If you are reading this then you know, there is a bun in the oven! It all started when one night... just kidding! I won't bore you with those details ;) So yea, there it is, Merch and Wes... PARENTS, better yet, Mom and Dad! YIKES! I'm sure this is a role that many of you are having a hard time seeing us in at the moment but I assure you, after a pug and a mastiff, it is a role that we are well prepared for. And yes, I will compare my child to my fur children for the rest of my life because they're all I know right now.

So the pregnancy. You name the symptom, I HAVE IT. I don't know if it's all in my head and I'm just excited or if its all real. It feels real. The morning (noon, and night) sickness, the exhaustion, the constipation, the discomfort. I'm convinced my child hates me already and it's only the size of a peanut! We went to the doctor yesterday for our 8 week appointment and all is well! We had an ultrasound and got to actually see the little peanut! It was the coolest thing you could ever imagine! The heartbeat was 148bpm, which my mom thinks means a boy. Boy or girl, I don't really care. I finally have a minion to join my army! It's still really early so we haven't told many people yet, and if Susie would keep her mouth SHUT I think we could keep it a secret for awhile.
One thing I know for sure, I'm petrified. I'm scared that I'm not eating the right things or exercising right. I'm scared our house is too old and the baby will eat lead paint chips. I'm scared my mastiff will smother the baby and the pug will eat it. I'm scared that I won't be able to clean up after the dogs, my husband, and the baby. I'm scared that it's no longer just Wes and I but a baby too. I'm scared that I'm not exactly where I wanted to be in life before bringing another life into the world. But there is one thing I know. Everything will turn out perfect :) If you know me, then you know that I have been in some pretty sticky situations through out my life time and I've always made it out on top. This is one of the best situations I could imagine myself in and I know we will be great.
