Move over Rookie....
We are so excited to announce that we are having a baby! We are looking forward to this new stage in our lives and this tiny blessing growing inside of me. I don't feel very tiny however! I am almost 13 weeks and our doctor says I'm very healthy and everything is going great. Drew was still in the academy for my first ultrasound, so my good friend Amy Busti went with me and we got to see the little one. It was so amazing! Drew and I went back this Monday to the doctor and heard the heart beating strong and clear. Only 6 more weeks until we find out what the sex is - it's going by so fast! I LOVE my doctor at Scott and White - Dr. Sulak. For those of you who have heard about it, she wrote the "worth the wait" abstinence curriculum for the Texas school districts. I am so glad that we were stationed close by and I was able to stay with her. My due date is Jan. 2nd which is great (deer season will almost be over for Drew :) and I don't have to endure this Texas heat with a big belly. We went kayaking today on the Colorado River and I thought I was going to die from the heat - I can't imagine being a lot further along in the summer.
With my first trimester almost behind me, I am starting to feel great. I was pretty tired which is aggravating when I'm used to being super productive! (my sister-in-law, Mandy, who helped me pack up and my mom who practically did all of my unpacking in our move 2 weeks ago know how unproductive and tired I was!) Thanks for your help - I couldn't have done it without you guys! Fortunately I didn't have any "morning sickness" - just some nausea...but that is starting to wane too. My growing appetite is not waning however! I am so surprised by how hungry I am!! I am trying to stay fit and exercise as well as eat healthy....
Thank you for celebrating in this good news with us! I am sure I was post more often now with news of the little one. We are thankful to the Lord for this incredible blessing and pray that we will be parents who are examples of Christ to our child.
Much Love,
Jessica & Drew

Such exciting news :)
I was ravenous through the 2nd trimester, then it dropped off. But my goodness, when I started nursing with Anderson I was STARVING, so be ready.
I hope the tiredness improves for you with the 2nd trimester, it should. Then comes the 3rd, I nap a lot ;)
Miss you, wish I was there to hold the new little one!
