Hello Hello!
We got to hear a heartbeat!! 160 beats per minute. One of the neatest things we have ever experienced. There really is a little person growing in there ... I have to say that I was starting to wondering if i was really pregnant or if I was just gaining weight:)
Everything is going great. I am getting more and more energy but have officially out grown my normal pants. Luckily, I have got my hands on an elastic band that allows me to wear my old pants unbuttoned. Yeah for no maternity pants!!
So here we are at 16 weeks...
Baby is about the size of a baked potato:)...butter and sour cream please! About 4 1/2 inches long and weighs about 3 1/2 ounces.
Something exciting to look forward to? We have a Sonogram scheduled for Wednesday May 16th. So everyone start taking bets on if we have a boy or girl.
Our love to all!
Brandan and I have been blessed with many amazing journeys in our our lives together, and it is our joy to announce that we are beginning another. We are expecting our first baby October 03, 2012. I thought that this would be a fun way to share and keep everyone up to date.
We found out that we were expecting on February first and quickly told close family and friends. It was especially fun to tell Maggie that her wedding party had gotten just a little bit bigger. We tried to keep the news quiet for a bit, but everyone was too excited and news got out very quickly.
Brandan is also looking forward to being a dad, and has been wonderful since day one. On Valentines Day, I came home to a huge box perfectly wrapped in heart paper. He had bought me a glider for our Nursery. When I came home the next day, one our our spare rooms had already been gutted of unnecessary furniture and there was my glider perfectly assembled in the corner.
I have had several doctors visit, and everything is going very well. My symptoms have been very mild. I am happy to report that I am one of the lucky ladies that did not have any morning sickness. I have, however, been very tired...but I will take any excuse to take a nap. :)
My plan is to post whenever we have news or anything fun to share, but I will also post monthly shots of "the belly".
So here we are...12 weeks. The baby is about the size of a Nutter Butter cookie this week.
Our love to you all!
