Snow Day

This is one of those days that I just love being a teacher.  Why you might ask - because it's a snow day!!!  So I'm enjoying this lazy time before the baby's here to get some things organized around the house - or procrastinate doing those things and sit on the couch watching TV instead!  But I'm watching "A Baby Story" and "Bringing Home Baby" so that would count as preparing for the baby right?  Haha...

Anyways, the countdown is on - 6 days until we find out the sex of baby W!  It's all starting to feel more real:  We should be able to start calling the baby "he" or "she" soon instead of just "it" :) and I have definitely felt the baby moving!  I mostly feel it at night but sometimes during the day too.  It's so exciting!  Since I've been feeling better the past few weeks, I sometimes almost forget that I'm pregnant.  The baby moving is a wonderful reminder that he or she is there and growing.  It's amazing to think how big the baby is now.  I remember when it was the size of an apple seed!  We're up to a mango now:

That's it for now.  Stay posted for the big news!!!

First Post!

So this is my first post! :)  I'm new to all of this so bear with me.  As I said before, Ryan and I have been married for 2 1/2 years and are expecting our first child in June.  This being my first pregnancy, it has been quite the adventure so far...  I lost 20 pounds in about the first 3 weeks of finding out we were pregnant and haven't gained a pound back since - and I'm 17 weeks now!  I've also been in the hospital twice to get iv's because I got so dehydrated.  It's definitely been a bit rough so far but we are so incredibly blessed and thrilled to be expecting.  

Right now we are looking forward to February 3rd - the day we (hopefully) get to find out if our little one is a boy or girl!!!  I will be sure to post our new pics of the baby once we get them.  I'm also awaiting our baby's first kicks.  I've read that it can be any day now that I feel it move.  I think I may have felt it once or twice but I'm not sure.  We'll just have to wait and see - hopefully I'll feel him or her move again soon and I'll be more sure about it this time!
