After 5 years of marriage and 1 1/2 years of trying, we are excited to tell everyone that we are pregnant! Baby Gard is due to arrival December 25, 2010. As of today, we are 12 weeks and 1 day along (but who's counting!) We couldn't be more excited, scared, relieved and worried! Since Melissa is a compulsive planner, she has already begun compiling a list of names, daycare options, diaper services, and nursery decor pictures. Michael just laughs and let's her "plan" knowing full well Melissa will change her mind tomorrow!
The 1st Trimester has been rough for Melissa. She has been plagued with the dreadful morning sickness and actually lost 10lbs during the 1st couple of weeks. The books don't lie when they talk about being exhausted and feeling nauseous all the time! Finally into the 2nd trimester, she's feeling more energetic and is able to eat most foods again though she has a weird aversion to foods she once loved (like grilled cheeses and quesadillas!) Melissa is back to Pilates and Yoga to strengthen those core muscles and hopefully to make the delivery easier.
Keep checking back for more updates. We plan to keep all our family and friends informed about the pregnancy via this blog.
