Baby Hooker Arriving in December!

I was MIA this month on posting, and I finally get to share the secret I was keeping… I’m excited to share Charles and I are expecting our first baby in December! Cue the happy tears! 

We were both excited and surprised by the news! It still feels surreal! I shared a little background as we planned our wedding, and I want to do the same as I go through pregnancy. So, here’s a pregnancy update:

When are you due? We are due on December 24th, and I’m currently 14 weeks as I write this post.

How have you been feeling? Tired and pretty queasy. I have been opting for afternoon naps whenever I could fit it in my schedule — they have been a lifesaver.

Are you craving anything? The first thing I craved was ice water, and this was before I knew I was pregnant. I drink my water room temperature or without ice, and all of a sudden I wanted my water extremely cold. I thought it was because the weather was getting hot, but nope… I was pregnant. Other than that, I have been craving red meat quite a bit — I’m usually a chicken kind of girl. I have no desire to eat salad or cold greens. I want my vegetables (specifically greens) cooked and hot — I normally love raw veggies. 

Are you finding out the gender? As of now, yes. Charles and I talked about this before we got pregnant, and I thought I wouldn’t want to find out. After having our first ultrasound, I turned to him and said that I might change my mind. The more we talk about it, the more I see us finding out the gender. So, yes… But who knows.

I think that is it for now! We are both so grateful for this blessing in our life, and so excited to enjoy this season!
