Clarification...

Just to let you all know, I was just kidding about the baby's gender being female... We're actually not sure yet, we haven't found out and we won't be able to until probably Week 20. But I think I'm kind of hoping for a girl first, but I'd just be happy with a healthy baby, whichever gender!

So, place your vote to the right and see if you're correct! I'll post the gender once we find out!

15 Weeks!

Our little one is just cruising through the produce aisle...This week they are the size of an apple! Here's what BabyCenter.com has to say about what's going on in the womb:

Your growing baby now measures about 4 inches long, crown to rump, and weighs in at about 2 1/2 ounces (about the size of an apple). She's busy moving amniotic fluid through her nose and upper respiratory tract, which helps the primitive air sacs in her lungs begin to develop. Her legs are growing longer than her arms now, and she can move all of her joints and limbs. Although her eyelids are still fused shut, she can sense light. If you shine a flashlight at your tummy, for instance, she's likely to move away from the beam.
You all read it! It's going to be a girl! ;)

Last week it was a lemon, this week an apple...Any guesses to what it might be next week?!

14 Weeks and the 1st Craving!

I went to the doctor's today and heard the heart beat again, 151 bpm this time. We are so grateful to have a healthy baby, so far.

I'm so glad to be in the 2nd trimester now! I feel like I have more energy and motivation to do more things around the house (apt), but my appetite is still slow in coming back...I hope it does come back eventually! I still can't really do any version of ground beef, and therefore mexican food. But I had my first craving: Cheddar Cheese Pringles! Not sure why, but I guess I don't have to, I'm pregnant!

Christmas Down and No Camera...

Hey Family and Friends! Being New Year's Day we took our Christmas tree down and all the decor that went with it. We are officially finished with Christmas this year, which is always bittersweet. But unfortunately through the holidays this year our camera decided to die, so I have no pictures of the holidays or of our newly "undecorated" apartment. If any of you have a camera you're not using and would like us to borrow it, we would be much obliged. :)
