Well, here we are at about 16 weeks. A little bump is finally starting to pop out! Kim is feeling really good since we entered the second trimester. Her energy is returning and all the nausea has passed...woo hoo! We scheduled our 20 week ultrasound for the end of February, where we'll find out the sex of the baby, so we're so excited for that! Our parents are going to join us that day too which will be really special.
We ordered our crib on Christmas day and it came this week. We were so excited that John put it together the night we got it. The crib got great reviews but we also found it this week it's one of Consumer Report's best buys, actually #1 on the list, which was great news to us! The wood matches an antique buffet piece we have that John's step dad, Chuck, is going to convert into a changing table for us. It will be such a special piece of furnature - we're very excited to have it be part of the nursery. Here's some pics of John putting the crib together...
It's all done!
This is the buffet that will be a changing table...
We had our first ultrasound on January 7th. It was so incredible we wished we could just stay there and watch it all day! The Baby was moving around like crazy the whole time, and we even saw his/her mouth moving! Seeing the little heart beating like crazy was so cool. Our due date got moved up to July 13 too. Our next ultrasound will be around 20 weeks, when we'll find out if we're having a boy or girl!
On the 23rd we had our second doctor's appointment, and got to hear our baby's heartbeat for the first time. It was probably the best sound either of us have ever heard!! What a blessing and miracle from God! Here's Kim at 10 weeks, not a whole lot of change yet ;0)
After dinner we surprised the Conley kids with a little Christmas gift. They had a great time just unwrapping it!
