14w3d

I had a doctor's appointment today and just wanted to give a quick update...everything looks great and we got to hear the heartbeat again!! It was 159 beats/minute and "strong"....what do you think, boy or girl?? Also wanted to include a photo of our first baby gift! Our friend Jim's grandmother knitted these teeny-tiny booties for us...hard to believe our baby is going to be this small : )

Wedding #1

We had our first (of 8) wedding of 2010 this weekend...here are a few pics! This is 13w4d...

Questions, questions, questions?!?!

So I've had a lot of people ask me a couple classic questions about this baby...thought I'd just get the answers out in the open. NO we are not finding out the sex!! The reaction to this question from some people really cracks me up- some people are horrified by this!! It sounds cheesy and cliche, but we really have no preference and we figure this could be one of the most exciting surprises we may ever get! Question # 2 then becomes: How are you going to decorate the nursery if you can't do pink or blue??? Before we even found out we were pregnant, we decided on colors that we wanted for a nursery. We're not really pink and baby blue people (which if you've ever been to our house, you probably realize this) so we decided on yellow and gray. We are going to do gray beadboard to about picture-rail height and then paint yellow above that. The furniture will all be white. I also am going to attempt to sew all of the crib bedding...I'm getting a new sewing machine for my birthday (thanks to Mom and Dad) and am excited to get started!! This way, I can use gorgeous designer fabric for about 1/4 of the price of bedding you buy at the store. Plus, it's sort of hard to find yellow and gray baby beddding!! Here are swatches of the fabrics I'm using...   

12 weeks

Do you believe me now, Mom?? Official bump at 12 weeks!! Of course, in anything but form-fitting tops, I still just look a little chubby ; )

SNOW DAY!

Hmmm...this could make running errands today a little tough!! Lucy has spent most of the morning with her face covered in snow pushing around a buried tennis ball...she can't get enough of this stuff : )

GO COLTS!!

At home before the Super-Bowl bash at Dave and Chris's...sad the Colts lost but loved spending the day with great friends! I will be 12 weeks pregnant in 2 days!!  PS: Anyone see the Google commercial?? So great!! I have to admit, I teared up...it's the pregnancy thing, right?!

11 week belly

Still a pretty puny bump...but I'm proud of it!
