a family of three {and a 1/3}




Yep, we're having a baby!

The ultrasound above was done at 10 weeks. I never got a 4D ultrasound with Nate but I got one this time. Talk about amazing! This little guy is the size of a bean so to be able to see the detail like you can see above was awesome.
A few things about this pregnancy . . .
- I am 13 weeks along. 1/3 of the pregnancy is already over!
- I am due on February 15th. Fingers are crossed we don't have a Valentines baby for his/her sake.
- We've only known about this little runt for a few weeks! Long story.
- I am already looking fat. I can't wait until I look pregnant instead of looking like I ate too many twinkies. Shouldn't be long at this rate.
- Have I been sick? Not really. I went through a phase where I got nauseous if I didn't eat all day long. So, I ate all day long and was fine! And now, I'm feeling normal.
- I was absolutely exhausted for about a month. I'm still tired but nothing like before!
- My ultra-pregnancy-smeller-nose has kicked in. Oh, man.
- Out-of-the-ordinary cravings? Bagels and cottage cheese.
- While Nate has no idea what this new baby will mean to his life - he sure loves saying "baby mommy tummy". He even gives my tummy a raspberry and says "hi baby."

I really do enjoy being pregnant so I'm excited for the next 6 months!

About dang time! Just kidding! We really are so excited for you guys. If we ever figure out how to do 2 kids we'll let you know our secret...not likely!

Ali said...

I agree...Nate is looking pretty thrilled. Just about as excited as when he received his "Big Brother" book and I lost the hearing in my right ear.

I think he loves the tummy and the kisses but already knows that a baby means trouble....

Alisha said...

Thrilled that all is going well! I would love a pregnancy where I found out that I was almost through the first trimester before I even knew I was pregnant...lucky you. WE can't wait for February!!!

Laurel said...

YEAH!!! I'm so excited for you guys. And, I especially appreciated the phone call. I'm glad that you weren't too sick in the 1st trimester.

Bella Beginnings said...

Congrats!!!! I am so excited for you. Cool picture and at so young... You will be amazing. I am happy that you have not been too sick, and serioulsy about not finding out too early, it just makes it go by faster. With my second- I ddin't tell anyone until I was about 16 weeks. It was seriously the fastest pregnancy. Congrats again!

The Jacksons said...

Congratulations! I'll let Joe know.

Kelsey said...

YEAH! That is so awesome! CONGRATS! But I want to hear this story that is a "long" story!????

Unknown said...

So exciting! I love that you didn't know for forever. I would love to (when I decide I want another baby) all the sudden find out I was like 3 months along. It would be so great.

Hillary said...
