I have a photo! This is me at 15 weeks, I think I'm starting to show a bit, even though I haven't gained any weight yet. It's amazing to think that in less than 6 months we'll have a baby in our arms!

12 and 13 weeks
Sorry I haven't been very good at updating the blog... I don't even have any new pictures to post...but I do have a few updates :)
We went to the doctor on Friday, March 7th for a regular OB appointment. Peter came with to this one. We heard our baby's heartbeat for the first time! What a miracle! The doctor said it sounded perfect...we agreed!
I am 13 weeks now, and have been told that for a lot of women, this is the week they start feeling better...I'm still waiting for that! I came down with a stomach virus and wasn't able to keep food down...I actually lost 5 pounds between my appointments. My friend took me the doctor on Friday (Thanks, Stacey!), and I had an IV to hydrate me. At one point, there were two nurses, a lab technician, a doctor, and a medical student all trying to find a good vein in my arms (because I was so dehydrated, it was really difficult to find a vein). It sounds like the start of a bad joke, "How many medical professionals does it take to put in an IV?"
I was able to keep some food/water down Friday night and by Saturday night, I was feeling much better! I'm still a bit tired, and still sick in the mornings...but comparatively, I'm feeling great. :)
I'll try to start taking weekly pictures again...I guess I am officially in my second trimester, so my baby belly may make an appearance sooner than later...
In other news, we are still looking for a house--keep us in your prayers! My brother-in-law got a new job in Appleton (Congrats, Kurt!). Erin and Kurt will be moving the end of this month.
May you all have a blessed Easter!

11 weeks
I apparently totally missed 10 weeks... Highlights of week 10 were Hilary cleaning my bathroom and throwing out the cat's litterbox (thank you, Hilary!!!)
Highlights of week 11 were celebrating my birthday with my family and relaxing at a bed and breakfast with Peter. I also went to my friend Darcy's baby shower. Here are a few photos from the occasion:
Johanna (due Sept. 22) and Darcy (due March 22), exactly 6 mos. apart!!
