They grow up so fast

It's scary how fast babies grow. At five weeks we have the beginning of all our vital organs, but are still smaller than a grain of rice. Baby Gil already has a heart that will start pumping blood this week, as well as a neural tube, liver, and brain.

Why can't men ask for directions?

Due in May

So my Grandma Bristol called me today. She said that I was the first one she was calling about some really exciting news. My cousin Matt is also having a baby in May. Matt and I both got married Sept 2 (2006,2007) and now we are both having a baby in May. What a crazy world.

4 Weeks

Today marks the fourth week for baby gil. So far the symptoms that I'm having are fatigue, light-headed, cramping, and mild nausea that isn't constant. My current weigh in is at 150 lbs. which is a huge improvement from January(+165). Goodbye abs and toes. I'll miss you.

Second Try

I still couldn't believe that I was pregnant, so I took another pregnancy test this morning (mostly because they come two in a box. what else was I going to do with it). Needless to say it's still positive.

Could it be?

So after feeling funny for over ten days, I couldn't take it any longer and tried taking a pregnancy test. Keep in mind that I wasn't due for another 4 days, so to my surprise it was positive. I thought surely that it would be negitive for at least 3 more days. Wow! I still can't believe it.

3 is fine, but 7 is better

Today I went and saw the doctor for my normal yearly visit. I told her that me and Clay have started trying this month. So she sent me home with 7 different samples of prenatal vitamins that I'm supposed to try to see which ones agree with me. I think 3 boxes would have been fine. Aren't all prenatal vitamins about the same?

A Twosome

After being together for over eight years, Clay and I have decided to turn our twosome into a family. And since our families and friends are spread all over the country, we (meaning I) wanted to keep a blog to keep everyone informed of all the baby making news and pictures, now and after the baby is born.
