Week 5 - Size of a Sweet Pea

enlarged to show detail

Hello everyone!  Thank you for all of the love and support surrounding our little Rosey.  We couldn't be happier - or more terrified - of the great adventure that awaits us.  We wanted to keep you up to date on what's going on as we learn.  So if you want all the nitty gritty details, they'll be here!


We found out we were pregnant last Saturday.  We stalled in taking the test for a few days...probably just nervous to know the answer either way.  But there were some signs that gave me an inkling that things might get exciting but we didn't want to get our hopes up.  For me, the biggest signs were the crazy dreams I was having.  Poor Joe, I was waking up fighting monkeys and yelling for help.  Now we both have crazy dreams about all sorts of babies.  Other than some slight nausea and trying to will off my good friend Dr. Pepper there's nothing too much going on.  Joe might say differently but you'll have to ask him...I'm confident he won't say I've been crabby.


Right now our little one is just the size of a sweet pea.  We are going to the doctor to make all of this official on Monday morning. 


We will find out whether its a girl or a boy as soon as possible (I can't hardly wait) but we'd love to hear your gut feelings.  I'll tell you that both Joe and I have had the gut feeling it is a girl; however, whenever I make reference, I say him.  So that's confusing. 

Well, we will keep you up to date and would love your prayers.  Primarily for a healthy baby and for great peace for the next step of our family.  Also, winning the lottery would be awesome.


We love you all and hope you'll keep in close touch!  Here's Joe's to do list...
