Now That The Cat's Outta The Bag :)

For all of you all that have been waiting, here it is...

Since I started blogging Jimmy has asked me why I've not blogged anymore. My response: I'm afraid I'll let the cat out of the bag. Well if you are one of the few that missed out, JIMMY AND I ARE EXPECTING!!! Now it's out!!! Around the end of November/1st of December I had my suspicions and on Dec. 5th those suspicions were confirmed. It was so very hard for us not to tell but we really wanted to surprise his family with the news on Christmas.

Tentatively, baby Puckett is due August 13th. Geigh told me she hopes it will come on the 12th ;). To answer a few of the obvious questions, I honestly don't care if its a boy or girl, as long as I have a healthy baby I will be ecstatic. Obviously Jimmy is hoping for a boy, but ya'll know just as well as I do that he will be just as happy to have a little princess. I'm not sure if we are going to find out the sex yet. We have talked briefly about it Jimmy said he don't think we should, but I want to know!!! Yes, we have thought of names, most of you know them but if you don't, I'll have to discuss it with Jimmy before I let the whole world know.

I went to the doctor today and we did hear the heartbeat!!! YAY. I have not had an ultrasound yet the doctor said she probably wouldn't schedule it until I was about 18-20 weeks. I have lost 7lbs since I was there in Dec. She said at this point she wasn't really concerned with that weight loss (because apparently it's normal to lose weight during the 1st trimester), but if when I go back and I have lost much more then she would start to REALLY become concerned. I know I need to eat and eat better but I have been sooooo sick that I just can't hardly stomach anything. Early on I was able to eat through the nausea, but for the past couple of weeks it just aint happening!!! She told me I could expect about 6 more weeks of it...WHAAAAT are you kidding me?!?!?!? And she expects me NOT to loose much more weight? If I stay sick for about the next 6 weeks, I WILL LOSE MORE WEIGHT!!! I know it's hard to predict how and when things will start and stop and I know that every pregnancy is different but I'm just saying her expectations of me being sick longer and NOT losing weight is a little crazy. Don't get me wrong I really like my doctor, I just thought it was a little contradictory. But, who knows I'm not the doctor.

I just thank God for ALL his blessings that he has poured out upon me. I do ask that you would pray for us and for our unborn child.
