Today I had a doctor's appt. and we got to HEAR the heartbeat! Very exciting! I really love my doctor- she is so nice and I really feel like she is genuinely excited for US. I would think it would be hard to be so genuine when it is something you do all day long, but I feel like she is very genuine. I guess my previous doctors have been also, but I always seemed to have first appointments filled with bad news and nothing else, with two previous miscarriages. I guess this is how it feels to be on the other side! Anyway, I do love my doctor and that makes me happy...
Why I have been missing the past few weeks...
1. Got the sickie junk that is going around starting last Thursday and pretty much stayed on the couch Friday, Saturday and Sunday
2. My grandad (My mom's dad) passed away on January 10. I flew to Amarillo for the funeral on the 13th. I kept going back and forth whether or not I was going to go, knowing I most likely would not do too well for the 11ish hour drive with mom and dad. Finally decided to go that Monday morning and I am so glad that I did. Now that both of my mom's parent's have passed away, I don't know if we will really make that trek again and it was really nice to be able to see a lot of my mom's aunts and uncles that I have not seen in forever. It was also nice to visit with cousins that made the trip and of course see my sisters. I was sad that Ray wasn't able to go, but those tickets were so expensive last minute. I was SO TIRED after those two days of travel, I really don't know how you do it Kareb...
3. Still feeling nauseated... I thought I was passing the hump a few weeks ago, but maybe not, or maybe I am shifting into heartburn and gas and can't really tell too much of a difference... boo...
Will be posting pictures of Ray's awesome desk that he built for his office- it is A-MA-ZING!

I'm so sorry to hear about grandfather - we'll keep your family in our prayers!
Unfortunately, the gas and the heartburn only get worse... I know that's not great news, but it's the truth. On a happy note, I'll be happy to send you my Sam's-sized bottle of Tums in about 6 days :)
Sara-
Thanks- he was in a home for several years with Alzheimer's, so it really feels like we lost him several years ago- but it was still emotional since I had not actually seen him in awhile (only my mom had really been up there). Congrats on the rapidly approaching due date! i can't even imagine how excited I will be at that point!
The remnants of nausea is no fun but I bet you will start feeling better soon. As far as heartburn, one word cures it all "PEPCID"! It is a miracle and you can take it up to twice a day, it's over the counter, and any doctor will approve the use for pregnancy! I started taking it only once a day and now that I'm 30 weeks I am up to twice a day and it has saved me.
I am so excited for you both! Are you going to find out the sex? I am one that has to always know being the planner that I am. The boys are going to share a room and knowing the sex allowed Brandon to keep his office.
I wish you were on facebook so that I could keep up with you more frequently! Think about it! I miss you!
Love,
Michelle
Michelle-
