The Deets

I’m officially done with the first trimester. If the next two go by as fast I have no idea how I’ll get everything done. I have been sick- thanks to the miracle of Zofran the throwing up has been significantly reduced.

We found out I was pregnant during our first few weeks in Las Vegas this summer. So basically, we lived with my parents through my whole first trimester. My mom was pretty much amazing. Can you imagine not having to cook dinner or clean for 3 months? She made things I felt like eating, fed my husband, made me lunch for work, and get this...even cleaned up my throw up. I'm so grateful.

I was completely convinced we were having a girl- completely. We had a girl name, girl nursery, and I’ve been mentally prepared for a girl. Our awesome ultrasound tech told us at thirteen weeks that it’s likely a boy, no guarantees until 18 weeks but it opened up a while new world of possibilities for me.

I love my doctor in Las Vegas, I haven’t met my MI one yet but he doesn’t seem promising. Both said they’ll just work together since I’ll be back and forth. My Las Vegas doctor said we can fly out on a weekend and be induced or we can deliver in MI. Hard decisions!

The one thing I have decided on is a stroller. After much research, review reading and pushing, the UPPAbaby is the winner.

Now we only have about 5000 more decisions to make, like a name!

That is one serious looking stroller. You sure don't mess around do you? If you do have a boy, I will be SO excited... (either way I'd be SO excited...) Anyway... my boys need a little guy to hang out with so that would work out perfectly!!

Love the stroller!! You can't go wrong with a great stroller. I am super excited for you guys and I am really excited it's a boy... Tunner will have a friend!

Oh Mandy, I am so, so excited for you! I have been hoping to see this announcement on here this Summer! Hope you start feeling better soon! And really? She thinks she can tell the gender at 13 weeks? Impressive.

So...do you recommend the specialist you were seeing in Lansing?

I always wanted a stroller where they faced you instead of out. I'm just a little jealous... Good choice!

Welcome to the second trimester! Hope you start to feel better soon!

I'm so sorry to hear that you've been sick! I can't imagine being so well taken care of through it :) I'm sick for well over 1/2 the time (still sick at the end, just feeling better in comparison to the beginning) and with each kid it has gotten worse only because I have more to take care of. I tried Zofran 1 time and it made me LOOOOOPY!!! I couldn't function while taking it so I had to continue throwing up 6-10 times a day. NO FUN! I wish you luck. I Hope eveyrthing goes well till the end! A boy will be fun. I'm sure loving mine :) It's so different after 3 girls!

MANDY - I am so excited for you!!! Congratulations!!! Beckett was born on V-Day. I loved being pregnant during that time. It is the best. I love the stroller. I am sure you will get a lot of use out of it. I loved Zofran, I never threw up but I was nausious ALL the time. I just didn't like all of the side effects.
