NKOTB is coming back!

Lee and I went to see the New Kids in Oct. 08... we had to drive all the way to Charlotte, but it was so worth it! Well, they are coming back to NC and this time they will be in RALEIGH!!! We're going to try to get a group together to go this time, so check it out here and see if you can go! :)

15 Weeks!

I am 15 weeks pregnant today! Just over a month longer and I will already be halfway through the pregnancy. Time seems to be going by faster these days. We are still working on the office, guest bedroom and attic... organizing, cleaning and purging. I have three bags of clothes to donate to Goodwill and we have three huge boxes full of things for the upcoming neighborhood yard sale. It would be great to make a few extra bucks! (Whatever we don't sell, we'll also take to Goodwill.)

So, our baby is now about 4 inches long! He/she can also sense light, now... they say if I shine a flashlight on my belly, the baby will move away from the light. Here's the size comparison for this week:

It's getting bigger!

We have a heartbeat!!!

This morning, Kevin and I headed to the doctor's office for our 14 week appointment. I was pretty nervous and I think Kevin was too, even though he wouldn't show it!

After waiting about 45 minutes, the doctor finally came in. As I was chatting and explaining that I was nervous... he had already found the heartbeat... I stopped talking and just listened for a second. "SWOOSH-SWOOSH.... SWOOSH-SWOOSH.... SWOOSH-SWOOSH" Then, I just had to ask, "How do you know that's not MY heartbeat???" Simple answer... my heart is not located in my lower abdomen! (Not only that, but the baby's heartbeat is much faster than mine right now.) Needless to say, we were very relieved that there was a happy, healthy heartbeat!

Now, for the funny part: We brought our camera as I wanted to capture the heartbeat on video. Kevin got it out and proceeded to "record" as the doctor gave a big thumbs up and we laughed and listened. Well, when we left the office, we realized he actually didn't hit record so we got nothing on video! No worries, though, we go back in three weeks and can do it all over again. :)

14 Weeks!!!

Today I am 14 weeks! That's three and a half months... so, only five and a half months to go!!! We actually started working on cleaning out the office yesterday. We got a good start, but there is still a ton left to do. It's hard finding places to put all our stuff!

According to BabyCenter.com , our baby is now 3.5 inches long... the size of a lemon:

Now that is MUCH cuter than a shrimp!!! They also say that he can now squint, frown, grimace and even suck his thumb.

Only two more days until my next doctor's appointment!!!
