Baby Z

I had a feeling something was up when I got emotional over a John Deere commercial and a documentary about Garrison Keillor...



That's right folks, we're expecting a Baby Zak! The bun has been in the oven for about 11 weeks now, which means I'm due around mid-March (brings a whole new meaning to the term March Madness!:) We're very excited, and also at times shocked and overwhelmed :)

I had my first real appointment last week, where the above photo was taken. I didn't know they would do an ultrasound that early so I was really excited! I got to see his/her little heart beating and arms waving away - so amazing. According to my doctor everything is healthy and right on schedule. Also 'healthy' has been my case of morning sickness. Joy. Thanks to my new favorite drug, I have been able to keep down food and water, necessary things to sustain this miracle that is causing my digestive track so much trouble, in more ways than one.

Once I start to show we'll keep you posted with preggo belly pictures. Sometimes I think I'm showing a little already, but there's a good chance it's just gas.

Oh, and for all you moms out there, I have about a zillion questions so be prepared to hand out the advice like it's candy!

Take care and God bless ~ The Zak trio

It's so exciting to see baby Z in person! Send me the picture so I can print it and put in on my fridge---isn't that what all grandma's do???

(Yes, Mrs. Pucci...that's what all grandmas do...wowzers, you're getting a double dose)
