I went baby shopping with Alyson this past weekend.. it was FUN and very "whelming" (H). I found an awesome crib at Pottery Barn (insert laugh here)! It was fun to look at but the $500 price tag is enough to break anyone's baby bank.. or heart! Also I found Crib bedding. Its very simple, owls and trees, and I love it. Target for less than 20 bucks! Can't beat it. :) I'm getting antsy about getting the room together already! We've got a while.
The Boss said I was getting fat today.. I laughed because its true. It's a good fat! I feel healthy, and I pray everyday that this little one is growing healthy and is safe.
Caitlin is having a BOY!!! She snuck an ultrasound in at work (lucky). I'm so stinkin happy for them, the growing Theiss family! Now to see what Michelle is having! Heather will have a boy.. but we'll find that out in November! I've decided I THINK I want to wait to find out what we're having, at least for a while. Maybe we can have the doctor write it down and then when we decide we are ready, John and I can open it at home or something. I want to try to wait until dood is born though. John does not, he wants to know like yesterday.
We have our first appointment with the Trihealth Midwives on May 11th. We are super excited about it, they've answered all of our questions over the phone and we werent told to google anything!
Love to you all

First Trimester - Samantha
If I had to sum up my First Trimester in one word it would be: PUKE! For those of you who know me well, you understand that being sick is one of the worst things that could happen to me. And boy oh boy, baby did not care!
Lesson One of Early Parenthood: Nothing is about me anymore! and it never will be again. :o)
My first doctor's visit was quite interesting, I was more nervous about being at the doctor than anything, but it went very well. Healthy baby, Healthy Mommy and a Wide Eyed Dad! Our ultrasound was INCREDIBLE.. the little vomit inducer was actually there! So this was it, I wasnt just sick, I am actually pregnant!
In more recent realizations I've put two and two together and figured out that pregnancy means that in a few months I'll be a mom with a real baby to take care of. That thought made me want to take a nap.. So I did.
God's poured His blessings on our family over the past two years and I have no doubt that He will continue to do so and have a lot to teach me along the way. Its hard to fear parenthood when you are determined to let God do His Almighty work. Let Go, and Let God.. its the easiest, hardest thing to do. :o)

Dooder Treas
The little dood will be here before we know it! We'll keep you posted on how baby is growing and new things we're experiencing as a family. This is a FIRST for me for blogging, and I'm sure in the year to come our family will experience dozens more firsts.
