A Peek Inside~14 Weeks

I made it to the second trimester, and had my check-up this morning (14 weeks, 2 days). We did an ultrasound in the hopes of finding out pink or blue (I know it's early, but it was my doctor's idea:) Don't hold your breath, because we had NO luck! The baby was spine up, face down, sort of in a crawling position with it's feet crossed at the knees. For all of you "new" to ultrasounds, the head is on the left, the body on the right. You can see the spinal cord really well in the last photo. This is all quite humorous to me...they say all of your pregnancies and babies are different. So far, I would agree! Emma was never in this position in an ultrasound!

The Baby Bump Diaries: Chapter 2

In case you missed Chapter 1.

I made it to 14 Weeks, which is also the beginning of the second trimester. This is the supposed to be the best one of the three, so I am patiently waiting. I think that I felt better with Emma around 15 weeks, but I honestly don't remember. It seemed like a VERY long bout of sickness with her, and I would say the same again this time. Here's to feeling great, no nausea, and puke-free nights :) Please tell me it is just around the corner.

Did you know?

I would LOVE to read your comments! I am starting to feel like our relationship is a bit one-sided....you know, I do all the talking and y'all do all of the listening...which can only last for a short while, you know? Somedays, I am not sure if anybody is reading...are you? Maybe some of you are just a bit too quiet! So, let's start with this....

Want to comment with some baby name suggestions?

There is a little button at the bottom of my post that probably says "0 comments." That's right ZERO. You can click that button and just comment away :) Add as many as you like. And, while you are at it, you can vote on the sex of the baby too. We would appreciate it!

We aren't sold on any name yet, boy or girl, so we could definitely use your help...nothing too weird though, we do already have an "emma."

On another note, here is Emma's latest. Our family portrait. Emma's first people. They make me smile, although now that I am looking at them, they do sort of resemble jelly-fish like monsters. Have a wonderful day!

Our SIXTH Wedding Anniversary!

Today is our wedding anniversary....six years! Wow! I can't believe it. This photo was taken last night, just before we left for our night out...I love those! Pretty good for a self portrait...I sat the timer and crawled my way (very slowly) back to my spot :) We had an amazing dinner at this wonderful little cafe. The stuffed mushrooms, filet, and shrimp brochette were yum-O! We didn't leave room for dessert...it seems that we never do. After dinner, we headed to see The Time Traveler's Wife. All in all, I had a wonderful night out with my WONDERFUL hubby!

Today, we just stayed at home. I didn't feel so well. I spent our "real" anniversary night puking...fun. Which night did I prefer? Our wedding night or tonight...I bet you can guess.

The Baby Bump Diaries: Chapter 1

I made it to 13 Weeks! Hooray! For all of you asking for a "bump" photo, here it is. For all of you that think this is weird, just look away :) I am still having lots of first trimester symptoms, and although some are beginning to subside, others (sciatic nerve pain) are appearing. Oh well, otherwise, we are doing great! This photo was taken just before Rob and I left for our anniversary date, but there will be more on that later!

I Promised!

I Owe You One & Jumping In Puddles

Here's a photo of Emma jumping in puddles. She just LOVES it! I found her rain boots for $5, and thought, "how fun?" The second I gave them too her....she looked at me and said, "I get to jump in puddles?" Funny how they know things without you telling them!

On another note, I am still sick...nausea, indigestion, and the whole 9. We are in survival mode around here and hoping for a break eventually. It should be coming soon, right? I am about 12.5 weeks. I know that I am behind on EVERYTHING...including the blog and other things, so...

Mom-I will upload the wedding photos soon and have them sent to Walgreens for you and Lins.

Lindy & Coco-I will try to put some of the rehearsal dinner/wedding photos on our website. There are just SO many, that the post is a bit daunting for prego.

To everybody else-Hopefully I can catch up soon...if you are waiting on Emma's birthday invite, I am working on those too. We have some great photos, and I just can't wait to share, but the computer, along with everything else these days makes me want to puke.

11 Weeks!

I had my doctor's appointment this morning, and everything went well. It looks like a real baby now! I am 10 weeks and 5 days and included three ultrasound pics for everybody to see. I promise you that I can already feel the baby kick. All of the books say that you shouldn't be able to, but I remember what it feels like, and I am convinced. Of course, only I can feel it. The baby is too small yet for Rob to feel the kicks. Weight gain in three pounds so far.

Emma has her very own series of ultrasound photos from the doctor. She says, "hi doctor" every time we go in for a visit, and he hooks her up with her very own photos.

Don't to forget to vote on the sex of the baby. We should find out soon, so vote while you can. The link is to the right-it is purple and gold.

The ultrasound below was taken just 10 days ago at 9 weeks and 2 days. Look at how much it's grown in just 10 days!

Pedaling? She usually prefers to FLINSTONE it!

Vote please! Which will it be...pink or blue?

In case you were wondering...Emma was born on Tuesday, September 12th at 1:16 p.m. She was exactly 40 weeks-born on her due date, but I was induced. She weighed 7 lbs. 9.5 ounces and was 20.5 inches long.
