The Pregnancy Project

Wednesday

Today I am 8 weeks pregnant, and after much pinning, Michael and I have developed our own little Pregnancy Project (more me, less Michael, but you know what I mean!) We are going to track my pregnancy, week by week, through pictures and a little creativity, of course. Every week I will take a picture next to a white board documenting how many weeks along I am, and what I am experiencing during this week of pregnancy. After all the photo's are complied, we will have a visual timeline of our very first pregnancy, and a wonderful timeline for our family members and friends who can't experience this time with us.
 
So we started this week!

 
During week 8 of pregnancy, I can say that I'm missing chipotle more than ever, and Frisch's is still my favorite place in the world (but not much has changed there!) Our first appointment is October 3rd at Landstuhl, and we will have our first tour of the hospital. We will not be meeting with a doctor, but will be going through processing. After this appointment is complete, we will be ready to schedule our first appointment with an OBGYN, and our first ultrasound will be during our next appointment!!!!! Don't worry family, we get unlimited prints so we will be sure to mail them all home!
 
When I asked Michael how he was feeling within the first 8 weeks of pregnancy, he says "uhhhhh? very excited! but stressed, because I know the stresses of pregnancy are coming soon for you." WHAT A CONSIDERATE BOY!
 
More updates to come soon folks! Love and miss you all!

Baby! Baby! Baby!

Thursday

Hello all!

It's been quite awhile since Michael and I have posted, however, we've been awfully busy! In the last few weeks, Michael has been playing in a Flag Football Tournament here on post. The final game is this evening. If they win, they will then move on the the championship! Good luck 504 Company!!!! Also, we have been planning a few new travels. We plan to fly to London in October, and visit the Black Forest by the end of this month!

We recently recieved some big news! We are having a baby! We found on on Friday, September 14th that I am 6 weeks and 2 days along. My estimated due date is May 7th, which is my grandfather, Tom's, birthday! As of today, I am 7 weeks and 1 day. We have been attending informational appointments here at Baumholder, and later next week, we will be attending appointments at Landstuhl, the hospital where we will deliver! We will be sure to keep everyone up to date on this exciting news!!!

We love and miss you all, and promise to keep our blog up-to-date!
