Finishing up the summer with a BANG...

Wow...summer has flown by! Tyler and I have been very busy and my blog has been neglected. It has been a whirlwind few weeks! Tyler took his oh so important boards at the end of June. He did VERY well and we are excited to see what opportunities come his way for all of his hard work. Also, he has started rotations for his 4th (and last!!!) year of Med School. He has worked so hard and done such a good job over these past 4 years...I am so proud of him! Ok, Let me do a quick cathch up on the end of summer.

At the end of June we were able to make a quick trip to Gatlinburg (which we loved) to share in one last wedding of the summer. Our friends Max and Sara were married in a little chapel at the top of a mountain. The views were breathtaking! If you look closely in the background you can catch a glimpse. The drive up and down the mountain was a little scary but totally worth the view! Max is in Tyler's class and we have been friends with him and Sara since we moved here. The are a great couple and we look forward to enjoying the rest of the school year with them.


In other BIG news Tyler and I found out that we are going to be parents in March!!! I am due March 21st to be exact. We got to see our little jelly bean for the first time on August 10th. The heart rate was 158 (very good!) and the baby was measuring right on time. In this picture I am 8 weeks along.

I am about 10 weeks now and am doing pretty good. I sleep ALOT and have been battling nausea pretty badly but hoping things will get better soon! Zofran has become my best friend...ha! Because of my heart issues the baby and I will be followed very closely. I will be seeing my OB here mostly but going to the high risk OB in Roanoke a few times. We are very excited and can't wait to meet this little one! I have my next ultrasound in 2 weeks. It is a little more detailed and will check for any genetic problems such as downs syndrome. So far everything is looking good and we pray everyday for a health pregnancy and baby.
