7 weeks 3 days

Time sure is flying by fast!

Both Shad and I kept really busy this weekend. We went to an air show on Saturday and saw the Thunderbirds. It was a really nice day for an activity like that, but I have to say that I was somewhat dissappointed in them. Most of their show was good, but the show was stopped long before the Thunderbirds were even ready to go and then they didn't do their signature Bomb Burst, which I was expecting them to do.

Saturday evening was my first bout with nausea. I've noticed over the last few weeks that I tend to feel the worst in the afternoon/early evening hours. However, on Saturday, I actually felt nauseated. Thankfully, I was able to sleep it off and it didn't last very long. I was well enough to eat a barbeque sandwich from Slick Pig for a late dinner!

For Mother's Day on Sunday, we went to my mom's and made her and my aunt a late lunch/early dinner and visited for a while. Surprisingly, I even received a gift (set of picture albums) from Richard along with a few cards for Mother's Day myself. I sure wasn't expecting that!

Other than the nausea on Saturday, my biggest symptom has been fatigue. Sometimes it's in the morning, sometimes in the evenings and sometimes all day long. Overall, I'd have to say that I'm having a pretty easy pregnancy. I'll feel much better after we have the sonogram done on May 26, though! I think I may tell my boss and co-workers after that appointment...assuming all goes well!

I think we're ready to move forward on buying a house. We now need to set up an appointment with the mortgage lender and update him on where we stand. If everything looks good to him, we just need to get approved, which should be no problem. We're also waiting on our realtor to get her contractor's license. She's planning on taking her test on May 23 and, if she passes, will be ready to go about June 6. If all of that goes well, we'll be first looking into building a house. If not, then we'll probably just stick with buying an already built home. As for Shad's job change...we still haven't heard anything from his boss, so nothing's changed there. Please continue to keep that in your prayers! We would appreciate it very much!
