So, when I told Andy I was pregnant, we read that the baby was the size of a poppy seed. Since then, we've been referring to the baby as Poppy. The doctor confirmed the pregnancy at 7 weeks and we had an appointment again yesterday just shy of 12 weeks where we heard the heartbeat and had an ultrasound. Due date is set for August 10th. I've been able to maintain my weight during the first three months (thank you, nausea!) so I'm still down 40+ pounds from my highest weight so YAY! My blood pressure was a little high when the doctor took it at 7 weeks but was back to normal yesterday -- I'm pretty sure my nervousness at the first appointment was to blame.
Overall, I'm feeling OK. I've had some nausea but it seems to be getting better. I had bronchitis in December and couldn't take anything because of Poppy and have another cold again now. I'm sure working with 5 year olds doesn't help. I'm tired almost all of the time!

Our other baby is enjoying her new house and the new windows with views of the neighborhood. She likes to lay on our bed during the day and look out the second story window. She's SO cute! :)
