It's been awhile!

I can't believe I haven't updated in sooo long! Ray got back in September from overseas. It was so good to have him home! We had planned to make a week or so trip to Michigan to visit family and go to the Michigan Vs. Michigan State college football game in early October, but things didn't work out exactly as planned, I couldn't get the time off of work, but I was able to get October 6th off (friday) so we flew out to Michigan that day and flew back early Sunday! One WHOLE day in Michigan, haha.. It's okay though, I'll take what I can get, any time with my family is wonderful. We ended up losing the football game, BUMMER. We didn't do that great this season, but it has been better than the last couple of seasons. I do have a pretty rad boss at work, and he lets us have the weekends off, so I have got to enjoy my weekends off of work since working there ALMOST a year now! Anyways, Ray and I found out I'M PREGNANT on 10/20/2010! I seriously couldn't believe it! Some of the best news I have ever heard in my life! I was soo happy but really nervous to talk about it so early in the pregnancy. I told my family and close friends, I posted it online a couple weeks later cause I couldn't hold it in any longer! I waited to officially tell my bosses at work until early December. I'm starting to show now and it just feels so weird. Being pregnant isn't exactly how I thought it was going to be. I never really thought about how hard it is to accept that you're gaining weight, I have always been obsessed with not wanting to gain weight and now you're supposed to and it's just weird to get used to! Once I REALLY start showing and people can actually tell "she's pregnant" instead of "is she pregnant!?" i'll feel a lot better. I've barely had morning sickness, just a few gagging incidents with certain sights or smells.. (the dishes!) I've had some ultrasounds and we found out February 4th we're having a BABY GIRL! We haven't officially chosen THE name yet, but we have ideas. I'm soo excited because in about a month we'll be in Michigan for the baby shower! It's April 2nd, and I got approved for 2 weeks off of work, I seriously can't wait! My pregnancy has gone by REALLY fast! I'm 22 weeks today! I have had a lot of gas (TMI) during this pregnancy, so it's been really hard to tell if I was feeling baby or gas, but now I can tell it's BABY! It helps because I have some friends who are pregnant (and further along than me) so I kind of know what to expect. P.S. our E.D.D. is July 3rd! Can you believe it? MY BIRTHDAY.. I have nooo idea how we timed that! haha
