A Little Update

And by little, I mean about the size of a peach.

I know I’ve been a little quiet lately,
but that’s because this October,
Todd and I are expecting a baby!

It’s been hard holding in the news for the last three months, but now I’m happy to report that I’m 13 weeks and we’re both doing well! So well in fact that I was worried for a while that something was wrong. Apparently I’m one of the lucky ones with barely any symptoms. The ultrasound above was taken at 9 weeks (I’m pretty sure if you look close enough you can see a big smile and sunglasses), but I just got back from the doctor today where we heard the little heartbeat thumping strong. Best. Sound. Ever.

I’ll be updating the blog more now that it’s out in the open. For the last few months it’s all I wanted to write/talk/think about, but besides telling close friends and family, I knew I wanted to wait. Needless to say, I’m happy the second trimester is here! Let the pregnancy blogging begin…
