BIG NEWS!!!

WE ARE HAVING A BABY!!!

We have successfully entered Week 13, leaving the first trimester behind! Our baby is due on February 2, 2011, and we are VERY excited! I have been fortunate in not being very sick, however I have spent the past 3 months sleeping about 12 hours per day!

Changes since I've been pregnant:
  • My sense of smell is impeccable!
  • The smell of clean laundry makes me sick
  • I can eat a LOT
  • Corndogs and pickles are my new favorite (unhealthy) snack
  • I never knew I would need so many bathroom breaks
Most of all, I'm just ecstatic about having a baby and we are so excited about becoming parents!

Quick story... During our last appointment, we were looking forward to hearing the baby's heartbeat; after the doctor tried to hear the heartbeat for 5 minutes with no result, he brought in an ultra-sound machine. I was in a bit of a panic, but the doctor soon calmed my fears and Jared and I were able to see the baby move! The doc said that everything looks great and the baby looks healthy, and we are so thankful to be expecting!


Currently, the baby is the size of a lime! How cute!

Jared watch out! I think the dislike for "clean laundry" is just a ploy to get you to do the laundry. :) "Let's see....what don't I like to do...."

I'm super thrilled about the little baby (not baby daddy) that is growing in you Karen!
