Oh baby! We're having a baby!

Yep!  It's true.  We are having a baby!  And we are glad that you found your way to this blog as well since we will be using it to spread the word on a regular basis.  Since much has happened prior to this post, I will catch you up using an brief FAQ.  Remember to check back often!

Were you planning on having a baby?
The short answer is not right now.  You could classify this as a surprise :)

Are you guys excited!?!?!?!
Oh yes.  The news was a bit of a shock so we've been an emotional roller coaster, but we are definitely excited.

How far along is Andrea?
The Nurse Practitioner told us on 5/28/09 that she is "officially" 7 weeks and 4 days along.

Are you hoping for a boy or a girl?
Well, honestly, we don't really have an opinion.  I think the shock is still wearing off so we haven't had the time to ponder this.  Of course, our primary concern is that the baby is healthy and so far things are going quite well.
  

When is the due date?
We were originally told that the due date is January 1st but this date has been adjusted to January 10th after the ultrasound.

How is Andrea feeling?  
Two words: tired and nauseous.  By tired I mean that she will sit around and do next to nothing and yet remain tired. And this tiny child within is causing enough nausea to bring her to the brink of "barf city"--as she stated recently.  

Do you have any ultrasound pictures?
But of course :)

    Congratulations! There is no "right time" to have a baby, so this is it, the right time!

    I also have a blog with family updates at ambitiousmrs.wordpress.com

    While there is no solution to morning sickness (sorry) my recomendations are "real" ginger ale (bought at a health food store) and Gatorade. Take it for what its worth (not a lot!)

The Alleys: Est. 11/11/2007

Andrea is a mom to two "fur-babies," an amateur seamstress and homemaker a la Martha Stewart and Rachael Ray, a connoisseur of imported beers, an upcoming barista and restaurant manager, a Petlane Pet Advisor, an Icelander at heart, an occasional vegetarian, and a self-proclaimed correcter of grammatical errors (a.k.a. "grammar Nazi"). The intensity of her beauty is matched only by the passion she has for life. And she loves her husband more than life itself (yes, Cody wrote that part).

Cody is 100% lovable nerd and a budding musician. He is a thoughtful theologian, cultural critic, artist at heart, movie trivia buff, and fellow dog lover. He loves adventure, travel and seeking out everything that God has planned for him, which may or may not be his day job as an Academic Advisor at ASU, but it's a good way to pay the bills for now. His biggest desire is to go to seminary (although this really depends on the day) and his sense of humor is one of many things that others love most about him. He takes amazing care of his wife and their "fur-kids" (though he prefers to be called a "dog owner." Whatever.). He loves his wife more than life itself (he wrote that all on his own).

Together, the Alleys are navigating this thing called life by seeking out the Lord's guidance and wisdom. They love getting to know each other more and more every day. There is so much to learn and experience and this is where you'll find their journey.
