Yes, We Are Expecting!!

So, the news is out. We are having a BABY! I know, right? We really cannot believe it! I just wanted to post here for a little bit, and let you know what has been going on with us as of late :)

Finding out we were pregnant:
I found out pretty early on(about 4 weeks). I had been feeling pretty funky, overly tired, and having weird cramps, that felt different somehow. We decided to take a test, and sure enough, instantly positive. I took another to make sure, and there, again, another positive. My initial reaction was to just lay on my bed, and cry a little, because I could not believe I actually could be a MOM! Ike was overjoyed. He seriously was so genuinely happy, it melted my heart!

Pregnancy Woes:
So far, I wish I could say that things have been rosy. They were, really, for about two weeks. Since then, I have lost ten pounds, and had a really tough time eating and keeping food down. I've tried just about every trick in the book, but I think sometimes people just have hard pregnancies for a little while. I just hope I'm almost over it! I'm out of the first trimester, so it should be subsiding a little, I hope ;). Food will stay down for me and taste so good, and then the next day, the same food that I thought was "good", will then make me vomit uncontrollably. So weird how that happens!

Morning sickness?? Sheesh I wish that's all it was! So far, I've glimpsed Morning sickness, Noon sickness, Afternoon sickness, Night sickness, and all-through-the-night sickness. This is pretty common with some moms too though, so I hear.

It IS getting better though, which I'm happy to share. I am eating more, keeping more down, and feeling genuinely better week to week.

Waiting to Share the News:
I told my immediate family right away. I could NOT. It was too exciting to share. I've heard multiple times that people will wait months before telling their family. I just couldn't wait, and I knew both sets of parents would be really mad that I waited so long to tell. As for the rest, I kept it really under wraps. With how sick I've been, I had to tell my boss, and many of my co-workers up front. I've missed a few days of work, and wanted to let them know.

I wanted to keep everything on the "down-low" because I was worried about miscarrying, especially on my first. 1 out of 4 miscarries these days, and I didn't want to have to share really good, and then really bad news simultanously. Now that I'm mostly out of that window, I feel really comfortable telling anyone and everyone! I really couldn't be happier for all that is happening lately!

Am I showing?? haha. I wish, but sadly, nope! Not at all yet, really! I FEEL bigger, and bloated, but there is no weight, or visible evidence to prove anything. YET ;)

Update by Ike

So I was checking out our blog and realized that it was a little out of date.  This is Isaac by the way for the first time ever.  I know right? Who would have thought that I would be blogging?  The thing I noticed that was out of date is that she said she just started working in Workforce Management... which is true.  But we all know Dani, no shoes are big enough for her (compliments of Jeff Facer :)).  She was promoted again!  Made me feel like a piece of you know what.  She is now the Director's Assistant for customer services. Kind of a big deal if you ask me.  She really is amazing and deserves it.

As for me, I'm taking 16 credits at UVU and working about 28-30 hours a week.  Pretty hectic but it's good.  I work in the Licensing Department which is surprisingly fun actually.  The people I work with in Licensing are great to work with.  I've made some good friends working there. 

This pic is of us on our way to Huntington Beach, CA.  We were there for Dani's graduation and we went to Disneyland as well. More pics to come.

More photos to come of our adventures!! Sorry for the delay! Waiting on a new camera cord to come from Amazon.

I CAN share, though, that I just was promoted!! No more Data Entry at Vivint. I loved that job, but am on to bigger and better. I am still at Vivint, which I love, but am in a new department that I really enjoy a lot more than I should. New title? Workforce Management Supervisor! Now, I manage the schedules of the huge call centers at Vivint and nag those employees who are lazy and make sure everyone is on task. It is going GREAT so far! Nothing like getting a raise, for a better, more-enjoyable job and atmosphere!
