A grand adventure is about to begin!

The news is out! Baby Liles will be arriving near April 11, 2012! We are overjoyed that we get to finally share the news with everyone. It was so hard to keep it a secret for the first 8 weeks! Chris recently got a new car and at every dealership we told the salesman we were pregnant just so we could tell someone!

So far everything is going great with the pregnancy. As far as symptoms, I have been fairly lucky in that I haven't had much nausea, only a little aversion to certain foods every once in awhile. Ofcourse I have been very tired this first trimester and as Chris told the OB "a bit moody." We have had a couple ultrasounds throughout the first trimester but the most recent one at 11 weeks, 6 days was the best! When the sonographer started, the baby was asleep so it took some coercing but once he/she finally woke, poor thing had the hiccups! It was surreal to see actual movement and to hear the heartbeat. That is when it became real for us!

I have included a few pictures below of the journey so far from when we first found out to the first sonogram as well as my growing belly. I will be starting a pregnancy/baby website on http://www.babyjellybeans.com/ in a few weeks once we find out the gender, which by the way will be November 10! Until then, here are a few to tide you over. Love you all!

Exactly 4 weeks pregnant!
