Ultrasound #3

On March 9, Durbin & I went for ultrasound #3! I won't forget my exhausted husband (who'd been on call all night) running into the room just in time to see our baby! This time it was even more eye opening to see just how big our baby has grown in the past 7-8 weeks or so! I can't describe the feeling when we saw the baby move. We couldn't tell if he/she was sucking their thumb or just waving:) The pictures are absolutely amazing! That first glance when you see your child move sure is a tear-jearker! We can't wait for the 3D ultrasound!
By now I'm about ready to start getting into those maternity clothes. I have to admit, they are much cuter than I ever imagined. It's fun finding a whole new wardrobe! A Pea in the Pod is definitely taking over my closet:) Durbin had a pretty good time picking a few things out....and he hates shopping:))
The doctor said things are going really well! I've put on a total of 7-8 lbs at week 23! I'm going to try and "hit" the gym since I've had a Thin Mint obessession lately which I'm sure will catch up with me sooner or later:) Hopefully later!
Here are a few pcitures from the end of trimester 2!

THANK YOU TO MY WONDERFUL HUSBAND, DURBIN, FOR MAKING EVERY APPOINTMENT! IT WOULDN'T BE THE SAME WITHOUT YOU THERE & I WOULDN'T WANT IT ANY OTHER WAY!

Ultrasound #2

On January 4, Durbin & I went for ultrasound #2! It's amazing the difference we saw in just 3 weeks! At this point I was beginning 2nd trimester. Of course I was a little hesitant to get on that infamous scale, but things seem to be in order....so says that Doctor! After weeks of my muchies, I had put on about 1-2 lbs! :) I can hardly wait & see what the future months hold:))

Ultrasound #1

Durbin & I went for our 9 week ultrasound back in December! It was amazing to hear the heartbeat and see the small little "peanut!":))) Here's a couple pictures of the first glimpse at our baby!

Little Durbin - aka The Durbinator:)

We are so excited to announce that we are expecting our 1st baby in July!! Almost in 3rd trimester & everything is going very well! People keep asking, but we are NOT finding out the sex since it's the only real big surprise you get in life! It hasn't been difficult not knowing....it's actually been pretty fun!

Thank you Mom & Dad for the nursery! You guys haven't left much for us but we're still having fun picking things out!:) It's definitely going to be a wild ride, but we're thankful that it was easy and stress free.....as my friends have said....1 try equals fertile turtle:))

Pregnancy Week by Week

Amelia Island Countdown!

Well, it's almost one of those times of year again. Durbin and I are headed for another week of vacation. We decided to stick in the US this time and head to The Ritz Carlton in Amelia Island. It's a little more calm than what we are used to, but as "adults" and as we grow.....in more ways than one.....we figured something a little more romantic and relaxing would be perfect. A week of relaxation before our lives pick up and never slow down again is definitely in order!!!
