11 Weeks

With the boys I have always kept up with a hand written journal all through pregnancy with specials pictures, cards etc.  With Cole, I wrote until he was 2, even journal down to his first bite of corn on the cob it was VERY detailed!  I remember Levi telling me "now make sure you do that with all of them or they will have a complex."  So with Judson I started out strong but ended his journal at age one when I started blogging.

So...I'm taking Levi's advice and started another journal and so far I have kept up pretty good with it.  But let's face it, I'm just 11 weeks!  Being the baby of 4 I don't even have much of a baby book so I know I am a little over the top with my pictures, journals, and card keeping. But I don't want to forget special times and how we felt.  Which leads up to this blog...I am going to double document a few things with this pregnancy so they are in our printed blog book (which I need to get printed).

So here we are 11 weeks!!  This pregnancy has been quite different than with the boys.  I have only had slight nausea and by slight I mean not existent compared to my boys.  I am starving every couple of hours but nothing sounds good, but this is getting better.  As of right now I am down 8lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight, I did this with both boys also, so I know I will catch up SOON!

Our first appointment went great last week, we heard the heart beat with a Doppler and it was 161 (Cole was 171 and Judson 151 at same week) and strong!
 

  We will not find out the gender of the baby just as we didn't with the boys!  We LOVE the surprise.  It drives some crazy and as of right now, Cole isn't too excited about waiting.  And just to answer the question that EVERYONE keeps asking...we do not care one way or another.  We are learning how to raise boys and we can learn to raise a girl too.  We can't wait to see what gender God has planned for us...either way we are very excited for this journey to grow and meet the newest baby James.
