Molly comes home! and other big news!

Hi All!!

For those of you that don't know, Mike and I found out that I'm pregnant 2 weeks ago.  I'm now 7 weeks pregnant and due on November 3rd.  We're excited!!  When I first found out I was in complete shock.  But now we are really excited!!  There are all sorts of changes going on in my body, most of which make me exhausted and dizzy. But other than that I've had it pretty easy and I have one month left in the first trimester, so lets hope it continues this way!!  I havent had morning sickness (knock on wood) just occasional nausea, the dizziness is the worst of it.  Mike is extremely excited to be a daddy!  We have picked out (tentative I'm sure) names for the baby.  We're thinking Charlotte Michelle for a girl, and Lukas (havent decided on the middle name, but have a few ideas) for a boy.  We had our first dr appt yesterday, which went SO fast, German drs deliver here (and yes, it will be born on german soil) and they are SO straight forward and dont really do small talk.  He just took blood work and checked that the baby was there, and it is, but I only saw the uterus and the sac, I'm going in for another appointment next week to actually SEE the baby and hear the heart beat.

Yesterday our 2 month old puppy named Molly came home too!! She's adorable, and a hand full.

 She was so scared in the car ride home she threw up everywhere poor girl.  But then she had fun exploring her new home and loves Mike and I already.  Mike was SOO excited to bring her home, he was like a little kid, he couldn't wait to pick her up.  He's a good daddy too, he woke up in the middle of the night to clean up Molly's pee :)  She actually hasn't been as difficult as we expected, she (other than in the middle of the night) basically tells us when she needs to go out to the potty and we take her out. which is odd for a puppy.  She does chew on some things she shouldnt, but we replace the item with a chew toy.  The biggest issue I had is she woke up at 5am with SOOO much energy.  So now i'm exhausted and she's napping. haha.  She's so cute and follows mike and i around everywhere we go.  she cried when mike went to work, but realized i was still here and stopped. Mike leaves Sunday for Ramstein, he will be gone 2.5 weeks, sad.  But he will be doing his job which is awesome, he will actually be working 24 hour shifts and stuff and will be firefighting if necessary.  I'm sure he will enjoy it, but Molly and I will miss him!!  Hope all is well back in the states!!
