Energy Crisis

It's amazing how such a little thing can deplete your energy. I've always thought that it was only after a woman was large and obviously pregnant that she'd be tired. I thought, of course she's tired she's lugging around a huge belly all day. I never imagined how tired I'd be in the beginning months when our baby is only the size of a prune. I can't even do a sink full of dishes in the morning without needing a two hour break afterward. I am really thankful that I'm able to take those frequently needed breaks throughout the day. I can't imagine working a full time job feeling like this. Every morning, I start out with a grand plan of being more active and getting more done. And then I hit a wall by lunch, and I find myself on the couch watching Oprah again. I've read that once we hit the 2nd trimester in two weeks my energy level will increase. I sure hope so because I'm ready to have some of my energy back.

Full of Surprises

I love the fact that Ryan is full of surprises. I woke up this morning to an email inviting me to be part of this blog. I opened up the blog and saw that Ryan had created a joint blog for us to document our pregnancy and future family adventures. I've been neglecting my "My Life in Oz" blog lately since it's difficult for me to write without giving our secret away. We aren't ready to announce our pregnancy yet, and since it's in the forefront of our minds, it's almost impossible to write about our recent adventures without mentioning the bub. So, this blog will be our forum for writing about our little peanut.

We took our first official pregnancy pictures yesterday.

10 weeks pregnant

Welcome to the first post of our new blog. It is a surprise to Cristi and baby on the way. It's going to be a place to document the pregnancy, and birth in a few weeks! :-) Signing off for now.
