12 Weeks

Happy Easter!

We've made it to 12 weeks! The baby is now the size of a peach and about 3 inches long. Things are going well and it seems like the afternoon/evening/night sickness is beginning to lighten up.  I have figured out that in order to keep the sickness to a minimum I have to eat every 2-3 hours.  I'm hoping that in the next few weeks it will begin to go away. Fingers are crossed.

Two weeks ago we had an appointment with our new doctor.  Brandon and I both absolutely loved her.  She was very nice and personable, but more importantly very informative.  She took the time to sit down with us and explain things.  She is a huge Oregon fan and being that Brandon is a diehard KU fan they had plenty to talk about. Overall, we are glad we made the switch and are looking forward to going through the pregnancy with her as our doctor.

10 Weeks

At our 10 week appointment we finally got to see our little munchkin MOVE! The second she started the ultrasound the baby was waving it's arms and legs like crazy, moving all over! I told Brandon to hurry and get his phone out and the second he did the baby stopped.  I guess it's still a little camera shy.  I'm bummed we didn't catch it on video but super excited we got to see it for the few seconds we did.

Every holiday Carli and I get our goddaughters Emma and Kaylee gift baskets. Both girls were very excited about their baskets.  Carli, by the way, is expecting a BOY!

This Thursday we are going back to Kansas for a week to visit family and friends. We are both excited to see everyone and are looking forward to spending some time back there.  Our next appointment will be on May 3rd.
