Well, I've been wanting to start this for a while now to keep the family in touch with our growing baby up here and what is going on in our lives. And so here we are at 17 weeks and I am starting it!! Yep, 17 weeks!! I have gotten over the morning sickness part for the most part (never was horrible, but even a little isn't great). My aversion to some smells seems to have gone done some over the last two weeks, but this nose still can't handle much. Including smells of fruit gum, (ugh, the worst), salmon and the worst was the trash!! WE bought a new trash can, and I'm sure I make JEremy empty it at least every day, whether it's full or not! There have been others, but those seem to stick out at the moment.
Jeremy and I are doing well, this last week has been busy, some of my aunts and uncles were in town for Robby's wedding last weekend, which was so much fun to have them all around, and JEremy has been busy finishing up summer school class, don't love the summer school classes, but love that they get done quickly.
I have also started working on the baby room. I have all of the bedding made, dust ruffle, crib sheet and valance, and bumper pads (those I bought). Now I'm working on a cover for what will be our changing tables. The colors for the room are an aqua/teal blue color and brown, and I even found a material with those colors and some red mixed in, so there will be red in the room!! Jeremy isn't convinced that it is enough, but if it is a girl, I don't think she needs a complete Nebraska room (yes, I"m sure the majority of his family will disagree with this). :) We are not going to find out the sex of the baby and let it be a surprise, which means that I can go ahead and work on the room, especially while I've had the energy and my grandma was up for the wedding and we got to spend time together shopping for the material together with my mom, so it was a fun outing.
Baby continues to be growing, also meaning I am growing, but appears to be completely healthy at this point, no issues, which is a blessing. I think that I am starting to feel baby move, just little flutters occasstionally, so that has been fun!! Well, off to the rest of my Sunday, but thought I should get this started! :) And maybe I'll even figure out how to post pictures! NO guarantees, but that is the goal! -- oh yay - I got the pictures on, not that hard I guess!! SO, those are the 10 1/2 week ultrasound pictures, we haven't had one since then, but did hear the heartbeat at the last appt about 1 1/2 weeks ago!
