Update

First of all, let me just say pregnancy is HARD! Its been an interesting first three months. Here's an update of the first trimester....

~Two IV's after entire days of throwing up
~No energy whatsoever
~ A complete hatred of ANY food
~Struggling to keep up with work and school
~Headaches from the medicine that helps the nausea (I would rather have the headaches)
~My stomach waking up at 4am but my body refusing to get out of bed (making me sick all morning)
~Realizing how dirty my bathroom is from spending so much time on the floor
~Refusal to eat anything sweet even chocolate (I have turned down some of my favorite deserts! Even gluten free cupcakes in San Diego)
~3 months of basically no cooking or dishes....I absolutely hate the smells

So it has been an adventure...a lot harder than I thought. And even though it has been some of the hardest three months of my life (I feel like a complete wimp saying that!) I could not be happier. If I could go back now and decide to wait to get pregnant, I wouldn't do it. I loved seeing Scotty's face when he saw our baby jump around the screen at our doctors appointment. I love the days when I feel good and I can actually get excited about a baby coming in 6 months.

Not our baby but just to give you an idea, its starting to be more human!

I am officially 13 weeks. One more week and its onto the second trimester! Wish me luck, I have been feeling better the past few days and I'm hoping that means the next three months will be more full of exercise and healthy eating, than puking and staying in bed all day.

Now an update of our life plan....
Scotty really likes his job doing construction, and building a house is something he has always wanted to learn. So he is going to keep working at Evans for at least the next year. Moving to Huntington Beach was always kind of the plan after graduation but we just haven't felt good about it lately. We feel like we need to stay here. It feels right for us right now. I might try and do grad school next year and we aren't ruling out all options yet so if an amazing job opportunity comes up for Scotty then we will take it. Obviously this plan can change but we are looking for houses in Laie and Hauula and hoping something affordable will come up and we can start the next step in our lives!
