I think we are finally starting to settle into life as parents. Both of us are running on little sleep. I just have to say Jonathan is such a good husband and such a loving father. I am still pumping and so he helps out so much during the overnight feedings so I don't have to be up any longer then I have to. How is Jacob you might ask? Well, he is such a sweet baby. Fussy, but not too fussy. He is quite the eater and likes to eat every three hours NO MATTER WHAT. And he lets you know if you are not fixing the bottle fast enough. That boy has lungs!
Because we are getting bombarded with hospital bills and we have a new little one getting out and about is not an easy or feasible task, so we are eating in a lot. I am playing domestic diva and cooking a lot of homemade meals courtesy of pioneer woman cooks. The last meal I cooked was the sundried tomato pasta salad. I forgot to take a picture of how it turned out but it looks almost spot on like Ree's on her blog. Let me tell you what! This is a divine pasta and it just keeps getting better each and every day. The first day it was good, the second day is was very good, the third day it was coma inducing good. OMG I am getting excited just thinking about how good it was.
Tonight I am making this burger. I will try to remember to take a picture of it and post it later on.

Big Ultra Sound Today!
There is our baby! It's a boy! Say hello to Jacob. I am so excited! I have always pictured myself being a boy mom. I am a tiny bit sad that I won't get to do any of the girl stuff but I am so proud and happy to be having a little boy.

Sick as a dog and Thanksgiving time!
I still am in the process of finding an OB/GYN as my old doctor just quite practicing OB and so now I am up a creek without a paddle. I have been trying to get into a doctor since last Wednesday and they still haven't called me back with a confirmed appointment. According to this calculator I am 8 weeks along and sick as a dog. As the days progress I just become sicker longer. I also think I pulled something in my groin area (TMI perhaps?) it hurts like the dickens. I am having small cramps that are freaking me out and I am panicking over everything I do that might hurt the baby. :)
With Thanksgiving just around the corner it's taking everything I have to get prepared. I went to the grocery store yesterday to gather ingredients for the stuff I am making I was so nauseous the room was spinning. It has fallen upon me this year to be the baker so I am making 4 deserts and a casserole. It cost me $60 in supplies! What is the deal!? I almost passed out when they gave me the total.

Update
It feels like it's been a long time since I posted here. I don't know if anyone is still visiting. -waves furiously if so-
A lot has been happening in my life lately which is so exciting! My little world is so boring I find myself being one of those old ladies (I am 24) who peeks out their window at what the neighbors are doing just for some entertainment. But shhhh don't tell.
As some of you know I have stepped down from AMM DT to pursue some good things in my life. I struggle with depression and need to reign that in as my control over it has been slipping away (easy enough to deal with just need to focus) and I am trying to spawn a little Becca/Jonathan. This second task has been my greatest challenge. I have had a long road. It started on October 13th of 2007 when me and the hubs finally decided that it was time for children. The excitement that followed was palatable. I was on 5 different medications at the time and needed to be stripped bare of all of them. So I stepped down off of them gradually but even then I would liken my experience to getting of hard drugs (though my knowledge of this is just through what I have seen on TV). I took a trip to the ER because of my reaction to getting off these pills. They were as helpful as ever and told me there was nothing they could do about it and sent me on my way, but not before they took my money...oh no can't forget to take the money! -grumble grumble good for nothing grumble- So my next hurtle would prove to be my monthly. For some reason it went on vacation and never came back. It must of liked the hotel service. I go in for test after test and my arm was beginning to look like Swiss cheese and my body nothing but a shriveled raisin with how much blood they took. In the end I was diagnosed with mild dyspalsia and pre diabetes. They put me on meds for that and my monthly returned! Now one year and one month after I began my struggle to obtain motherhood I might have finally reached the holy grail. Good news might be coming soon!
