3rd time's a charm

Da-da-da-da....Important announcement folks...

Aaron and I are super excited to have our first kiddo in July 2011!!!

I finally feel safe posting this to the blog world.  To explain the title of the post, this is actually my 3rd pregnancy.  Numbers 1 & 2 ended in miscarriages at 7 wks and 11 wks.  They found out I had low progesterone (necessary hormone to maintain uterine growth and development) levels right at the start of the 3rd so was quickly started on progestin 2xday.  I guess it worked because as of today I am about 12 wks pregnant and officially out of the 1st trimester...AMAZING!  I was starting to think I'd never see a 2nd trimester.  We find out in about a month what the gender is, but regardless, we're just excited to have a living, growing fetus :)  I've been sort of restrained in my excitement because of the 2 disasters, but I finally feel like I can start being excited and start planning and day-dreaming. 

Here's pictures of little "Fud" so far.  (We went to Fudruckers the other day and so my dad thinks the first name should be Fud.  So far unfortunately the nickname is sticking. Every time the baby comes up, it's referred to as "Fud."  Oh boy, gotta love Royal)
