— Here’s What I Have to Say —

We headed to Bluefin Bay (near Lutsen) this weekend with a couple friends. On the drive up, I felt a kick on my right side, then one in the middle, the one toward the left side. There was no mistaking that those were kicks since it was moving around. There were a few seconds between...

Tonight Chuck and I went to the Vikings game. It was the last preseason game, so it was pretty boring, but we had a good time! I think the baby was protesting being able to hear this week. Tuesday I went to the Lady Gaga concert, then Thursday, the Vikings game. During the game, I...

We had our 16 week appointment today. We heard the heart beat (which was 160) and when she was looking for it, we heard a big “thump” and the doctor said “that was a kick”! I thought that was really cool! I hope I start feeling the baby move soon! I keep thinking I feel...

I have been really good about going to walk. I went walking every morning last week before work and yesterday and today this week. On Saturday, I went on a walk around the neighborhood and Sunday I went shopping at Ikea and the MOA with Adam's gf Katie and got lots of walking in. I...

Got up and went on a walk this morning. It was a little more brisk today…less humid. I took a different path today and I will probably take it again tomorrow to see how far it actually was. I somehow turned off my gps thing at some point and didn't get a good idea of...

I have decided that I am going to set my alarm with enough time to go on a walk in the morning and weather permitting, I am going to go. It's a good way to get some exercise and fresh air in. It makes me feel good for the rest of the day, too. And...

I went on a walk around the neighborhood this morning (1/2 hour – about 1.6 miles). I was exhausted after my walk yesterday and I know I need to get back into walking as many days as possible again during the week to keep me feeling in shape! Week 14 starts today. I can't believe...

Headed home and then the Feldhaus family brought us some very delicious cookies! It was so sweet of them! I felt like I had been sitting too long this weekend and needed to get out and move around, so I went on a nice hour walk around the neighborhood. It was a bit hot out,...

Hung out at the cabin and went on a walk with Trisha in the morning before more people got up to the cabin. It was a nice relaxing day!

Sent a big email out to family to tell them about the baby! Everyone was so excited. We included one of the pictures from the 12 week u/s, too. We headed up to our friend's cabin for the weekend and got to tell more of our friends in person. Everyone is so happy for us...

Today might have been even more amazing than the first ultra sound. We got to see the baby again in all sorts of positions and it's really getting bigger. The coolest part was how much it was moving around in there! I can't believe how much it moves in there and you can't feel any...

I have been pretty bad about writing in here. I guess I should get better! 🙂 I have been feeling well (with yesterday/last night being an exception.) But I feel much better today. So I am happy about that. I am just ending week 10. I can't believe how much time has passed since I...

OH MY GOODNESS! This was the coolest day EVER! We got to see the baby and the heart beat (179 bpm) and it had arms and legs and it was so cute! I can't wait for the next appointment. Then you can see it even better and it should be able to do somersaults by...

Today I went in for my first appointment. It wasn't too bad. Some blood here, pee in a cup there. Then we talked to the nurse and she wants to do a “dating” ultrasound tomorrow to check my due date. This was because I got pregnant so quickly after being off the pill. So I...

Slept pretty well last night. Got up this morning and went on a short walk. It was about a 1/2 hour. We're going to the prenatal “class” tonight, so I knew we wouldn't get in any time for a walk tonight.

Nothing real exciting for the day. After dinner we went on a bike ride. It was pretty long! I was very tired from the bike ride. But it was a lovely night for it.

I am happy to say that I slept through the night last night! I actually felt refreshed when I woke up! It was wonderful. Of course, as soon as I got to work I started yawning. 🙂 I need to seriously do some things around the house this weekend…for instance, put away laundry that's been...

I went on a long walk this morning. Here is my route. I walked a little slower this time. I think the distance was close to the same as on 6/3, but I walked for about 51 minutes. This could have been because I stopped a couple times to take pictures of things. 🙂 Chuck...

I went walking/shopping with Brooke all day for things for her shower. Then I met Chuck to look at some cars. We watched a movie (which I barely stayed awake for) and got pizza. I was surprisingly not very hungry.

I was exhausted this morning. My body hurts from walking and my back is really sore today. I feel like I could sleep for a week. I need to do some things around the house tonight and I hope I can find the energy to do them! Of course…that didn't happen. I hung out on...
