A little bundle of joy...

Yes! We are expecting! :)
We are due November 5th and truly thrilled! This is a picture of Baby Nusbaum at 9 Weeks! I am currently rolling into my 12th week and feeling alot better. I was really sick (I mean REALLY sick) from weeks 6-11, I honestly didn't know if I was going to make it. LOL I thought to myself, it's like having the bad flu 24/7.

But then, during week 9 when we had our first ultrasound, it all seemed worth it. To see this little person, heart beating away, moving around on its own- - - we fell into instant love of this little being. I said to my doctor, it's all worth it... the throwing up, the constant nausea- - - it's all worth it, with a big smile on my face. :)

We finally told our parents at Easter 2 weekends ago. I got two larger green plastic eggs and put an ultrasound photo in each of them (for each set of parents). My parents were in total shock and THRILLED, while Ryan's mom fell to her knees crying and his dad was very emotional as well, and THRILLED! It was mostly shock because we have not mentioned NOR hinted of any kind that we were trying for a baby. So SHOCK, EXCITEMENT & TEARS would pretty much sum up that experience! It was great!

We have our next ultrasounds at the end of April, and during this one, we will be able to hear the heartbeat! :) So excited for that. In the mean time, my sickness level has gone WAY down... barely any at all! I also have formed a small baby bump, which I will hopefully take a photo of this weekend to post. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

xox,

Raise your hand if you need a vacation...

I DO! I DO!

I tell ya, I am dying. I'm sitting here at work exhausted, raining outside, cold- I'm just done. You know when you have reached that point when you're like "Ok, I need a vacation."

I have officially reached that point.

I you can tell, I haven't been blogging much- again- tired. So just burnt out on everything I can't even get enough motivation to blog, nothing is inspiring me.

Lucky, there is a light at the end of the tunnel... about a 3 week long tunnel. I am slowly crawling my way there.

That light is Vegas.

At the beginning of May, my sisters and I are off to our annual sister's trip to Vegas. Honestly, that's about all I can think about. Sun shine, good food catered to me, relaxing by the pool, no schedule, no emailing or phone calls, no making dinner, no laundry, no cleaning, NOTHING! AHHHHH! I can barely stand it.

I need a vacation. I need THIS vacation.

Will I make it? Well, I'm still crawling. Vegas would be the only light right now that would keep me going.

Vegas.
