Oh Baby, Baby...The Debut

 Here I am! 
Look at my lips, eye and nose! 
(7 weeks)
 Hmm..holding  a balloon? 
(7 weeks)
 Baby Belly at 9 weeks
Bailee is not ready to be a "big" brother!
Baby Wheels is the size of a large plum this week!
(10 weeks)

We are so excited for our special delivery in May! We are going to try our best to get belly snapshots here and there, just to remember each exciting milestone. 
However, things have not been so exciting this first trimester. If you consider hovering over the toilet every other night exciting, well then..come to our house for a good time!

Definitely haven't felt that "cute", pregnancy glow feeling that most people claim to have.. My "morning" sickness has been mostly at night, which is strange that breakfast has been my favorite meal. We consider this "night sickness". Poor Luke gets a home cooked meal, and I wouldn't even go that far, once a week. He is going to waste away! Cereal, bagels, toast and popsicles have been my BFF throughout the last 12 weeks.


  I decided to nickname the baby "Ralphie", as that is what "we" have been doing for the last 3 months. Hopefully things will start to look up soon! This past week, I have had a couple of good days..thank goodness! Still pretty tired, but only working until 1pm works out well for my nap schedule! I haven't gained any weight yet, I actually lost 3lbs, but the doctors say it is "normal" for the "sickly ones". 
We were able to hear the baby's heart beat at our 10 weeks appointment. It was beating at a fast 170BPM. Some say you can tell the sex from the heartbeat, but I kind of think that is an old wives tale. IF it were true, watch out, Luke..you might have TWO women in your life!
I am absolutely convinced this baby is a boy! My percentage is 99.7%  boy, and .3% unconvinced, girl. I haven't decided why I think this? Maybe because my family went boy then girl, so I think that is the way it is supposed to be? Maybe it is because when I lived in N.C someone did the southern thread and pencil test and it predicted boy, girl, boy? I don't know. On the flip side, I have had TWO dreams that the baby was a GIRL! My dreams would agree with everyone except my mom and myself. We are the only two who see blue in the future! How do others know, anyways? People seem convinced that they know if it is a boy or a girl, and I wonder how they get that feeling. I have had that feeling about others before, and I have had a pretty good track record with my guesses, but often ponder how I came to those conclusions? I think people analyze whether a boy or girl will fit best into your lifestyle? God bless, Luke if it is a mini Molly! :) We will all just have to wait until May to be surprised!
