Brandon and I are very happy to announce that we are expecting our first baby next Spring! This picture is unfortunately a little dark - but you may be able to detect 2 arms and 2 legs - which I've heard are pretty important in this whole "making a human" thing! We had our 1st ultrasound earlier this week and we were able to hear the heartbeat and see the baby waving his/her arms and legs. Needless to say, it was pretty amazing.
So far, things have been good. I'm starting to get through the nausea/vomiting glory that is the 1st trimester and everyday I feel a little better . Brandon has been extra caring and has picked up some extra slack around the house which is always nice. The fatigue is also starting to subside which is nice because for about 3 1/2 weeks I was really afraid that one of my employees would catch me in my office taking my afternoon nap around 2:30!
We anxiously await week 20 when we will find out the sex....I keep having dreams that it's a girl (sorry B).
BUT more importantly we VERY much await the arrival of our new nephew - who should be making his debut in 7 short days!! SO EXCITING!!
Thanks to everyone for all of the well wishes and prayers - it certainly wasn't easy to keep this giant secret for 13 whole weeks...and it's fun to be able to share it now with the ones we love.
Stay tuned....
Just a quick update on our favorite nephew! Ryker is 2 weeks old today, which is hard to believe. All is well - he's slowly starting to figure out his days and nights..although his mom might disagree :) His little cheeks are starting to fill out and he looks more like his dad every day. It's been a lot of fun being able to be a part of his first 2 weeks and we look forward to continuing to watch him grow.
