Lemon

This week baby Mudd is the size of a lemon! He or she weighs between one to one and a half ounces. I can't believe I am 14 weeks already (okay, it's a day early...close enough, I had to get Danny to take my belly picture before he leaves for NY tomorrow morning). I am out of the first trimester and on Tuesday we will have exactly 6 months until my due date. Really!?!? Where is the time going?

So much has changed in the past few months and it has been a really exciting time. Our partying and hanging out has slowed down quite a bit. We are really just enjoying this down time together as husband and wife. I know that in just 6 short months our lives will be turned upside down and we will have a little life to take care of. And that little life will be our whole life! I can't wait but at the same time I want to cherish every moment of this pregnancy. It has already gone by so fast and I am so grateful that everything has gone smoothly so far. We still enjoy getting together with friends but between Danny traveling, the snow and being pregnant, we haven't had as much time. Hopefully our friends don't think we've forgotten about them, there's just a lot going on and we've been really content with spending time together lately.

I guess with all the excitement from our appointment last Monday I forgot to mention Valentine's Day. It was pretty low key. I made a nice dinner on Saturday and on Sunday we went to the movies together. We saw When in Rome which was really cute. I love romantic comedies! Danny also got me a dozen of red, white and pink roses. They were beautiful! He wrote a heartfelt note on the card that brought tears to my eyes. I'll keep the specifics for just us, but lets just say I have a keeper. :)

Danny is getting ready to leave for New York again tomorrow. I am headed to VA Beach on Friday with my friend Mickey for our annual scrapbook retreat. I will be gone all weekend and unfortunately I will miss seeing Danny when he gets home on Friday. I'll get to spend the evening with him on Sunday but then he is leaving for NY again that following Monday. That's nearly two whole weeks without him. I've never gone that long since we've been together. This whole travel thing is getting old really quick!

Here's my 14 week belly picture update!
Keep growing baby Mudd. We love you!

So I'm taking bets on the estimated due date (EDD) and whether we will be having a boy or girl.

So far the following people have weighed in:

Cierra - EDD August 6th - Boy
Co-Worker - EDD August 15th - Girl
My Brother - EDD August 17th - Girl but hoping for a boy
Liz C. - EDD August 18th - Girl
My Hubby - EDD August 21st - Boy
My Dad - EDD August 22nd - Undecided boy or girl
Kristin - EDD August 25th - Girl
My FIL - Girl
My SIL - Girl
My MIL - Girl
Dorsey - Boy
My Mom - No EDD - Just wants him or her to be healthy!

If you'd like in on the fun let me know. :-P

I on the other hand still have no inclination of boy or girl. Statistically with the Mudd family I'm thinking boy, but other things make me think girl. Heck, I don't know! I've never done this before. Well, we have about 6 weeks until we find out! SIX WEEKS!?!? Oh my gosh, I will be half way through my pregnancy in SIX WEEKS! Someone please slow time down...
