Congratulations! It's a fuzzy white thing...

Some of you may be more skilled than I am at reading an ultrasound.  To you I say, "Congratulations. That is a talent I will never possess."  To the rest of you who are as lost in the hazy black-and-white pictures as I am, all I can say is that there was a definite heartbeat! 

This morning, Tom and I were able to see our baby's tiny heart pounding away at 122 beats per minute. (No wonder I'm so tired, kid!)  We were also able to hear it, which was an absolutely amazing moment for the two of us!  I'm super happy Tom was able to be there for all of it, so if you happen to see his boss around, be sure to tell him, "Thanks for taking the week off!"

Spilling the Beans About Our Belly Bean

On July 26, my mom and dad took us out to celebrate Adam’s and my birthdays (they’re just a week apart, you know). After a FANTASTIC dinner at M&S Grill (Thanks, Dad!), all 5 of us went back to the Lee house for birthday cake and presents. As the birthday celebration began to wind down, we shared our big news with the family. Tom had already told his mom we are expecting, so it was great to have the big baby secret out in the open!

It's Official - We're Preggers!

Now that the word is out that there will soon be THREE Archers, here are the details:

E.T.A. of Baby Archer - March 25, 2011

So far so good on the morning sickness thing!  Mama-to-be is tired and can't stop drinking water (or getting rid of it later!), but no nausea or other icky side effects!

No, we're not finding out if it's a boy or a girl.  Kristin is cheap and wants stuff she can use again for any future brothers or sisters.

And yes, it's good timing!  We're hoping to make it to the due date - that way Kristin can take the last quarter of the school year off and not have to leave the little munchkin at daycare until August!

More details as they become available...
