8 weeks along

As of yesterday I am 8 weeks pregnant and counting down until the BIG DAY (September 10th ish). Here's what are little poe-nut looks like.

I've got lots of reading to do!

Now that I am embarking on this new adventure of pregnancy and motherhood, I thought it approriate to start reading up on things I honestly have NO CLUE about. You know you learn these things in a textbook and learn the anatomy of strange parts of the body but the actual experience of it is completely different. It seems all kinds of things are up for grabs with what to expect with pregnancy and you just need to know how to deal with them. Anyway, here is a list of books that have been recommended to me for reading:

1) What to expect when you're expecting
2) Baby Whisperer
3) Baby Wise
4) Girlfriends guide to pregnancy
5) Children's Vaccinations
6) Another box of books sent from Jean Clemens that I just received! Yeah!

Any recommendations as to which one(s) you felt were the most helpful? Least helpful?

Sincerely, Need Help :)

Surprise!

I don't know how else to say this but...We're Pregnant!!! This is a surprise to many a people (including us :) ) but are happy all the same. We kept waiting for that perfect time to start having children but come to find out humans don't seem to think there's a perfect time so God plans it for them. Am I right everyone? Tell me how many of your kids were ACTUALLY planned? :) Well we've joined many a couple and are now going to be parents. I am officially due September 10. Funny thing too, that's my brother Aarons birthday! :)

Running in Alaska

Winter running isn't for everyone, even me from time to time when it is 20 below outside!!! Jasper was driving me nuts so I knew I had to brave the cold weather and get on the trails with him. This is how to dress when it's super cold.
