New parents and our journey of discovery with our little Sprout, Aaron

Anticipation

So, we are going for our 12 week scan tomorrow.  I feel both excited and anxious.  Excited that we get to see Sprout again and anxious that there might be something wrong.  I know its pretty normal to feel this way, so I am ok with it.  I just cant wait to wake up and […]

Old Wives Tales

Well, its been a pretty uneventful few weeks since our last scan.

Todays the day!

We are getting ready to trek out to see Dr D.
Scan time!
Scary but I cant wait to get there and see the Sprout!
Oh yeah…  I have morning sickness, heaving, gut wrenching morning sickness.  Its not fun but I kind of like it if you know what I mean…

Not too much longer now
