1st trimester screening

Today, Larsen and I went for our first trimester screening. The baby was doing a head stand the entire time! He/She was super wiggly and kicking and punching! It was amazing at what we could see considering he/she is only 14 cm!  

 Earlier, while we were in the waiting room, a nurse from the hospital asked me if I would like to be part of a research study consisting of 10,000 women who are pregnant with their first child in order to help determine low birth rate, early delivery, etc. She said I would have to come in for three appointments over the next six months and at these appointments I would have blood work, an exam, and an ultrasound done....not just any ultrasound, but 3D ultrasounds! THREE! FOR FREE! I thought, "Yahoo!" and signed up!

We heard the heartbeat!

We heard it! My wonderful friend Robin let us borrow a pocket fetal doppler and it works! I was a bit apprehensive because I am barely 12 weeks along, but we heard it! I made sure I called Stephen to let him and Kayla know...of course they were excited! Ok I have to get some sleep now! :)

Introducing Baby Weisser!

Larsen and I are so happy to announce that we are expecting our first child! Stephen and Kayla are also super excited and everyone is so supportive! 


I am not the greatest writer, but I want to make an attempt at keeping up with this blog as a way to keep all of my peeps updated! (please note that the pictures are not of the highest quality, but I just really, really wanted to post them for all to see - I will work on improving them soon!)


On Monday, January 30th, Larsen and I went for our first appointment.  The baby measured 4cm and was 8 weeks and 5 days old. Here is a pic!

I've been very lucky in the area of "morning sickness". I've only had a few nauseating moments, and many of them occurred at work...go figure! ;-)


I do feel like an old lady since I have been crawling in bed before Stephen and Kayla! I love my bed with the electric blanket cranked up!  Even though I get over 9 hours of sleep on weeknights,  I am still tired!


I have lost 10 pounds as of today, but don't know where it is going because none of my clothes seem looser! The only change that I can feel is the awful sciatica that I have been dealing with for over 3 weeks. By the time the work day is over and it is time to make dinner, it kicks in with a vengeance! 


Larsen has been super patient with my food choices and Stephen and Kayla are great, as always! Stephen is hoping upon all hopes for a baby brother, and Kayla is just so excited to have a little sibling on the way! 


Today, I went to my second doctor appointment where they checked the heartbeat. Sure enough, it was beating healthily and he/she even jumped when the doc was trying to take the picture! :)  Below is Baby Weisser at 11 weeks and 5 days!
