Our little peanut...

I think most of you guessed it, we're going to have a baby! Here is the basic info...

Due date: May 25th

Weeks along: 15

Boy or girl: We'll find out on Jan. 6th (my birthday!)

Here is a picture of our little fetus...this ultrasound was done at 10 weeks so it's hard to make out anything. It just looks like a little peanut. It was so fun when we got the ultrasound. At first the little thing was just chillin' in my womb and my doctor wanted to get it to move a little bit for us so she pushed on it a little and it started wiggling like crazy and the hand waved at us! Peanut totally knew it was on camera!

Something I thought was interesting about my first dr. appt.: The goo they put on your tummy when they do an ultrasound is hot, not cold! I was pleasantly surprised! Also, I think they are smart to not send parents home with a detailed picture at only 10 weeks because it might freak them out! They are still alien baby-looking at that point so I am very grateful for the blurry blob picture where you can make out the basic parts.

Now it's about the size of an apple(4 inches long)...it's funny how in my pregnancy book they keep comparing the size of the baby every week to fruit. Since we don't know the sex, we've been calling the baby the fruit that it is the size of that week. It started off as Blueberry, then went to Raspberry, Kumquat, etc. This week it is Apple.

I'm happy that I'm now in my 2nd tri. The first was a little rough, not too bad though. I'm glad to be past the barfing/nausea stuff, although it does flare up every now and then. And can I tell you another thing I'm happy about...no more secrets!!! I can't tell you how hard it was to keep this a secret, especially the past few weeks because my baby bump has become more visible! And it's just such exciting news! We told my family 3 weeks ago and just told Trey's family on Thanksgiving.

We told my fam by showing them this...

...yeah it's a pregnancy test cake, one of my fun cake creations.

We told Trey's fam by giving his dad an ultrasound picture (shown above) in his birthday card (his birthday was on Thanksgiving this year). We thought another grandchild was a pretty good birthday surprise.

It's been fun telling people, everyone's reactions have been great! Almost all of the sister-in-laws guessed that I was pregnant before we told them, they must have a crazy 6th sense or something. This will be grandchild #5 on Trey's family's side and grandchild #20 on my family's side. Crazy!!!
