Latest Pictures!

Well, you guys may not be quite as enthralled with seeing lots of pictures of our baby as we are, but we're going to share anyway! I had my first real doctor's appointment yesterday, and not only did I get to have an unexpected ultrasound, but I also got to see one in 4D! It was so cool. The baby was moving around, and it was so much fun to see! One thing we're not quite sure of, though: why is our baby resting in a great big ear in the top picture???!!! It really looks that way, doesn't it?

Things are going well here. I'm feeling a little better but I'm still very tired. I'm hoping that subsides in the next couple of weeks, as I hear things are usually a little better in the second trimester. We can't wait to find out the sex of the baby. If we're lucky, we'll find out at our next appointment in 4 weeks. That will be a little early, but it's possible!

We are trying to prepare Alli, our furbaby, for the new arrival. We have talked to her a lot about baby Rock, but she doesn't seem interested right now. She will be confused when I have a great big belly and she can't cuddle up to me in the same way! I know, I know, we're a little bit crazy. I know things will change with her in big ways when the baby comes!

Well, I don't really know what else to post right now. Nothing too exciting is going on in our every day lives! Enjoy the pictures!

Baby Pictures!

We got to have another ultrasound today! We feel really blessed that, at nine weeks, we've already gotten to see the baby twice! We hope that trend continues! Last time, the baby just looked like a blob, but today "he" looked like a gummy bear! The heartbeat is strong, and it's so good to hear that little sound! Today we officially graduated from the Center for Reproductive Medicine, and I see my OBGYN for the first time in two weeks! They gave me this great tote bag full of cool stuff, including a teddy bear! I joked that I guess you get stuff like that when you pay so much for your baby! Actually, we were blessed and could have had to pay a lot more!

I'm doing well overall. I've definitely had some times when I felt yucky, but I know it could be worse. I'm definitely tired all the time! Dan asks sometimes how I know I'm tired from pregnancy because it's normal for me to be tired! But believe me, I know! We're just so excited to be having a baby! It gets a little more real every day!

That's the big stuff in our lives. We had a fun time with Dan's family celebrating his sister, Megan's birthday on Sunday. She's getting to bond a lot with my parents now that she's attending NGU! She gets homesick for down here, and when she's at my parent's house, I get homesick for there! But I'm so glad she has a home away from home!

Well, that's about it for now!
