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.
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!
