14 WEEKS 1 DAY

I made it to second trimester! woo hoo! There were moments I thought for sure we were not going to see this day! So with a sigh of relief we are able to spread the news with more confidence than before. I am hanging in there still throwing up everyday and have not gained any weight yet. I have a doctors appointment Tuesday to check on everything. As for all those people who just loved being pregnant and never felt a day of misery do yourself a huge favor and steer clear of me until after June (I'm a little bitter) That's all for now! Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!!!!!!

13 Weeks, my how time flies

So here we are at 13 weeks! We had an ultrasound yesterday and got to watch the baby for 30 minuets flip, flop and kick. After watching my husband for the last 8 years I know all his movements and expressions. We noticed the baby made similar movements and moved its mouth and jaw like Kari does. It is still to early to tell for sure but I am thinking I have a Kari jr on my hands. We still have to wait 6 more weeks to find out if its a boy or girl but the wait makes it all the more exciting!

Finally.... expanding our family!

So I have been taking along break from the photography. Every single second and all our energy has been involved in the process of expanding our family! For those of you who don't know, Kari and I have been doing fertility treatments for two and a half years. We decided to make the treck to the best IVF clinic in the country out in Denver, Colorado! The process was grueling with alot of ups and downs and unexpected complications but we ended up transferring in two embryo's and 1 made it! So our first baby will be due June 22, 2012! We are at 12 weeks and have decided to share the news with all our friends and family! Here are a few photos of our journey from the clinic in Colorado up until now. I feel like my stomach is huge but considering I was almost 9 pounds at birth this should be no surprise!
