Hey hey, we're online! This past weekend we finally came out and admitted to being pregnant. We made it past the first trimester and decided it was safe to make the announcement before people started asking about our constant hunger/nausea.
I should probably disclose that I don't actually have the baby in my belly. Most of the pregnancy books we stocked up on say that not only do I get some of the credit for making a baby, but I also get to have sympathy symptoms. I'm taking full advantage of this new sanction. If I want a fudge sundae at 2am, it's fine...we're pregnant!
You don't want to hear about me though, you want to hear about the newest little Green. She/he/it had a healthy heartbeat of 162 beats per minute during our last visit to the doctor. All the books use fruits and vegetables to describe the size of the baby and in week 13 it grew from a large lime to a regular lemon. Referring to the baby as a piece of produce was a little weird at first but we got used to it.
We don't know the gender and as many of you know, Crystal is set on not learning until the little watermelon pops out next February. I'm working on changing her mind. My current tactic revolves around the logic that once we know, we can buy appropriate clothes. If we do decide to learn the gender, the doctor can tell us at our Sept 25th ultrasound.

Oh yeah, the photo. That's a photo of our niece, Alyssa. Alyssa found out she was going to be an older sister in May. My sister Jessi, let Alyssa make the announcement. Jessi and her husband Dustin are expecting their second child January 24th, less than four week's before us. Crystal is due February 19th.

Ha thanks Ashley. Some of the input we've been receiving on learning the gender versus waiting is actually starting to sway me to the other side. Don't tell Crystal though. If she finds out I'm swayable...yikes!
