12 Weeks!

12 Weeks Pregnant! December 17, 2008

So, we are just about officially out of the first trimester. I am feeling better and better every day! James is happily offering me food of all sorts, especially of the meat and fish variety! He is hoping that pregnancy will make me crave the things I don't normally eat. He would be overjoyed if I became a full fledged carnivore!!

We are also experiencing a gender war in our house! I am on the "it is a girl" train, with James on the "definiately a boy" train! We will have to wait and see what happens in June! Place your bets folks!

I am just about finished with my semester in Nursing school . I have decided to put school on hold for now, so that I can concentrate on staying healthy, enjoying our first pregnancy, and especially - enjoying married life! My classmates are very sad that I am leaving - I think they were hoping for a guinea pig for our Maternal/Child Care unit next semester!

9 Weeks!

9 Weeks Pregnant! November 2008

I know most of you can probably not tell - but if you look closely you will see a tiny bump. I am almost finished with the first trimester. We had our first prenatal appointment and where able to see the heart beating strongly (very cool!) and James spotted the umbillical chord.

We are also officially out of the "oh-my-god-we're-having-a-baby" phase. I think we've moved onto the "now-what-do-we-do!?" phase! The last few months have been an absolute whirlwind for us, so we are looking forward taking some well needed time for ourselves after the holidays.
