16 Weeks!

I wanted to start this blog awhile back but I ended up just making those posts private.  I guess to start off the public blog, I should say that the mister and I are expecting our first baby in January.  Of course we're both scared and aprehensive of everything.  I have been reading a ton of books so that I can have a least a little knowledge before Baby gets here.  I also have been asking my friend from back home and my sister-in-law a million questions of what to expect.
Speaking of that, I went to New Orleans last week for a hospice convention and met up with my sister-in-law.  We went to Target to add several items to my registry.  So much fun to look at all of the cute baby stuff!  I also received Baby's first gifts from his/her aunt, uncle and cousins.

I am starting to get some of my energy back as I have been falling asleep by 6:00 or 7:00 each night.  No morning sickness at all.  I really have been blessed thus far. 
I have an appointment with the Nurse Practitioner Tuesday at 3:30. She is going to do a quick ultrasound and I will see if she will try to check for gender.  I know it's kinda early but I know others who have found out this early or earlier.  Brad is going with me and will take pictures of the ultrasound screen (the machine doesn't print pictures).
