Yup...it's a Peanut!


Today was our 8 week appointment and as you can see, our little peanut is growing like a weed. And much to Ed's dismay, there is only one baby inside (hooray!). I'm hoping that I'm making things up when I say that the majority of that blob looks like a head. The Priest family is known for producing babies with large heads. I'm fearful of the Priest head! Nevertheless, the doctor said that things are progressing just as they should. The baby's heart sounds good and the length is right on track. For now, we just eat, sleep, and wait. I go back to the doctor in 2 weeks for my first trimester screenings and tests. At that point, we will be able to do another ultrasound and get to see even more. As of now, our due date is May 4th. As for the pregnancy thus far, I can't complain. I haven't thrown up (knock on wood) and for the most part, am regaining some of my energy. I have been super tired but the last couple of days have been better. All in all, I am blessed for the minimal symptoms and can only hope that they continue. Stay tuned for more. Love to all!

It's a Baby!

Surprise surprise! Ed and I found out a few weeks ago that the stork will be coming to visit in a few months. After the initial surprise, we are now excited and looking forward to beginning a new chapter in life. We will have our first major doctor's visit next week - our 8 week appointment. Stay tuned for more information. In thinking about the best way to share this experience with all of our closest friends and family, who don't live near us, we thought it best to document the next months through our blog. We plan to post regularly so please book mark this page and check back often as we share with you our journey in getting ready to welcome the Priest Peanut.
