A Big Week & A Big Reveal

Week 5 of this pregnancy came with many milestones and memories.  Not only did I get to visit the Doctor's office this week, but I got to be a part of my baby brother's big day!  First thing's first... the wedding.   Due to a late drop, Kevin was added to the wedding party, which I greatly appreciated because it made for some great matching photos. :)  The whole day was beautiful as was the bride.  The whole family was there and the party could not have been  better.  Good food, good drinks - so I was told... I am officially off the bottle as you can imagine - and good music made this evening unforgettable.  Congrats Travis and Sarah!

Now onto the other exciting event this week, the doctor!  After a long talk about what Baby O is going to cost us, I got to visit with nurse Gene.  She was awesome and informative and made me feel like my crazy questions about lunch meat and Cesar dressing are not so crazy. Blood was drawn and tests were run and they determined that I am fairly boring.  Of course boring in the baby making world is a good thing and I won't need any more attention until week 11.  It is a long time to wait, but there will be a reward. Our next visit to Parkhill Women's Clinic will also mark the first time we get to hear Baby O's heartbeat.  I can hardly believe that in 6 short weeks we will have solid evidence that Kevin and I are about to upgrade to a party of three. 

 As if the wedding and visit to see the doctor was not enough, we did get an opportunity to tell my side of the family about our exciting news.  They were of course surprised, excited and a bit teary eyed - yes you mom.  And, since we went to the Cardinal's game, we were able to procure Baby O's first official gift, a baby sized Rookie t-shirt  with the birds on the bat!   Next up, the Ools.  Kevin thought Father's Day would be the perfect opportunity to share the news so their special gift is officially on it's way that will more than likely catch them completely off guard.   I can't wait to hear their reaction and start the countdown to WK 11.
