The last few weeks in the Norman house have been crazy, wonderful, busy, and absolutely some of the best of my life :)
Easter weekend Isaac and I moved into our new house. After packing and cleaning, cleaning again and unpacking, we are finally somewhat settled. The whole week before we moved, I was tired, a little more moody than normal (which I attributed to the stress of moving) and was constantly hungry. The whole week Isaac told me I was pregnant. I kept telling him I wasn't, but that Sat, while Isaac was on duty, I decided to take a test. When I saw those 2 pink lines, I could not have been more excited! I told Isaac on Easter morning and so our journey began.
I felt pretty good for the next week or so, which was good so I had energy to unpack the house some before the morning and all day sickness began. I'm hoping that will stop in the next 2 or 3 weeks, at least that's what most people tell me should happen so I'm pretty hopeful :)
We had our first u/s today, and I'm 10 weeks a long, and due Dec 5th, another Dec birthday in our family. I'm hoping Taylor will be ok to share, maybe she'll think she's getting a baby cousin for her birthday.
Since all our family and a lot of our friends live so far away and it's hard to update everyone, I'll try and post regularly here. Hopefully next time, I'll have a little baby bump to post :)
Total weight gain/loss: 2ish lbs
Maternity clothes: none yet, hopefully that won't be for a while

Best moment this week: Seeing our sweet baby's heart beat and little arm buds moving on u/s
Miss anything: Coffee, the smell makes me sick. I'm hoping that goes away with the 2nd trimester.
