Dr. Visit #2...

We had our second appointment with the doc yesterday afternoon. It went really well! We were both a little disappointed that there wasn't an ultra sound, but we still got to hear the heart beat. It's just amazing!!! I could not stop giggling so that kept messing up the sound, and Alex was trying to tell me to be quiet so he could hear and that just made me giggle more! :)
Everything is good, belly (little but growing) looks good, low blood pressure, no weight gain...but that's "normal"....now if this nausea would only go away...

Another weekend over, another week closer...

We had a pretty good weekend! Friday afternoon we lounged around the house and watched Scarface. Friday night we decided to go to Bob's Steak and Chop House for dinner. I was a little nervous because meat hasn't really been "my thing" lately, but I was willing to give it a shot! Dinner was delicious! I really enjoyed it and felt totally fine afterwards.

Saturday Alex got up early to golf at the Club and I slept in!!! I decided to head out to the mall for a little bit. Which turned out to be a zoo! You would think someone with as much retail experience as myselft would have known, but cleary I drew a blank. I picked up a birthday present for my dad and a little something for the dad-to-be. (so much for me finding a new bag)

Saturday afternoon I started to feel really really sick...and then that was the end of that. I was pretty much sick the rest of the day/night...chicken broth and crackers were the only two things I ate the rest of the day. (yuck) We watched Frost/Nixon Saturday night, which was a great movie! If you haven't seen it, its worth watching.

Sunday I finally felt better. So good that I went to the gym! Alex reminded me of "Spa Night" that our gym is having, so I made an appointment for a service...or two. I'm looking forward to those, let me just tell you. I've attached a few pics of some things we've recieved or picked up for the baby. The pacifier is from Jessica, my dear friend from work. The booties and hat are from none other than aunt-to-be Jessica, my sister. And the two little onesies I bought :)

One last note...Finally a "belly" shot and a picture of Father's Day weekend with my dad and sister...when I told him he was going to be a Paw Paw :)

(as far as the picture goes, I'm 11 weeks today)

The Weekend

We had a pretty great weekend! Alex has been so supportive and as understanding as I could ask...he spent an hour Friday night online googling menus of local places that he thought sounded good to me...After much failure with just hearing the food, we settled on Terrilli's. They have a great 3 piece band and such a fun atmosphere! I even had my water in a wine glass to feel more social :) It was awesome people watching and just a great night!

Saturday we spent the morning at the gym and then headed to one of our favorite places...Scott and Carla's! On the way there, we actually agreed on our baby name whether it's a boy or girl...just like that! It's not a secret, but I think we'll wait to see what we're having. We had a blast, as always, with them by the pool and long after the sun went down. I was feeling great until we got home and actually got "sick" for the first time...so there's one more food to cross off the do not eat list...ha! Not fun and hope that's the only episode.

Sunday we watched the last round and extra holes at Old Monk! We were out and about all day and then dinner at JinBeh...mmmm...it was delicious!

Hope to post pics soon!!

Love,
Alex, Susie, Baby Vest

...and plus baby makes 3!!!

Alex and I are so excited to be on this overwhelming, amazing journey! We are even more excited to share it with our family and friends. I found out I was pregnant in June and I'm due on February 10, 2010! I hope you enjoy the all the posts and pictures for the next 9 months! :)
