Becoming A Mom

I am 17 1/2 weeks into my pregnancy, and I can't believe how quickly it is going. However, I still feel like I have forever until baby is here.

So far I think I have had a pretty easy pregnancy. I did get nauseous at first, but never threw up. I can't tell you how many naps I've taken, but I do love sleep. :-) I'm still waiting for that burst of energy that I hear comes in the second trimester. Hunger hasn't really been an issue. I haven't been hungry all the time like I thought I would be, rather I have the same hunger as before and really don't eat more than I did before.

My husband I had been trying for about two months when we found out we were pregnant. It was one of the most exciting and nervous days of my life, and I have no idea why I was nervous. I guess because I was so early on and I was nervous to lose the baby. However, that all seems to go away when you hear the heartbeat for the first time. AMAZING! My husband, John, and I found out that we are having a girl just a few days ago. We plan to name her Hannah.

In the mist of all of this we have moved from Texas to New York. My husband is in the military and we are being stationed at Ft. Drum, which is our first permanent duty station. We are excited for all the changes coming our way and can't wait to meet our little girl.
