First Midwife Appointment!

So we had our first Midwife appointment today! Despite the terrible weather outside (can you believe we had a blizzard so late in March) we made it there on time. After all the initial questions we got to hear the heartbeat (its 160ish) which is great! My blood pressure is perfect so all is looking good. And we got the best news, our primary midwife from with Ky, Carolyn will be back from her extended maternity leave in September so we will get to see her for the end of the pregnancy and hopefully she will be at the birth! This is so exciting for us, we really had a good connection with Carolyn! Ky did ok, he was loud so we know to not bring him till later in the pregnancy! Toni let him listen to his own heartbeat and his tummy, he really liked that. He looked at the pictures on the wall that shows the different stages of pregnancy and he was able to connect that with the baby in mommy's tummy, our smart cookie!
We go back in late April and will hopefully get our ultrasound date then. And the good old physical exam, lucky me!!
We have a busy few weeks coming up, my birthday, our third wedding anniversary, the end of the first trimester, Easter and my mom leaving for her trip to Calgary! So it should keep us busy. We seem to be pretty housebound right now with the horrible weather out there.
We are so excited for the ultrasound next week, its coming so fast! We will be sure to post all about it and some pics too!
Till then!!

Happy St Patrick's Day!

Well today is a day we love, cause its all about the Irish! We started the day by enjoying some Lucky Charms cereal for breakfast, a special treat in our house! Ky has school today and they are making green milkshakes!
We have 200 days left in the pregnancy! We went to babymoon ultrasound on Friday and got to see peanut, perfect as perfect can be! Peanut did a little dance and even had the hiccups. It was so nice to see how much baby has grown already! The morning sickness has lessened and the nausea seems less intense but is still very present. I am not throwing up as much which is a really good thing. The acid reflux is still a pretty big obstacle but I am hoping that will settle soon too. Our first clothing purchase for baby was a onezie that says Baby's first St Patricks Day! We purchased it on our trip when we were down in Grand Forks. We are very excited to see baby wear it next year!
We go for another ultrasound on March 31st and my Grandma is coming with us. This will be her first ultrasound and we are very excited to have her join us. Its also a special day because its my birthday, what a perfect gift, getting to see our baby! Hopefully I will be feeling a lot better by then so we can also enjoy a nice meal out!
Well thats where we are at right now. The weather is nice, the snow is melting so hopefully that wont mean an even bigger gap in between post. I will try my best, and hopefully Todd will start making some posts soon too!

Here is our best pic from our ultrasound on Friday!
