Doctor's Appointment

Yesterday we had another doctor's appointment. Everything looks great. We were able to hear the heart beat, which was 159 beats per minute. The doctor said that the baby and I are healthy as can be. So we were really happy to hear that. Our next appointment is on April 9th. We are very excited for this day because we get to find out what we are having!!!! We can't wait! So, the next question is, who wants to join the baby pool that is going on? There are a couple of family members who have put in their vote for boy/girl and due date. But, what we will also need is a time you think the baby will be born. That way, if someone picks the same day, we can go by who was closest to the time. Anyway, we hope all is well with everyone!! Post your votes in the comment section.

Movement!!!

Well, I was standing at the printer at work just right now and felt a little movement in my stomach. I wasn't sure what it was, so I went to one of my co-workers and said feel this. Sure enough, I just felt the little one move for the first time. As soon as all the girls in my office (there are 7 in here) heard they all came over to feel. It was moving around for a good five minutes. It was definitely one of the weirdest coolest things ever!

Hi Everyone! We thought this would be a good idea to keep you up to date on what is going on with the baby.

So far everything has been great. Well, great now that I am in the second trimester. The first one was awful. I don't know why they call it "morning sickness"because I was sick all day every day. It was not fun at all! Poor Blake would make me a great breakfast or dinner and I couldn't eat any of it. Since I have been so sick I lost weight and the doctor told me that I need to start eating every 2 hours to gain it back and keep healthy. It is also nice being in the second trimester because I am not as tired. Blake would laugh at me because we would go any where and I would sit down and fall asleep. I am still a little tired here and there, but my energy level is much higher.

Blake has been great throughout this whole process. His new theme song is "Mr. Mom" by Lonestar. He has had to go into my role since I haven't been feeling very well. He now cooks, cleans and does laundry. I appreciate it so much!

I hope that you all will enjoy this blog and we will keep it up to date as much as we can. We see the doctor in a week for a normal check up and then again 3 weeks after that to find out the sex of the baby. We are really anxious to find out what we are having. Blake thinks it is going to be a girl because I have been so sick and because he dreamed that I gave birth to a little girl the other night. We shall see though. As long as the baby has 10 fingers, 10 toes and is healthy we will be happy.

Oh, and our due date is August 30, 2010.
