10 Weeks In...

It's been an amazing beginning to the pregnancy for Jen and I. It's been quite easy for me because I don't have the side effects of the pregnancy. My back is a bit sore, but it's an ongoing issue that I have been dealing with for quite some time. Otherwise, I feel great! I wish I could say the same for Jen, but I cannot. Unfortunately for her, this pregnancy has been hard on her. She hasn't felt really since before all of the shots she took back in April. I keep reminding her that the worse she feels, the healthier the baby must be by absorbing all of her energy. She reluctantly agrees with me. Quite honestly, that baby is being quite stingy. Poor Jen can't go to long in a day before needing a nap and is pretty nauseous throughout the day. Hopefully that will end soon because we will soon be out of the first trimester.

The upcoming baby room is still riddled with office supplies, hardwood pieces left over from finishing the den, cast-off clothing that we have not rid ourselves of yet, and purses... Yes, the purses. There are dozens of purses that are in the baby closet at this time. If you need a purse to match an outfit for an engagement, Jen and her "purse pagoda" has what you are looking for! Pink, green, yellow, Coach, Dooney & Bourke. You name it, she has it. Thankfully, it's her mother's doing and is her enabler. You know me- I still have the same wallet from 3 years ago.

We finally moved out the queen-sized bed and it has been replaced by a beautiful espresso-colored crib. That was truly the first time that it really sunk in that our family is actually going to grow soon. Now we have added the dresser, which has simply added to the reality. After four years, our dreams are coming true.

Now what are we going to do with the rest of the stuff in the baby's room? We have about 6 months to figure it out. Hey- if you are looking for a purse, let me know and I will look through our "catalog" to see if we have one that's right for you!

Take care and God bless-
