The end of our First Trimester!

Greetings to all of my Friends & Family!
This is my official announcement that we are pregnant! 

How am I feeling?
I apologize for not being in contact lately, but I have been on high Morning Sickness Alert. :) Yes.......It is bad. And its with me 24/7. I lost 12 pounds and I 
am hungry! :) But, Please do not worry, the nausea is not as intense as it was
in the beginning and I am feeling slightly better with the aide of Anti-Nausea medicine. (it's baby safe) 
Today's Schedule:
We had our second ultra sound today and reality hit me as I watched this new
little life (6cm) on the monitor. It didn't look like a little bean! It looked like a little mini baby
with a strong heart beat, little head, hands lifted up in the air, feet kicking........it was amazing.
I couldn't believe at 12 weeks a baby's development happened so fast!  We are sooo Happy.
Unfortunately, it is too early to tell the baby's sex. But,we are taking a poll. So, if you want to take a guess you have a 50/50 chance. :)  There is only one baby, believe me! That was the first question I asked.
What can I eat?
Well, Rice & Pea's or Beans, fish (not spicy), Pineapples, Nectarines, Red Grapes, Green Grapes (I have to peel the skin), Veggie Burger, (no condiments), and Sorbet.  It is a limited diet, but its something.
Thank you for all of your love and support.

Aww congrats on the ultrasound! Isn't that unbelievable? Just one word of advice, based on personal experience-- DON"T try to laminate that ultrasound pic. Burns it to a crisp. Brilliant. If we were there, we'd sit around and peel grapes for you. oxoxoxo!

I am so excited for you guys!!! And I am going to guess...girl. I don't know why, and I'm not exactly the best guesser, but I'll just say girl. Brooklyn thinks it is a girl too, she told me last night, over ice cream and apple pie.

Hey, I've been avoiding eating peanuts - apparently, there is speculation that if a pregnant woman has allergies, avoiding peanuts can lessen the chances of her child having bad allergies/asthma. Hasn't been confirmed but there is speculation. No peanut butter, peanuts, peanut-flavored anything (thought I would pass this on as a fellow allergy sufferer).

Speak to you soon!

Love,
Steph

YAY!!!! Simon is already talking about his new cousin. I think it will be a boy (although God help you if it is. He will be FAST!) So glad you're keeping a blog. I'm RSSing it.
