12 weeks and counting...

I have been thinking and talking about starting a blog for years without much success. I hope to be better at this blog than in the past. For now the goal is a weekly update. Well now there is a bigger reason to create a blog. Arthur and I are expecting our first child!  

The official due date is the 3rd of July, but Arthur and I think it is the 4th of July. Arthur says the 4th is easier for him to remember as it is a important date for him as well! 

After lots of deliberation we have created a nickname for the baby, which is Cookie Dough or Cookie D' for short.  

My first trimester has gone fairly smoothly. I have had a few slight waves of nausea and only been sick one time. (Note: Cookie D' didn't like Tokyo Joe's).  I have had the typical exhaustion and occasional strange feeling in my abdomen, which is to be expected as things are growing and moving around to make room.
