1+1=3 (plus a dog!)

Well I have decided that me and Justin love adventures and sometimes our adventures mix into one, big, crazy adventure! Like I said in previous posts me and Justin decided to get a puppy. We have been wanting one for quite some time and felt like now was as good of a time as any to do it! Well, a week before we went and picked up our puppy from Arizona we started another adventure and I found out that I'M PREGNANT! We are so so excited, we just didn't think we would be training a puppy and be dealing with morning or rather 24/7 sickness all at the same time! It has definitely been a challenge and there has been days where the pregnancy hormones are at a high and the tears of being overwhelmed have flowed like crazy! (Today being one of those days) But we couldn't be more excited!

Sam(Samantha) our puppy has actually done pretty good! She is about 12 weeks now and she sleeps through the night (except last night!) She is pretty much house broken minus the few accidents here and there when we stop watching her for like 2.5 seconds, she doesn't completely hate her crate, and she does so good on our walks and she knows mine and Justin's voice and kinda listens to us. Vizsla's our high energy dogs so we have gotten on a schedule with her and every morning and every night before she gets fed we take her on walks. This has been helpful to me cause it keeps me working out! She has been a good dog so far but there might be a little jealousy when the baby comes though! (I will post pictures on my next blog they are all still on the camera)

As far as the pregnancy goes, well its going. I am 11 weeks and praying that in the next week or two this sickness goes away! I'm sure there are woman out there that have it worse then I do but I have gotten to the point where I feel like I constantly have to eat so my stomach doesn't get empty and I throw up about 2-3 times a day. I haven't gotten on the nausea medications or anything but if this doesn't go away soon I will be definitely talking to my doctor about that one. My sense of smell has been a challenge as well! Sometimes I can't even stand the smell of the dog so poor Justin has been taking care of her a lot lately! You really don't realize the crazy changes your body goes through until you experience it first hand! It has definitely been a new adventure for me and Justin but we are looking forward to this little miracle and all the blessings that come with it!

Here is the poem that we used to tell our parents! We waited until I had at least one doctors appointment and it was close enough to Mother's Day we decided to wait and tell our families then. We got each of them 2 balloons, one pink and one blue and attached this poem to it. Justin's parent had to read some of the poem before they figured it out, my family saw the balloons and knew! (And PS I didn't write the poem I found it)

I do not have a face to see, 


Or put inside a frame.

I do not have soft cheeks to kiss; 


I don't yet have a name. 



You can't hold my tiny hands, 


Nor whisper in my ear. 


It's still too soon to sing a song, 


Or cuddle me so near. 



But all will change come December 12th, 


When they say I'm due.

I'm your new grandson or granddaughter; 


I can't wait till I meet you. 


All I ask between now and then 


Is your patience while I grow. 


I promise I'll be worth the wait, 


Because of all the love we'll know.

So as you're waiting patiently, 


Please pray lots of prayers for me. 


I cannot wait to be a part 


Of this wonderful family!

Love, Baby Lefler
