We're Expecting!!

Our family of 2 is going to be expanding to 3! Our baby will be due Sept. 25th. It all started at Christmas when Austin told me I could have my baby and quit taking my birth control. It was a wonderful Christmas present. We didn't expect to get pregnant so fast! Austin says he could have used a little more time. :) We found out about our little one Jan. 18th. Thinking by that time I was only about 3 weeks along, I scheduled a doctors appointment and marveled at the miracle. On Tuesday Feb. 24th we went to the doctor and discovered that I am farther along that we had expected; about a week and a half farther. So as of today I am 10 weeks. I can't believe it. At about week 6 the sickness set in. I was hoping to be one of the lucky ones to just breeze through with nothing to worry about. I was so wrong. I'm hoping to be on the way out of the sickness stage. I want to eat normally again and actually enjoy it! Austin has been a sweetheart through all my sickness and throwing up. He laughs at me when I get an impulse craving. Like last night, when I went to Wal-Mart and smelled the fries at the McDonalds. I called him and asked if he wanted any. He was at school putting in grades and so I'd have to bring it to him. Small sacrifice for for what I wanted! He is wonderful and I'm blessed to have him in my life!
We were fortunate enough to have an ultrasound at our appointment. It was exciting to see the baby and the little heartbeat.

We Have Internet

We now have internet! Yeah! I'm so excited to be able to blog now. I have wanted to for awhile, but the thought of having to stay at school to use the internet wasn't appealing. Our wonderful landlords agreed to let us hook up a wireless router to their modem so we could easily (for about half the price) access the internet. We should have done it a long time ago. I'm surprised I was able to last a year without it. No more going to my parents to use the internet, especially early in the morning on days I'm sick to email my sub plans to school. The convenience of technology is wonderful! I look forward to keeping this blog updated and letting everyone get a glimpse into the Cowley way of life!
