17 Week Belly shot

Here's my 17 week belly picture. Depending on what I'm wearing, I actually think I look pregnant to other people. Still, most of the time, it just looks like too much pizza consumption. Two more weeks until the next ultrasound!!

Baby Hahn-16 week appointment

I had a doctor's appointment this week where everything checked out great. My blood pressure was stellar, weight gain doing alright, and the baby's heartbeat was 144bpm. Doctor said 144 is "perfect" for 16 weeks.

Funny story about the Doppler reading. So I was laying on the scary table in the doctor's office and the nurse got out the Doppler to check the baby's heartbeat. She put the gel on the microphone part of the Doppler and then touched it to my belly. Right away we heard this big thump, like someone had taken their fingers and flicked the microphone at a sound check. I asked her what that was and she said the baby kicked the microphone! I guess this baby is like Daddy...needs his/her own time in the morning before being disturbed! ha! What a sweet sound when I finally got to hear that heartbeat though. Nothing can compare!

I have felt SO much better the past week and a half. The nausea is pretty much history, with my biggest symptoms being exhaustion and hunger, with some severe heart burn. I am not complaining about any of that though! I'll take any of those over nausea ANY day of the week!

I go back to the doctor on June 9th for an ultrasound, where we COULD find out the sex of the baby...but we WONT :). I already told the doctor a million times that we wanted to wait until the birth to know whether we are having a boy or girl. I threatened to make a puffy paint shirt just to remind them during the ultrasound. Hopefully it wont come to that!

More to come!

Belly Shot...Reluctantly!

Here's my 15 week belly shot. I post this reluctantly, as I think I look HORRIBLE in the pics. I still feel like I just look chunky instead of pregnant, but I have gotten multiple requests from out of town folks for the update, so here you go! Please pretend that I dont look as exhausted as I feel!

Baby Hahn due November 1st!!

Here's Baby Hahn at 12 weeks and 1 day!

I'm pregnant!! Andy and I are ELATED to announce that we are expecting a baby this fall, November 1st to be exact. I hope to use this blog to update all of our family and friends on the progress of the baby and what's going on during this exciting time.

I'm just starting week 15 today and I have to say I have been looking forward to this point in the pregnancy. I was sick, dog sick, from week 6 until last week. I still have my moments, but the worst has passed for now. I havent had too weird of cravings...pot pie with honey on it was probably my craziest. These days I want a lot of pizza and last week I could not get enough Taco Bell. My only aversion is to lunch meats. I can barely stomach to watch a Subway commercial, let alone see or smell it. I do remember days back in week 7ish when I couldnt even turn on the TV. The restaurant commercials made me run to the bathroom to get sick! It was pretty bad. Now I have it pretty figured out where I have to avoid. I still cant cook much though. Having the smells linger in the house is too much for me at this point.

We arent going to find out the sex of the baby before he/she is born. Andy and I both want to be surprised. We are tossing around names and are pretty set on one boy name and one girl name, but the middle names are up in the air. Of course, those are a secret too! Sorry! I know, we are no fun.

I look forward to recording this journey and am ready to start enjoying this pregnancy...now that the nausea is subsiding. I'll post a belly shot soon, as there's not much to see right now. I just look a little chubby! :)

Have a great week everyone!
