update

Excitement has begun to grow in the Tyler household. JET Jr is growing finger nails and tooth buds, he/she is a little person.
The excitement is hindered by Emily's constant nausea. She throws up almost every morning, and night. We just drove down to Arkansas for a wedding, and as long as she is driving, she does okay in the car. We had to step out of the wedding for her to vomit, and then again at the reception. But, she is a hell of a trooper, she vomits and keeps on trucking. If I have a head ache, I am down for a week crying and asking for Chicken Noodle Soup. Emily just vomits and rolls on.
Wednesday marks the beginning of the 2nd trimester, and we are hoping that things will get better for her. Her Mom was sick all 9 months, for all 3 kids.
The office is 90% cleared out, just waiting for AT &T to move the phone line into the lounge, and once that is completed, we are moving one of the guest rooms into the office and the nursery will be open for business (meaning you can start sending lots and lots of gifts)
The cyst is holding on just fine, no problems with that, we will go back to the doctor in a few weeks to see if the cyst has gone down, and get to see JET Jr move around again.
For me, it is beginning to get more real every day. And I think once we get the nursery emptied out with a crib, it will sink in even more.
Keep on Keeping on.....

11 week Doctor appointment

We went back to our doctor today to check on Emily's cyst. The cyst is still there, but it did go down 1 CM, which is a good sign. Our Dr does not seem at all worried about it at this time, and seems to think that it will just go away on it's own. We learned that it is fairly common and nothing to worry about. As I mentioned last week, there is not danger to JET Jr or to Emily, if it burst or twist her ovary, she will be in a lot of pain, which is not a strong likelihood. She is still not able to exercise or lift heavy objects, just walk.
Emily was feeling better for about a week, then last Friday she struggle. Car rides are tough on her, and we were in the car for 10 hours over 2 days. We had to pull over 1/2 way to KC so she could vomit. She is back to waking up in the middle of the night to vomit. I feel so useless, so I end up just yelling at her for waking me up and make her clean her own mess up. Just kidding. Calm down everyone. She is quite the trooper though. She throws up, and just keeps on moving. Neither one of us ever seem to stop moving, puking be damned.
On a much happier note: we did get to see JET Jr move today. It was amazing to see JET Jr stretch and move around, it seems so much more real. Jet Jr has little arms and legs and eyes that are still covered with skin, but will soon open up.
Nothing around the house has changed too much, still trying to sell the desk so we can switch rooms around. A parent on my soccer team did give us a soccer ball baby toy, which is our first baby gift.
Thanks for all the cards and kind words. We will keep you updated. Until next time: Keep on Keeping on......
