Exciting!

This is my brother and SIL, who are avid archers and hunters. I've been sitting on this exciting news since our CA visit. Now that she is officially into her second trimester she agreed that we could let the cat out of the bad. She's such a thin thing that the bump for "Jellybean" is already showing.  She has been terribly sick both with the traditional nausea and with a hormone related flair of unusual allergies.  The doctor believes the latter will clear up shortly.  They are excited and trepidatious. They know this means a drastic change to their life but they are looking forward to the next step.  The doctor thinks they were a little off in their due date calculations and gave them a due date of August 3rd- we'll see how it goes.  I wish they were a little closer and not 10 hours away.  I also wish that our schedules would mesh so Tami and I could talk weekly like we used to but we still haven't figured that out.  She works from 9-7 and I work from 8-5.  We used to talk when we were both driving home but now we can't do it that way and the evenings are too short when she gets home for her to do much more than cook dinner and head for bed.

I am excited for them but it has taken me a while to get over feeling sad for myself.  I always wanted kids, but it's not to be, so I'm just going to spoil this one and any to follow rotten.
