An announcement

Hello everyone.

I know I don't post here that frequently anymore, but for those of you who remember me, I wanted to share our exciting news.

My husband and I will soon be entering a new phase in our lives together.

Parenthood!!!

We're expecting our first child!! I just entered my 13th week of pregnancy, and am soon approaching the end of the first trimester. It feels like time is flying by so fast, because it seems as if it was only yesterday that I took the pregnancy test and nearly fell over when I got the results!

The first trimester went well. We had our first prenatal appointment about 3 weeks ago, and the doctor said everything looks great. We got to see our darling little baby on the ultrasound screen. S/he seemed to be bouncing around, waving her/his little arms and legs. It was amazing to see.

So, that's our news! We are so excited and thankful to God for this upcoming blessing!

Congratulations! Knowing how good a bird mom you are, we know you will be an excellent mom! We are excited for you both - or shall we say all of you! I wonder how the birdies will react to a different kind of noisy creature?

Big hugs to you! And a handshake for hubby, in case (like Paul) he's not a real hugger!

I hope baby isn't hiding when you have your ultrasound! How many weeks are you, now?

I didn't respond to the food/appetite thing because I haven't had any experience with cravings or aversions. My appetite has stayed pretty much the same as always. I did go through a phase where I was eating at least one popsicle a day, because I would get dry mouth a little and would want something cold and sweet. It was a perfect remedy!

Luckily, that phase stopped before I found out I had gestational diabetes!

We have an appointment tomorrow, I always enjoy them, just like you seem to be!

Little over 14 weeks now. I'll be 19 when we have the ultrasound.

Yes well i wanted to know the gender of my baby,and my baby had the cord between the legs, so you could not see, i desperately wanted a girl, having an almost 11 yr gap between my children and already having a son, and this was my last baby, so i just had to wait and see, and i was truly blessed with a perfect blonde blue eyed baby daughter my Melissa who will be 17 in a couple of weeks, my how time flys.

Good luck and i hope you don't have to wait.
