We found out the day before Valentine's Day. Nic was at work when I did the first test. I couldn't wait until he got home!!!!
Another positive test after Nic got home from work!
We love reading the weekly updates about our baby through email. One week said that our baby was the size of a blueberry, so now we've nicnamed our baby "the blueberry." We are about 14 weeks now and the lastest update is that our baby is about the size of the average fist. It keeps on growing!!
On Wednesday our doctor is supposed to do a doppler to listen for the baby's heartbeat!!! We are so excited!!!We are also very excited that Baby Arnold will have a cousin born approximately the same time!! Gena's baby is expected to arrive October 17, 2008!
Pregnancy has brought some morning sickness and fatigue. Nic likes to tease me about my sleeping ability. On my days off, I can take a 3 hour nap, go to sleep at 8PM, and sleep in 'till 9 in the morning. I always seem to be tired.
I've been feeling better lately though, though I still have a hard time dealing with food. For example, these are my comfort foods right now:
The strangest craving has been taco bell! I rarely liked taco bell before I was pregnant
Here are some foods I cannot eat right now:
I used to LOVE chocolate, but I CANNOT seem to stand it right now. I've tried a few times, but the texture and aftertaste do not settle well with me. Maybe being pregnant will help break some of my chocolate binging habits. Haha!

Tammy & Nic,
Congratulations!!
I love the self-portraits shot done via the mirror.
Love, Mom
Congrats again! I'm soooo excited for you guys. I wish I had something to satisfy my chocolate cravings, and I wish I had an excuse for my excessive sleeping habits :)
YYAAAAYYYY!!! Such a cute post! Love that last pic of you two in the mirror with the test! So sweet!!!
Hope you are feeling ok sis! Love ya!!! Give the blueberry a rub for me! (Although, the last thing I read said the baby was the size of a shrimp...haha...Jeff and I thought it was funnny!!) xoxo
Ps! Wish that I had the chocolate problem too!!! It would be nice to kick that! lOve ya!
Congratulations Tammy & Nic...I am going to go out on a limb now and predict that you are carrying a boy!
It's just a feeling I got reading your post right now. So now, you'll have to let me know as soon as one of your sonograms can tell.
And there is nothing wrong with getting as much rest as your body is telling you too. No need to feel guilty about that!
Love you!!
Sharon:)
Love you. Good luck. Life is about to get really busy and it wont stop getting busy anytime soon, so try and get rest while you can... that is my only good advice I can give you! Rest is something I have been craving for about 14 years now! Love Amy
ps you look adorable!
Tammy & Nic,
What an exciting day! We love you guys and can't wait til "Blueberry" comes into your family. I know "Blueberry" will be loved by one and all.
Congratulations!!
We love all three of you!
Mom and Dad Arnold
Congratulations...(i'm a friend of Tonyas), anyway, i just wanted to leave a post because in my times of morning sickness or all day sickness with both of my kids, taco bell bean burritos and sprite was all i wanted, and the only thing that didn't make me puke..
and i never ate that before.
Good Luck with that. LOL
Heather
