The Keefauver's + 1




That's right! Jeff and I are having a baby! We were VERY surprised but we can't be more excited. Well I should say now that the morning sickness is not taking over my life I am getting very excited.
Proof!! Sorry if this is disturbing to you! :)

This was me almost two weeks ago. I'm 16 weeks along in this picture and starting to get a little bump. I am now 17 weeks.


We have seen the heartbeat 3 times and have heard it twice. It is strong and fast! 

The pregnancy so far has not been very easy. I got sick starting about week 5 and stayed very sick until week 16. Let me tell you it is not fun, but I am thankful now to be eating things other than saltine crackers!

Pregnancy Highlights this Week:

How Far Along: 17 weeks 

Size of baby: {length of} a sweet potato, {weight of} boneless chicken breast

Measurements: 5 inches, weighs about 5 ounces

Baby Milestones: nervous system is maturing rapidly, the hearing has grown and will be able to hear more sounds, learning the art of yawning. 

Best Moment this week: our contract being accepted on a house we are potentially buying!

Gender: find out VERY soon!!

Movement: Not feeling anything yet

Food/Drink Craving: burritos! Yes this started yesterday and it is the first craving I have had. Not just any burrito but and ground meat, bean and cheese burrito! YUM!

Sleep: I have good nights and bad nights. Good nights I only wake up once to go to the bathroom and am comfortable. Bad nights I am tossing and turning and can't get very comfortable, plus I get up at least twice to use the restroom. I have also had some weird dreams too. 

What I am looking forward to: lots of things coming up: finishing teaching, going to hawaii 
to see my brother and sister in law, finalizing things on the house.
 

Symptoms: can tired be a symptom. If so I am the queen of tired!


So let the games begin.... what do you think I will be having? A boy or a girl?
