18 Weeks

Little "n" is becoming quite the gymnast--ok, that might be the wrong description if this is a boy, but anyway....We have a lot of movement going on in there. We went to the doctor a week and a half ago and the heartbeat was nice and strong. The Dr. had to chase it around a little bit, but it gave us a pretty good listen. I have gained 4 pounds and still feel great! We have our appointment to find out the sex on Monday February 9th and we can't wait! Let's cross our fingers that the little stinker cooperates and shows us what it's got!

13 Weeks!

We had our second Dr. appt at 13 weeks, two days before Christmas. The Dr. tried very hard to listen to the heartbeat, but Little n didn't want to cooperate. There was a bit of tension as we tried not to worry ourselves...or each other. Finally, the Dr. opted to do another ultrasound to make sure everything was alright. Thankfully, everything was fine! As a bonus for worrying us to death, Little n decided to put on a show for us and kick it's legs and hang out in front of the camera for awhile. We got a pretty good, almost freaky view of the face and nicknamed it Predator (it looks just like it).....until Grandma Sheri told us we couldn't use that name anymore!.....we still do sometimes......don't tell! To help in the Predator viewing, look at the top of the pic, it's laying on it's side, looking right at the camera. Life size in this photo is about the size of a pinky finger!

History of the Little "n"

Nate and I had our first Dr. appt and ultrasound on November 23rd. I had been feeling so well and had no real symptoms other than a complete aversion to chicken (even talking about it caused me to gag), that I was honestly shocked to see that the little bugger was in there and moving all around. Top this off with super strong heartbeat (171) and measurements indicating that we were 9 weeks along and we left the hospital with a new sense of WOW....this is really happening.

Ok, ok, I am blogging......:-)

Well since everyone I know is so much better than I am about stuff like this and due to the fact that we are expecting our little addition in June, I figure it is time to jump on the band wagon and check out the whole blogging scene. Don't expect too much from me...I am learning :-)
