Momma and baby are growing

Here is me at 17 weeks. Whoa mama! Where did that come from? My new lovely, comfy maternity clothes accentuate my new shape too. The baby supposedly weighs about 5oz now. I ordered some belly brites off ebay a few weeks ago, and they are the best things since sliced bread! They had to be shipped from Australia, so they took awhile to get here, but they were totally worth it.

I went to the doctor today, and all is well. My blood pressure and everything looks great. I got to hear the little one's heartbeat again today. I feel such relief when I hear that little sound! The doctor said I should start to feel it any day now. We have an official date for our BIG ultrasound-October 28. We will get to find out boy/girl that day. We will even get to bring in a tape and they will tape part of it for us. They also did the second part of my bloodwork for the tri-screen. The first part came back negative, so we expect that the second will too.

This weekend we are going to a Just between friends sale in Chattanooga. We are hoping to get a good start on all things for baby. We will also get to visit Jared's parents while we are there. My family is also coming along for the trip too- even though it is my dad's birthday. Happy birthday Dad!

Last thing...I have put up a voting poll for new blog names. Everyone seems to like the coffee theme and I do too. Coffee is a big thing for Jared and me. We both love it and especially love to relax together and have our morning coffee (mine is decaf these days). I also love to meet friends at my favorite coffee place (starbucks) to talk and catch up. There is something warm and fuzzy about a cup of coffee and friends/family and that is why I think it is a good theme for my blog. My favorites are "Cafe Klibbe" "Our cup of Koffee" (the K for our last name), and "Latte' Love" (lotta love-get it :o)
