Travel, travel, travel...

Well, the Cooks are on the road again. I am flying out this afternoon to meet Kevin in Tulsa to spend the weekend with my grandparents in Northwest Arkansas. Haven't had a good visit with them in a while, so I figured we were overdue. Then, we will be gone the next 2 or 3 weekends after that to Georgetown. Kevin's youngest brother, Benjamin, is coming home on leave from Iraq so we feel like we should be there to spend as much time with him and the family as possible. In between, that also includes the Cook boys annual fishing trip at the coast. Never a dull moment.

Of course, being in Georgetown a few weekends in a row will let us pick up the baby furniture we got such a great deal on. This pregnancy thing gets more real everyday. I have finally passed most of the nausea (only occasional bouts), and I am just getting ready to start my second trimester. That is so crazy! Some days it feels like we just found out and some days it's like we have been pregnant forever. But, I am loving it! We have a 12 week appointment on Tuesday where we should get to hear the heartbeat, and I am really excited about that.

Until then, everyone have a great Memorial Day weekend! :)

9 weeks and counting

So, I am rather behind in posting. My sister and I both had our 8 week appointments last week, and they adjusted her date by a couple of days so now we aren't due the exact same day. Still, it's fun to be pregnant together, and we have enjoyed calling and e-mailing each other to share experiences.

Even though I couldn't hear the heartbeat, it was amazing to have my sonogram and see the heartbeat. It was nice to know there really is something in there that I have been suffering through this nausea and fatigue for each day.

I am a week behind on my "belly" pics but I don't really think it counts yet anyway. So, here I am at a little over 9 weeks. It's been a roller coaster so far, but all in all I am loving it. Here's to mommyhood.
