Tears for Tebow

Its Sunday at 11am and I have already cried 3 times today.  Welcome to my house of hormones.  First, we were on our way home from church and Tom said something that really should not have upset me, but today it did.  I cried all the way home, it was a pretty good rain shower here at the Witkop house.  After I got cleaned up from that cry-fest, we made a grocery list and Tom went to the store (I know, I have the best husband ever!). 

While he was gone, I was channel flipping and found an ESPN story about Tim Tebow.  It was his story about the time before the draft, and all that he had done to prepare.  Before I knew it, I was sobbing during the show saying things like "Nobody believed in him", "Run, Tebow, Run", and "You go Tebow, you show them all!"

Tom comes home to a tear-streaked wife, smiling saying "Tom, he got drafted!  Nobody thought he would!  He did it!"  Did I mention that I have seen this story 3 times and this was the only time I cried, I guess I'm officially emotional.  Tom has been great during all these changes, but I think this one even shocked him a bit.  He still doesn't quite get it, but he's very supportive about my Tears for Tebow.

The Box

Its time for "the box."  Every woman that has had a baby knows all about "the box." I have officially started my box (actually its a tub) of clothes that I can no longer fit into.  Contents of "the box" are currently a pair of jeans and sweatpants.  I still claim that the jeans only don't fit because I dried them and they shrunk (please just smile and nod :) ). 

I still don't know what happened with the sweatpants!  I thought sweatpants would be my main wardrobe throughout this pregnancy,  I can't lose my sweatpants!  I have a freakish fascination with sweatpants, I change into them the minute I get home and even attend church in them.  I love my sweatpants!  I almost cried when I put them into the tub, but Tom insisted.  I would kept them out of box for a couple more weeks but Tom saw the indent they left on my growing belly and insisted.

The box is only just begun!  I'm sure the first cut is the deepest!

First Ultrasound

We had our first ultrasound on December 14.  Everything was great, we were able to see the baby in the sac.  Then we saw what we were looking for, seeing the heartbeat was amazing!!  Tom and I were just so amazed!  We could have looked at it for days.  Everything looked good this time around!  Praying for a healthy pregnancy and beautiful baby.

Morning sickness hit full force this week and other symptoms include huge/sore boobs, constant hunger, and tiredness.  Thats ok, as far as I'm concerned I'll take all I can get.  All these are good signs for a healthy pregnancy so I'll live with it with the final goal in mind!

Meet the Parents

This was taken the week we found out I was pregnant.  For those of you who know us there is a little extra in those smiles.  No real symptoms yet, but I'm sure they will come.
