Baby's Heartbeat

We had our first doctors appointment this week. Confirmed that we are now 14 weeks pregnant and our due date is October 18th. The most exciting part of the appointment was hearing the baby's heart beat and movements in the womb. He or she is definitely an active little bugger. The heart beat was a fast 160+ beats per minute. We also scheduled our first ultra sound for May 21st at which time we should get to find out the sex of the baby. Can't come soon enough for Chris. The baby crib was shipped from Canada this week so we should get to pick it up this next week. So we are going to clean all the guest room bedding out of the babys room and start getting it ready for the crib. It will be void of decoration until we found out if its a boy or girl, but its certainly fun to get started.

Kim is starting to get a little bit of a bulge in the belly. You can definitely tell there is something in there. Chris has been very supportive, helping with workouts, finding clothes that fit, etc.

Work is going well. We are excited for a trip to Boise next weekend for Kristy's wedding.

BABY ON THE WAY!

For some of you this is old news, for others... please don't fall off your chairs. Chris and I are expecting a baby in October. We are about 13 weeks along (starting our second trimester already). So from now on you'll see lots of blogging about the trials and tribulations of pregnancy and preparing for our little one. We are excited as can be. Took us several months of trying so it was well planned, but not sure you can really plan for this sort of thing.

Haven't gone to the doctor yet. Had some scheduling conflicts, so we are anxiously awaiting our first visit to hear the heart beat on April 16th. I'm starting to show just a little bit. Still able to wear my normal clothes for now, but don't anticipate thats going to last too long.

More to come...

30 degrees?

A little rough coming home from 80 degree weather in Florida this last week to 30 degree weather in Indianapolis.  Good reason to sit inside and relax I suppose.  Had a great week long vacation in Florida last week, but back to some serious catch up at work next week.  

Florida Day 4 and 5

Tuesday: got the chance to stay at an awesome time share resort in Orlando for two nights. It was definitely first class. Went to Universal City Walk on Tuesday night and had dinner at Bubba Gump's Shrimp Company.

Wednesday: hung around Ron & Merry's place, had some excellent BBQ at Hungry Harry's, then hung around the lanai watching all the wildlife from the back porch.

Saturday: part of the group went to the flea market and secured some fantastic sunglasses and purses. Other part of the group hit a state park to check out the manatees and other creatures. Here are some pics from the state park.
