Super delicious dinner! It is somewhat a wink and a nudge to a fast lasagna. It is also a healthier alternative. Here are some pics from my dinner.

New Recipe
For anyone that is looking for a great soup recipe, here is a great one. If you love Olive Garden's Zuppa Toscana soup you will love this mock soup. This soup is hearty and a little rich, but great for cold nights and a change of pace for a soup lover.
Amazing
Friday, Josiah and I went to the doctor and had the amazing experience of seeing our baby. All the sudden there the baby was on the screen. I started to cry immediately, how could you not? After that moment you realize you are "really" pregnant. You become more aware of your body, and are constantly thinking about your baby.
We were in unbelief that the baby was as active as it was. I as not expecting to see it kicking and scratching its face. I told Josiah "it is definitely an Enyart."
What an incredible experience! I can't wait for that moment when I start to feel it kick, and find out if it is a girl or a boy, and then ultimately seeing my baby.

The unexpected
It is interesting when you think that you plan for all the right things then you forget something so important. Well, Josiah and I are covered under insurance, but the insurance we have does not have maternity coverage. Also considering we were able to get pregnant faster than we thought we didn't have time to change our coverage.
So we are in the process of finding something that is affordable and has good coverage. Some of the policies that we are looking out have a 12-24 month waiting period...umm pretty sure that the baby will be here in seven months.
We know that something will come up and we will have "coverage" of some sort.
Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers that we will resolve this issue.

Ummm....food please!
I am pretty sure that I have eaten everything but the kitchen sink this past week. I am not sure if I am experiencing "cravings" per say, but I definitely left Walmart this weekend with a big jar of pickles, which I could have eaten while finishing the rest of my shopping. But I refrained until I was home putting the groceries away. And with today being Wednesday, I think that the jar is half full now...hehe!
I am not sure if I am trying to eat the same portions that I use to or what, but I am in a constant state of hunger it seems. I am eating three meals with two snacks during the day, which is how I usually eat. Maybe I need to increase my portion size.
I am trying to not obsess about my weight and size, considering that I am pregnant. But I am just not use to stuffing my face the way that I am lately. I have not gained any weight and my clothes still fit. I am only 8 weeks along, but it is hard to "feel" pregnant right now, so maybe that is why I am in a way trying not to over eat. The real reality has not set in.

Chronic Runny Nose...Really?
The past week I have dealt with a runny and stuffy nose. Well the runny nose has turned into a very congested nose. Who knew that these things would happen because of pregnancy. So I have searched the past two days in what is safe to take while pregnant and what will actually work.
I have sent Josiah out at 8:45 pm to buy me some Claritin and a humidifier. Sleeping at night has been difficult because of this and it is not fun to wake up with a bloody nose.
Who knew that in my 2nd and 3rd trimester you could also have a chronic runny nose? I mean seriously...things you don't know about pregnancy until you are in the moment.
If you have had any experience in this let me know what worked for you.

Blessing in surprise
It is official! Josiah and I are expecting a bundle of joy in October! We are filled with many emotions these days, or maybe it is just my hormones. We are excited, surprised at how fast it happened, and anxious at all the changes that are soon to be happening to our family.
We found out two weeks ago when I took a digital home pregnancy test after work. I took the test, placed it on the counter while I waited, knowing that it would say not pregnant. I went about unwinding from work and then it was time to look at the test. All the sudden my world changed! The test read- PREGNANT- in what seemed to be big bold letters. I stared at it for what seemed to be forever. Not believing my eyes I called Josiah, who was sitting in the living room watching tv not knowing what was going on. "Josiah can you read this and tell me what it says?" I pointed to the counter and he read it several times before realization hit. He looked at me mouth wide open and we just stared at each other in disbelief. I started to cry and we hugged, ruining the moment I said, "hold that thought I have to go grab more!"
I ran to the store in a daze and grabbed two more tests. Which all came back positive. In less than an hour after our life changing experience we had to go to our Wednesday night bible study group where we lead worship. This group consists of Josiah's very close family and friends. My mouth was just ready to spill the beans, but we agreed that we wanted to tell the parents first.
When we were home that night I instantly called my mom. I asked her what her Valentine's Day plans were and she continued to tell me her plans and things going on. I then told her that we received an early Valentine's Day present, which was something that Josiah and I both were looking forward to. "We have new names....mommy and daddy!" The phone was silent...and then mom came back down to earth. Both my parents were very surprised and very excited for us.
That night and the following day continued with calling friends and family.
I would just like to thank all the great friends and family that have been a great support system during this time. We look forward to posting more about our journey to parenthood.
