Week 13! 2nd Week of School

Yesterday was Eli and my second week of school. Eli is officially off of the pacifer! Yay Elias!! At school, Eli learned the color blue and had a lot of fun playing with the other kids and toys. He also placed a Scholastic Book order- and is very excited to get his new books!

At Cornerstone University, I developed my Proffessional Learning Team in my class and am excited about getting to know my teammates. I am part of a team of 6 for group projects/presentations. Public Speaking here I come! :)

David has been busy with work and trying to work on the trailer and house. He also has been a big help with Eli since I've gone back to school. Thanks David!

Lastly- Baby Neale: we are officially in week 13. Yay! I am actually starting to feel better as well, which is very exciting. Here is what baby Neale is up to this week: baby is forming teeth and vocal cords. Baby is approaching normal proportions, with a head now only one third the size of the body. Intestines are in the process of moving from the umbilical cord to baby's tummy. Baby is about the size of a peach.

Week 12- Finally

Well we made it to week 12 which is always good news. My first doctors appointment went very well on Friday. The doctor did an ultrasound and we were able to see the baby and the heartbeat which was very comforting. I did gain more weight than I had expected....so no more comfort food french fries! I am still waiting to start feeling less sick now that I am in the 2nd trimester. Hopefully soon! Here is what baby Neale is up to this week: "As you move into the second trimester, baby shifts into the growth and maturation stage. After weeks in the critical development stage, almost all of baby's systems are fully formed. "

First Day of School

Monday was the first day of "school" for Eli at the Forest Grove Learning Center! It was also my first day of school at Cornerstone University. Eli had a blast, and wasn't even ready to go home when David went to pick Eli up.

Eli came home with a progress report, and everything went well. The theme for the week is green and yellow. I tried to get a first day of school picture- but it was a little early for Eli and he was more interested in the Clifford the dog banner above my head!

Week 11

Today is the beginning of week 11. We are officially further along than the last pregnancy when we miscarried. This Friday we finally have our first doctor's appointment. I am very anxious. I need reassurance everything is going well.

The baby is about the size of a lime this week. Here is what baby Neale is doing this week. "Your fetus currently enjoys a 1:1 ratio between body and head, and has skin so transparent that blood vessels show right through. But, fingers and toes are no longer webbed, and hair follicles, tooth buds and nail beds are forming -- setting up a significantly more attractive future." -courtesty of BabyBump.com

It's Official 10 Weeks!

Well- the news is out. David and I are expecting. We really wanted to wait until after we heard the baby's heart beat before we started telling everyone- however my body didn't get that memo! We are definitely excited and are anxious to know everything is going well. Our first doctor's appointment is Sept. 11.

I feel like this pregnancy is going well, and it has been completed different than the last. Unlike the past, it took about 5 months before we got pregnant this time around. I have been queezie all day long- rather than just at night. I am soooo tired, which I contribute to chasing a two year old and growing a baby! So here we go again- one day at a time, one prayer at time.
