Baby Love

Dane and I are very excited to welcome our first baby this October!! We found out in February and shared the news with our parents and siblings right away. We went home for a wedding that month and we were so excited to hug our parents and celebrate in person. We spread the news to our extended family and friends at 11 weeks on April 2nd. 


I took a few extra pregnancy tests..

We had doctor appointments at weeks 8 and 10. We had an ultrasound at both appointments with a heart rate of 171 and 170.


My parents came to visit for Easter and took some fun pictures of us. 


We used this one as our facebook announcement.


 I was excited to share in the tradition of bringing Dunkin Donuts Munchkins to work on the day I shared the good news with my coworkers.


For some reason this picture is a little skewed. 
Here I am at 12 weeks headed the Duke Div Spouses Ice Cream event at Maple View Farms.


This is my bump at 16 weeks headed to Josh and Erin's wedding.


We moved to a new townhome with 3 beds and 2 baths to prepare for our growing family (and our need to house our families and guests when the baby comes. ;)



Here is our sweet baby at 18 weeks. :) 
We were beyond thankful to get a good report with no concerns on baby's development.

We are headed to Arkansas for a week in June where we will reveal the baby's gender to our families with a cupcake gender reveal party and cook-out at my parent's house.

I had some "evening sickness" around weeks 8-11. I basically went home, went to sleep on the couch, woke up, and went to bed. I didn't eat dinner for several weeks. I am feeling much better now with an almost normal amount of energy. Dane has, of course, been great through the entire process. This includes nights of getting  me a cool washcloth for my head so that I could fall asleep.

He even bought me a Mother's Day gift! 


I have been craving ice cream, Sonic, pickles, steak, tomatoes, coke, and biscuits & gravy. I'm pretty sure almost anything sounds good these days.

Right now we are trying to chose a name for our little love. Thanks to Beth, we currently affectionately refer our baby as B-Wom for Baby Womack. 

This is surely an amazing journey. :)
