Second Trimester Begins!

I am now 13 weeks along and have officially made it to the second trimester.  I am starting to feel less nauseous and am regaining my appetite.  I am so happy about this because constant nausea really wears a person down.  Hopefully, this improvement will continue...that is until the next symptom comes along.  

Here is a pic of my 13 week baby bump. :)

Last week we went in for a first trimester screening in which they check baby for growth and the possibility of certain chromosomal disorders.  Luckily, we received excellent news as our little bundle fell into the "low risk" category.  We also got some great images from the ultrasound. Baby is about 2 inches long in these photos.  

 

Dear Granny and Nannie,...

I sent my grandmothers a card with an ultrasound picture attached inside as a way to announce our pregnancy.  My mom is about to burst because she hasn't been able to say anything.  The cards were sent out on Friday so they should get them by the middle of next week which will put us at about 11 weeks along.  I wish I could see the look on their faces when they open the card.

The News is Out!

The news is finally out! I am 9 weeks along and now both sets of parents know as do many of our friends.  Just continue to keep us in your thoughts as we make it toward the second trimester.  And boy will I be glad to be there.
