Welcome to my blog! I received inspiration to create this from my sister Lindsay whose sister-in-law hosted a blog for her baby boy James. To this day she continues to update her friends on his growth and development and her new life as a mom. I've never been much into blogs but I thought this may be a neat way to keep everyone up to date on our baby.
Today I am 9 weeks, 2 days. I had my first prenatal appointment last week and was pleasantly surprised with an ultrasound. I did not even know they did ultrasounds this early! There I learned that I was not as far along as I had thought. Based on the size of the baby, 1.75 cm, I was 8 weeks, 2 days at that appointment so my due date was pushed back to December 27th. The prospect of a Christmas baby is exciting! I saw the heartbeat and it was amazing. It took my breath away. I won't be able to hear it until my next appointment. I am going back on July 2nd but before then, I will be doing the run around at different locations to have all the blood and early genetic testing done. What fun!
I have been feeling great so far! No morning sickness at all. I was having some trouble for a few weeks riding the train to work because the stopping and starting and the motion was making me a little uneasy. That has gone away now. My hunger has dramatically increased but I remain sensible about what I put in my mouth. I haven't slept straight through the night in weeks which is unusual for me. I wake up early each morning around 3 to go to the bathroom. I am also becoming a lighter sleeper and I think my body is preparing itself for those many sleepless nights to come.
It may be coincidence but I think Sugar senses a change in me. She always sits and sleeps with me. I used to be her steppin' stone to get to Dan but now he has taken on that role.
I am going to try and update this blog at least once per week! Feel free to email me with questions if you have any. tonikahl@yahoo.com or tinypawprint@gmail.com
Oh, and for names... we have a girl name Annabelle. The boy name is still up in the air and I have a feeling will be for a while.
Love
Toni

I love your blog! It's a great way to let everyone know how you are doing and to keep us up to date on the new and exciting things you and Dan are experiencing. Great choice in a girls name! I can't wait to hear what you will choose for a boys name, just in case.
