Hi everyone! Sorry for the delay in posting but I have been ridiculously tired every night and find myself—well actually Matt finds me—falling asleep at 7:30 on the couch! I find that on work days especially, when naps aren’t an option, I am so tired that I just fall asleep immediately after we eat dinner. I barely remember my head hitting the pillow. I hope that in a few weeks, when I get into the second trimester, I will have some renewed energy! Despite the sleepiness I am still getting some good runs in. Last weekend I ran 6 miles at the NCR trail and felt great. Baby Fraz is already training to be a runner and doesn’t even know it yet! Ha ha!

Speaking of other things that Baby Fraz is up to…my horn on my car stopped working so I immediately called my father-in-law. He gave me a few options to look into and so Baby Fraz and I got to work and checked out the old owner’s manual for my Honda. In it we were able to find where the fuse for the horn is located. We pulled it out, evaluated it, found that it was busted, then went to Pep Boys and bought a new one. As soon as we put it in, we tried the horn and voila! It worked! So at only 8 weeks little baby Fraz has learned how to change a fuse! What a smart little bugger he/she will be!

As for the pregnancy update, Baby Fraz is the size of a kidney bean this week! So much is changing in there so fast. There are already arms and legs that move, eyelids, and the beginnings of fingers and toes! I went to meet my OB yesterday and was able to ask a thousand questions. She was really great about it and did an exam to confirm that everything looks great! Still no morning sickness—thankfully! In about another month we will have another sonogram to show you and at that time it will look like much more than a little spec!

Hey! Congratulations on the wonderful news! We are so excited for you both/all!
What a delightful blog you have, I had not been to it yet so, I just read some older posts. Also, I wanted to share my thoughts on ‘knowing’ the baby’s sex ahead of time – I had the amniocentesis done for 3 of the 4 of my rugrats and did not ask to know because we really wanted it to be a surprise. And, in the day and age of almost everyone knowing the gender of their babies, it was hard not to ask the doctor. But, we held firm and were able to be surprised each time. So, for us, there was a certain element of joy in having this surprise because we were not able to ever make any assumptions about the babies, their possible personalities etc…
So..for what is worth…that was our experience! But you guys will be in the minority of expectant parents to not inquire as to the sex of the baby!
Keep well, have fun and really enjoy the ride! It is so very much fun!
Love,
Elisabeth and Dan (and kids)
PS. Wasn’t it great to spend time with Jen and her family! She is amazing and they are terrific kids. We had a blast.
Thanks for the advice! Our plan has been to wait to find out the sex. It makes it hard for my knitting but then I will just have to work double time and make boy and girl versions of everything! We had a great time with Jen, Rhett, and the kids. It was so nice to spend time with them! Hope all is well with you:)
