Yes it's true. Mike and I are pregnant! By now, I'm sure everyone who reads my blog now knows the happy news. Mike and I are thrilled! It was unexpected but we are incredibly excited.
I sent an email about our first baby appointment but I wanted to blog it here as well.
The appointment went fantastically with the only downside being the nurses couldn't find a vein to draw blood. They were finally successfully able to draw my blood with the assistance of 3 nurses and 5 holes in my left arm. My arm is a nice shade of purple but at least they didn't have to enter through my hand :)
Dr Steen was great. She was very talkative, answered a lot of our questions, made great small talk, and had a great way of making me feel calm and relaxed. I think she'll be perfect for delivering our baby.
We were able to hear the heartbeat which was everything everyone hyped it up to be! As my mom so eloquently wrote yesterday, our hearts totally skipped a beat when we heard the baby's heartbeat for the first time. Everything became much more real. She said the baby's heartbeat was 180 beats/minute which is normal for being 11 1/2 weeks. She gave us a due date of Feb 9!!
We went to Carter's Sidewalk sale yesterday and bought a bunch of cute baby clothes for DIRT cheap! In a way, time is just flying by but on the other hand, Feb seems like an eternity away.
Tomorrow is the big day. We are incredibly excited and slightly nervous.
Another post to follow soon.

First the negatives because those are bugging me the most:
- Why did I have to come back from vacation?
- Why are certain employees totally incapable of thinking for themselves and must seek direction and answers from me on every move they make? If I weren't here to ask, I'm sure you would be perfectly capable of answering your own ridiculous question.
- Why isn't it 3pm yet?!?!?!
Now onto the positives:
- I had a fabulously ripe juicy nectarine for lunch.
- I'm about to get a free $15 after work thanks to a CVS error and Janna's great attention to detail :)
- It looks like it might rain this afternoon which will work perfectly for a nap.
My newest quote/motto: "It's exhausting being fabulous."
Mike and I got thee cutest present in the mail today. It's incredibly adorable and we are excited to use it.
THANK YOU AGAIN!!!
If you are able to watch the Dodgers play tomorrow, look for my beautiful sister and brother-in-law. They will be front-in-center 2nd row behind the plate wearing their Dodgers gear and Missy in her birthday tiara :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MISSY!!!
It's been a long time. I've spent some time away from blogging but no worries. I'm back.
So my vacation has been nice so far. Nothing exciting which kinda stinks but it's so much better than working.
Mike and I took Ethan and Micah to the Frederick Meijer Gardens on Wednesday. It was a beautiful sunny day and FMG has a wonderful outdoor kids area, so we thought it would be a perfect fit. The boys seemed to have a great time as did Mike and I plus I scored some wonderful pictures.
Mike and I stayed up late on Wednesday (first time in a loooong time) and watched a movie together in bed. It was nice and relaxing.
Thursday I did nothing. I wasn't feeling well and literally I didn't do much of anything including getting ready. The farthest I went was the mailbox :)
Friday we headed to Lansing and spent the day with Mike's mom. We had great conversation during lunch and then watched License to Wed which was cute. You know my love for Jim Halpert :) We had such a fun day ..... plus we left with a special gift and plants :) Does a day get better than that?
Today I had planned on going to the Alger's Heights Farmers Market but unfortunately today we finally received the much needed rain we've been waiting for :( While, I enjoyed hearing the rain this morning and feeling the breeze from bed, I can't help but selfishly wish it would have been nicer. I wanted to get some produce!
Mike's dad, Amy and the kids are coming to town today. We're excited to see them.
Well I should probably go do something other than watch the Food Network. I promise to update this again within the next few days.
