We're Having a Baby!!

Jayson & I are beyond thrilled to announce that Baby Hull is due May 23, 2011!!! We are so excited to start this new chapter in our life and are just in amazement at the miracle that is growing inside of me.

As of right now, I am 14 weeks & Baby J is doing great. We say "Baby J" because we have decided to be one of those really corny families whose names all start with the same letter. :) We will find out Baby J's sex and announce his/her name around the first of the new year. I have a feeling my little one is a girl because of my first trimester symptoms...I think that the payback has already started. I always thought that I wanted a house full of boys (mainly because I didn't want a little mini me running around) but now that my time is actually here, I honestly don't care one way or the other. It is true that as soon as you find out you are going to be a parent, the only thing that you want is a healthy baby.

I was very glad to see Mr. Second Trimester show up this week as he has been much nicer to me than Miss First Trimester....I am finally starting to enjoy my relationship with food again & I don't feel like someone hit me with a truck at the end of my days. My energy is returning just in time for the holidays!

Let me say that I have the most amazing husband who has been so supportive and loving during some not no fun times for him as well. He has listened and tried to calm all of my crazy worries, driven all over Winston-Salem in search of that one thing to eat that wouldn't make me sick, and put up with a very hormonal wife with the best of them. I don't know what I would do without him & I'm reminded everyday of why I chose to spend the rest of my life with him. He's going to be an amazing daddy.

Here is our first picture of our little nugget...7 weeks.

And, again at 8 weeks...little Nugget's head is pointed down on the left side

and you can see his/her little arms just beginning to form.

We are not sure how we are going to prepare our "first born" for this new addition to our family, but I'm sure that I'm going to see this look many times. I love my Diva girl....

This Thanksgiving, I am thankful for the MANY blessings that God has given to me and our family. Everyday my life is full of hope, love, laughter, and happiness.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!
