Thanksgiving

This is the baby at 11 weeks! We got a sonogram to confirm the baby's due date! This is the best picture we got because you can see the head, arms, and legs.

Today we went to the doctor and she said that everything looks perfect! I'm gaining the right amount of weight, the baby's heartbeat is right on track and all of my blood tests came back with good results! When Holly Groom, our midwife, was doing the heartbeat, we heard the baby kick! It was cutesy! She was like "your baby is so cooperative, it just doesn't like being pushed!" I told her, "push it again" so that we could hear it! Currently I am 14 weeks and 4 days along and the baby is due on May 18, 2008. Tanner and I love going to the doctor and hearing the baby's heartbeat! So in a couple months, the middle of January to be exact, we will find out what the baby is! YAY!

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and we are planning to go to the Blankenfelds in the morning/mid afternoon and then come back and eat dinner with my family!

Today Levi and Rachel flew into town and it is so good for them to be here! The family is finally complete. When Levi walked into the house from being out with dad, he greeted me and the baby and declared the new nickname for the baby "Blanker". He didn't realize that we were waiting for him to give the baby a nickname, like he did with my sister's kids.

I am so excited for Thanksgiving because my morning sickness is GONE and I can eat again, of course with caution!!!! Here's to eating!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

1st Doctor Visit

Today Tanner and I went to our first doctor's visit! It was a great day! I was really nervous to go to the doctor, but excited too! It really helped having Tanner come because he made the nerves go away. We got to hear the heartbeat of the baby!! We were so excited and could not stop smiling! There really is baby in there!!! :) It was cute, Tanner asked so many questions to the doctor! It was great having him there, because he remembered about stuff that I didn't and was very caring. So, we found out that I am 10 weeks and 3 days along and due on May 18, 2008. On Tuesday I am going in for a sonogram! YAY!! Everything seems so real and not just like I am sick for nothing!

I have to say that it is so worth every night that I was sick, to finally hear the heartbeat of our little one and know that they are developing and doing well!!

That's about it for now, but I'll update more later!

I'm Pregnant!

Well, I finally told everyone important that Tanner and I are having a little one, and so now I can post about it. I didn't want anyone finding out from my blog...a little impersonal I guess! This week I am 7 weeks pregnant! Tanner and I found out together and took the test together too. Tanner is so excited and thrilled, but also a little stressed out about money and how we will financially take care of the baby! I guess I'm not as worried because Tanner ALWAYS is so good with money and makes sure everything is taken care of :) It's nice!

I have been having nauseau, upset stomach, and morning sickness with the yucky stuff! It's been hard, but it's okay because at least I'm not sick to be sick, but sick so I can have a baby!!! Tanner and I really don't have a preference on what we want the baby to be...we just want a happy, cute, and healthy baby.

Tanner and I have been swamped with work, school and being pregnant as usual! Tanner is doing so great and is helping me so much. I sometimes feel like all I do is say, Tanner can you get this? Etc. He always does it with a smile!

We are doing well and can't wait for the 12 week mark to come along, so hopefully the sickness will dissapate! (crossed fingers)
