Baby update!

Went in for another check-up. Baby is doing great! Strong hb at 160bpm. No ultrasound this time. Next one will be in 5 weeks to determine sex and make sure everything is going ok. My morning sickness is gone; fatigue sets in from 4-9pm. Trying my hardest not to nap, and it's hard to fall asleep when the nagging husband is telling you to go exercise. Gained maybe 2 lbs, but feels like 20! Cravings: Chicken McNuggets and waffles. Oh, and I can eat eggs again!

On a different note...we had our first snow day of the year. Too bad it was a non-student day, which we'll have to make up anyway. Sport was eager to go outside and sniff out the snow. He didn't know what to do and then started doing his "pointer pose"! (He heard the neighbor shoveling.) Supposed to get more snow again tonight! Poor boys still had to drive in to work...

Baby's First Picture!

We had our first doctor's appointment on the last day of 2007. What a great way to end the year!

Baby is healthy and strong and we're further along than we expected...11 weeks! Estimated due date is July 20. Doctor asked us if we already wanted to know her thoughts about what sex it is... about 80% chance it's a BOY! But we all know it's really early to know the exact sex. We'll just have to wait and see!

The actual ultrasound looked a lot better than this picture...it doesn't do any justice. Had to label all the parts because it's so difficult to see, and we know our parents would be asking, "What is that?"

Morning sickness is now late afternoon tiredness. Cravings are starting to disappear too! :)
