Sorry I have not blogged in a while. Last week I was incredibly sick with morning sickness on top of a wicked cold, and then this week Ryan's cousin, Courtney, died in a tragic motorcycle accident. She will be greatly missed...
This week I am doing better puke-wise. I, however, have developed a new problem, an allergic reaction on my face. To put it mild, this morning I look like a mutant-pregnant-suma wrestler, but just in my face. It's been puffy, swollen, and itchy. There are red patches all over it. Not pretty! It started yesterday next to my right eye, then spread down to my chin, across my face, to my other eye, then now has worked it's way down my neck. I did call my doctor who I just happen to have an appointment with for tomorrow, and she recommends I go to the ER or at least Urgent Care if it worsens tonight or my throat itches or swells. Otherwise, take Benedryl or Claritin and put Hydrocortisone on my face until I can see her tomorrow. So I got the Claritin non-drowsy and creme and had at it. Things are less puffy, but still red and itchy. Wish me luck on this one...always something...never can just be healthy and normal lately...Alas, pregnancy woes!
On a happy note of pregnancy, I got to feel the baby move for the very first time last night. It thudded on the right side of my belly twice in a row like it was knocking on the front door waiting to be let in. So weird! I called Ryan immediately, since he was on his way home from the grocery store. I told him I would've gone with him, but I didn't want to scare the general public by stepping out as a mutant face... :P He was excited too, and I showed him the exact spot his baby was tapping on the moment he got home. It happened in the same place today, but at work while I was standing at our fax machine.
I will post more later when Greg comes over to help me put up a belly picture. He is good at this stuff. I will make sure my mutant allergy face is not in the photo. It is amazing how much the uterus has risen and how big my belly is starting to get. I will definitely have people who don't know I am preggers playing the "Baby Bump or Ham and Cheese Sandwich Game" with my stomach, hahaha! Until then, you all will have to wait and see when we post it.

According to ParentsConnect.com . . .
This is what ParentsConnect.com stated the baby's development is this week:
"Your baby can make a fist and even suck his or her thumb this week—both skills that are über-cute during infancy ... and not so much at the age of 9. If you're really lucky, you might catch a glimpse of baby's thumb sucking on an ultrasound photo. That's a framer! Other exciting developments include:
Your baby's eyelids are fused shut to protect his eyes as they develop. His bones and skull are solidifying and soon itsy-bitsy ribs may appear. (Baby ribs! How cute is that?!) Baby's intestines are finally right where you want them—in his or her belly instead of poking out into the umbilical cord. Baby's tooth sockets are all loaded and ready to pop out baby teeth six or seven months after baby is born (causing baby a lot of pain and you a lot of lost sleep).
Who's that singing? Elton John? Could be your baby: His vocal cords and larynx are completed now.
Your baby-to-be now weighs about 20 grams and is nearly 3 inches long, or about the size of a Nutter Butter, covered in chocolate. OK, it doesn't have to be covered in chocolate, but isn't everything better that way?"

13 Weeks Today
So today I am now 13 weeks preggo. Still nauseated of course. It has been going on 5 days since I threw-up last though, so that's something to celebrate I think...Well, thought I would start this blog to keep everyone in the know with how everything is going with the bean growing in my belly. My stomach is starting to pop out just a little. It's very noticable to me, but I think most people especially at work just think I am getting a little fat or something. As most of you know, we are due to shoot a baby out on July 5th, so there is a chance this could be an Independence Day baby. I am trying to post a thing that counts down how many days until the due date and shows the baby's growth. Bare with me if it posts wrong, this is my first time blogging so I don't know if I am doing it right anyway.
