Introducing, Grant Fitzgerald Yaeger! Ron and I went for our first ultrasound apointment yesterday and we are so thankful to be expecting a healthy baby boy. The babies heartbeat had slowed to 146 BPM and is sitting VERY low. With these two pieces of information in mind, I made a last minute guess, boy. I was right! Ron's jaw dropped to the floor, I think he's still on cloud nine. While there, the ultrasound technician checked around 200 body parts and checked for abnormalities before even letting us see Grant on the screen, talk about nerve racking! We are thrilled to have a baby to carry out the Yaeger name, Ron was the last. As for the name... Ron and I were in Montgomery a couple of weekends ago and went to a baby store called Storkland. While I browsed, Ron flipped through a baby name book. He came across the name Grant and read that it made great first impressions and was considered a "strong" name. He asked what I thought and I loved it, the name was born. It's awfully hard to pick a middle name for Grant. After much consideration we decided to use my maternal grandmother's maiden name, Fitzgerald. My entire life, people have told me that I'm just like her and we were extremely close, I feel very proud to have my first born carry out her name and plus I think it just sounds cool. Ha, I admit it!

17 Weeks
Ron and I traveled to Greenville, SC for a wedding this weekend. Ron's roommate from his last deployment got married last night and we enjoyed a weekend away from it all! We stayed at the Westin in downtown Greenville and had a great time exploring the city in the rain! Ron had a great time reuniting with old Marine Corps buddies, the groom John, is an aspiring politician and hopes to become President one day! Time really seems to be flying by, at one point this wedding seemed like forever away and now it has come and gone. I'm enjoying being "noticeably" pregnant now. I had my first stranger acknowledge my pregnancy last week. I asked to use the restroom in a jewelry store and the owner said, "Of course, I know how moms-to-be are!" At this point in the pregnancy I'm dying to feel the first fetal movement. I ask the baby daily to come on already and kick me! Ron and I are sooo excited for tomorrow's ultrasound. It will be our first and we'll find out the sex of the baby! Neither one of us has strong feelings about the gender, we have no clue what to expect, but we are finally agreeing on names... to be continued!

15 Weeks!
Well Folks, I'm officially showing! I had my 14 doctor's appointment on March 5th and heard the babies heart beat again. It had slowed to 150 BPM and my doctor said I was, "blossoming. " Ha! We will officially find out the sex of the baby on Monday, March 30th at 3pm. I can't wait! 15 days to go. My parents came to visit Ron and I this weekend in Auburn and my Mom and I had the best time shopping around for baby stuff. There really is not a lot of "gender neutral" clothing out there. EVERYTHING is pink or blue, I can't imagine not finding out and planning for a surprise. The past couple of weeks have been a breeze. No real cravings or diversions to food although I did get nauseas last night after eating a lot of soy sauce. For now, we are just so excited to be expecting and we're having a great time daydreaming about when our little one arrives!
