Holidays

This past weekend was Easter. Easter over the past few years hasn't been really a big deal, usually we get together with family and have ham and do the normal "family holiday get together". I can't help but think about when Jason and I were younger and we used to go over to Nana's for Easter Sunday and all the cousins would have an egg hunt and then we'd have a big early dinner. David talks about when he was young, his parents would get big bunny feet cutouts and dip them in flour and they would be all over the yard, just like the Easter bunny was actually there! We have definitely made a  mental note to do this for our little one. The Holiday Traditions that were created over my younger years are always special because when we lived in CT we had all our family close together and it was great. When we moved to NC the Holidays definitely lacked but we still always had a good time and there were usually friends that stopped by and games that were played. Now that I am married and once we have the little peanut, we will create our own traditions and I am so excited for that. We are both lucky that our parents and siblings are pretty close. I do wish Nana, Betsey and Bonnie lived closer, but I also enjoy my CT visits. The thought of Christmas with a baby just brings a smile to my face, everything will be so new, Santa will be "real" and there will be TOYS! lots of TOYS!

13 week appointment

So this week the babe is the size of a peach, that's pretty big considering it was a raspberry not too long ago! Today we had our 13 week appointment. It was a pretty quick appointment but we got to hear the heartbeat, which was super cool and helped me relieve the lingering doubt in my head that something was wrong. I have gained 3 lbs total which is right on track the Dr. said. I have to say I still don't "feel" pregnant. I am super tired by the time I am done with work and of course I am still peeing every 20 minutes. We have our next appointment May 13th and they will be doing an ultra sound to look at the spine, organs and be able to tell us the sex WOOHOO! I feel like once we know the sex "it" will be so much more real. I am so excited to buy little outfits and get the nursery all planned.

 Such exciting times ahead...
