We're Expecting!

Due August 3rd 2010!

We're excited to share this with our friends and family. Check back often for updates and photos!

We really enjoyed breaking our news over Christmas with our families. Every one's reaction to the news was priceless and we were able to get some on camera. We hope these don't embarrass any of you!
We are currently 12 weeks along and everything is going well! We are happy to see that first trimester coming to an end. Marissa has experienced some nausea (mostly in the evenings) and fatigue, but that seems to be coming to an end. We are finally starting to eat dinner together again now that Marissa is feeling better in the evenings. Her eating habits have been rather bizarre. Let's just say that dinner the other night consisted of coleslaw and a Totinos pizza because they 'sounded good' while she was shopping. David gets A- for making this first trimester a pleasant one for all of us. He only gets an A- because he decided that fish was a great idea for dinner the other night....that was not a great idea!

The baby has a strong heartbeat and the doctor says everything looks good! We had the chance to see the little bean at 10 weeks on an ultrasound. It was really neat seeing the baby move around, hear and see the heartbeat, and just know that everything was progressing as it should. We can't wait until we can see how much the baby has grown at our next ultrasound around 18 weeks!

We seem to be making no progress what-so-ever on names for this baby. Our list changes daily and every time we take one off the list we find another one to add to it. Hopefully by August we will have it narrowed down a little bit more! We have been making progress on the nursery decor though! We've picked out the colors and several other components. This baby may not have a name, but at least the nursery will be cute!!

Here are the latest belly pics (not that there is much to show outside of a little chubbiness). The first was taken at 8 weeks and the 2nd at 12 weeks. Hoping for more of a belly next time we attempt to document some growth! :)
