Update (and photo)
Hi everyone! So we have about 2 more weeks until the blog turns pink or blue. I am very excited. This was probably the slowest 4 weeks of my life!! I am feeling great though. I am still walking between 1.5 -2 miles on the treadmill everyday. Then sometimes another mile at night when we […]

Dr. Appointment
So we had our doctors appointment today. Everything went very well. We heard the heartbeat and even though I have seen the baby on the ultra sound a few times, it is so amazing to hear the little baby’s heart beat. We almost want to get a doppler so we can listen to it all […]

Click to enlarge How your baby’s growing: Fingerprints have formed on your baby’s tiny fingertips, her veins and organs are clearly visible through her still-thin skin, and her body is starting to catch up with her head — which makes up just a third of her body size now. If you’re having a girl, she […]
First Post
Hi Everyone!! So this is my first post. Thought I would give everyone an update on how I am feeling. The first 2 months I had some nasuea. That (thankfully) lasted only a few weeks. I am now 12 weeks and I am feeling pretty great!! Still a little tired, but that too should pass. […]

Your baby’s fingers will soon begin to open and close, his toes will curl, his eye muscles will clench, and his mouth will make sucking movements.
