Christmas Recap Part 1

After our gender reveal appointment, the next week was just jam-packed with activities. Wednesday night our friends, Jen & Aaron, came over to give us our first baby outfit! Thursday afternoon we had plans to celebrate Christmas with my grandparents, aunt, and my 16 year-old cousin. I was super excited to give my cousin his [...]

“We have a third leg!”

On Tuesday night, Dec. 20th, we went to our gender ultrasound appointment. My doc won’t do gender screenings until 20 weeks, which means we wouldn’t be finding out the gender until mid-January. We tried to talk my doc’s office into letting us find out at our 16 week appointment, but no dice. But thank goodness [...]

Boy or Girl?

Post written 12/20. So tonight we’re scheduled to find out whether this little peanut growing inside of me is a boy or a girl. I’m ridiculously excited, not just about finding out, but for the ultrasound itself and getting to see the baby moving around. It was the coolest thing during my 12 week screening [...]

Common Questions

Post written Dec. 11. Now that I’m “out” about being pregnant, I get a lot of questions. And even though I’ve heard a lot of pregnant women complain about the questions – and some of the ridiculousness of them – I’m more than happy to talk about my experience (as if these frequent posts weren’t [...]

New Holiday Traditions

Post written Dec. 5 So I just read a blog post about a woman who has already planned her kid’s third birthday party. Third as in turning three years old. And he’s currently 6 months old. And to think, I haven’t even started thinking about Christmas 2012 yet! Actually, that’s a lie. We have started [...]

Announcements Galore

I just realized that I never wrote a post about telling the rest of my co-workers. Ooops! Well, here’s the gist. Every Wednesday morning we have a group meeting (there are about 25 of us in my group) and every week, it’s someone else’s turn to bring in morning treats. My supervisor was scheduled to [...]

First Trimester Testing

Post written Nov. 22 I’m just about 13 weeks now. It feels SO GOOD to be in double digit weeks. Week 10 was still a little rough but weeks 11 and 12 weren’t too bad. Last Friday, we had two doctor’s appointments. The first was my first prenatal at my OB’s office. They said it [...]
