18 weeks

It's that time again, time for an update!

I wanted to let everyone know how we're doing so far and give some updated pictures. We are at 18 weeks right now. Almost 1/2 way done. We can't wait to hold our little peanut.

We are all doing great. Work in getting busy for the both of us, so we're trying to save up as much money as possible before this little one gets here. Baby F is kicking like crazy lately too! It isn't hard enough for Brad to feel yet though. In the next week or two, he should be able to feel everything.

As for the nursery, we haven't even started yet. My mom is coming up in two weeks for the ultrasound and we're going to paint the bed room and get the crib put together. I will post those pictures as we go.

This first picture is from 15 weeks.

This second picture is at 17 weeks.

Only two more weeks and we get some more pictures of our lil peanut! I can't wait for that ultrasound. And Mom, if you're reading this... NO! You can't find out what we're having!!

Nursery Ideas

I just wanted to start a blog about what items I have found for the nursery that I have fallen in love with. The best part is that they are from Walmart.com and there is $0 for shipping.

Let me know what you think.

Gender neutral. This is the only thing not from Walmart.com.

12 Weeks

We had our 12 week appointment today. Everything went really well. We got to hear the heartbeat. It was at 160 bpm. Nice and strong, just the way they like to see it.

We got to mett our doctor as well. I am super excited to be working with her. I hope she will be around to deliver!

Update: 9 Weeks

I wanted to send out an update to everyone and you know how things are going so far. I am currently 9 weeks along. We finally told everyone in the family. Everyone is super excited for us. This baby is going to be so loved.

When people find out that you're expecting, you get three typical questions... How are you feeling? Are you going to find out what you're having? and What names do you have picked out?

So, to answer these questions for those of you who haven't been able to ask yet... I feel great. No morning sickness. Just tired all day long. No, we're not going to find out what we're having. I know that's strange these days, but we want the surprise. As for names, we do have some picked out. For a boy, Cooper John. For a girl, I haven't decided between Aubree or Braelyn. These names are as of today, who knows what I will be feeling when the baby actually arrives.

Only 210 days until Baby Fischer is supposed to be here. Almost 7 months away. It's going to be a long summer!

Here is a picture of myself at 9 weeks 6 days.

Ultrasound #2

We had ultrasound #2 today. We are on track for our September 12th due date! We got to see the heartbeat and our little peanut. The heart rate was 168.


We are offically 7 weeks today.


Our parents are supposed to be coming to our house this weekend. We were planning on telling them then. My mom doesn't know if she wants to come yet. Boy, she is going to kick herself in the pants if she doesn't come to MN for the weekend!




Here is a photo of the little Baby Fischer. Enjoy!

First Ultrasound

Brad and I had our first ultrasound today. They weren't able to see the baby quite yet. The technician took some pictures, but we didn't get any of them. After measuring the sack, we are approximately 5 weeks and 1 day along. This means that we conceived on December 8th and we are due on September 12th.
I should be hearing something from an RN in the next couple days to let us know where they want to go from here. Hopefully I won't have to have anymore needle pokes!

First Prenatal Appointment

Hello everyone,

I went in today for more blood tests. After the nurse took about 7 containers of blood. Again, let me tell you, I hate needles.

We got some really good news today though. My hCG levels needed to be at 5,000 before they would do an ultrasound and it came back at 12,869.6!! Holy cow!! This is great news!

We have an ultrasound scheduled for tomorrow morning at 8am.

I should have some pictures posted soon. :)

We leave for Mexico in 6 days!! Can't wait!!
