Halloween Costumes


We just wanted to share this year's Halloween costumes with everyone.

Mark and I have always said that we were going to wait 5 years before having kids. Apparently God decided that this was a good plan as well. We went to the doctor today and I am 11 weeks pregnant and my due date is May 29. One day after our 5 anniversary! That is if everything is on schedule. My doctor said that everything looked really good. We go back at the beginning of January to find out the sex of the baby.
We have known that I was pregnant for several weeks and it has been a VERY hard secret to keep but we wanted to wait to tell most people until we went to the doctor for the first time.
I never thought that I would have a reason to start a blog but I thought that this would be a fun way for our families to keep up with what is going on. I also plan to use this as a "scrapbook" for the baby.
For those of you that care, I have been pretty much sick all the time. I haven't actually gotten sick but feel nauseous all of the time. I have been eating non-stop because that is the only thing that makes my stomach feel better. I know that it will pass (at least I hope) but sometimes I just want to curl up in a little ball.
Mark and I are very excited and feel very blessed that God has given us this gift!
More to come soon...

    Tara!!! How exciting! I was hoping that this would be what the blog said! What a wonderful blessing.

    As far as sickness, I was sick with all 3, and I found that Zofran was extremely helpful. I was able to work at SWA while taking it b/c it didn't make me groggy. Actually, I took it all three pregnancies. And would take it again in a heartbeat. (If I ever had another.)

    Come see me when you're home, and remember my camera loves prego bellies. :)

    how exciting for you both!! i love how aunt karen is trying to decide on what they'll be called as grandparents. you could always suggest that the child decide--- that's how my kids' grandpas ended up being called "baboo"!!!
    :) caroline was trying to say 'grandpa' and the name stuck...!
    praying for rest and relief from nausea for you, tara. love, cousin amy in GA
