So, there he/she is!

We actually found out from a home pregnancy test on January 1 (which Alex insists I can throw away now that we have pictures!) We decided to keep it on the low-down for a while since it was so early, though immediate families (who didn't know we were trying) got phone calls right away. Now that I've had my first appointment & know that all is well, we're going public (which is a euphemism for shouting it from the rooftops!)

I'm at 10 weeks 4 days according to the ultrasound, and baby Tracy is due September 8. I've been super-lucky in terms of not having morning sickness or other extreme symptoms. I'm tired sometimes, I get indigestion easily, I have some moodiness, my boobs hurt, and I'm breaking out more than usual. All things considered, though, it ain't bad. :)

Oh, and we swear it was dancing on the ultrasound.

After a very good first doctor's visit, Alex and I are ready to go public.

I'm PREGNANT!!!

Ultrasound photo to follow after dinner. :)

Sick bun :(

We think that Benji has E cuniculi, which is a parasite that affects the neurological system. His hind legs seem to just stop working periodically, and then a few minutes later, he hops around like his normal self. That started Saturday, and he spent the day at the vet Monday for observation. Now he keeps holding his head turned to the left - not tilted, just turned - and his eyes move back and forth as though he's reading a teleprompter. Again, it happens for a minute or two, and then he acts normally again. It's hard to diagnose and hard to treat, but we've left a message for the vet asking for some medication to try, even if she' s not sure it will work.

I'm worried about our little guy, and we would appreciate prayers.

Snow day: It's a beautiful thing.

Testing, 1, 2...

I'm starting a little late on my resolution to blog, but it's been an interesting year so far. The things most on my mind are a little private at the moment. Nothing to worry about...all shall be revealed soon. ;)
