Peanut

Our little babe "Peanut" checked out perfectly yesterday.  HB was 161 BPM and s/he measured 8W6D which is one day ahead.  Seeing the flutter of the heartbeat was just as amazing as it was with Drew and we are now officially over the moon with excitement.  It is always nice to get confirmation that all is well!

We told Drew yesterday that Mama had a baby growing in her belly and he has been so cute and so excited.  He keep telling us that the baby will LOVE his kitchen, tool bench, blocks, playdoh,etc.  He also tells us how he will share his food with the baby, take the baby in his red sled, take it swimming, etc.  Needless to say he is quite ecstatic as well.

I am definitely sicker this pregnancy than I was with Drew.  The exhaustion is terrible too....I am sure it doesn't help that thereis a 2 year old to chase around this pregnancy.  Only about a month more and we will be in the bliss of the second tri!  I will take all of the yuck, though, becuase that means Peanut is growing!

We are so very blessed!!!

Tomorrow

Tomorrow is our first ultrasound......I am giddy with excitement and nervous all at the same time. I will be 8 weeks 5days. Based on the ick I have been feeling, there is nothing to worry about. I think I feel yuckier than I did when I was pregnant with Drew.

Little Man still has no idea that he is going to be a big brother. We are waiting to tell him until we are sure everything is fine. I had a dream that we told him and his response was "I don't want one" We'll see how it goes in reality!

We have had lots of fun playing in the snow lately!













A lady at work gave us a wonderful tool bench and dude has thoroughly enjoyed fixing things all over the house!

We will update tomorrow after the appt!
