Sinus overload!

When I went to the doctor I explained to him that I was having real bad sinus draining. He told me I could take Tylenol Cold and Sinus and that would be completely safe for "baby." Well, I went seeking out this medicine at Walgreens and Kroger only to learn that you now have to have a prescription in the state of MS!!! I am so mad at those meth lab people who have made it where hard-working people can't even cure the common cold with an OTC medicine.... We now have to run to our local healthcare provider and pay for a doctor visit just to get a prescription!!!! I hate that a few people always ruin things for everyone. 

That's my rant for today. So I guess it's call and bother my doctor OR drive to Memphis! You can still run your meth labs in TN apparently!

10 weeks and counting...

We had our 2nd dr visit yesterday. The most amazing thing I've ever heard in my life... our baby's heartbeating at 176 bpm. I'll just start crying thinking about it. I have life growing in me. It is so surreal!

Right now Brent and I are leaning towards, NOT finding out the sex of the baby. BOO WHOO, WAH,.. I know I know! We're sorry that is annoying to almost ALL of our friends! (And, there is still a slim chance that we'll change our minds!) Right now my thought is that I really don't care what the sex of the baby is. We have waited so long to concieve that we'll be excited no matter what! So why not wait and have a sweet, additional, surprise on Baby's B-day! PLUS... I think it will cut down on the flack about what to name the baby! :)

Although, a friend of a friend is doing something really cute. They are having a gender reveal party! They are going to get the sex of the baby put in an envelope...they'll take it to the baker and have them bake a cake according to the sex, blue for a boy, pink for a girl. The cake will be completely neutral on the outside...then at the party they'll cut into the cake and everyone will know what they are having by the color of the cake! Cute, but probably not for us!

Thanks for following along!

Save the date: April 17, 2011

After a few years of "trying" and praying.... Brent and I are expecting a baby in April. We are so excited. Right now we are 9.5 weeks along. It has been a fun, overwhelming ride! So far sickness has been very minimal...mostly just exhausted. Baby is growing fast. We get to go to our 2nd OB visit next Wed. I hope that we able to hear our baby's heartbeat! :) More updates to follow. Please pray this is a safe and successful pregnancy.
