Big Changes

Life has been crazy for us the last couple of months.  In May we found out that we are FINALLY pregnant!  We had been trying for so long and had been to so many doctors.  We had a lot of tests done and our next step was fertility treatments.  Luckily we didn't have to.  Life being preggo has been so hard for me.  We just started week 13 and I've lost over 17 pounds.  I have been super sick, weak and had no appetite even with taking anti-nausea pills.  It's been frustrating for me because I know I need to drink and eat well for me and the baby but I just can't.  If I'm lucky enough to actually eat it comes right back up.  And it's been stressful trying to keep my meds down for my thyroid problem.  Today I finally caved and had Chad take me to the emergency room for help.  I was VERY dehydrated and sick and couldn't even take my meds.  I ended up with 2 liters of liquid through an IV, a shot of zofran and b6 and before I was able to leave I had to eat something.  I feel a whole lot better other than a pounding headache.  I still have the port in my arm so I can go out whenever I need to have things topped off =)  Hopefully this ALL DAY "morning" sickness will be gone soon so I can function somewhat again.

In other news, we sold our house!  Our neighbor had been bugging us for months to let him buy up the property.  We were pretty hesitant because we live on a great lot and had talked about building here.  Everything has worked out for the best though.  The neighbor offered us enough to set us up pretty good so we took it (plus, as miserable as I've felt there's no way I could think about house plans and all that, and it would have cost us a fortune just to get the lot ready to build -  curb and gutter and all that).  We were a little nervous about what we would do and where we would go but the neighbor agreed to let us stay here until we found somewhere to buy, rent free.  Can't beat that!  Well, here's the crazy part, 4 days after signing a contract with a neighbor we signed a contract for a new house that we fell in love with.  We think we're crazy!  It's the one and only house we've looked and walked through, but when it's right it's right.  We couldn't be more excited and as smoothly as everything is working out with our sale and buying the new home we're thinking we'll be all moved in the first part of August!  Which will be great because then we can enjoy and focus on baby and what needs to be done to prepare for that.

It's a big year for us for sure and we're definitely feeling overwhelmed and can't believe our good luck!
