Update...

For those of you asking for blog updates, sorry for the delay. It has been a bit busy at the Beard house. Tim had his marathon last Sunday and his family came out to watch. He did great, as usual! We had Christmas early with his fam and the baby and I got some great presents. Tim’s mom got me some way cute preggo jeans and some other maternity clothes and his brother and sis-in-law got us this amazing heart beat monitor with headphones and a belly cast set, I can’t wait to use them! They also got me a wife beater that says “kickin 24-7”…fitting. We got some very cute blankets that his sister sent too. One has fire engines on it. Everyone seems to be of the opinion that Baby B is a boy. He “feels” like a boy so I’ll be shocked if it’s a girl. Speaking of girls, Tim’s eight month old niece was here too and she is the most precious little thing on the planet! She did such a great job cheering at the marathon and Tim fell in love with her immediately (as everyone does). He wants a boy but he’d be great with a girl too! We have our next ultrasound on the 22nd of this month and I’m hoping we can find out the sex. I’m chomping at the bit to start the nursery. Here is a photo of me at 15 weeks, rest assured that all that belly is now baby (not gas like before). To my horror, my worst fears are being realized and I’m gaining weight in my face terribly. I know, every woman goes through this but it’s weird to watch yourself change at such a rapid rate! I feel much better now, though, and aside from some anemia, things are going swimmingly! Here is a link to http://www.babycenter.com/ http://www.babycenter.com/6_your-pregnancy-15-weeks_1104.bc?intcmp=timeline it shows what the baby looks like and how it's developing week by week, really interesting! Thanks to all of you who continue to check in on me and Gummy Beard and we’ll update again soon!
