and baby makes three.

well, four if you count tuck.

hey everyone! i started this little bloggity blog to post some pictures of me getting fat over the next six months. aren't you excited?!

we figured we'd post the sonogram pictures and belly shots here so it's a little more private than facebook.  we love you guys and we're so excited about our new addition!

tomorrow is my 13 week appointment... here's a poor iphone shot of me today and the five pounds i've already gained! thanks baby! glad you're comfortable!

don't worry. i'm not alone in this. billy promises he will get fat too...

yeah right.

moving right along!

some general information for all!

we are due at the end of february. (hopefully the weather will be a little more accommodating this winter, or billy's going to have to pull a little house on the prairie.)

i feel much better now, although i was lucky enough to not be puking my way through the first trimester.  just lots of nausea and extreme laziness.  there were handfuls of dry cereal in our bed for 8 weeks... billy's glad that's over with! crunch crunch.

we decided to go the more traditional route, and i have an amazing group of midwives, nurses, (and even *gasp* doctors!) at the fantastic bryn mawr birth center, where i have always gone for my regular gal services.  we just love them there!  don't worry, it's not a log cabin at the end of our creek, and the highly ranked bryn mawr hospital is right across the street in the event that something serious happen, like i break billy's hand during labor.

mandy was amazing enough to give me a yoga membership and i have traded in my daily runs for daily yoga sessions.  i absolutely love it, especially my prenatal class!  

billy of course is phenomenal and excited as well! he has always been the most patient man ever, but his tolerance never ceases to amaze me.  he doesn't even question it when we have crab legs and spaghetti o's and french's onion rings for dinner.   what a trooper!  we rented a little baby doppler and dr. billy is a pro at finding the baby's heartbeat for us to listen to every night! although, this kid is either really shy or really hyperactive. we literally have to chase him around my abdomen.

well, we don't know if it's a him! but we will be finding out next month! don't worry none of that gender neutral baby clothes business.  mostly we're finding out so we can start asking for prayer early if it's a girl. *shudder*

in non-baby related business, our house is coming right along thanks to mom and dad who come up here most weekends and motivate us into tackling projects, or just tackle them themselves!  i'll post some before and after pictures up here in blogs to come so we don't all get tired of froo froo baby stuff.

love!
