Thank you & WINNER!!

Thank you all so much for all your congratulations and wonderful support! We are so excited about this pregnancy! And I am excited now that everyone knows! It's been a fun week! I told extended friends and family last weekend, my co-wokers last Tuesday, my blog last Wednesday, and today I finally "came out" on facebook.

I have been feeling so much better the last couple weeks. Hardly any nausea, and more energy (with the exception of this Tuesday when I was SO nauseous!) We had our 15 week check-up today and it went great! The baby's heartbeat was 150 bpm, which the Dr said was in the normal range. I was so overcome with relief and joy that I was tearing up on the car ride to work! Jay had a big smile on his face too! :) I just feel so blessed and can't believe that this is really happening! 

Today at work we had birthday lunch. The second Thursday of every month we have birthday lunch to celebrate the birthdays of the people whose special days fall that month! It is always a different "theme" which is really fun. Today was Salad Bar, and my plate was piled so high...and I finished the whole thing. I was getting teased for being such a pigger: "eating for two already?", but I didn't care I was HUNGRY!! But somehow I still managed to have room for cake and ice cream. Hee hee!!
Now onto the Giveaway: (Note I did not enter my relatives or people I know IRL). I'm not techno-savvy enough to figure out how to do the drawing for the winner of my giveaway electronically, so I did it the old fashioned way. I typed up all your names, cut them out, and put them in a cowboy hat! 
As I was folding the slips of paper in half I said a prayer for each of you that I know is still TTC, that God will answer the desires of your heart. And for the rest of you I prayed for you and your families. I am so thankful to have met and gotten to know so many of you! And now, without further ado, the winner of the Target gift card and boiled p-nut package is: 
Congratulations!! I hope you enjoy! :) I hope everyone has a great weekend!

I really enjoyed reading your blog. I have a few blogs of my own and I always look at other people’s blogs for great ideas. In fact, not to sound like an advertisement, but if I were you, I would submit this blog to http://www.AutoSurfMonster.com and let thousands of others see it for free. I get a lot of traffic and readers from them for my blogs. Anyways, I have added this blog to my social bookmark and I look forward to all the updates.

Yeah,on the heart beat. Congrat to Love being a Nonny. I hope you love those boil peanuts. Fresh ones are much better, but you will get a general idea. My dad use to say he didn't like them, but he sure cooked them and ate them by the very large bowl full.
