So...this is my first shot at the whole blog thing, so be patient with me. :) I decided to create this blog because I have a lot of distant friends/relatives that will now be able to follow our journey through this website. I will try to update it as often as I can, especially when we learn more about our "Special K."
I think to begin with, I'll go back to the start of everything. Brent and I actually found out that I was pregnant on July 10th. So for those of you that just very recently found out, don't feel bad! We told next to no one until after the first ultrasound (see pics above). At that appointment, all was looking great. Baby had a strong heart beat of 162 bpm, and it was just dancing around like crazy! Yesterday marked the 12 week mark, so one more week and I'm out of the first trimester. Honestly though, I can't complain. I haven't gotten sick (knock on wood), the nausea, although annoying at times, was bearable, and I've just been extremely tired lately. Other than that though, I've been feeling pretty good.
I don't have another ultrasound scheduled just yet, but I do have another dr appointment on September 24th. We are well on our way to March 23, 2010!!
Here's a bit of interesting information for you. With a due date of March 23, that puts me 3 days before I turn 29 (on the 26th). My mom had me 1 day before she turned 29. So yes, my birthday is the 26th, my mom's is the 27th, and I have several friends and relatives who all have birthdays during that same week. Gotta love March!
I guess that's about it for now. I'll update as often as I can, so check back often! As time progresses, I will put the ever famous "belly" pics up as well...not much to show yet, although stretchy pants have become my best friends!

Love to all,
Kristen
