Week 16

Well, tomorrow we will be 16 weeks along! I can't believe how fast the time is passing. At first, it felt like March was so far away, but now I am amazed at how it's already Fall. Soon we will be celebrating Thanksgiving and Christmas with our friends and family...and then our little peanut will arrive!

Keith has moved the guest bed into the bonus room, so we are slowly getting ready to make a nursery! Our next appointment at the doctor is Oct 7.

I have just a few more weddings to do this year, and then, of course, Christmas portrait season! My travel with my full-time job has slowed a bit for now, but will ramp up again in October and November.

Keith and I are looking forward to a much-needed vacation this Fall - we are planning to visit the beach and the mountains, and just relax and enjoy the idea of becoming parents!

Otherwise, things are going well. I am thinking of writing a "Top Ten Things No One Tells You About the First Trimester" because there is so much that the books say...and so much that they leave out! For example, who knew that your bellybutton could actually hurt!? :)

Welcome!

Welcome, friends and family, to our little peanut's blog. We are hoping to post updates from doctor's appointments and photos as my stomach grows with the baby. The due date is March 12, 2009, and we are so excited.

Up until now, it's been a whirlwind of getting the news, going to the doctor, waiting to share the news, going to the doctor some more, and then finally sharing the good news with each of you! We are excited that we can now share our joy with you, and are looking forward to the little one's arrival.

I am about 15 weeks along today, and our next appointment will be in early October. We will find out in mid- to late-October whether peanut is a boy or a girl!

Stay tuned...

Lisa and Keith
