Spent the weekend in Ephrata – it was super fun (Heather, Margie Lou and Mommy threw me a baby shower at Heather’s house) except for having to drive back to the west side of the mountains (for multiple reasons). The pass was bad.

Almost 32 Weeks
Monday, March 16th, 200930 Weeks
Sunday, March 8th, 2009Had Tobin take a picture of me after church (and Red Robin) today… We’re at 30 weeks – actually Wed will be 31. Wow. So much to do in so little time!

10 Weeks
Friday, October 10th, 2008So today marks 10 weeks in this pregnancy. Pretty exciting.
By the end of Week 10, your baby graduates from embryo to fetus, which literally means “little one.” It also translates to “I’m just going to keep getting bigger and bigger and so are you!”
Your baby now has discernible fingers and toes, which will explain the steady stream of kicks and punches you’ll feel down the line.
I’m hoping that I’m nearly out of the woods as far as the nausea is concerned. (Maybe I’m just managing it better? I don’t know.) I have felt better nearly this whole week – with the exception of throwing up first thing Wednesday morning.
So what has the pregnancy looked like over the last few weeks? Well I’ve been super tired, and until recently, very nauseous. We took the youth to Convention last weekend in Yakima, and I had to have Tobin take me to the hotel during the festivities on Friday night as I was just exhausted. I’ve basically been getting home from work and resting. (Right now a nap sounds great.) :) I did get a bunch of decent pics though from the Conference… Shot in manual nearly the whole time.
This has been an especially tough week at work (the hardest week yet of my 5 years at Biblesoft). I’m glad it’s Friday and I’ll soon be able to put this week behind me.
Margie Lou is super excited to be an aunt. She called me up the other day to tell me all the patterns she’d bought to make baby things for our baby. :) Pretty fun. She wants us to find out the gender ASAP. I originally thought 20 weeks was the time when that could happen, but it looks like an ultrasound can find that out as early as 18 weeks. That means we might know before Christmas if we’re having a boy or a girl. I’d like to know so we can really focus on names (two lists are a lot of work), and maybe start a baby registry.
First Ultrasound (8 weeks)
Tuesday, October 7th, 2008I had every intention of posting this yesterday but got home from our 2 hour long doctor’s appointment and immediately took a 2 hour nap. :)
Yesterday was our first ultrasound. It was very cool. :) We got to see the baby’s heart beating. That was really amazing. Life is so amazing! Every time I think about this, I am reminded of what an awesome Creator we have.
Pregnant
Wednesday, September 17th, 2008So Friday morning I took a pregnancy test and it came back positive… Scheduled a doctor’s appointment later in the day and they confirmed what we were already suspicious – we’re pregnant! The doctor informed me I was 5 weeks along and had a due date of May 15. :)
Tobin and I debated about keeping it a secret until I started showing, but realized there was no way we wanted to keep that big of a secret that long. So Friday night we drove to Anacortes. There was a lot of family at Tobin’s parents’ house as his Grandma recently had a stroke. We showed up and brought Greg’s early birthday present with us (little did he knew what it held). I told Greg he’s have to open the present before we left (but really I was hoping much sooner than that). Greg proceeded to eat his dessert painstakingly slow (the suspense was killing me). We were there for about 2 hours before Greg finally opened his present. (more…)
