BABY FLITTON!!!

A lot has happened since I last wrote here!  I wish I was better at this blogging thing.  Our most recent news - we are SO excited to announce that we are expecting a baby boy due this September!!!  I found out I was pregnant on January 8th, just a week or so before we moved back to Riverton for Spencer's internship at Ebay.  How I found out - In December we got a cheap pregnancy test as a white elephant gift (after finding out I actually was pregnant, I was glad I didn't have to go to the store and buy one.....although since then I have taken 4 more, just to be sure) ;) I had a little suspicion when my time of the month came and went.  So one day, on a whim, I decided what the heck! Let's just see what happens when I take this test. Lo and behold, it was positive!!  I was in shock, so I didn't want to tell Spencer right away.  By the end of the next day I mustered up the courage to share the news. Then, we both were able to absorb it together...very exciting!! (Spencer was and still is in shock sometimes)!

^^^Spencer's fortune from a few weeks ago. We thought it was perfect, except that he won't just be visiting!^^^

Obviously I couldn't wait to tell family, but made them promise they would keep it a secret for a while.  After finding out, I did feel sick and nauseous for a couple weeks.  Even just turning over in bed made my stomach churn.  We also had scented garbage bags which never bothered me until then. Talk about PO-TENT!  Forget about cleaning the toilet too!

Since the early stages of pregnancy, honestly I've been feeling great.  Sometimes I feel like a ravenous eating machine, but quickly realize that if I actually eat for two adults, I feel preeetty sick.  Eating healthy, smaller snacks more often throughout the day makes the difference.  I have been to the doctor 3 times now, and just yesterday found out that our little one is a boy.  People always asked if I had any intuition as to what the gender would be.  Can't say I never knew for sure, but I always imagined having a boy first.  We are beyond thrilled and can't wait for our precious Emmett!! Yes, that's the name I picked out and I can't imagine why I might change my mind about it. :)

I am 16 weeks along, and I find myself constantly day dreaming about being a mother....I am so excited!!!
