Lots to Celebrate

This week we have what seems to be a lot to celebrate... First about baby... I am now 11 weeks along. Very excited to be almost done with the first trimester. I have been feeling MUCH (about 90%) better now a days, no more mornining sickness at all. The only thing now is I have been getting a lot of headaches. I think as long as I keep some food in my tummy at all times they mostly go away.
As far as I read, the baby is about the size of a Lime now, which seems really big to me. But thats great. I am very excited to get a baby belly and wish it would come faster, I know i will probably regret saying that once i do have a big belly. As far as right now, when I wake up in the morning, I feel like I have no bump at all. By the time the day goes on, probably cuz i get food in there, by the end of the day my belly is defiintally sticking out. Weird.
I did get my maternity work clothes in the mail since my uniform I have now barley fits anymore. The work uniform for maternity clothes are hiddious. I am going to hold off on wearing them for as long as I possibly can cuz I hate them. There is a dress I can order too so I might try to order that and see if it fits any better.

News about me, well the other day I went into work and was pulled into one of our big head hancho managers office, I was then told that the lady who does our training classes right now accepted a new position in scheduling and they needed to replace her. So, the manager got together with her top advisors and told them to come up with a few names of Agents that they thought would be good for the trainer job. Apperently my name was brought up with ALL the advisors. So she offered me (and three others) the job. Of course I accepted. Eventually, I will be helpling teach ART classes (annual reacurrant training) , that involes hazmat, dangerous goods and ect. type of classes. They asked me to help out when they needed it. Which it sounds like might not be until September. So as of right now I will still be at the gates and doing my regularly scheduled work unless they need me in the training room.

Jason also had a very good week at work. He had enough hours and experiance in the sector (i hope i get this all right) that he was training in and he took his big test (check ride) to see if he could now work alone in that sector. Which he passed. He passed this test and I got my Promotion on the same day. What a day to celebrate, Unfortunitally we were both at work and couldn't celebrate together. ha ha.. I am very proud of Jason and know he worked really hard to pass this portion of his training. Hopefully only 5 or 6 more months and maybe he will be fully certified.

Thats all for now. This message got to be a lot longer than I thought it would be. Thanks for reading. Hope you enjoyed

Happy News

For those who don't know yet, we are expecting. We are due january 18th and very excited about it. So far things are going great! I am 10 weeks along at this point and couldnt be doing any better.

The first two months I had morning sickness (more like all day sickness) all the time, everyday. However, ever since last week, it has gotten a ton better. Still get it everyonce and a while but not as bad as before.

So far I am donig good on weight gain. I have gained only 2 lbs so far. And proud of that. I know i will definitally need to gain more later on but for now, 2lbs is fine by me. I think both those lbs went right to my lovehandles.. Oh well. Its worth it.

Today, June 23rd, we got to go to our first OB appointment. I got a full Physical (everything is great) and got to hear the heartbeat of the baby. It was one of the coolest things we have ever heard. A lot of my fears have now gone away, so that is a huge weight lifted off our shoulders. The doc kept saying "it is still early, so dont be suprised if we cant hear the heartbeat" then as he searched for it he kept finding mine.. then all of a sudden there it was. Man it was cool. The heartbeat was 160 which doc says is good.

For now that is all to report. I will post some pics in a few weeks when my baby bump actually starts to show more. For now, it seems that in the mornings I am not showing at all but by the end of the day, i feel like i have a big baby belly. So I dont know.

Love ya all lots,

Danielle & Jason
