Since Jason is not very good at updating his blog, I figured I'd get on and write a "mommy post". We've made it to week 19 and things are going a lot better than previously mentioned. Although I am still experiencing random bits of nausea, terrible indigestion and the headaches (we won't go into those), it all pales in comparisson to the horrible morning sickness that was the first trimester! I must admit, I haven't been the easiest person to live with these past few months and pregnancy hasn't exactly been the most fun I've ever had, there have been some wonderful things that deserve mention:
1. Feeling the baby move! He/she isn't all that active but I can feel movement about once or twice a day now. It makes me feel so much better to feel something going on in there - don't have to worry as much as I was the first 18 or so weeks and it gives me something to look forward to everyday! I also think that pretty soon, Jason will be able to feel some kicking on the outside, I felt a little something last night but he was passed out...his loss!
2. Maternity pants. I swear, women everywhere should invest in maternity pants for normal, daily wear. These aren't the maternity pants of our parent's day and age...imagine normal pants that ride a little lower and have elastic in the waist. My newest pair even have a zipper and button, look totally normal but are AMAZINGLY comfortable. Don't see any reason to get rid of those post-baby...
3. Knowing at the end of all this there will be a little baby to show for it. I'm not the most sentimental person and thus far my maternal instinct hasn't really kicked in but, I am SO excited to be able to bring the little one home and be a mom - I feel like we have so much to teach and share with him/her that everyday is going to be a new adventure - getting into the thick of the holiday season is getting me all excited for next year because we'll have one more little family member to share it all with!
Well, I'll try to update this blog more often...I know that when I read blogs, it's very frustrating to go months without any news! And, we have exciting news next week, one week from tomorrow is the big reveal. Boy or girl? What do you think?

April and baby update (12 week appointment)
Well we just got home from the doctor and wanted all to know everything is going great. It was their second appointment. From the first visit, all labs were normal and nothing out of wack, so April and the baby are both very healthy. The exciting news was we actually got to hear the heartbeat. The little heart was pounding away! Around 153-156 beats per min. All normal, and as the doctor says, can't tell if its a boy or girl from the heart beat fyi! So gotta wait till December 8th. and we all will know.

The Things Kids Say
Yesterday, Kayla flew into town for her 1st semister break from school. When we found out April was pregnant, we wanted to tell Kayla in person. She has been begging ever since we were married to have a baby, she wanted to be a big sister soooo bad. So yesterday while having lunch, we decided to spread the news. As we ate, we told Kayla and of course she was in a little shock, happy shock, but it took a little while to sink in - she is 7, what do you expect? Well after a while, Kayla was unpacking with April when she asks, "How are you going to have a baby". April, being somewhat cautious in her answer responds, "Well, the baby grows in my tummy..." and Kayla interjects "and come out down there" (as she points to the spot where babies come out). With slight shock, April responds, "That's right, and it's probably going to hurt". Little Kayla, in all of her wiseness responds "You probably didn't think about that first, did you?" Too funny. Later, she randomly says, "I'm so glad I'm not a grown up so I don't have to deal with all that kind of stuff yet..." She certainly makes things interesting!

Baby "A", be nice to mommy....Please
Well one thing that we have missed from Virginia is how close Chili's was. Well today we went to by Kayla a bike for her birthday and was close to the Chili's here in Oregon. Well as we entered all was well and a little excited about some of the simple little things we miss. Well as our lunch was served, little baby "A" did not like Chili's as much as mommy does and we ended lunch a little early. As the afternoon progressed, we missed the family Sunday dinner with April's parents. For a long story short, I ended up going to Aprils parents and grabbing dinner. I know she can't wait for this part of pregnacy to end. For the flying part, April flies to San Fran on business tomorrow morning, we are hoping and praying it all goes great for her and she will be able to do her work and not be totally sick. So in a few, baby "A" and I will talk and hopefully baby "A" will listen to daddy and will be nice to mommy, for at least a couple hours!
