First Post

So yesterday? Yesterday was the day from Hell. Being that we are 19 weeks pregnant (due Dec. 27th, 2010) with our first baby, emotions and hormones run on maximum speed lately :D. It's a lot of stress, tears, and more stress. But don't get me wrong I wouldn't change a thing about it.

We're (Joel and I) are hoping to bring a beautiful little girl into this messed up but still kind of amazing world. If it's a girl, her name will be Evelyne Versailles. If on the off chance my cousin Tonya wins all the bets my biological family has placed, we will have a handsome little man named Joel Weston. We have our ultrasound August 19th, and then we will know for sure. Hehe, providing my child isn't too modest :D.

Due to the fact I hate this house we live in, and Joel working almost 70 hours a week, we are moving to Berlin in a few short weeks. We found an awesome apartment for $345 a month with everything included. It's such a steal, and in way better shape than my house. It's small, but we're on a month to month lease so we'll move again when the baby is out of the bassinet. And lets face it, I just don't have the energy to take care of a house right now.

Being pregnant can be a real drag. I'm always sleepy, my baby thinks my bladder is a trampoline and she's an acrobat waiting to happen, and the hormones make Joel and I a little crazy. But again, the perks of hearing her heartbeat, feeling her move and react to my voice and my mood, are all far more than worth it.

I love to learn about all the things that are going on with her. She can cry, swallow, sleep, smile, hear and move, how can you tell me life doesn't happen until birth? She's such an amazing girl, I can't wait to meet her.

If in fact Evelyne is an Evelyne and not a Joel, she's going to have a Tinker Bell nursery! Purple and green with fairies all over! I'm excited, the Disney Princess's just don't have the kind of spunk and courage I want my baby to see and love.

I know she's going to have a wonderful personality. She has three great and very different families that she's going to grow up around. 2 baby cousins her age to grow up with, and lots of Aunts and Uncles and cousins that are older than her to teach her about life. She's going to be the luckiest girl in the world to have Joel as her father ♥ . He's so good with kids and I can tell by the way he talks to her now that he is completely taken with her, totally wrapped around her finger from the start! And mostly, she's going to learn about God and with grace, she will be a great Godly woman.

Needless to say, we can't wait ♥ ♥ ♥
