17 Weeks Tomorrow

I can't believe we will be 17 weeks tomorrow. Right now it feels like everything is going by so fast but I know it will slow down as soon as I am too big to enjoy it anymore. :) I officially felt the baby move this week .......... feels like bubbles. I woke John up at 6:00am Wednesday morning to share the news, he was happy but a little less enthusiastic (he is not a morning person). I can't wait until he is able to feel movement too, what a miracle! We had a doctor's appointment last week and made the appointment for out 20 week sonogram to find out if we are having a Baby Boy Brewer or a Baby Girl Brewer (October 20 is the day). We also had blood work done to determine if there are any indicators that the baby will have Downs Syndrome...... tests came back negative. Good news! We made the move into our new town home and everything went well. We love the new place, it is so spacious and having a backyard is so awesome for the dogs. We are not completely done unpacking/organizing but it is beginning to look like home.

15 Weeks

We are 15 weeks today. Finally no more "morning"sickness! Praise the Lord! However, I have now developed back issues that have me visiting the chiropracter weekly and receiving pregnancy massages... not that I am complaining. :) I am absolutely positive that pregnancy causes the loss of brain cells, inability to stay awake past 8:00 PM, and an increased need to whine about little things. John is such a trooper and has been so supportive during the pregnancy journey thus far. We had an at home sonogram on Friday, performed by my step mom. Baby Brewer looked very much like he/she was conducting music and then doing toe touchs. We saw arms, legs, fingers, toes and even a profile view of a nose and little lips. I will try to get pictures posted soon. I am already showing and John is very amused by my growing belly. Students and faculty at work make comments daily about the increasing baby bump. And on that note, we are on our way to the gym. Hopefully what we do during pregnancy will help me lose the baby weight faster after Baby Brewer's arrival. We are moving this weeked to a slightly bigger place. Please pray for sanity, safety, and speedy progress.

12 Weeks

Welcome to the first official Baby Brewer Blog. We found out we were expecting at the end of June much to our surprise. We were super excited after we overcame the initial shock. This is the first grandchild on both sides so they are thrilled as well. Telling family and friends was both a nerve racking and exciting time. I had no idea how anyone would react since no one expected it. We were 12 weeks on August 25 which was the day the students returned to school. I was hoping the "morning"sickness would have subsided by then however that was not the case. :) By the 12th week John and I had already seen and heard the baby's heartbeat. WHAT A MIRACLE! We will keep you updated on how the little one is "cooking."
