Baby Update

Hello to all. I want to say Congratulations to my friend Tawnya. She gave birth to her little girl, Alice Dawn Kline, this week. She is doing well and Alice is very cute!

I am now 16 weeks (as of Friday). I felt the baby kick once last week. I think I feel he/she move but as I am new to this pregnancy stuff I am not sure. I have finally stopped throwing up! Yeah! The last night I was sick was election night. I think the baby was really excited and wanted me to know it. Speaking of the election, I am really excited about how it turned out and that Indiana went blue for the first time since President Johnson ran. We have our big ultrasound scheduled for December 11. We hope to find out the sex of the baby at that time. The doctor has scheduled my c-section tentatively for Friday, April 24th.

I broke down and purchased some maternity clothes. I hate the thought of buying clothes that I can only wear for 5 more months but what are you going to do. I am trying to be creative with some of my outfits at work so that people don't realize that I am wearing the same pants two or three times a week.

Joe is doing great. He has been so amazing the past few months. I am a very lucky lady to have him around. Eli still has allergies . We have changed his diet, the seasons have changed, and still no change in his allergies. We will keep working on him. We need to buy stock in Benedryl.

I am going to take pictures this weekend of my expanding tummy. I will post them later.

Pumpkin Patch

We just got back from the pumpkin patch. Joe, Andy, Grace, and I went to the pumpkin patch to pick out pumpkins. The event included a hay ride to the pumpkin patch and back. There was also events there for the little ones. Grace was very excited to ride a miniature pony. Andy and Grace also went through a corn maze. We had a lot of fun and I think that this will be something we will do again in the future. I really recommend it.

pants too small

I am starting to grow out of my pants. Today I had to get a safety pin to pin them. Joe says that I am showing. Well I thought I'd let you know, I am off to watch the final project runway.

Joe's New Toy

Well, we finally caved and purchased a car for Joe. The Sable doesn't have heat and after an awful winter last year I promised Joe that we would get him something with heat before the next winter. We went with a 2005 Ford Escape. It looks like a family car. There actually is room for the dog, baby, Joe and I. There is also space for Joe's music equipment. I will take a picture soon and post it so you can see Joe's new baby.
On the baby front, I haven't thrown up for 2 days! Maybe I am finally starting to feel better. I will be 12 weeks on Friday. They say that the second trimester is much easier. I hope they are right!

Letting the Cat out of the Bag

I am really excited to announce that Joe and I are expecting a baby in April. I am due on May 1st, but will have a scheduled c-section in April due to my previous surgery. We are both very excited. I have been feeling very tired and have picked up some morning sickness in the last week or so, but otherwise I am feeling great! I can't believe that there is a little baby inside me. We have been to the doctor three times now and have seen the little guy/gal on ultrasound twice now. We are planing on finding out the sex of the baby at our 20 week ultrasound in December. Here is our very first ultrasound picture. He/she looks like a seahorse. He doesn't have the tail anymore and looks like a normal little baby. I will keep everyone posted on the goings on of pregnant life.
