Did you hear that?

Such a trip!
Dana and I had our 16 week appointment today and for the first time, we heard Peanut's heartbeat!! It was right at 165 beats per minute which is consistent with where it has been measured in the past. My mom is convinced that makes it a little girl. :) Boy or girl, we know it's a kicker!! At our last visit, the doc did an ultrasound and it was clear the baby was kicking and cruising around in there, and when they used the dopler this time, she was able to locate the heartbeat because of the strong and swift kick she heard first. So crazy!
What was even more amazing was the way the baby was positioned, right behind one of my arteries. So while all I was paying attention to that quick little flutter of a heartbeat, the nurse pointed out that my heartbeat was beating right along side Peanut's. Once she pointed it out, it made everything so very real and at the same time, so completely out of this world!

All in all we have a healthy Peanut and we are SO thrilled. I am still really struggling with morning/afternoon/evening sickness and with that comes a little more weight loss. We are hopeful that a nausea free/gag and throw up day is just around the corner, but we are staying positive. :) Dana has been the GREATEST support and coach and has done a great job making sure I have plenty of food and water in my system...all..the...time.

Our next appointment is June 1st and we will find out what the sex is!! WOOHOO!! Looking forward to updating you again soon...

Who says we need a truck??

Proof again that a truck isn't necessary when hauling equipment.

Yes, that's right..that's a 6 ft ladder in a Civic Hatch.

My man is a LOSER!

That's right! Dana is a skinny mini loser!
In his office 12-week 'Biggest Loser' competition, he took the cake and came in first place. (There wasn't a single week he fell from that top spot.)
He literally worked himself ragged taking spin classes, running, swimming and ate like a true health nut. All his hard worked paid off when he jumped on the scale and saw a total weight loss of 29.5lbs!!

He celebrated his victory with a chili dog and ice cream...and his stomach showed him quickly who is boss and why he will never..EVER celebrate in that same fashion again. Lol!

I am so proud of my loser husband..he really applied himself and made it happen! Good job baby, you are a rockstar!!

Before and after pics to come...stay posted.

No..its not a piece of lint...it's a BABY!! :)

Yup, you read it right, we will soon be a family of three!!
Baby Davenport will be joining the party in October.
Peanut's heart is beating at about 165 bpm and the doctor says that everything looks great to this point. Mom is definitely feeling woozie but is resting easy in the knowledge that for most mamas to be, that passes. :)

Something just doesn't seem right here?
