Exciting Renovations!

Can you believe it??  After two years of trying, we're finally pregnant!  (Yes, "we".  Kevin received a book for Christmas from his brother called "Dad's Pregnant, Too!"  LOL

This is technically our second pregnancy... we found out that we were pregnant in April, a month before our Ireland trip.  But only a couple days after our positive pregnancy test, it turned out that my HCG levels were not promising and it ended up being an ectopic pregnancy (the egg had implanted itself somewhere other than the uterus, probably in a fallopian tube.)  To prevent the tube from bursting (very painful and resulting in surgery) the doctor gave me a shot of methotrexate, which is actually a drug used in chemotherapy that kills off rapidly dividing cells.  Then I had to wait three months for it to get out of my system before we could start trying again.

But anyway, here we are, just going into the second trimester!  The first trimester has been pretty easy... I haven't really had any morning sickness to speak of, though I have had an aversion to cooking so poor Kevin has been subsisting on Ramen noodles and bread and butter and I have eaten cereal for dinner more than once.  I really hope that I can get back into cooking soon.  I bought a pregnancy cookbook and have made one recipe so far, but I'm looking forward to trying out some more.

Here are some pics from our latest ultrasound... the doctor says it's probably a girl, but not to go out and buy a bunch of pink stuff yet.  We will know more at our next ultrasound on January 21.  It's hard to believe the baby is about the length of your thumb in these pictures...

Congratulations! Best of luck on the pregnancy journey. It doesn't last forever. Or so I'm told. :)
