Levi and I were scheduled to hear Baby E's heart beat tomorrow morning, but after a day of pure misery yesterday, I called to see if they could bump my appointment up and they graciously obliged. So...we got to hear the heart beat this morning!
The heartbeat, like everyone told me, was very fast and very different from mine. It is so different, that you almost don't realize you are hearing it without the Dr. saying "Oh...there it is." Dr. Smith said we apparently have a very active "little rascal" on our hands, because he/she kept swimming away every time he could find the heart beat. You wonder how you will react the first time you hear it. I actually thought I would cry, but when the moment came I just smiled really, really big. I couldn't see Levi, but I know he was smiling too. The biggest news of the day is that I scheduled my gender ultrasound for March 23. So in about 7 weeks we will hopefully know if it is a boy or girl!
As far as being sick goes, Dr. Smith said that I could go ahead and start taking some over the counter medicines and if they don't help, to call him and we would go another route (whatever that means). He really is awesome and if you need an AU OBGYN, I highly recommend him. Thank you to everyone who has remembered me in their prayers. They are greatly appreciated!
Until next time...

And Baby E Makes Three...Our Blog Debut
It's official...I have finally joined the wonderful world of blogging! So many of our friends have been doing this for so long, that I decided I better get on the bandwagon now, before a new form of social networking comes along and this one is old news!
So, where do I start? Introductions first I would assume. I am Emily and I am married to Levi. We are from a very small town in North Alabama called Haleyville. After beginning our relationship in high school, we both moved to Auburn, finished college, and got married. In February, we will have been married for 2 1/2 years! We lead very blessed lives here in Auburn with great friends, family (my brother, sister, and mom also live here) and jobs. We know so many people who after college, just couldn't bring themselves to leave this wonderful place :)
Over the holidays, we learned that we are expecting our first child! I have already had my first drs. appointment and will be 8 weeks on Wednesday. While we were planning to get pregnant sometime in the new year, God surprised us a little early. We are thrilled and confident though that His timing is absolutely perfect. Levi and I are completely in love with this little one growing inside of me, but are also a little nervous about how it will change our lives. Everyone keeps assuring me it will only be for the better...but to enjoy the "just us" time we have before the baby comes. Oh, if you are wondering, Baby E is scheduled to make his or her appearance on September 2nd. At that point, we will be married 3 years, Levi will be 25, and I will be a couple of weeks shy of 25 myself.
Well that is all for now. I can't promise how great I will be at updating, but I will try my best!
