First Trimester

Hello my sweet plum! Yep you are as big as a plum! I am almost through my first trimester and I can feel you in every inch of me. I started off my pregnancy not thinking I would have any symptoms but alas those symptoms have arrived. The worst part is smell...every time I get a whiff of a bad odor my stomach does a flip flop. Of course, teaching freshman boys certainly does not help. Regardless, your daddy and I are beside ourselves excited.

At our second doctor's appointment we got to see another picture of you, growing, growing, growing! And then at our third doctor's appointment we got to hear your heartbeat. One of the best sounds in the world. Daddy even recorded it so we can play it anytime we want. :)

Next time we have a doctor's appointment you'll be 16 weeks in there! And the appointment after that is to find out if you're a little girl or a little boy :) I've set up a romantic night just for daddy & I to find out about you. We are so excited to have you be a part of our lives little one!

Let's see what else is going on... well mommy only feels the best when her tummy is full and when I'm in bed. :) Which doesn't happen as often as I'd like. I'm craving comfort food....mashed potatoes, pasta, bread, grilled cheese, peanut butter and bananas. I have been walking and went to a prenatal class the other day, which I loved.

My best friend, Dana, which is going to be Aunt Dana to you is in her third trimester. Your best friend, Piper, will be born the end of December or early January!!! So exciting. Dana and I look forward to rocking our babies on our front porch. :) We'll make so many awesome memories together.

Everyone thinks you are a girl, your heart rate was 150 and most say that if it's above 140 the baby is a girl...or a hyper boy! Haha. So we'll see. I am excited for you to be a boy or a girl... I just want healthy, strong and tall. :)

We love you sweet one!
