First 'check'

Reality set in yesterday at the doctor's office...I am dilated between a 0 and 1, baby is head down, and although he/she will not be here for a few more weeks, anytime from now on out is safe sailing!! Dr. Costa assumes that the baby weighs around 6 1/2 pounds now...which makes me assume that baby will be between 8 and 9 pounds at birth!!

We are still counting down the days and getting more and more excited/nervous/scared knowing the day is getting closer and closer!! Wish us luck and we will let you all know when the little one arrives!

Updates!!

We are down to 6.5 weeks remaining and are visiting the doctor every two weeks at this point! I would like to not go to the doctor so much but prenatal care is very important and if anything were to go wrong it is very likely that with frequent visits we would be able to catch them very quickly!

Dr. Costa said that I am measuring at 34 weeks and am 33 weeks along so things are pretty much right on track. She said we may end up doing an ultrasound in another couple of weeks to check the exact size of the baby but she doesn't, at this point, think that will be necessary!

Luckily we have had a wonderful pregnancy so far and hope that the home stretch goes as well as the beginning. We will keep updating as the time gets closer and closer-cannot believe that the baby will be here before too long! I am ready to see what the sex of the baby is and see what he or she looks like but am also getting very anxious and nervous about becoming a parent!

It's a....SURPRISE!!!

We had our sonogram Friday the 5th and everything looks great. The baby is 1 lb and 1 oz, they didn't tell us the length. All of the major organs are functioning properly and the baby is growing proportionally so far. We were glad to get a wonderful report and though I did not want to find out what the sex was Brett did--he knows and I do not. He had to swear to me over and over that he wouldn't tell a soul-there are serious consequences if he does.

This Week...

I am currently 21 weeks pregnant...we get our ultrasound this Friday-Dec 5th-and even though we are not finding out what the baby is we are excited! I will post the pics soon thereafter!

Wedding Photos...here are a few photos from the wedding for your viewing pleasure. Leave a comment if you feel the desire...we are very pleased with our photos-regards to Thomsen Photography.

Perfect!

The wedding was Saturday and it was absolutely perfect. A perfect day, perfect weather, perfect ceremony, and perfect night! I could not have asked for a better wedding day and I am very grateful for all of our friends and family members that were able to be there and for all of the wonderful gifts! We love you all and we appreciate it very much!! We are heading out Wednesday morning for a honeymoon in Nashville and will be back Sunday--take care!

Brand New!!!

I got the idea to start this blog from Erin, Brett's cousin in CO. She posts all of the time and it has been a great way to keep up on everything even though they are so far away. That is my goal-to keep in touch with those who are far and near and to update the fun stuff in our lives--they are pretty boring right now: but with the wedding coming up things are bound to get more interesting in the near future! Have a great day and leave some comments if you wish!!
