14 Weeks

I've failed to keep up with my blog as I promised myself but still am popping in to make a little update! We told our families the week after the wedding and of course they were just as excited.  The two people I've been really been nervous about sharing this with was our nanny and my work.  Fortunately our sweet nanny had seen my prenatal vitamins laying around so was expecting this and took it like a champ!  Work was also good, supportive (at least on the outside ;)).

One of the best people we finally got to really tell is Harper!! We were waiting of course to tell everyone else and then just wanted to make sure our 12 week ultrasound looked fine as well.  Over the last couple weeks we've been asking her if she wants another baby to come live with us.  Normally she says no, she wants a dog but when we told her baby was on it's way she was excited.  She is sure it will be a boy and wants to name it Jackson.  Not sure where that came from but she's insistent!  Emma Kate obviously has no idea about anything but fortunately she loves other babies.  Of course she may not feel the same when that baby is living in her house, getting held by her mama but she'll adjust :)

I'm currently working my last week of nights, EVER, which is the most exciting thing.  It's hard on everyone so I'm thankful at least that I'm going to have it all behind me before we become a family of 5.

I've felt great except of course for being tired but at this point I think it's more just from this busy week of work and not so much the pregnancy.  Our 12 week ultrasound went well, sweet little baby bouncing around in there, not cooperating for the tech to get the images she needed.  Heartrate was 166!

Andy is pretty anxious to find out the gender... he wants to know if we are only having girls or if he'll ever have a boy.  I'm sure we will only have girls and he will get to pay for weddings forever ;)  October is a super busy month so I'm not sure we'll be able to squeeze in a reveal party but hopefully we can manage it!
