Catching Up

It has been awhile since my last post, so I'll try to catch up on a few things that I neglected to write about. At the start of May we took a trip out to Wisconsin to see my brother's baby who was born in April. We took a day trip to Chicago, but for the most part the trip was pretty relaxed because I was 12 weeks pregnant and very nauseous. On that note, I was really sick up until about 18 weeks, but I continued to take the nausea medicine the doctor gave me up until about 20 weeks. Since I was well into my second trimester at that point I figured I was done being sick so I stopped taking the medicine and within 48 hours I was throwing up again. Last week having reached 26 weeks I thought I was in the clear so I quit taking it again and about 48 hours later I threw up, so it looks like I am one of those lucky girls who is sick their entire pregnancy. I am just so grateful for modern medicine! I don't know what I'd do without it. Other than that things have gone smoothly so far and I am so excited to meet our little baby GIRL in a few months! That was some other exciting news we learned of in July- that we would be having a baby GIRL. We had assumed we were having a boy so it was definitely a surprise, but one that we are so excited about! Enough talk. Here are a couple pictures of our trip and our celebration on finding out our baby's gender. I wasn't really in the mood for taking pictures on our trip to Wisconsin so we didn't get many...

July 9th we found out we are having a little GIRL and we couldn't be happier!

On August 7th we went to Wicked and loved every minute of it!

 Here I am at 25 weeks and my brother was kind enough to tell me I finally looked pregnant and not just like I've gained weight. This Thursday I will be 27 weeks and am so excited the count down finally feels close!
