3 months pregnant and counting!!

We are so happy to finally tell it to the world...we are expecting a little one on September 7th!!!

At our 12 week ultrasound today we:

Heard the heart beat (175 bpm)

Saw our little one's arms and legs just a-swingin' and a-kickin'

Found out the head to rump measurement is 2 1/2 inches (right in the ballpark for week 12)

Became even more in love than we could ever have imagined with this tiny baby

It has been an exhausting first trimester! There were many nights I went to bed around 8:30pm and slept until 6:30am (of course that was interrupted by many trips to the bathroom due to my super squashed bladder). The nausea was horrific....lasting from week 6 to week 11, and I still have to be careful around some smells.

Not too many craving so far...although there was one week when all I wanted was Mexican food. I have been drinking TONS of milk...which is not typical for me, but it tastes good...so I guess little one likes it too.

Here are some profile pics:

Febrewary

Snow has been on the ground for ages it seems. I am in desperate need of spring! The sun was out today...slowly melting away traces of winter.

Johnny has been brewing like crazy the past two months...he has pumped out an Imperial Porter, an IPA, and a Rye Pale Ale. My job is to help with the bottling...quite a fun little task actually:)

We enjoyed a nice weekend with Jason, Vanessa, and Elias in Indianapolis---complete with a rememberable Bela Fleck-African Project show at Butler University (Renee and Mike had tickets too---it was sooooo good to see them), staying up way past our bedtime catching up with friends, pancakes in the morning, and out to eat for lunch before returning home to watch Purdue win!

I have to work tomorrow...but will have a 3 day weekend coming up.

Fun things to look forward to:

Megan and Ella visiting (hopefully)

Renee and Mike's spring break and camping at the RRG

Diane coming to town soon

SPRING!!!!!

News from the New Year

We enjoyed a nice New Year's Eve with Derek, Christina, and Nala.

Some sad news from Hycliffe...our lovely little fish, Mr. Coy, who so proudly owned our little pond in the back yard, was found floating belly up 2 days ago. He was a good pet....and we will miss him. We inherited him from the previous owner of this house and he had been with us since May of 2009.

I think we will fill the pond with new Coy fish this spring.
