Almost at the end of the 1st trimester!!

To say that being pregnant is hard is an understatement... That being said, I don't see how some people make it look so easy! However, getting "almost" to the end of my first trimester, I'm starting to feel almost back to my normal self. It's hard to believe how fast this pregnancy has already gone by, and I am sure that the next few months are going to go by even faster!

So, everyone is asking "What are you hoping for? Boy or Girl?" and at the risk of sounding vain, I'm team PINK all the way! Most people just say "I don't care, as long as its healthy," and yes, I am primarily concerned with this baby's health first and foremost... but I have that underlying longing for a girl to wear pretty sun dresses and hair bows! If it turns out to be a boy, I know that I will love him just the same! :)

We have been so blessed with the outpouring of love from our friends and family, and I cannot imagine life without them! Chris's parents have offered to help with watching the baby, and a family friend has offered to help the rest of the time, and that has eliviated most of our worries about expenses. The last huge hurdle we will have to figure out is insurance for the baby- Chris's work insurance is SOOOO expensive, and I am on my parents plan until i'm 26, but to figure out what to do with the babe has been our biggest stressor yet! So if you all have any ideas or suggestions, let us know!
