Raining babies

It seems like this is the year of the baby. I have several friends who all had babies last year and this year, all of my friends out here are now pregnant or trying. We can make up our own Green Lake mob :-).

17 weeks

Now I'm 17 weeks along. The extreme tiredness has passed and I'm feeling good. Trying to get lots of exercise now while I can. I had a check up this week and Green Bean seems to be growing fine...its heartbeat is strong. We're going in for the big ultrasound (where we find out what it is) on June 9th. Any guesses?

We're also going to tour a daycare later June 9th - not for right away, but a center that won't take them until the babies are one. Seems crazy, but it's right near our home so hopefully that's where Green Bean will go once it's old enough. In the mean time we're hoping to get it into a place close to work.

Green bean growing

We're starting this blog as a way to keep family and friends up to date on what's going on with us since many are a bit further away than is always convenient.

To start off the news, I'm pregnant and due right around Halloween. To answer the inevitable questions:
So far I've been feeling pretty good...a little tired early on but mostly normal now. No, no morning sickness. No, we don't know what it is yet (we'll find out in just over a month). No, we're not hoping for a girl or a boy, we'll be happy either way. Yes, we're very excited!

Green bean was named by a friend of ours who declared months before we got pregnant that our baby would be called "green bean". And so it will, at least until we give it it's full name.
