Week 18

Somehow, it is a week later and Erin is smaller. I have no plausible explanation.

Week 17 Update

Week 17 update. Erin is showing.

Quick Update

If you've noticed the new background, Erin made me do it.

15 Weeks

Well, Erin is now 15 weeks along. She was in Orlando last weekend, the reason for me not posting. Since the last entry, we found out that we are having a girl! We are working on names and having quite a time trying to agree on one. Erin can't seem to shake the nausea even though she's in the 2nd trimester. Hopefully this won't last the entire pregnancy. The baby (and the mom) seems to like chocolate which helps with the nausea. We should be around this weekend and I'll post again then.

13 Weeks

Here is an update at 13 weeks. We had a doctor appointment on Thursday with genetic screening and an ultrasound. The genetic screening was to alert of us any possible issues based on our family backgrounds and data gleaned from the ultrasound. At this point, there were no issues. We got to see the baby jumping and moving around on the ultrasound, which was awesome! The baby has long legs (like Erin). The blood work analysis will be complete this week and we'll know the sex (within 99% accuracy, which is apparently better than the accuracy of the ultrasound at 20 weeks). All this means is Erin is calling the lab's 1-800 number 4 times a day to find the results even though the doctor said it would take 7 to 10 business days. I'll let you know this week what the results were.

12 Week Update

Here is an update at 12 weeks. Not much of a difference. She's pretty tired all the time, but the nausea is getting better each day. We have the next ultrasound in 9 days and we'll hopefully find out the sex.

Erin's pregnant!

Since Erin's pregnant, I suppose we are supposed to make a blog with pictures and updates. So here it is. She's 11 weeks along and we are 2 weeks away from finding out the sex of the baby! She hasn't been feeling well, but is starting to get a little better. I won't post any photos of her barfing. :) She managed to lose weight for the first 5 weeks and started showing early which made us (and the doctor) think it could be twins. But, the first ultrasound showed only one baby. I'll try to post another picture next week.
