offically outnumbered! :)

I have been chastised 2 different times in the last week for not making an
official announcement :)
In my defense, for all of you on the Nuttall side: Grandma Nuttall and Grandma Linda have known since December and so it would appear that I seriously underestimated the Nuttall Grapevine.
For my side of the family: My parents have known since December as well, so they could have told at Christmas but since I was home being sick I am not sure what happened there....

For the rest of you who actually check my blog: first off, thanks! I figure that there are like 5 people who might check it regularly so you are pretty cool for caring :)
and again, in my defense, I did put this cute little ticker up on the side of the blog when I was 6 1/2 weeks.
Yep, just right over there.....
So those of you who didn't know, the ticker was the only think that I did. Nobody got any special individual announcement. I figured it would be fun to see who pays attention. It totally rocked, for me anyway. It would appear, that for 2 babies in a row now, Uncle Jeremy and Aunt Becca were the first ones to notice. And within 24 hours! Quite impressive ;)

• Anyway, I am about 15 and 1/2 weeks along (refer to ticker) and things are going really well. I have been getting frequent ultrasounds because they found a cyst on my left ovary that was 6cm and causing me some major discomfort. At 5 1/2 weeks, it was 6 cm, and at 11 weeks it was 6.5 cm and yesterday at 15 weeks it was gone! Yay for me :)

• I have had little to no morning sickness. I did get afternoon/evening sickness that popped up at about 8 weeks and left at 12. As long as I ended my day with a glass of ginger ale and my prenatal vitamin I was in good shape. It was great, especially compared to "Puke Fest 2008" when I had Lucas...yuck.

• I outgrew my favorite pair of sweatpants at 7 1/2 weeks which I think is completely unfair. I just bought a new pair that have a very expandable waist. I love them.
  

• The kids are super excited to have a new baby on the way. Luke is way excited and Taylie has finally come around to the idea that it will either be a boy or a girl and not a puppy. She wants a girl and Luke just says that he wants it to be cute.

• I have been feeling the baby move for about a week now and it moves LOTS!
  

I think that is pretty much the low-down so far and not much has happened that is too exciting. I will have to post some pictures of the bunk beds that the monkeys sleep in now that they share a room (not for Taylie's lack of protesting, believe me!). We go in for the head-to-toe ultrasound on March 11 and we will find out what we are having.

If things stay as uneventful as they have been I may not post much baby news until then. If there is something you want to know, just let me know. I figure that the 3rd time around, not much will change until towards the end.

I am loving this little alien baby already!
