11 Weeks Down - 29 To Go

It has been a very exciting week for Braden and me. First, we started the week off hearing the baby's heart beat. It was amazing to get to hear the heart beating. Second, we decided to start telling our family and friends the good news. It was a pleasure to share our joy with those we love.

Being pregnant has been an interesting process. My body is getting "soft" but I have not gained any weight yet. I think the no weight gain is due to the fact that I have been nauseous for the last few weeks. Not really sick - just not feeling 100% all the time. When I can eat, I try to eat healthy nutritious meals so that I am getting my vitamins and keeping the baby healthy. Other than that, I have been doing great. Braden and I keep up with weekly developments of the baby (this week the baby is the size of a fig).

I have to take a minute to brag on my wonderful, amazing husband. Braden has been a saint while I have been feeling bad. He is the first to jump up and get me crackers, ginger ale, anything I might want or need. He cooks dinner every night (even if I can't eat), cleans the kitchen, cares for the dog, and without fail takes care of me. I have been blessed with such a great husband and do not take him for granted.

Thank you to all our friends and family for sharing this special time in our lives. Check back to see developments and watch my tummy grow.
