The Eggo is Preggo

Such a scary thought, isn't it?! So here are the deets. We found out back in the beginning of June that I was preggo, went into the doctor this last Friday, and are expecting to have a baby on February 9, 2011 (give or take). So far, there seems to be no problems with the baby, and I have only thrown up a total of 3 times! However, there are days where I wish I was able to puke.

It has been a very long, nerve-wracking, and exciting weekend telling our parents and all. I cannot begin to even describe the emotion of fears that are flowing through me. I can hardly manage work and school without stressing out, how in the world am I going to be a good wife, mother, student, and worker?! Justin and I know that it's going to be a huge challenge having a baby, attending school, and working, but at the same time we know it will be a life changing experience that will be worth it (hopefully).

As frightened as I am, there is still a feeling of excitement, knowing that I am going to be a mom, and caring for another being, other than my husband. There are many things I am going to miss about being married without children (ex: SLEEPING, going out whenever we want, etc.) But, it will be a humbling experience.

Justin hopes it's a boy, I hope it's a girl, but I keep hearing that boys are so much easier to take care of. We'll have to compare and contrast with Sean & Rachel's experience (they just recently had a little boy last Sunday, baby Dean), with Jeff & Tammy's experience raising girls (my brothers and sisters in laws).

Here's the first look of the next member of the McKissick family.



P.S. Happy Birthday to my loving husband Justin (7/17) and Mommy dearest(7/18)!!!
