One down....two more to go!!!

Well,  I am officially done with my first trimester and I have to say that I am one of those lucky women that had no morning sickness at all!!!!  I am very thankful for that and I hope it keeps going as smoothly as it has so far.  This is now the end of my 15th week and I have hardly gained any weight...I do have a bit of a belly.  As Ryan said..."honey, it looks like your pregnant now and not fat."  Thanks honey because that made me feel a whole lot better. 

Yesterday,  I went to my second official OB appointment and it was literally 5 minutes long.   I did get to hear the baby's heartbeat again, which always makes me happy and a little teary eyed at the same time.  I have one more OB appointment before the ultrasound on July 8.  Ryan and I are both excited to find out if we will be having a boy or girl.  It is like Christmas and having to wait to open all the presents except the present is waiting to find out if this little peanut is a boy or girl.  I did do a few of the wives tale quizzes and all of them so far say girl.  One of the questions was if I am craving sweet or salty and that was an easy one.  I want anything sweet these days!!! Ryan and I both are leaning towards a girl, but as long as the baby is healthy is all that matters to us.

We also did the tour of the hospital this last weekend of where the baby will be born. He or she will be born at Banner Desert in Mesa, AZ.   It wasn't the closest, but it is by far one of the best.  It was exciting and a little scary at the same time.  The staff was so great and helpful with all of my questions.

Here is a belly picture that was taken a couple weeks ago.  My mom keeps asking for one so I finally took it. It is a tad bit bigger now, but not too much.

Those are all the updates I have so far. We are all healthy and doing good!!!!

Our first baby picture.....

This was from our ultrasound at 9 weeks.  He/she looks like a little peanut.  As the doctor stated that our baby is like a bat hanging upside down.  So we will see how he/she is situated in July at the next ultrasound.

The journey begins...

I decided with so much family so far away that it was a good idea to start a blog to keep everyone updated on our journey to meet little baby Kraemer.  I am now on my 12th week of pregnancy and I feel very lucky to have only been hit with the fatigue and emotional side of the first trimester.  Poor Ryan gets the rath of my emotional side.  All he has to do is get me ice cream and I am a happy woman.  I am due on November 21, 2011.  Ryan and I had the first ultrasound a couple of weeks ago and we got to see our "little peanut" for the first time and hear his/her heartbeat.  I say "little peanut" because I don't know how many people commented on the ultrasound that he/she looked like a peanut.  We had our second doctor's appointment last week and we got to hear the heartbeat again.  The little peanut is already stubborn and only let us hear his/her heartbeat for a few seconds.  We go for our next appointment in a few weeks and beginning of July, we will find out if the little peanut is a boy or girl.  We are so excited to find out and I am super excited that my mom and dad are making the trip out to be with me at the ultrasound.  The boys are also super excited to be big brothers and they can't wait to meet their brother or sister.  That is all I have for now, but I will try to keep everyone as updated as possible on our journey!!  I will post pictures later too of my growing belly!!
