13 Weeks!!!

Wow, today was very eventful!! As most of you have read by now on my facebook page, we rescued 4 newborn bunnies this afternoon. I had gotten back from work and was in the process of letting Luke out to go potty. I saw some movement on our patio out of the corner of my eye. It turns out there were 2 baby bunnies hiding near our back door! Upon walking in the grassy area out back, I almost stepped in the burrow that housed 2 more babies. Unfortunately there was another bunny that had been torn to shreds right outside the hole. I came to the conclusion that a lawnmower had it's way with the precious bunnies this morning. One of the ones we found was missing half of its ears...almost like they had been chopped off :(. Overall it turned out to be a blessing that I found them though. They are now safe and sound. Thank God!!!

Onto baby news..We had our 12 week appointment with the midwife last week and everything is going well. She couldn't find the heartbeat with the doppler so we had to get an ultrasound (bonus!) which showed the heart and the nugget of course. Just fabulous! My clothes are getting tighter and tighter but I'm convinced that it's still due to my sluggish digestive system. I guess technically it's showing because it's all due to the baby but really the Nugget is just barely peeking over my pubic bone this week so for everyone who sees me and thinks its the baby....it's not....but i cant wait until it is :)!!!! I'm really excited for the day when I can feel our little booger. LOL. I feel like I've been pregnant for a lifetime already and I still have 6 months to go. I need to practice that whole patience thing. I've NEVER hoped for winter time in my life so this is a first. Speaking of weather, if you aren't in Columbus, it's like a sauna right now. Today's heat index was 107, add to that humidity, and it just plain stinks!!!

That's all for now. I hope everyone is great and staying cool. We love you!

 PS- The Nugget is facebook official so feel free to tell anyone and everyone. HaHa

11 Weeks!!!

Sorry it's been so long since my last update....my bad. I guess I do have the 4th of July festivities as an excuse for some of my laziness but still, I should have been more on top of things.

Lets see...we had a great holiday with a wonderful cookout at my boss's house and we topped off the weekend with a concert by Smokey Robinson and some really great fireworks in Dublin.  Oops, wait a few minutes. It's time for our nightly walk. Be right back :)     

OK, fast forward 30 mins and I'm back. I've been walking multiple times a day to try and stay in some sort of shape but it just doesnt feel like it's working. I was told last week that i looked like i was showing. Seeing as how the baby was the size of a tube of lipstick last week i know it's not baby showing :( I'm just so bloated and retaining a lot of water. Now i'm not complaining but it is a strange thing to feel so heavy and to see my body changing in so many ways this early on.

I almost forgot to give a shout out to our two closest "couple" friends who recently had their own little bundles of joy. Congrats to the Dezern family and the Baldwin family. I'm sure that one day, depending on what we end up having that an arranged marriage will be set up either with Wyatt Dezern or Adeline Baldwin. LOL. We love you guys and cant wait to watch our kids grow together!

Sorry there isn't more pregnancy related news to share. My symptoms haven't changed too much. I'm still tired and like i said earlier....growing a gut...I'm just super excited for the time when i know what it's coming from! Oh and I'll try to post again this week. It will be the big 12 week mark and we'll have had another checkup. I cant wait to hear the heartbeat again!!!! We love you all!!
