Baby Bell

Well now that the beans are spilled I can talk about it on this blog now and get all you people up to date. I'm officially 13 weeks pregnant and due January 13th. Doug and I are so excited to be parents. We found out we were having our little bundle of joy at the beginning of May, right before we left to Texas. So it was REALLY hard for me to keep it a secret from Valerie while I was there. We wanted to wait until I had my first appointment to tell our families.

So far I've had a pretty easy pregnancy. No morning sickness really. Sometimes I'll get nauseous and have to get out of the kitchen while I'm cooking but other than that I've been really lucky. Around 7 or 8 weeks I would get really tired and go to bed at 7 or 7:30 every night and then wake up to pee in the middle of the night. I'm not as tired now, but I still pee quite a bit.

We have had 2 appointments so far. This last appointment at 12 weeks was the best one so far, we got to hear the heartbeat. Our little one is doing fine as far as we know with a heartbeat of 160. It was the the most beautiful sound I've ever heard. It all became a lot more real to me when I heard the heart beat. There is actually a little one growing inside of me and I love it!

I love reading thebump.com. This website is the best, every week I go on it compares the size of my baby to a fruit. This week the lucky fruit is a peach! Cute huh! When we found out we were pregnant the baby was the size of an apple seed and now it's a peach.

Anyway, I'm loving being pregnant, especially since it's been easy so far. I can't wait to find out if we will add another girl to the Clark side or be the first ones to have a boy. We get to find out the sex at the end of August. We can't wait!
