Ultrasound at 10w3d
Disclaimer to all of my nurse friends: in the lower picture, the bubble-like sac is in fact the baby's brain; not a mass, tumor or cyst. Yes, I asked, and yes the size is normal!!

Look what I did!
Spencer built this workbench today for the garage...he's also working on custom cabinetry for our laundry room. Pics coming soon!
Ultrasound #3
We had an(other!) ultrasound this past Friday...my doctor didn't get great pictures with the last one, and since I don't get another one until 20 weeks, she wanted to make sure everything was okay. This baby is moving and shaking (future swimmer, possibly??) The ultrasound tech could hardly get our little one to hold still long enough to get a good picture. But she succeeded in getting a few good shots, and I was able to see the arms, legs, fingers and toes- so amazing!! Heart rate was 167 which the doctor said was perfect for 10 weeks. I posted the ultrasound pics, along with Spencer's weekend projects...working on building cabinets for the laundry room, building a workbench, and cleaning out the garage- Thank god! We also made a quick trip to Ft. Wayne on Friday for Spencer's mom's birthday...and were lucky enough to catch a Komets game- great win, Brandon!!

Beautiful Boyne
Spencer and I went on a ski trip in early January to Boyne Highlands in Michigann with 10 of our friends. Unfortunately, I was not able to ski, but had a great weekend catching up on my reading, cooking for the crew, and playing housekeeper. Oh, and was thoroughly entertained by our friends, as usual!!
Couldn't trust just one...
We're pregnant! We found out on December 16th...perfect timing to make it a
Christmas surprise for our families!
Christmas surprise for our families!
10 weeks today!!
So although this is my first post, I'll try to include some info about what's been going on for the last couple of months! I may actually be about 12 weeks along by the time you read this....I'd just really like to get through that first trimester before we spread the news to the entire internet! Honestly, I've felt pretty good since we found out I was pregnant- many 8:30pm bedtimes, minor muscle pains (they call it round ligament pain!), but just occasional nausea and only a couple episodes of dry-heaving on my way to work, thankfully! I'm definitely ready for this to feel a little more "real," although I'm assured by many of my mommy-friends that that time will come very soon!! We have had two ultrasounds so far (#3 is on Friday) and everything looks great...babe has had a heart rate in the 140's and is growing quickly. My doctor didn't get the best pictures of the baby's arms and legs on the last one (already a stubborn one, imagine that!), so that's why we're getting a repeat this week...fine by me! I have a pretty pathetic baby "bump" at this time- see pics above! Looks to me like just have had a few too many beers over the last few months- I wish! I think the news is finally sinking in with Spencer..he's been talking a lot about names, the nursery and baby-proofing the house; though he loves to rub it in that he's going to have a designated driver until next fall! I'll try to update every few weeks to keep everyone in the Kruse loop. Hope you all continue to visit!
