As many of you know now, Brad and I are expecting our first baby in October! Our Expected Due Date is October 8, 2009, so I just started my 17th week of pregnancy today!  I thought I would take a minute to answer a few questions that most people ask me right off the bat when they see me: I am feeling wonderful and had barely any morning sickness, other than the occasional bout of nausea if I let myself get too hungry (or ate too much, for that matter)!  I gained about 10 pounds in my first trimester, but I contribute this to immediately quitting Weight Watchers the day I found out I was pregnant! I continue to go to Curves and my appetite has curbed and so far in T2 I haven’t been too out of control with my weight gain!  Another piece of information: Yes, we will be finding out the gender of the baby at our 22 week appointment in early June.  Stay tuned for that big announcement, too!  I hope to post regularly (but you’ve heard that before) in order to keep everyone updated, and will try to send out an E-mail whenever I add a new post.  I can’t promise that I won’t include some other information (like how much I love Adam Lambert on American Idol or pictures of the animals). As for now, I will post a picture “timeline” of the series of events since finding out we were pregnant!  Thank you to everyone for your support and excitement for us in this new and surreal stage in our lives together! Everyday the experience gets a little more real and I look forward to sharing it with all of you! Love, Joslyn
