We're Having a BABY!!

That's right, the little one is set to arrive November 13th and we couldn't be more excited! 

You might have noticed I have been MIA for the past 3 months...  I started out February by being out of commission with a case of Labyrinthitis, which is inflammation of the inner ear that causes you to constantly feel like the room is spinning.  Crazy stuff.   That took almost a month to go away, which was about the time we found out we were pregnant!  I had about a week of feeling pretty good, then I was hit hard with morning sickness, make that "ALL-DAY, 24/7, even wake-up-in-the-middle-of-the-night to throw up" sickness.  It was so bad I ended up taking short term disability from work for 4 weeks and then after that worked half-days in the afternoons for 2 weeks.  I am finally back to work full-time and am starting to feel human again, which is wonderful!!

Anyway, back to the good part of this all!  Trevor and I are already praying and dreaming about all that our little one is going to be.   We realize what an important and hard job we will have as parents and I have to admit that is a little nerve-racking, but we are ready for the challenge.   We're also very excited that this baby will have a cousin just 3 months older.  My sister Rachel is due August 22nd and is having a BOY!  We can hardly believe that there is going to be a boy in the Duffy family.

I don't know that I'm showing to other people, but my pants are definitely starting to get tight.  Here are just a couple pictures.

12 weeks

13 weeks

Trevor was very sweet and gave me this beautiful pearl necklace for my first Mother's Day gift!   (Excuse the scary picture...I felt weird just standing there so I thought I'd do something "fun"..and this craziness is what resulted.)

We also got to celebrate Mother's Day with Trevor's parents at a Mexican Restaurant halfway between us.  The waiter  saw we were taking pictures and gave his parents these sombreros! 

I can't wait until next Mother's Day...it's hard to imagine that we'll have a 6 month old baby!
