Baby Update - 11 Weeks

I went to my second doctor's appointment on Thursday and everything checks out great! I was able to hear the baby's heartbeat. It was a fast 160-170 bpm!! The doctor confirmed a due date of March 28th. Exactly one week after Tyler's original due date!! Good month to have a baby! :)
I am feeling okay. I have been nauseous quite frequently, some moments worse than others. Then I'll have days where I feel perfectly fine. I have been napping a lot, too. That could be either the pregnancy or having a very active 2 year old!
Tim is super excited and has been very supportive through this first trimester. You can't wipe the smile off his face! We are still waiting a while longer before we really explain to Tyler what is going on. He doesn't really understand, yet. We'll keep you posted on the progress!

Summer Vacation 2007












We are relaxed and revived - home from Hilton Head Island! We took our annual summer vacation to our favorite place. We had a blast!!! This was Tyler's third time down there, and definitely the best. He was able to enjoy everything much more this time. He loved splashing in the ocean, playing in the sand, and swimming in the pool.
The frozen custard wasn't so bad, either!! Uncle Jordan ("Bubba" as he calls him) came for a visit Sunday - Monday. Tuesday thru Saturday, we had Mimi and Papa stay with us.






Each day we would get up for a morning walk on the beach with coffee (and the occasional pastry...) then, we'd head home for breakfast and get ready for the pool. Our complex has a great kids' pool, so we enjoyed many hours at that one. The "big" pool is nice, too, and would take Tyler there to "practice" his strokes! We took a break from the sun one day and visited the island's Children's Museum. Tyler enjoyed it. It was simple and not so overwhelming. He even brought some artwork home. Tim and Blythe even got a date night out which was a nice treat. What a fun week for everyone!
