun. Then on Sunday, we were able to go to church. I was very excited!!! This is the first time I had been able to go to church do to morning sickness and all the lovely things going on with my pregnancy. For a Mother's Day lunch, I asked Tim to go to McDonald's because I was really craving a snack wrap. When we go there, I couldn't even eat it! Boy was I upset..... but I was able to eat it a few hours later. We had a lovely time talking with moms and grandmas and wishing them a wonderful day. It is so strange to think that I am a mommy. I am so excited for the next 6 months. I pray God will grant us a safe and healthy baby!

Life

So, the last few days have been really good for our family. Tim found out that he has a new job for nTelos as a retail wireless consultant. He has really enjoyed that job in the past and is really excited to pick it back up again. I was also able to talk to a really good friend of mine the other day, which was amazing. We went to the Strawberry Festival in downtown Roanoke and got chocolate covered strawberries, strawberry smoothies, hot dogs (for Tim) and BBQ (for me) :) It was great fun.
I am still having some rough days. It seems like the medicine is working for the most part, which I am very thankful for. I think I also picked up a bug when I was at school. So by Dr. Tim's orders, I have been trying to take it easy. Just today have I felt semi-good to be up and around. Thank you for your continuing prayers.

Long Week!!!

 Can anyone agree with me??? Has it been a long week or what?  I was able to go back to work on Thursday. It was great to see people and the kids. It was very short lived. Friday I got sick and had to stay home. Eventually.... one of these days..... hopefully soon.... I will be able to have great days all in a row. I am so very thankful for a loving husband who is a big help! I am also blessed to have the support of family and friends both near and far. Baby is doing great and so are mommy and daddy. Thank you for your prayers and love! :)

Finally.... A Day out of the House!!!!!

Today has been an amazing day!!!!! Tim was off work, and we decided to spend some time together out of the house. We had lunch, looked at a house, ran errands, and had lots of fun! It was a very tiring day, but well worth it. The doctor gave me medicine for the morning sickness and praise the Lord it is finally working!!!! I actually have gone a complete day without getting sick!!! I am so blessed to have a special husband who loves and takes care of me. I don't know what I would do without him! I love you Tim Bradbury! :)

.... and baby too!!!!

So, my mother-in-law encouraged me to start a blog during my pregnancy to keep me busy and occupied! It was a very good idea! As  most of you all ready know, Tim and I found out a few weeks ago that I was pregnant! It was a little bit of a surprise, but a very rewarding one! We went to the doctor's office and found out I was 6 weeks along. I was feeling great and thought I was going to be one of the lucky ones to skip the morning sickness!!!!! But as most of you know...... I have had morning sickness for the last 3 weeks. I have tried every trick in the book. I am very thankful for all the suggestions and tips that I received over the last few days. They were some-what helpful. I finally had a real doctor's appointment yesterday, April 18, 2012. We were able to hear the baby's heart beat. We could also see the little head, hands, feet, nose, and bottom, which was super cool! I had my blood drawn for the first time, and I must say that I did not pass out! The doctor and nurses were so kind. I could not have asked for a better first time baby doctor's visit! I will try my best to keep you updated on our family's progress throughout the next few months. Thanks for all the love, support, and prayers!
