Well I am officially 11 weeks along now. Steve and I are starting to feel much more comfortable telling people our news and I think it's just beginning to seem real to us. I've been incredibly lucky as far as first trimester symptoms go. Hardly any nausea to speak of and my energy levels are still pretty good. Steve can attest to the occasional wacky mood swing though :).

We hope that this blog will be a way for us to connect and share with our family and friends throughout this pregnancy and beyond. It can be tough to be far away from the people we love, but I really like the way that sharing words and pictures in a place like this can make you feel instantly connected again. Come back every week for updates on our growing bean and other fun stuff we've got going on here in Madison.

For your viewing pleasure, here is our early sonogram from 9 weeks, 1 day. The baby was just about 1 inch long with a heartrate of 180bpm. And you can even see a foot!

Yep, you got it. A new little pea will appear in March!
