Growing a belly

I guess it is finally time to announce that I am pregnant. It won't be too long before I start to show and can't keep it a secret anymore. I am 14 weeks along now. I can't believe that I'm already a third of the way through this pregnancy. It has flown by. Baby Iwe (ee-way, that's what Jarom call it right now- it's African) is due March 18th. I've been pretty sick but it's starting to get better now. Jarom and I are so excited. We can't wait for our little one to get here. I've been trying to get my little nephew Jaxon to tell me if it's a boy or a girl but he won't tell me. I'm hoping to find out at 16 weeks but I may have to wait. We'll see. I can't wait to feel the baby moving. It shouldn't be to much longer now.

This pregnany has been different than the first one. I am grateful for the first experience because I appreciate this pregancy so much more. In a strange way I have loved being sick and exhausted. The nausea is a constant reminder of how lucky I am to have a life growing inside of me. Hearing that heartbeat for the first time was also a miracle. I never got the chance with the first one. I'm also loving growing a belly. I don't have much of one yet, but enough to make my pants tighter. I can definitely feel the difference. Jarom has been especially cute this time around as well. He is always rubbing my belly and saying hi to the baby. The other day he even read baby Iwe a story. He was so giddy when we had the last ultrasound. We saw the baby moving around and got to hear the heartbeat again. He was smiling the rest of the week. I am the luckiest girl ever.

Life at the new house is great. There are still quite a few boxes to be unpacked but we are getting settled. I have no time to unpack the rest. Between school, work, and the exhaustion I just don't ever get around to it. It'll happen one day. We love our house though. We especially love having Booker with us finally. He is such a good dog. We love him.

Well, it's finals week so I should be studying for my exams. Guess I'll get to it.
