New Year Update

So far 2009 has been extremely good to us.
I hit my 1 year anniversary at work on January 2nd, which means I am off probation, and I have a very secure job. In this economy it is very comforting to not have to worry about my job.
Jon started a new semester on January 4th. We are especially grateful that he past his politcal science stats class last semester so he wont have to retake it this semester...which leaves room for more interesting classes. So far Jon is enjoying his classes.
TODAY - Jon and I went to the dr. office and heard our little baby's heart beat! YUP...I'm pregnant. I am due August 6th. Jon and I are so grateful for this wonderful baby that has blessed our lives. I can't even tell you how excited we were the day I took the pregnancy test and found out. Our joy has only continued to grow each day. Today helped make the whole experience real. I was afraid for a while that this pregnancy was a figment of my imagination, but when the dr put the doppler on my belly and found a strong healthy heart beat (180/min), it became so real. I have been on cloud-9 all day. I can't even go into detail how extactic both of us are.
I personally have had a little morning sickness, but nothing really to complain about. I have learned that I need to eat first thing in the morning and every 2 hours after that. Ironically food is the last thing I want to think about now that I have to be constently eating. But any discomfort that I am feeling is worth the sacrafice for our precious baby.
