Some of you are receiving our Christmas Card this week and visiting my blog for the first time -- WELCOME! We are so happy to share this news and we hope you find the blog useful to find out what's been going on with our new "pickle" (nickname my brother-in-law Andy came up with this past weekend). We certainly have a lot to be thankful for this year!
I feel like I am really starting to "pop", what do you think?! I'm starting to notice I don't bend quite like I used to.
Everything went swimmingly at my 15 week checkup. I got the hear the heartbeat for the first time, which was really neat! Heartbeat was 150 bpm!
My doctor said she thought I was measuring 2 weeks early. We'll see if that means anything!
I have been feeling really good. It's nice that work now knows and I don't have to worry about what I wear. I have been a lot more interested in food. I haven't had any cravings, but have been more interested in "comfort foods" (think mac & cheese, grilled cheese, pb&j).
I have only gained 6 pounds so far, which I think is really good. Working out has for sure helped. The strangest thing is really feeling my belly stretch. The baby is so small but I feel like he/she is doing bear stretches in there!
I thought I was doing really well on my weekly picture taking, but it seems weeks 11-14 skipped by with no pictures... opps :)
We have made the announcement to immediate friends, family and work! I am now 15 weeks along and feeling much better. Obviously some days are better than others. I'm still finding it hard to get in the recommended servings of fruits, vegetables and water! Who wants to eat that stuff?!? Not when you could have french fries or potato chips :)
Everyone was very excited for us. We actually got a lot of "I knew it!" so I guess it's about time we have a baby! I have my next appointment this week and I'm excited to see how things are progressing. I have started to wear some maternity dress pants since they are oh so comfy! At this point, it's really hard to tell if I've just gained weight around my midsection or if I'm pregnant.
5 more weeks until we find out if we're having a boy or a girl!! Can you tell I'm really excited?!?
