Picture of the Future...
Holding Baby Kira- Congratulations Laryssa & Mark! Kira, and her twin sister Azaria, are only 5 weeks old and a little of 7 lbs. So cute! I love these pictures and can't wait to take some with our own little bundle of joy!

2nd Trimester- Whoooo Hooooooooooooo!!
Today is officially the first day of our 2nd trimester!! Dustin and I are both SO EXCITED that now we can finally share the news with all our friends and family!!
For those of you who are reading the blog for the first time I’ll give you a quick recap: We found out we were pregnant June 19th- it was a bit of a surprise, since we had planned on starting to “try” in October after our trip to Europe, but Baby Bradley had other plans and we couldn’t be happier! I also found out my friend Kara at work is pregnant too and we’re due only 3 days apart! It’s been great having someone to share stories and swap advice with.
I’ve had pretty bad morning/all-day sickness the entire time, which I’m hoping will start to go away soon now that we’re out of the 1st trimester. We’ve had 3 doctor appointments so far and all have gone very well- Baby Bradley is doing great!! Our next appointment is September 3 and we’ll be able to find out the sex then. I can’t believe how fast time is flying by! My doctor, Dr. Biter, has been AMAZING- I feel very lucky and blessed to have found him!
Dustin, my “Knight in Shining Armor”, has been amazing throughout the entire pregnancy- pretty much waiting on me hand and foot. I couldn’t ask for a better partner to go through this journey with. I’m sure he’s getting tired of eating potatoes, tomato soup, and Cheezits all the time, which is pretty much all I’ve been craving/eating. Not to mention all of the last minute trips to the store he has to make for Pedialyte (my drink of choice these days), but he’s doing a GREAT job of being supportive and understanding. He’s also taken on several household projects to get ready for the baby like redoing the kitchen cabinets and landscaping in the backyard. His latest project is building built-in bookcases and a desk for our new office, since the existing office will soon be a nursery. Who knew I married such a handyman- everything looks awesome!!
I think that’s pretty much it for now. :-)
Kara & I were both 12 weeks pregnant at the time of this pic. It's crazy how just holding your belly instantly makes you look preggers, even before you start to show.

12 Week Check-Up
We had our 3rd sonogram today (this time on the belly rather than internal). Dr. Biter says everything looks GREAT- heart rate, measurements, etc! Baby Bradly was even putting on a little show for us- moving all around. :-)
Baby Bradley is doing great... Mommy is getting there. I'm still feeling very tired and nauseas (especially in the mornings). I've lost 6 pounds since last month, but the doctor says not to worry that losing weight is pretty common for mothers who have bad morning sickness. As long as my iron looks good, which it does, everything is fine. Hopefully I'll start feeling better as my 1st trimester wraps up (count down to August 20th).
Next appointment is September 3rd- my birthday!! We'll be able to find out the sex then. What a great b-day present!?! Other updates: We got the green light to go to Europe in October. Doctor thinks we can also go back to NC for Christmas, but he says no more flying after that. Yipee!!
Baby Bradley is now the size of a lime! How cute!!
