Sarah and I had a doctors appointment on Monday at the women's health center where we'll be going for all of our check-ups, classes, and other things that come along with having a baby. I thought I'd pass along the news that came out of the appointment, even though there isn't that much to tell, really.
Basically, everything seems to be progressing normally. They took blood and did all of the normal tests. Everything pointed to the development of a healthy fetus. They figure we're about 9 weeks and 5 days into the pregnancy, so we'll go back in about a month to get an ultrasound and do some more tests for things like Down's syndrome and any neural tube disorders. They tried to listen for the fetus' heart beat yesterday, but it's a bit early along in the pregnancy for the rhythm to be very pronounced, so we didn't hear anything. So it goes.
The due date we've been given is April 30th, so... Keep that in mind, I guess.
So, that's all, really. Things are going well, for the most part. Sarah is pretty nauseated and fatigued almost all of the time, so we have been taking things pretty easy around here. The new TV we got has been getting a lot of use, so I've got to give a big high-five to pregnancy in general for justifying the amount of money we spent on the TV. Hoorah.
Not much else to say for now... I think we'll be taking some more pictures around here soon, so maybe we'll be sharing those on here. I sort of feel bad for not taking more pictures since we moved here. I forget sometimes that most of you all have no real idea what it looks like out here or what we see on a daily basis. Hopefully we can help to change that soon.
Be good, kids. Stay Gold!

A quarter of the way done! YAY for baby Kole! Sarah, sorry you are feeling so icky. Hopefully it's just a couple more weeks before you're feeling better. No news from MN - it's getting cold though! 41 when I went to the bus this morning. Keeping Mama, Papa and Baby Kole in our prayers!
