8 Weeks!!

Well we woke up this morning to a crying dog at 5am. Our Wrigley isn't feeling well and has been up sick this morning. She stayed at the PetSmart PetsHotel while we were in Vegas and she always seems to have a couple bad days when she gets back. The vet seems to think it's from the stress of being away from home.

I guess we have to get used to getting up early and waking up to gross things!

We hit 8 weeks yesterday! We are very excited to have 2 months down! I have been more tired than ever, I'm not sure if it is because of the trip or just because i'm getting farther along, but i'm dragging!! Still no morning sickness so keep fingers crossed that I really do take after my Mom is every way and will not have any!!

Vegas was awesome! We had a lot of fun walking around and seeing all the different Casino's. We played a lot of Roulette and had some successful times and some not so successful runs, but we had a lot of fun playing it! We were able to see Phantom while we were there and it was amazing! I saw it when I was much younger in Toronto with my Family, but it was nice to see it as an adult to really appreciate it! We enjoyed some great meals, long walks, shopping, and just relaxing! The weather (that was supposed to be in the high 70's) was in the 50's and super windy, but it was Dry, which is more than I can say for Chicagoland while we were gone!

We have our next doctors appointment on Monday (November 2nd). We will go over the ultrasound and bloodwork that I had done before I left for the trip. This I hear is going to be a bigger visit, so I'm sure I'll have more news after that so I'll update if we're told anything big!!

Lots of love!!

Week 7 Ultrasound!

We had our 1st ultrasound appointment today and it went very well!! If you click on the picture it will blow it up bigger!!

We got to see our little bean and we saw the heartbeat! The due date was confirmed and is still June 11th!! We are thinking of doing a pool for the due date and weight of the baby for some fun!

(Eric is picking his birthday June 15th)
(I am picking June 8th)

I am still feeling great, no morning sickness or anything yet! I have just been very tired lately, but I'm getting used to it!

Cravings have been pretty under control lately, the only thing i've been really "I have to have it" is for Flamin' Hot Cheetos. Which is hilarious!

I go back to the doctor on Monday, November 2nd!

Tomorrow is My and Eric's 1st wedding anniversary and we are leaving for Las Vegas. We will be gone from Sunday-Thursday and we can't wait to just get away!!!!

LOTS OF LOVE to you all! Thank you so much for all your support and love!!

Love,
Mary, Eric, and "The Bean"

6 weeks! It's official!

Hello Everyone:

We had our first prenatal visit today and got the pregnancy confirmed! We are so excited! I go back in 2 weeks for a bigger visit! On Monday I am going in to get bloodwork done and next Saturday, the 24th, we are getting our 1st ultrasound done!!! We are so excited to see our "Bean".

Our due date is June 11, 2010, which is the same week as Eric's!

Everyone is taking bets on whether the baby is a boy or a girl. Mostly everyone thinks it's a girl, with a couple thinking it's a boy.

I had my first wierd craving, didn't eat it though, I'm trying not to give in to cravings because I'm trying to eat as healthy as possible. A couple nights ago I wanted curly fries with Ranch dressing....totally sounds gross now, but I wanted it SO badly that night.

Still no morning sickness so I'm really excited about that, although it's still early.

We are going to Vegas on Sunday, October 25th (our 1 year anniversary)! We are so excited to get away, the trip is getting closer and closer.

We're Having a Baby!!!!

Hello Everyone!!!

Eric and I are welcoming our first child!! We couldn't be more excited!!! We are very much looking forward to this journey and want you all to be apart of it!!!

Welcome to our Blog! We want to make sure everyone can stay in the loop about the pregnancy details!! I will post pictures and details about the pregnancy all along the way! Everything from doctors visits info to cravings will be included!

This week has been amazing and emotional! We truly feel blessed!!

We have our first doctors appointment on Friday, October 16th and we are just thrilled! If our calculations our right the baby will be due the week of Eric's Birthday (June 15th)!!! So, I am currently 4-5 weeks as of today!

This week I have been sleeping like crazy! I have taken a couple 3 hour naps this week and a 2 hour nap one day! So the mama-to-be has been SLEEPY!!

Lots of love to EVERYONE! Thank you for all the support and well wishes this week!!!

Mary, Eric and "The Bean"
