Nesting...?!

Hi everyone!
    The ultrasound will be Sept 15th and next Dr appt is Sept 17th. Praying everything will go well. I'm feeling good and getting decent sleep these days. That's probably partially due to the cleaning I've been trying to get done, so I'm up and moving most all day. Aunt Linda has been a big help = )  It's pry partial nesting and it's mostly to get ready for the Labor Day Party (Joe's side of the fam). Most women like to present a clean house, even tho Joe swears that no one will care ; )   
      Overall, we're doing great. May take another profile pic this week.... since it's been 2 weeks since the last one.... we'll see.

15 weeks!

Hello all,
    The Dr. appt Tuesday went well. It was quick. Weight, blood pressure, found baby's heartbeat and she answered a few of our questions and we were done. Next ultrasound will be in 4 weeks as well as the next Dr. appt. Yay!

Here's the first profile shots:

Tried to get fancy..

Sorry about how unreadable the last post is. I was trying to play with the font/colors and well... made a mess. I'll need a tutorial from Hannah to help me figure this site out.


Bought my first maternity pants yesterday. Eek! But my normal jeans were getting rather uncomfortable.


Will post again next week after the good word from the DR.

First Trimester Recap

I can hardly believe it but we're at week 14 already! Full steam ahead into the 2nd trimester! 


Only pic we have of baby so far....




Overall the first trimester went well. I did not have much morning sickness, except for a few occasions. The biggest 'downer' was fatigue. I was much much more tired than normal. That was a hard adjustment since I am used to being such a busy-body. Emotionally, I'd like to think I stayed pretty even keel, but my co-workers would probably have a different story. They got to see most of the hormonal ups and downs. On more than one occasion weird stuff would make me tear up. (Like why am I crying over this ad on the radio?) And the strangest part was pretty intense pain in my tailbone. I injured it in highschool and it's never really bothered me before. The DR said it's because everything is expanding down there and there's pressure on my tailbone, stand on my feet 8 hrs a day pry didn't help either. All things considered, I'm very blessed!


So this week has been pretty great so far, I do have more energy, baby has moved off the tailbone.... and I'm in a happier mood more consistently = )  I am starting to outgrow my jeans tho, so some shopping will be done in the very near future.


We go back to the DR a week from today and she will schedule another ultrasound for late this month or early next month.... 


Thanks so much for all your love and prayers!!
