Happy New Year!

The family :)

Hey Guys! Well we're definitely new to this whole blogging thing, but thought what the heck it's a new year let's give it a try! As most of you know, Nate and I are still down in North Carolina where I teach and Nate is an analytical chemist. We love the warm weather,  but are ready to be back up in cold Michigan with family and friends :) Maybe this year....

Nate & Me back home in Reed City

We had a wonderful Christmas break back home, filled with lots of family, friends, and food. Once again, we got spoiled rotten by everyone, even Baby Chucta, I can't imagine what it's going to be like when he/she is born! Nate and I also had a great start to the new year with lots of snuggles and kisses! It's hard to believe how different things will be at this time next year with Baby Chucta in the picture! Nate and I are so excited with the new addition coming in July...ahhhh!!!!

Saladin Christmas

Things still haven't changed a whole lot with me and the pregnancy. I've been feeling great and my pants are only a bit too tight :) Nothing a bella band won't cure! Those things are amazing! They let me wear all my old pants I just don't have to button them now, good thing because they aren't even close to buttoning! I just finished my 14th week, and am in the second trimester, it's crazy how fast time flies! It feels like just yesterday I was peeing on the little stick (4 times might I add) revealing the plus sign :) We go back to our doctors on February 1st for another ultrasound, where we can find out the sex of little baby chucta..... As of now we are still sticking strong to waiting for the surprise...we'll see if Nate can hold out!

It's Postive!!!! :)

14 Weeks

We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas season and Happy New Year! Lots of love to all of our long distance friends and family!
