A.O.K

Brent and I both had doctors appointments on Friday for his hand and the baby. He has been having problems with a large lump in his hand which was previously diagnosed as a bone spur in his joint, but it turns out it has to do with an infection that was in the hand a while ago and damaged the tendin. Needless to say the put a massive needle directly into his tendin and he has a strict regiment of topical creams and massage therapy. However this is good news for us seen as how if it had been a joint injury it would get continually worse and eventually be a career ender. After his appointment he had to take a day off and got to join me in my prenatal appointment where we got to hear our baby's heartbeat for the first time! It was a very exciting time and we are happy that all is well.

Watch out world...

In coming baby Brent! It's funny how since I have become pregnant it seems everyone needs to remind me of how rotten of a child my husband was... encouraging I know. Horror story's of him even in the womb have come to surface, some cracked ribs and rambunctious movements seem to be what I have to look forward to over the next six months. However despite the lack of encouraging words I know one thing... there is still hope, he CAN be trained! I already dodged one bullet by compromising with Brent his favorite name, Truck. It has now been established that this name is suitable for a nickname only. The baby is going to be a great blessing and I am happy to be carrying such a beautiful gift from God, once I get passed the whole first semester sickness and labor part. Otherwise it has been a lot of fun to share this exciting news with friends and family and I can't wait to get more news on our much anticipated bundle of joy.
