Summer Nights

The other day was my first official day without nausea. I definitely wanted to take advantage of it, considering the past month has consisted of my bed and netflix. Don't get me wrong, its definitely worth it in the end, but I have been going a bit stir crazy in this house of ours. We spent the evening hiking up one of our most favorite places, Big Springs. It was a blast, just like always. 

As we were taking a rest, three dogs came sprinting up the trail to us, without an owner. I was freaked out, who knew if there were friendly or going to attack. Chad quickly picked up Bruno and I tried to push away the dogs. The owner came up a few seconds later and said the dogs were really friendly. We let Bruno down and he had the time of his life running around with his new friends. T'was a great night.

Baby DeVore

I feel like it's been forever since I posted! We have been busy doing other things.... like making a BABY!!! That's right, baby DeVore is on it's way and we couldn't be more excited... or shocked. Let me tell you, making a baby is hard stuff. I always thought you would just get sick in the morning, maybe throw up a couple times, and then be OK. I wish it could be that simple. The whole month of June consisted of me sleeping, puking, working, and sleeping. I never knew my body was capable of so much sleep. 14 hour naps started becoming a regular and a must. I'm happy to say I am finally able to stay vertical for most of the day now. 

Let's jump back to the beginning... Chad and I had just gotten back from San Francisco, and I was a few days late on my lady cycle. I figured it was normal since it had been coming a few days late the last few months. After a couple days, I was getting kind of worried and decided to take a pregnancy test. To my relief, the test came back negative. We continued on with our lives. A couple nights later, I was sitting at Chad's softball game and I had the thought to take another test. Maybe I did the first one wrong? Maybe it was a dudd? I told Chad my thoughts after the game and he insisted to immediately to go get not only one, but two more. We have never been so anxious to see the results on a test.

We were both in complete shock!! I have never seen Chad so anxious/nervous/excited/speechless all at the same time. It was actually quite hilarious. Even though we got 2 positive pregnancy tests, it was still hard for us to believe it. I went to the Dr. the next morning to get a definite answer... Baby DeVore was already 5 weeks along!

 Chad and I were not planning on getting pregnant. If it were up to us, we probably wouldn't be considering parenthood for a couple years. But our plan and God's plan don't always match up. Honestly, I am grateful for the Lord's timing and I know everything is supposed to happen when it does. 

I am currently 10 weeks and hoping the nausea leaves with the first trimester. Baby DeVore is due Feb 3, 2015 and we honestly couldn't be more excited! We are so happy for this new stage in our lives!!
