16 Weeks, 2 days

We went to the doctor for our 16 week appointment today. Nothing too exciting. We get to find out the sex of the baby next time (Feb. 27th) which we can't wait for! Doctor says everything looks great. Then she broke the news to us that she is pregnant....with twins! She is due before me so there will be some time towards the end where she won't see me. But she is planning to be back working by July so she should still be able to deliver our little one. That's all for now...we will keep working on getting some pictures on here soon! Promise! :)

15 Weeks, 2 Days

So I had someone tell me the other day that they had NEVER seen someone as big as I was at 15 weeks. Nothing like the "good night?! you sure are fat!" comments! Thing is, I don't think I am really that big at all. If I am not wearing an obvious maternity shirt I hardly look pregnant!

I promise we will work to get some pics on here soon so you can all see how fat I am getting! :)

14 Weeks, 1 Day

This week has been a good one for the most part. I still don't feel like I look pregnant, just bloated but apparently the next 2 weeks are supposed to bring a lot of change, so maybe I will look pregnant soon!?

For some reason the lily pie ticker I had up went down. So I have added a new one, this one is cool because it tells what it developing this week for the baby. Enjoy!

12 Weeks, 2 Days

This weekend was quite eventful for the Lowery household. I (Sara) got pretty sick on Saturday and ended up having to go to the ER to get some fluids. Everything is fine...better safe than sorry, right? The upside of the hospital visit was that we got to hear the baby's heartbeat! Needless to say, it was by far one of the best sounds we have heard in a while. It made it all seem more real.

We also went to the doctor this morning and everything looked really good. We got to hear the heartbeat again and get a few of our questions answered. Our next appointment is January 30th. We will be sure to keep everyone posted. We are planning to start the "belly shots" this week sometime...we will get them up as soon as we can! Happy New Year!

The Real Reason

Now that news has officially gotten out, here is the real reason we have started this blog. To keep everyone updated on the growth of our NEW BABY!!! That's right, we are expecting! We are due July 15, 2006 which puts us at 11 weeks, 2 days. We go to the doctor next Tuesday for our 12 week appointment. We are a bit nervous about this appointment but very excited at the same time.

This pregnancy has been rather mild, Sara hasn't been sick much at all (a HUGE blessing)... just tired. Our excitement is starting to build as we tell friends and family our news.

We appreciate your prayers both for our little one and that God would begin to prepare us to be the parents He desires us to be.

Be sure to check out our "baby ticker" below with a countdown of how many days are left!

Let's give it a try!

This is our attempt to keep everyone updated on our lives. We hope to be able to update on a somewhat regular basis, though probably not until after we get through Christmas! We look forward to being able to keep in touch with you all! Merry Christmas!
