5 Days...

Until my first ultrasound! We are getting super excited to hopefully get to hear our baby's heartbeat!! The appointment was scheduled a little earlier in the day than I had hoped...but thankfully Harold will be able to leave school early, so he will get to be there! So far, I've been feeling the 'morning sickness' all day, every day. Followed by some pretty major heartburn...and I think that's probably because I can't keep any food in my stomach! (Well, except for McDonald's cheeseburgers and fries) It seems I'm just going to have to stick to what works and for now, I'm on a pretty awful diet of McDonald's, club crackers, popsicles and sprite. So far I've actually lost a few pounds. I'm told I'll gain that back pretty soon, however. We have also picked out a boy name! But are struggling to pick only ONE girl name. :P (I think it's going to be a boy anyway...) I am loving all this baby stuff!! :D

And of course I have even MORE good news!

We are coming home in July! Harold's Best Man, Destin, is gettin' hitched and Harold is in the wedding. :) This is happening on July 31st. We also have a friend here getting married on July 24th. (Stealing away Harold's birthday thunder) AND my family is coming to visit from July 4-13th then we are going to go with them to Washington DC for a few days before heading back here to find out if we will be moving to New York or staying in South Carolina for the next year. Phew! And we thought LAST summer was busy!

Oh, and while we are home in July, my sister is planning a baby shower in Boise...but I also have a friend planning one for friends and family in American Falls...and there's even talk of one happening here in South Carolina! Baby Phythian is already SO spoiled!! We are also planning on a vacation back home where we hope to stay for at least a couple weeks once Baby arrives. We haven't decided on whether that will be for Christmas or for New Years...either way, we'll be sure to see EVERYONE we possibly can while home.

For now, I guess that's just about all I have to update. Thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers and notes of encouragement! It's tough being away from friends and family, but I've got a pretty amazing husband and a wonderful support system...and we couldn't be happier!! :) :)
