The "apple" of my eye...

Well, I got my email notification that Peanut is now 15 weeks along!  Peanut is growing a bunch and is now the size of an apple.  He/she is 4 inches long (from crown to rump) and weighs about 2 1/2 ounces.  

Growing Belly:

My clothes have been feeling a little snugger in the waist line, so I went to a maternity store to get a few items.  I didn't really think I needed pants yet, because I can wear them low, but I did need some longer shirts to cover my growing belly and my (sometimes unbuttoned) pants.  Mom and I had a great time getting a few items, along with a pair of jeans.  LOVE THEM!  I have never owned such comfort!  It feels SO good to let my belly out and not have it be squeezed into pants.  I think I am about at the point of needing some pants.  I just hate the feeling of tightness on my tummy.  It is such a good sign though, because it means the baby is growing!

Boy or girl???

Eddie and I are SO excited about this little growing bean.  Eddie can not wait to find out the sex.  Surprisingly, I have been the patient one, and he just can not stand not knowing.  At my last appointment, I asked the doctor when we'd be able to find out and he said not at the next appointment, but at the one after that (translation: 2 months!) When I told Eddie he said, "Oh, that's not soon enough. We need to know sooner!"  Can you imagine us ever not finding out??  We are horrible! What do you think?  Boy or girl?  Turn your opinion in at the poll in the top corner.  

The Nursery Transformation:

While we were in Paris, we had the loft upstairs closed in to become the nursery.  It was SO cool to come home to the nursery taking shape!  We want to wait until we know the sex to get it painted, so right now it doesn't look so good, but it is going to be the cutest nursery ever!!!  We already have a changing table so we have a start!  

I will post pictures of everything as we take them.  I would like to start taking weekly pictures of my growing belly so we can track it :)

Peanut went to Paris!!

Smoochin' in front of the tower!
Peanut went to Paris at 12 weeks.  It was SUCH a fun trip and I felt great the whole time.  The plane ride was easy and it was a very fun trip and me and Eddie to take together.  We need to take advantage of those times now, before we have a bambino running around!

Peanut is growing! :) (At least I am imagining it is!)

No drinking for pregnant girls! :)

PEANUT GOES TO PARIS!

On Friday, we are taking a Jones trip to Paris/Normandy.  I am SO excited and I know Eddie is too.  I am a little nervous about flying over there.  I have been so lucky so far with sickness, so I am really hoping that continues... I can't think of a worse place to get sick than up in the air over the ocean!  The doctors just said to drink plenty of fluids and to get up and walk around every hour.  Should be an interesting flight!

Eddie has already checked our seats to make sure I had an aisle seat so I wouldn't have to ask someone to move all the time!  

I will take a ton of pictures of the 3 of us in Paris (mom, dad, and PEANUT), so I will post them when we get back.  

I am still figuring out this whole blogging thing.  Hopefully I will get the hang of it before too long :)

9 weeks check up

On the 17th of February, I had my monthly check up with Dr. Miller.  Everything was looking good... but we had a little scare.  She tried to use the doppler (a microphone looking thing) to check for a heart beat, but couldn't find one!  I was freaked out, of course, and kept asking if I should call Eddie.  She took me into the ultrasound room where Heather, the technician, found the heart beat right away :).  So it ended up being a great visit because I got more pictures of little peanut!!!  I did not get them on a disk this time so I would have to take a picture with my iPhone, then upload them, and I am not sure it would turn out so great... there will be attempts though!

Peanut is growing!
