We're Expecting!

Most of you already knew this, but for those of you who didn't, WE ARE EXPECTING!  Our little guy or girl is due to arrive on May 23, 2010.

This is a picture of our first ultrasound at 2 months where we saw our little bean moving around and also heard the heartbeat.  The doctor said that we could go ahead and tell anyone we wanted because after hearing a heartbeat the risks of a miscarriage are very low. 

We have been very excited and it was hard to keep it a secret for the month that we knew but didnt want to tell anyone yet.  We even had family visit our house and see the room that we left empty and they asked us if we had anything to tell them, aka, is this a nursery???

We are now finishing our third month and almost done with the first trimester...boy will Colleen be happy when that happens.  She has been very tired and has some bouts of morning sickness that actually hit her at night.  She even threw up while visiting her in-laws in Missouri! :-(  She has had a hard time eating healthy because when she doesnt feel good all she can stomach are things like Bagel Bites and Spaghettios!

We have another doctors appointment today and then another ultrasound a week from Friday where they are going to try and determine the sex (among other things!)  But by next Friday we could know if it is a Baby Boy Dahlem or Baby Girl Dahlem!  That will help us with narrowing down our list of names!
