14 weeks

Well, I'm 14 weeks now and feeling great. There's not much change in my belly yet, but I did have to buy some maternity clothes to fit my expanding waist. It's nice to have my energy back and I've been enjoying the warm spring weather. Derek and I have been taking walks around the lake with K.C. and usually stopping off at my new favorite ice cream parlor. Yum! Derek has been busy renovating our upstairs, turning it into the nursery and our bedroom, while I've been busy in the garden making sure everything we planting last year comes back. I think all of our projects are turning out great!

doctor appointment

Yesterday Derek and I went to my 12 week check up. Everything is going great with the baby. Derek got to hear the heartbeat for the first time. It was nice and strong and about 162 beats per minute. Now that they've detected the heartbeat with the sonogram machine I can stop taking my progesterone medicine, YEAH! The medication made me really drowsy and dizzy. I'm feeling great now, just wish it wasn't snowing up here. More updates to come!

We're havin' a baby!

Yes that's right, Derek and I are pregnant! I am 12 weeks along and feeling great. The baby is due October 23rd and we are not finding out what the sex is. We are so excited to start our family. We'll be updating this blog often, sharing pictures and thoughs while pregnant with Baby Springer , all the way to the birth.
