3 Months and Growing!

I am now 12 weeks pregnant and we are growing everyday!  Thanks to my parents and a fun shopping trip to the outlets with my Mom, I am all set to cloth this growing belly.

Overall, I think I've had a pretty good 1st trimester.  I was only mildly nauseous for a couple weeks earlier on during weeks 6 and 7.  Other than that I have been extremely tired and really hungry!  Jack has been great at picking up the slack with cleaning, dinners, helping with Murphy and taking care of odds and ends like shopping for family birthday presents.  The crazy hunger has definitely subsided and I am starting to feel a little less exhausted but still more tired than usual.

We had our 1st trimester check up and Baby Meece is doing great!  Baby had a good, strong heartbeat and is measuring a week bigger than he/she actually is.

We have an appointment in 6 weeks for an ultrasound to find out the gender.  We are so anxious and excited to find out if we are having a boy or a girl!

I would also like to take a moment to say THANK YOU for all of the cards, phone calls, and emails full of congratulations and well wishes!  We have been hearing from friends and family all over and it is so wonderful for everyone to share in our excitement.

Check back in a few weeks for the big gender reveal!
