Woo Wee

I know, I know its been another long break in time since I have updated my blog. But I do say that I have a pretty good reason... So I will start from the beginning. Over Christmas Neal and I headed up  to Wisconsin to visit his mom. We also were able to visit his grandparents. We then headed up to the Minneapolis area to spend a few days with Luke, Elise and Vienna. There we had great company and great food and Neal found a coffee shop that we made a special trip into the city for (I do have to say that it was worth it). By the end of our great trip both Neal and I were getting sick. So that was not a fun way to end our trip but what can you do? At least Neal got over his cold in a few days. I one the other hand did not. Since what I first thought was a cold actually turned out to be morning sickness! Yes, we are going to be welcoming the newest member of our family at the end of August! So for the next 8 weeks or so I was continuously queasy and always wanting to take a nap. Now I am finally feeling better and not feeling so tired. The way I told Neal you ask? Well I took the test right before Neal got home from work and I put it on the table. He gets home and puts his coffee cup right next to it and heads outside to play fetch with Ne-J. So while he is outside I move it even closer to his cup. Neal then comes back inside and the he gets this inquisitive look on this face and leans closer to the test. With this goofy grin on his face he asks "Really??!!". So for the last few weeks we have been taking pictures of my growing belly (I can tell its growing but others not so much).

This last week we had our Sonogram to measure how far along we are and the baby measured at about 15 weeks. We were able to get several pictures and of course the baby was always moving so they are not the best but what do you expect from an ultrasound. It was so cool to be able to see our baby for the first time and hear its heart beat. It makes it so much more real!
