18 week appointment...check!

So Rob and I headed off to the OB this morning and were happy to find out all is well. The baby's heart-rate was 162 and the baby is now sitting in a much more normal and more comfortable place than near my intestines which I am very thankful for. We scheduled our next ultrasound appointment for Friday September 5th so hopefully in just over 2 weeks we will know if we are having a boy or a girl...woohoo!

Still sleepy!

What a weekend (I know it's wednesday already, good lord). Rob and I headed up to the Cape on Friday for my cousin Patrice's wedding Saturday morning. We met up with Big Mike and my mother for some great seafood right on the beach Friday night but called it an early night so we could get up early to head to the wedding. Saturday morning we got stuck in crazy traffic trying to get to the wedding but luckily the ceremony started late so we made it. They got married right on the beach at this very cute little inn, it was a great day. Sadly Rob and I had to leave less than an hour after the ceremony to start the drive to North Providence, RI for our college friend Laura's wedding. We made it in time for that wedding, had a few hours between the wedding and the reception to relax and then it was off to a 5 hour reception! She planned her reception so well, there was a dance off, gags during the garter toss and lots of other little details you know she put tons of hours of work into! It was nice seeing the old UCONN gang and it was the first time everyone had a chance to see my now growing belly. Sunday we got up, went out for breakfast, headed to a PawSox game, and then finally got home a little after 5pm! I passed out for 2 hours as soon as we got home, Rob made me some pasta for dinner, and then back to sleep I went. I had to get up early Monday morning to head to New Haven for a stats workshop (with J.). It has been an insane last few days and we are really looking forward to Rob taking a few days off next week so we can start on the nursery!

Thanks about all for now!

No news is good news =)

Not too much to report on lately. I had to change my OB appointment because it was scheduled for Friday but Rob and I will be on our way to Cape Cod for wedding #1 and then quickly heading down to RI for wedding #2 the same day! The appointment is now scheduled for August 18th and hopefully then we'll schedule the anatomy scan (which is when we should be able to find out if we are having a boy or a girl!). I am officially into the 2nd trimester which comes with it the allowance for *some* caffeine which is nice. Hopefully we'll have some pictures of my growing belly and us from this weekend to post next week.
