March Madness

As you can tell by my lack of posting, March has been a crazy busy month for Keith and I. The new shortened semesters at BYU-I can really kill you! We can see the end though, our official last day is April 10th and at this point, it really can't come any sooner. I've decided to go to school this summer and finish up in the fall with my Bachelors in Health Science (emphasis in Public Health) which I'm really excited about! Keith is going to take a little time off and study for the DAT (the dental test) then hopefully get an internship here in Rexburg. It's been so cold and we cannot wait for the snow to melt.
So I've been pretty sick lately and at first I joked about it being morning sickness. A few weeks later, the naseua wasn't so funny anymore and the pregnancy test came positive!! You could definitely say it was an unplanned miracle but Keith and I are really excited. I'm glad that we dated so long and knew each other so well when we got married. I think it really helped prepare us for the news. Keith and I weren't going to say anything until 3 months but my mom happens to have a pregnancy radar and can detect it like you wouldn't believe.
I had my first ultrasound on Tuesday with Dr. Lovell and will post the picture as soon as I can get it to my parents and transfer it to the computer. It was so scary to know that I was pregnant until I saw the ultrasound and the little heart beating. What an amazing thing! The due date is October 31st which makes me 9 weeks today. I can't complain, Keith's been really good helping me out around the house because I've honestly been so tired. If I can, I go to bed around 8:30 and don't wake up until 7:30. Poor Keith gets to experience all of my wrath when he wakes me up from my naps! The morning sickness is almost at it's end though, just one more month and it should get better. The Doc. told me to stop taking prenatals until I'm out of the first trimester and that's definitely helped.
Did I mention we're so excited! We feel so blessed to have the opportunity to be parents. If anyone has advice for good exercise to do while pregnant, it would be greatly appreciated, actually I could use any advice at all!
